Oct. 30, 2017 | Abby O'Neill -- Can you believe it? Yes, those are The Roots packed behind the Tiny Desk. Black Thought, Questlove and the crew carved out a few hours in their hectic Tonight Show schedule to visit NPR headquarters in Washington D.C. Why travel four hours for a 12-minute concert when you own the late-night airwaves? The answer can be found in the lyrics to The Roots' new song, "It Ain't Fair."
Armed with the incredible vocalist Bilal, The Roots performed the signature track from Detroit, a film about the race riots in 1967. "It Ain't Fair" glares unflinchingly, takes a knee and raises a fist against the societal construct that has systematically denied equality of experience to those "presumed inferior," to quote one of Bilal's verses. And it achieves all this while covering its heart with its right hand. This reflective hymn tenderly yanks your heart strings and offers a window into the ethos of those who would like to stand for the flag but cannot in good principle, lest these same evils continue to exist.
Those lucky enough to be in the Tiny Desk audience witnessed masters at work. Black Thought is truly one of the most intelligent emcees ever, and his razor-sharp lyricism was on full display. Questlove, a musical and cultural historian nonpareil, was both a metronomical and moral anchor. It felt like the culmination of decades of academic rigor and boom-bap sessions, fittingly backed by a seven-piece horn section. Bilal's falsetto-laced vocals and warm resonance evoked powerful messaging reminiscent of Curtis Mayfield's "Don't Worry," delivered with the eccentricity of Prince.
Late last year, Common premiered "Letter to the Free" at the Tiny Desk and later won an Emmy for the song. It wouldn't surprise me if "It Ain't Fair" becomes another award-winning performance when the Oscars roll around early next year. This is a song that deserves to be heard in the millions of households that watch The Roots every night.

❤
U dont like those kind.of
But Still am i
d😮freeerrd
Many amens and glorifying brass and singing and all worthy of praise! Amen
My man with the Tuba hasn't stopped blowing since he walked into the room
He could probably survive underwater for hours with that breath control
solo de mirarlo me quedé sin oxigeno.
sousaphone...
and thats what she said
JACKSON MCNALLY lmao 😂
@JACKSON MCNALLY Lol who cares? A sousaphone is basically a tuba that wraps around you
The tuba is a hero
Can the trombone get some.............
It's a sousaphone, not a tuba.
legshakermaker1968 A sousaphone is a tuba so it’s ok to call it a tuba
@@viniciusbernhardtkroth971 actually a tuba is a tuba and a sousaphone is a sousaphone.
Dude set the foundation with his cheeks
😳Bilal had 400 years worth of pain in that voice
I’m black so I felt okay laughing at this because I’m laughing through the pain
Bilal has always gone in.....
It’s called the “growl” voice. They claim it’s not good for the throat but Bilal does it so effortlessly.
i feel like he was holding back too. absolute king.
As a former HBCU marching band tuba player. This dude is a certified Beast!
I was just thinking how outstanding he is - really pulling the whole show together.
Herculean effort.
dude i was thinking the same thing, i dont play tuba but i play electric bass. Groovin
Iron Lungs
AMEN!
This performance of "It Ain't Fair" deserves a Grammy.
Well said. So we'll said.
We don't need their affirmation
@@susiq1121 but hopefully it will reach more people that way
Facts 💯
It does tho
Bilal didn't need to go that hard...
He did that for us.
He did that for us...
He sho did
Ain't lying!
Sho you rite
Bilal always go hard. He makes my soul happy!
@@MissSuperHottie facts
“It ain’t fair when your protector is your Predator”
Bilal made sure we all felt that. He is incredible
This dude is beyond any charisma i´ve seen from a singer since maybe the likes of d´angelo in in the same age and really maybe curtis mayfield in the older times. His catalogue indeed is not well lit upon, reminisce is a masterpiece but i think this man chose a low-lit career also shining with robert glasper, where i discovered him as a nobody basically. The realness is high and maybe the realest aren´t meant for big fame. I pray he gets his tiny desk !
AMEN!
11:24 : that moment when Questlove readjusts his afro pick without missing a beat. Legendary
It’s like Michael Jackson spin move without getting caught in the microphone cord
My man on the Tuba is absolutely killing these funky basslines
💯
The ENDURANCE.
oh yeah he is so smooth and consistent - amazing skill
yes sir !
I believe its a sousaphone but you're damn right either way. Who even needs a bassist haha
Leave it to The Roots to come play the Tiny Desk and only perform one song.
Legendary.
i like both the new stuff and old but ya.. lol one new song. only pls.
Clearly wasn't only one song..
