Young Thug: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

- 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?

He has some sitting on the desk
He’s almost 10 years into his stacked career and he might be about to drop his best album yet
So much fun ?

Barter 6 btg Jeffery??!
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
❤❤❤❤
Amazing performance from Young Truly Humble Under God.
It came up today in court where does he talk about god in songs, the intro to this needs to be played in court, get this over to his lawyer bryan steele Immediately
He actually rapping , no back vocals ...Thugga impressive
The band had his back
Autotune still
@@daved2981 guitarists still bring their guitars when they perform
@@torinreese4829 I know how he raps I'm saying it wasn't raw like that comment was insinuating.
He does this at all his concerts too. I was shocked this first time I saw him live at Bay Area rolling loud 2017
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
The live version of Droppin Jewels sounds so beautiful
Love how the guiters are not overpowering and yet audible🎸👌🏾
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
The crazy thing is this is just the beginning of greatness. He mastered his sound
🤫🤫
This the encore
Droppin jewels is one of the greatest rap songs we’ve ever been given.
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 🔥
Shoutout to the drummer who was killin it before Barker came on. He got BUSY.
bruh he ate fr
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 😂
@@elijahgavin6706 Well Thug’s is good 😭😭
😭😭😭😭💛❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maaaaan FR. King slime delivering for the world.
set coordination unreal
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
Magical!🙌🏾🙌🏾2yrs later n im still coming back to this!!! Free Slime🐍🐍🐍
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.
Yasssssss😭❤🎤🎶🙏
.
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
Guy on drums’ on fire 🔥 😂
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
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
@@edwarddavid2219 fr he just tryna get thumbs up
I come back to this every week never once left disappointed
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
@@gidd you probs think all old rappers are the goat
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.
My 3rd time watching this performance. ❤ I don’t even know Thug’s catalogue or nan song. Praying for his health and peace. And for all those involved. God can restore all of us. If we allow His will to be done in our lives. In Jesus name. Amen. 🙏🏾
"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?
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
I think ive watched this over 100 times. It’s the greatest video I’ve ever seen.
Also a Big! Shout out ! To the drummer!😲🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏
Who woulda thought “ski” done with a band would go this hard
Facts. I actually love that song now after hearing him preform it here live.
@@rsbburch isn't that ole boy on the drums?Travis
Not just a band, but a special guest on the drums..
If you told me travis barker would play drums on it,
Me. I would've thought
Live band always make music better
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.
@@alexbaker6566 12:30
@@feel.021 first drummer was great but Travis went IN on those drums lol
Travis over plays a bit in my opinion
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
This is the standard that all hip hop/rap tiny desk sessions should adhere to.
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.

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
This Thugga performance is so iconic. Legendary. Immaculate.
I don't know why I can't stop watching this performance.
Die Slow got me in tears.
Took the words right out of my mouth no cap.👌🏿

Still one of the greatest tiny desk😮💨
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
this was a *S Tier* Tiny Desk performance before the first song even started
Love listening to this at bedtime
His voice soothes my soul ❤
Man the last song get me turnt up everytime…that drum solo Omg 🔥🔥
The energy of the pink haired drummer is legendary.
He is Travis Barker🤩
@@spacedrifterrrrr Think he's talking about Tosh Peterson, but yeah they were both on fire 🚀🚀

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

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%. 🩷🌈🥰
