How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
Artist like Buddy, The Internet, Phony Ppl, Boogie, etc etc are gonna run the next decade. They’re a bit unnoticed to the major public currently but there time is here
@@tarvorshaejones343 You are spreading misinformed nonsense! Like trip hop is some new thing your young daughter introduced you to. Don't muddle the waters by stealing a coined word and apply it to some wannabe enlightened west coast rappers. Trip hop is a sound from Bristol, England based in electronic music since late 80's. See artists like Tricky, Morcheeba, Goldie, Massive Attack. Again, no understanding of anything outside of the USA. Typical American ignorance.
The diversity of NPR is surreal, their taste of music is like no other, and the performances as usual are divine. Thank you for always letting me find new artists to love!!
Tiny desk is every true musicians goal. The difference now? The youth is catching up to it. So they aim to please. But in my opinion? Not all things are for the youth. Things like good and real music should never be compromised. It doesn't matter who wants a part. It's called respect. But the problem? Today's society and people's feeling of entitlement... Makes me puke
I keep on coming back to this performance. One of the best, really. Also, the backing vocalist, Rose Gold, took me away. Love from Cape Town, South Africa!
Buddy a real one tho ... go watch his old stuff he been puttin nipsey in his clips had a k.dot feature wayyyy before he blew up. Pharell actually pushed him he mad talented.
yo wtf i love this shit and the fact he's singing/rapping about about home. people are coming so far. thank you for helping me end my night on such a good note.
When you hear some real real-good shit that you can absolutely relate to. Thank you @tinydesk for continuing to hear us and let us be heard (seen, centered, uncensored) .. this is why tiny desk is all I'll play in my family's home. Love that my son gets to grow with this in his water
I'm a NEW BIG FAN of this young brotha Buddy. I first discovered him on "Sway In The Morning" L.A. Studio..... This young man has a special likable aura about him.
Rose Gold is a vibe all herself. How she was in sync on the "hey up there im on my way up" & looked up @ 10:10 after "I been goin thru some RLS" give u chills.
I have no idea where we'd be musically without this channel. NPR Music, these artistes are LEGENDS! Thank you for all the great music! Please add links for the artistes' YT channels. Keep up the phenomenal work!
Heah my west coast artist are so creative and unique. I love the vibe and the lyrics always make your mind stay shard. 39 years young I am and you all make me think of the 80s real rap. Big up to all the west coast talent everywhere. Young Man I heard your musiq before but didn't know your name. PEACE,LOVE and LIGHT UNTO YOUR ENTIRE BAND AND YOURSELF🖤🌎🖤
Love when the live version so just as good as the studio version if not better. Buddy, u solidified yourself w this one fam. Amazing how is energy is real n not artificial.

Sunset Tim BIG FAX

Rose Gold on the background vocals killing it
Brooke Daniels killing it
Rose Gold is amazing
Yesss she is!!!
ahh thats who i was looking for! good looking out
So her name is as awesome as her voice
The drummer looks at peace with life
Michael Boschelli right when I read this comment he’s kinda licked his lips and looked wistfully into the distance. 😢 it’s a beautiful thing
Lil Jon out there killin it lol
@@jasonbannerman-thompson3181 Hilarious!!
one word "drums"
He’s in his own universe behind those shades
WHY ARE THE MUSICIANS NO LONGER CREDITED ON THIS? PLEASE CREDIT THE MUSICIANS.
^^ yes, good point
roofeeo on the drum
Brody Brown on bass, Rose Gold on BV...some help for the other members please
Oh glad you noticed!
David Foreman on guitar...
So talented, hope he finally gets recognition this yr.
Now waiting for Smino’s tiny desk
I think the fact that both of them are on REVENGE OF THE DREAMERS III is really gonna get them some long overdue recognition.
@@SuperOwenCooper looking this up right now..!!
KnOwenCooper oh yea for sure
KnOwenCooper Agreed. So many great producers & artists on the project, I’m expecting 100+ songs.
PATIENTLY
Damn this was dope but that girl was SNAPPING. She needs her own show
jared frodel Rose Gold is doing her thang
Facts she stole the show
jared frodel facts
The whole time I was wondering who she was and if she has any music of her own I could listen to asap!
he good, luv the lyrics but tbh he cant really sing...she can SAANG
Who is here in 2024? The lyrics. the band .. Buddy and the vocalist great combo :)
Underrated.
Such a joy-filled, child-like spirit, with a mature mentality. This kid is incredible.
Keep going, Buddy.
severely underrated -
Damn, the band is doing a fantastic job
Artist like Buddy, The Internet, Phony Ppl, Boogie, etc etc are gonna run the next decade. They’re a bit unnoticed to the major public currently but there time is here
Darrel Be I agree and I’m so so excited for it!
They in a genre call Trip Hop..my daughter introduced me to the term
I wouldn’t say they’ll run the next decade lol
But they’ll be important to the underground
Darrel Be Significant to the culture. People that say “who? never heard of them.” Missing out like crazy. I honestly dislike mainstream audience.