How would you even follow that song up?
Brilliant 12 minute opus...
Klay Niltasuwan I hear one song with instrumental intros and outros.
The Roots accomplished more in 12 minutes then most musicians have accomplished in their lifetime.
😂 true that
Life is beautiful
Black Thought is one of the best MCs we can witness to hear on this planet. Thanks NPR.
I feel like we're making a mistake by not recognizing Bilal as the generational talent that he is. Voices like his are few and far between.
Absolute Truth....
although I haven't found music as good as this on his channel.
@@BarathMiklos You might want to check out "Love for Sale", usually considered to be Bilal's best album
A pure gem!!!
If you don't recognize, then you are making that exact mistake and if, indeed you are then, SHAME ON YOU!✌🏾
ADVISORY: This video contains explicit good quality music.
Saxual content
"Because wolves disguised as sheep patrol our streets."
Listening in May 2020, the truth in this just hurts.
Thanks for warning me I’ll skip this video
@@kylejscheffler that pun.. your power level must be pretty high
😂😂
Man. Phew. Wow. Almost 5 years and this still slaps. This'll forever be one of the greatest performances in all of music history.
Omg Bilal's voice is miraculous!
The Audio engineer did a fucking marvelous job too! Wow!!! Overall, this piece should be preserved in a museum.
I wondered how they get this relativly good sund out of it. the room is actualy much bigger than it seams. One can see more of it in the blue people video
And all this is for free... I mean tiny desk wow
Hell to the yeah
Indeed. Sound never peaked or bled. Bravo to the sound engineer.
I wonder if the musicians have any monitors, looks like they don't!
More kids would wanna play the brass if they heard more music like this in their teen years
Amen
Fuck
Dave Matthews grace is gone
Word, that's exactly what I was thinking watching them. But hey, it's never too late too learn!
@Carlton Beckford-Dozier I played trombone, tuba, and bugle growing up. Got a lot of love for a tight brass section
8:38 "I identify with Death, that don't mean it's not an uninvited guest" that hit hard
INDEED!
I literally have buckets of tears streaming down my face. POWER and STRENGTH to the people just simply lookin' for love amidst the hate.
Me too Bro💪🏾✊🏾🤝🏾
100% performances like this have always brought me to tears EASY. At 44 years of age I have only recently accepted that it isn’t a weakness that I should hide but a part of me that I should have been embracing my whole life. Its a clear sign that I really haven’t found my true self BUT IM ON MY WAY 🙏🏽
@@Tacconi757 light speed!
@@oraclesma4575 appreciate you 🙏🏻
Bilal needs his own tiny desk concert. His catalogue is worthy of praise
and when he does i'm downloading it to my phone, laptop, everything!!
I have ZERO ideas why he doesn't have one yet. It's one of the most anticipated tiny desk concerts.
Come on somebody,tell it his voice is a national treasure
Sho you rite
Indeed
NPR: "Ok guys, this is a quiet, cosy desk please keep the volume down."
Roots: *marches in with brass band*
András Szepesi Hahahaha!
Bwhahahahaha! RIGHT!
Haaa
András Szepesi that’s how you show up to show out.
Only the ROOTS 😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!!
How have I missed out on Bilal for my entire life?!? So much soul in his voice, 100% beautiful.
that's very sad to hear, danny; however, the good news is: it's better late than never... glad you discovered magnifique bilal
You need to start with his first album and go from there.
Felt that a couple years didn't know about him till I was listening to 88keys album
@@BabyGurlnJP Facts
Start from the beginning, check out his debut album and go from there.
My Gee on the Tuba is setting the pocket! I love how he's the center of the entire groove! Brass dont get enough love outchea! Bilal is always an epic part of anything he lends his voice to. Black Thought is the GREATEST lyricist of our generation. Don't @ me on that. 🤷🏾♂️
Guy playing the tuba has lungs like a fucking submarine
qwertyismymom I know, right?! He’s even got cheeks like bellows to boot!
It's actually a Sousaphone! Basically a portable Tuba.
qwertyismymom олюз
Tuba Gooding jnr
Dizzy Gillespie cheeks
The moment you realise the tuba is one of the coolest instruments ever
True, buuuut, it's really all about the soul behind the instrument.
Love the sister on the horn holding her own!!!!!!
I cry every time I hear this masterpiece. it hits your emotions like a train
I feel you. This is pure heart, pure joy, simply amazing 🙏🏻
" people swear they woke but they walking in their sleep" preach
Too dope
Facts 💯
He completely killed it with that line!
Yes Lawd!!!
I need this tuba line to play whenever I enter a room.
eat more beans (works for me)
Lol!
