Young Thug: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2021
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Sidney Madden | July 27, 2021
Young Thug looks right at home in the lush, almost regal, gardens of The Houdini Estate in Los Angeles. The serenity of the chosen location might seem too delicate for the punk-rock raps Thug and his crew reverberate through the grounds, but as hip-hop's impactful oddball, oxymoronic magic has always been his strong suit.
For the last decade, the world of rap has lived, learned and been liberated while under the influence of Young Thug. His contorted cadence, visionary fashion sense and freaky, frantic wordplay have inspired an entire generation of artists to no end. And now, the Atlanta iconoclast is evolving yet again. Not only is he wading through the waters of punk with his forthcoming album, Punk - Thug is using his Tiny Desk debut to usher in his next era, one that's meant to represent "authenticity, consciousness and overall purity." Premiering songs off his long-teased album (due out Oct. 15), the Grammy winner's rhymes slither along smoothly no matter how rough the music, taking fans on a journey of energy and emotion.
"I'm just seeking for God's soul 'cause I know something's missing," a peach-haired Thug admits on his opener, "Die Slow," before divulging specific hardships that shape his music. It's a small sample of the tests in life that inspire lines like, "You gotta go through this s*** with your heart / You can't snooze on it" and prompt him to celebrate even the smallest wins with VVS diamonds and exotic vacations. By the time the sun sets and the crew is joined by famed drummer Travis Barker for a fresh rendition of the chart-topping "Ski," the surge of triumphant excitement is almost too much for him to contain. But then again, why would he want to?

His vocal sounds exactly like the studio version it's crazy, even in rollingloud yesterday he killing it
Is this live vocals or is he lip syncing?
@@CrayonJesus honestly normally id say lip synching but in this clip it REALLY looks like live vocals unless he's amazing at faking it
@@MitchOrangeHoarder yeah I just watched beyond 30 seconds hahaha and it sounds legit. I'm just so surprised at the quality of his live vocals tbh

He’s still using auto tune but yet it’s actually live

Can’t believe people still try put him in a lazy mumble rap box, he’s a special artistic genius
hes a goat
he the hood kanye
Oldheads will be oldheads
🐐
I mean…. Those ppl aint wrong by putting him in that box either though. I know you are a fan of him but he still fits in that box whether you like it or not.
This is still my favorite tiny desk performance of all time.. way too good.
“I told my son he’s not a cheerleader , but he may have to catch a body” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I need this album
I didn’t hear that first time, what a bar
Willie the kid said it first in 2008
Super hard 🔥🔥🔥
Oh that’s fire af
Been said plenty times
Whoever does the sound for these tiny desk concerts is a GENIUS!! Always crystal clear sound.
Pre record
Pretty sure they have prerequisites for the equipment setup, npr has standards on how these tiny desks are set up to maintain their consistent quality.
@@jakeerland5139 lol no
@@jakeerland5139 that literally defeats the purpose of this channel
@@cameronduque For shure they are pre recorded, look at the drummer; them drums is not live
“You might gotta to take the assist, letchu dawg get the big shot” 💯
Real shhhh!
No autotune , real band? my godd this is the way !
Very very little auto tune ❤
Thugger is honestly one of the most underrated truly talented artist to pull off such a wide variety of sounds. Respect for anything Jeffrey puts his passion in to.
Y'all call anyone underrated
He not underrated but yeah
he was underrated like 4 years ago
@@biigsquid he still underrated Idc

Two years passed, it's mid summer so I felt like listening to some So Much Fun, but first I had to pay the homage to this masterpiece.
this actually just happened to me.
Hard
❤❤❤❤
Two years later and I still rock w/ this.🦦
He’s almost 10 years into his stacked career and he might be about to drop his best album yet
So much fun ?
@@user-io7im7ke1b not even top 2 IMO
BTG best album imo
@@Xxblackops4xbox360xX barter 6 then BTG for me

The cinematography, wardrobe and set coordination is literally next level. I felt like i was watching a concert filmed like a movie.... So insanely excited for this next era of Thugger and I'll be counting the days until P*NK! Long live the GOAT. SLATT!!
Idk about the wardrobe 😂