This was the first time I heard of Buddy. I've been a huge fan ever since.

Yesss. Any time I'm aching for new music, I can always count on NPR
they literally invite the only peeps I be listening to. 👌👌💯

Talkin' 'bout the diversity of musicians that they invite to Tiny Desk, right? Not the diversity of the staff of NPR?
@@gilmarlopez3590 ok boomer
FYYE 🔥. That background vocalist is underrated.
Her name is Rose Gold.
Legend
@@Groovy-GG I saw her a couple of years ago Performing with The Pollyseeds (Terrace Martins Group). Check the album on Sounds of Crenshaw
You need to be rated to be underrated she's good though
Beautiful ...that's all!!!
Shout out to NPR sound engineer, perfect work, like always
dobriyvecher underrated MVP for sure.
Background vocalist is doing her thang
Sitting down at that!
Facts sounds just like the record version 🔥🔥🔥
The homie Rose Gold from Baltimore!
We need the band and background vocalists name fasho 🧐
She’s nice
I hope he stays golden. He’s a hugeee breath of fresh air.
isnt he what
This young man is incredibly talented. That band is hot. And that vocalist though. These folks are going places.
I first learned about Buddy thru Pharrell Williams.
it was Nipsey Hussle for me @@duandavis
I keep on coming back to this performance. One of the best, really. Also, the backing vocalist, Rose Gold, took me away.
Love from Cape Town, South Africa!
same, love this! Buddy got the real rhymes and soulful vibes! One of the top Tiny Desk performances no doubt!!!
S.A !
@Ragnar hahahaha
When he looks at the camera I feel like he I starring into my soul.
Those long gazes will haunt me
Samangelo real shit bro.
Yep r souls.
Samangelo no seriously. I caught myself wondering why he was looking at me. Really helps us watching connect though
Nope. He just pissed cause NPR people stopped him from lighting a blunt. Read the description. 😂
@@olasadeesq1102 I know this is a year old but I just seen it and started cracking up
I don't know who is in charge of finding artists for tiny desk but they are doing a great job.
It's a girl who used to do A&R for some record labels. I forget her name.
The Colors Show also. There's alot of great artists there too.
I love everything about this. From his rapping to the instrumentation.
He’s a beautiful black person. I tend to see beauty in a lot of ppl but his resonates.
You should look up his session on ADD (AllDefDigital), he's a funny guy too! Does seem to have a cool vibe.
Check out his songs "Black" and "Black 2". Black pride ❤️💯🎯👍🏾
Yeah Buddy. Trouble on Central is my jam you heard!
Nice guy!
Perfect band!
Oloco Mv bill

Buddy is the most underrated dude in the game. Harlan & Alondra is a modern classic 🙌
As 45 y/o veteran of South Central, Gardena, this brotha told my life story in 3 songs.
Buddy is real soulful, feeling this going to check out his album now!
Thanks.
Four years later and I’m still here ❤

Buddy a real one tho ... go watch his old stuff he been puttin nipsey in his clips had a k.dot feature wayyyy before he blew up. Pharell actually pushed him he mad talented.
Buddy deserved a longer video. Man has enough hits to have a 30 min performance.
His eyes are piercing... old soul,.... and speaking from his heart!
Buddy one of the best rapper/singers out there
This is so good, I can't even listen to Buddy's album anymore. These versions are so good, his band is so fucking tight and on point.