Hilarious
Ha!
Ha Haaa True True
As Prince said ‘real music by real musicians’ . Always the best.
I’ve probably played this over 70 times. I want to say more but I don’t want to exaggerate. Pure Magic. Shine Strong 💪🏾 ☀️
Definitely “majik”
Bilal is so underrated...love him since Soul Sister
Sure is wow
Facts!!
I think i just witnessed one of the greatest performances of all time..
You ain't lying!
No.. that's baby's got back😀
Me too
A true generational imprint.
Facts! OMG!
Tariq is the most slept on lyricist. I dont know why. Dude rhymes are sick. Blial just slayed the mic for sure. The whole set was on fire!!!
Agreed, however the woke people have resounding appreciation for life. He steals the show IMO
Yes!
Wouldn't say slept on, many recognize Thought as one of the illest rhyme spitters of all time.
He is one of the illest 4 sure!
He's on my top 3 for sure
This gotta be the most powerful performance in npr history
That tuba sound is so clean holy hell, almost sounds like an actual bass
Not a tuba. Sousaphone.
I know - just a little addendum
Tuba Gooding Jr with those iron lungs.
fkniga1390 Lol 😂😂
it's a sousaphone....Sousa Gooding Jr still has a certain ring to it though.
@@AllWillFail From what I understand he also plays a tuba.
AllWillFail his twitter handle is @TubaGoodingJr
You win the comments...😂😂😂😂
This performance will always be a classic on Tiny Desk Concert and the world.
"Looking for justice, but it's just us." Dayum...that's too real.
They should get their own show and have Fallon on as their comedy guest.
doctoroctos or fallon could just fuck off altogether
A transfer to Conan is much needed, a crappy talkshow host like Fallon doesn't deserve a great band like this.
The problem is Fallon can't produce comedy
doctoroctos I absolutely love that idea
@@fvrs3411 Conan?!?!? He as never anything relevant to say AND is boring at the same time. At least Fallon is funny.
"When your protector is your predator, it ain't fair."
Resonated
Chilling
Hit me in my soul!
😪👏
@One Iam
IKR that's a dope lyric because it resonates with truth. And the crazy thing about it is that it could apply to more than just Cops. And that's the sad part.
It's been 3 years and I still can't get enough of 9:37. Goose bumps.
I can’t count how many times I have come back to watch this performance.
Bilal and the Roots are channeling the ancestors. Tears raining down, aint fair!
I hear you sister
Black thought is channelling them too.
I'd never heard of Bilal until I saw this video.
@@kountzer check out 'bilal-soul sista' which was his first single years ago..early 2000s....'bilal-fast lane ft jadakiss' is another big song of his
@@kountzer I'm so glad you're here!
Black Thought! One of the greatest lyricist ever!
Quote me on that.
And the most underrated
Undisputed fact!
Yes....truly
And MC too
💯
I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this set…Bilial’s vocals😢…Black Thought’s lyrics…man I’m in a whole vibe
Wow!! It feels like a spiritual experience hearing this all over again today. I needed this more than ever. Shivers went up and down my spine throughout.
if you had told me 8 years ago.. that tiny desk was going to be the place for emerging black culture and classic rap.... id has jaw dropped. by.. lol lil tiny desk has totally become that.
Miss O.P. Thank Gawd!
Miss O.P. Yeah! The widespread respect held by NPR for different music cultures is really what makes I️t top tier for me
Top. Tier!
Npr variety!
I'm french and just discover tiny desk.. Not really aware.. So, I'm curious to know.. What was tiny desk before ?
"Because wolves disguised as sheep patrol our streets."
Listening in May 2020, the truth in this just hurts.
Crying.
@@kahyangni6808 thank goodness that cop and his buddies are being prosecuted. Let's come together through music!
@@zackennedy He'll get to keep his pension.
Bill Orcutt Good, then the civil suit can be funded if he loses
What makes you think that every police officer is a corrupt wolf?
My boy Bilal went off.
10:44 to 11:24 is one of my favorite slices of music of all time. It’s pure catharsis.
That's why I keep coming back
Bilal said,” AAAaaaaaaaaaaghaaaaaaaaaaghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAH!” I feel you bro. I feel you. ✊🏾❤️🖤💚
YEP!!!!!🎯🎯🎯
bars
Yeeeesssssssss! 😊
He feels this in his soul…that’s pain
Lol yesss😂😂💙
Bilal has been underrated for so damn long. Him and Musiq Soulchild are everything!