Thug's versatility is so crazy man
One of the greatest to ever do it
@@1lilshawn__the greatest musician of all time no debate
Let’s go ahead and give this man his flowers while he’s still alive
He has some sitting on the desk
The live version of Droppin Jewels sounds so beautiful
Love how the guiters are not overpowering and yet audible🎸👌🏾
This honestly sounds like it could be his best
it really does
Cuz u can actually hear 👂 wat he’s saying lol
@@escalantemikey1 if you can’t ever understand him then his music ain’t for you.
Yeah cause there's real instruments
Every project he gets better
Thugger iconic now. Trendsetter. Pioneer. So unique. Slime in his own line. Created a wave so catastrophic the game had no choice but to ride it. Love this. Also the band deserves a Grammy for the best live performance!
nahh brahhaa, itzz alroight
No better way to explain him ! Factss tho
Iconic 😂😂😂😂😂😂 stop it!
Lyrics don’t even make sense. First time hearing this and all I remember is ‘bounced out of my car shot him in the face..’ yes 15 year olds can definitely relate to that 🙄15 year old YT boys.
Young tug a c***k is not a musician. Let’s be honest here!
@@missqt48 😐
@@missqt48 move along old lady this definitely ain’t for u
this is still one of my favorite tiny desk
it is not that I dislike this album , but I always return to this sound over the one on the tape.
Thought it was just me
This is a great performance. This will be re-watched by many people for many years.
On my fourth time already
I watch this everyday 💯
I definitely downloaded this
Frfr might be the best next to Flatbush Zombies and Vince Staples
This man a beast
This is simply a masterpiece
You most certainly have a smooth brain.
@@mr.miller3432 lol if this is a masterpiece what is Mac Miller's tiny desk?.... as soon as I put that in of course Travis Barker shows up haha
No hater but man, ur masterpiece has no voice, can’t sing and gets views like if he was kendrick lamar. I don’t get it
@@noahziegler3478 there’s no masterpiece here, only dumb peopole hyping trash artists and whack music. And goating a guy that can’t even sing hahaha
@@luismontiel966 i understand you dont get it bc your an oldhead it's alright. he can certainly sing btw
I truly believe thugger has done some dirt but I also believe in redemption and second chances there’s always time to be redeemed he’s still a great artist no matter what
Real real talk!!
No. Kizzy
I’ve never vibed so hard while rolling by blunt , huge thugga fan and stumbling upon it at a time like this had me full of emotions lol so hyped
That’s what music is all about 🔥
"I told my son he ain't a cheerleader but he might catch a body" BARS!!!!!
i guess lil wayne said it first
No cap said sum like dis too
wayne did it first
What does it mean? No English native.
@@LD-bf1mi Im also curious, from Romania. Any captains here?
I can't see how anybody wouldn't recognize his genius …please give this man his flowers.
Yeah, but don't forget lil Wayne did this already...
@@jensenc2472 this isn’t about lil Wayne tho
you’re brainwashed
Genius? Please stop there is nothing genius about this. Its a fine performance but genius gtfoh.
@@bluecollar825 ok
Magical!🙌🏾🙌🏾2yrs later n im still coming back to this!!! Free Slime🐍🐍🐍
Still one of the greatest tiny desk😮💨
Give this man he’s flowers while still alive
He is a flower, just like you it seems.
If he’s flowers while still alive, what is he when he’s dead?
@@nickoliver3523 he’ll leave his seeds and they’ll grow big almost like him. The seeds are all the artist he influenced or put on.

There's auto tune in the mic but very minimal
@@vivaofficial7372 yeah bro after listening, i hear it now lol🤣 I guess they were running the mic thru pro tools and his vocal chain
Lol definitely autotune on plus backing vocals and other vocal effects.
what if i told you autotune was never meant to hide singing ability but to accent vocal rythyms
Last night was so beautiful. My 8 month old daughter said her first words. She looked me dead in my eyes and said “ Daddy, is it true that Thugger is the greatest artist of our generation and the closest thing to MJ or Prince to ever exist?” It was truly an amazing father daughter moment
Lol
the most excited I've ever been for a Tiny Desk
same bro. the snippet sounds amazing

Asfff when i saw this in my notifications i just stopped everything im doing to watch it bro
In life...

still the best tiny desk performance ever.
I listen this song with my soul, this guy is the best one.
One of the best imo
Travis was fire on the drums. And “don’t hate me” is bomb
@@feel.021 travis barker was there
@@feel.021 it can be argued that the first drummer played better. I think he played a lot better. His dynamics were on point. However that really doesn't matter. Travis did great too and brought his own vibe.

This Thugga performance is so iconic. Legendary. Immaculate.
It’s not until you put yourself into this mans shoes until you will realize the pain and passion behind his words . . . Jeffrey Lamar Williams
One of most misunderstood people there is...
@@mattali4163 and only us real fans understand him. All these haters know nothing but they think they know everything
What’s his story? Im interested because I like his music but I don’t know much of him cuz i come from classic rock and was just introduced
It's actually JEFFERY, not JEFFREY
@@juliusseizure4983 Jeffery llamar*
Man the last song get me turnt up everytime…that drum solo Omg 🔥🔥
I never saw the talent of playing drums before i saw This!? Amazing!⭐
Hope he gains freedom soon, This talent shouldn’t Die 😞✊🏼
Too much talent its sad .... this is happening
Там где он сейчас его талант оценят по достоинству, не переживай Принц Эдди
he killed 40 ppl
Sorry to burst your bubble but he's definitely not getting out soon lol
Maybe he shouldn't commit crimes so his "talent" could flourish.
He is so different and unique. This man is a walking legend
No Cap💯
Sure
I tried to tell em. They'll find out soon enough 💯
Facts
@@RoomTempChamp he has a very unique and innovative vocal style and isn't just rapping/singing over trap beats like most artists today
Am I the only one on this planet that keeps coming back to this daily? 🤦♂️
Truely Humbled Under God. Thugga the goat, king slime. YSL 4 life
I’ll be coming back here again and again, that’s a classic now
He's very unique, a lot of people don't realize
They do thats why every big name in the game has collaborated with him and they show him mad love. Plus he has been around for years you can’t if people don’t realize that you are a unique and good artist

tosh go crazy.. hes a vibe NOFUNNYSHI
Great music. I love this chill it gives me.
I can see why the prosecution didn’t want to play this in trial. He comes across as so adorable and it’s hard not to think he’s a cutie at heart.
His environment growing up wasn’t his fault- he’s doing everything he can to help and survive.
He has my support, 100%. 🩷🌈🥰
Exactly
legendary performance
This needed to be 30 minutes minimum.

Right? Too many classics
Future's gotta do a Tiny Desk now, imagine that!
him performing codeine crazy or xanax damage…
Not that weird to me, they already had Gucci
Tiny desk would turn into a trap house real quick
omgggggggggggg
Future was booked and didnt arrive last minute, that's why we have Zaytoven's tiny desk which is amazing
Love listening to this at bedtime
His voice soothes my soul ❤
Can’t wait till you get back to this music bro for real everything about you fire🔥🔥
Punk gon be a classic. Kinda reminds me on beautiful thugger girls.
I was literally saying this
If you wanna be honest he changed the game for rapping on guitar beats. People was clowning him before the album came out. Now look at how many people doing the same thing
Another CLASSIC otw🔥💕
I was thinking exactly the same