Chim Cham bilal was Musiq’s voice coach
I’ve listened to this prolly 97 times over the years. It might be the greatest song period. Like if someone asked me what’s your favorite song I’d show them this right here.
That tuba player is everything!
Fact: Covid 19 stands no chance against the tube guy's lungs.
Chuch 🙏🏿
Sousaphone
It's because his lungs are saved.
@@christianhenry4173 COVID 19 doesn’t have chance against the entire group my friend.
Wish that were true.
Bass line riff played by the tuba!!!
Isn't that a sousaphone?
Nostra Fn Damus apologies...bass line played by the sousaphone.
Yes, It is a Sousaphone. Awesome bass line too.
Peanutbutter jellyfish Exactly
Bad ass....Sousaphone is still a tuba :)
Tiny Desk’s consistency in delivering live performances that are superior to the song’s respective studio performance is otherworldly.
simply the best performance that ever happened in this office
For a minute Bilal had me thinking I was a black American. Then I remembered I'm an Australian with middle eastern parents 🤣🤣. But I felt that. Much love.
Lol
Ayyyeee!!! That's alright!
😂😂😂
🤣
People swear they woke but they sleep...I pray the Lord they soul n to keep!!!
What a appropriate song for these troubling time
I been seeking this song out for healing purposes, been helping alot , very needed in times like this
Keiona McElhoe This is why our ancestors created the music. Healing, celebration, love, frustration, hate, regret, shame, hope, faith-our shared experience has and always be expressed in our music. It’s entertainment for some. It’s cathartic for us.
@@bobbyspencer7089 absolutely! Man I haven't got a good CZcams comment that made me feel heard in years it feels like, thank you. Here I got one for you that's been keeping me afloat as well , I share it with hopes it'll give your soul the love we need ♥️ Mos def Umi Says
Keiona McElhoe you guys making the youtube comment section a more bearable place, thanks
Word.
I cry every time I listen to It Ain't Fair. Without fail. Every. Single. Time. Unbelievable song performed by unbelievable talents.
I come back to this one again and again…what a performance…and a message🙏🙏🏽
That tuba better be the best paid in the band
Nathan Nichols He sho is the DIZZIEST! lol.
He is a total hero
Yup, I was gonna type dat but u already feelin dat!
The real MVP
Nathan Nichols exactly what i was thinking.
Crazy part is that it sounds better than the original to me.
Top 5 Tiny Desk performance.
Never heard the original but this slaps hard I'm done
It’s the best performance
I will roll with top 5.
Tiny Desk tends to do that with artists. I still hope some of these recordings end up on Spotify or Apple music.
Questlove's dynamic control for playing/room awareness and his ear for the music is amazing
It ain't fair that I'm just finding this in February 2021, watching this for the third time, fighting tears at work because of Bilal's voice & the Roots visciousness! LOVE ME SUM THEM!!!
100% it doesn’t matter where I’m at when I end up right here, I cry tears of joy. Idk how many times I’ve been here, maybe 25-30 times. I see the same comments with the same names that I forget as soon as I leave. When I’m here though, I feel like I’m with good people. 🙏🏻
'The Devil is feeding off hate, so he gaining weight' what a great line from my man Black Thought.
Execellent lyricist...good catch
Black Thought is the GOAT.
Can you have a better than that.
I’ve come to the conclusion that this is the greatest tiny desk concert ever. Not only is the song itself deeply meaningful and important for the times were in currently but the performances from each member of the group seems so soulful. You can really see each member put their entire self into this performance. From quest to bilal to black thought and the entire brass section I mean it was really amazing to witness. Truly amazing
I agree.
I've been coming back to this set every week for a couple years now, there's something well and truly special about it.
Love is here !
I was rocking wit Mac Miller's "Tiny" being the TALLEST until Bilal graced this stage!
@@mamasnoopy4692 Me to
This was put together perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bilal and Black Thoughts killed it! The horns were Amazing! To do a song that has so Much Meaning in this way is Powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It Ain't Fair when Protector is your Predator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That Tuba player is laying down the foundation for real!!!!!! They Rocked That James Brown and the JB's joint!!!
Black thoughts is the most consistently conscious lyricist. i salute
Right up there with KRS-ONE
And Kendrick
@@marquaviskamarridottery6603 above all
Bilal just made me throw this wig straight at my tv !! Boy you betta sing
I listen to this at least once a day. Looking for JUSTICE and its JUST US
Lol!
I still can't believe how powerful this whole set was!!!! The roots and Bilal really brought that emotional energy with the music & vocals 💯✊
still rocking with this joint!!!!
you're right. entirely spot on.
It kills me how Bilal act like he didn't just tear the MF house down! 💪🏾 Goosebumps
Straight beast bro!
That performance was the embodiment of Rakims "i aint no joke" .
Like literally, no one could come after him when he finished that song that day. It wouldnt be fair, fr fr. ✊🏿
...Ok except maybe Prince, so in that case let me correct myself. No one LIVING could come after him when he finished...!
Why alllll the comments about Bilal? Message! Give the people what they want!
Not one drop of sweat
Keeping your cool is the black man’s burden
Man, I literally cried listening to "It Ain't Fair". It's like it was written for this present day. How many times is this going to repeat? How long do we have to live like this? Fear, anger, hatred, excuses, lies, cover-ups, fake sympathy, loss lives, no justice, no peace. Why? God have mercy and help us all.......
The present and the past are synomous
This was written to reflect the entirety of US history. Not just today.
I cried, screamed from the hurt 😢!!!! I looked in the mirror and saw all that cane before who were never afforded the opportunity to really live and be treated fair and with justice. It hurts!!!!! 😭😭😭
They brought in the all the happiness and joy with their intro and then - BAM! Hit me with a left hook. I was a mess also… tears of deep rooted sadness and dismay 😭😭😭
It's up to all of us to change society for the better of the many and not the few ✊
Amen!
This gives me chills no matter how many times I replay...lyrics, Bilals casually electric, gritty voice, the arrangement, the rap, the wind instruments...everything is perfect
Bilal is so underrated.
I
Love
This
Performance!!!
The roots and band brought the gasoline and Bilal set that shit on fire !!!
Thank god there are still artists out there who care about the art form and the message more than the money.
Trust me
Amen
The Roots are getting plenty money, overseas, where they actually like real music, or were before the tonight show gig. I'm from Philly, my brother who used to DJ saw Black Thought in a maroon Escalade in 1999 at 16th and Chestnut and Thought actually recorded a sound bite for him like "this is Black Thougt chilling with dj K-dub, we out here in Philly, love and peace" I think my brother ejaculated upon himself that very moment lmao. But they're real
@@paulwan215 I don't know what you're talking about lol
Paul Wanamaker they getting plenty money here too they play every where and let’s not forget they are on the Jimmy Fallon show as the house band
i’m always most amazed by the horn section
Love 😢
Hands down THEE best tiny desk concert! EVER!
This is one of the rawest horn sections I've ever heard. Dude Is killing that Tuba... "it's all about the tuba shawty"
*screaming internally at my desk*...because real screams are frowned upon.
Danielle Cox 😂😂😂😂😂👌🏿
YES! ME TOO. This is powerful.
Mrs. Stewart did you hear black thought lyrics... like damn, he don't miss.
Aakil Sharif He definitely didn't miss with this one.
On point, on time, on topic!
this is the i mean the very best tiny desk performance 🙃its jazz its blues its gridy hard hip-hop r&b it's Broadway its combine qust on the drum black though lyrics reality WOW!!!! AMAZING PERFORMANCE
This performance is so powerful. I saw this many times and still can't watch it without getting watery eyes. This must be Bilal's greatest performance, so precise in his expression and so hartfelt, it's amazing.
Been a while since I went to church, but Bilal just took me there.
Yes LAWD🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
That was a sermon
Bruh eat a snickers
This should be performed in churches and in protests. Instead we are getting many evangelical churches preaching a pro right authoritarian message. Especially Pentecostal churches. They are intentionally deceiving people.
Biläl hit something in my soul with those vocals!!! Made me want to run round the house!!!!!!!
Marcus Anderson You said something on that! This Session is so Dope
Two things to learn here. Look at how little drum kit Quest has, and how much he fills with it. More importantly, look how much space he leaves open!!!! It's a feel, not a music lesson. The One is a true thing, but when you can get even behind the One, that's not a music lesson. It's just SOUL!!!
There’s a point in this performance when Bilal started to glow slightly. He was tapping into his super powers. Amazing!
The hair is kind of in that shape!
gosh i frickin love Bilal so much
Sam McWilliams me too 🎷🎵🎶🎼📯📣
lutashi lumpkin Scrollin tv remote last nite.Stopped at JFallon.This ou s what I found LIVE!! Now...can't stop WATCHING video after video.THEY KILLED IT!!!

Bilal is that diamond world needs to apreciate a lil more
As Dr. Dre once said: “Bills is the most talented person I’ve I’ve worked with”. That’s saying a whoooole lot coming from Dre.
Bilal is a genius.
Quest AND Jeff Bradshaw AND Bilal AND Black Thought?? SOOOOOOOO much Black positive energy
