People talking about his voice, must not know The Dream is a certified HIT MAKER. He’s written so many songs for the industry that it’s crazy. Put some respect on his name!
Dream is so slept on. not only can dude sing his ass off but his writing skills are 💯 i would love to work with him... his album Love Hate in 2005 is still a bop album...Nikki, Fast Car, Purple Kisses, so many good songs!!! i’m finna go listen to that album rn!
This has no autotune ok. But his voice doesn't rival any good singers. This is horrible. Lol. He should know his voice isn't made for an intimate session like this. He is a studio vocalist. This ain't it
Major respect for such an intimate and vulnerable performance. There were some hiccups and pitch accuracy issues, but even then you can't expect the voice to stay the same.
I think his talent as a singer-songwriter is completely underestimated. Even though he's a good composer behind hit songs such as Umbrella, Single Ladies, etc., he's also a great contemporary R&B singer. His 2007 debut album 'Love/Hate' is a masterpiece concept album, especially the song cycle from the 1st to the 6th track.
I always think of this friend of mine from middle school when I hear I Luv Your Girl. It's one of those special songs that remind me of a time. He would always sing along to it haha
NPR and Radio Killa! Any brotha that has the guts to tell another dude that he "loves his girl" is a man worth listening to! Keep killin' it! "The dream did it once again"!
I been rocking out to the dream since (96-98) he was on first song with raheem the dream call the most beautiful girl in the world. I love Terius music!!
I would really like to hear the Dream back on Tink Desk, but with a clearer voice and more songs that we all love. NPR please see if you can make that happen. Let’s give my man a do over.

lol but writing/producing and singing are totally different.
Straight facts!! Especially Beyoncé!
Exactly every R&B fuckboy got their style from him. From The Weeknd, PND, all of em. LOL
Jordan Bivins PERIOD!!!
Jordan Bivins he still sounded terrible
Never expected to see The Dream here😍😁😍
Nina Testman haha...right?
the tiny desk ain't no joke; they get the best talent!
I was thinking the same lol
Tiny desk is the realest vibe!!!
I was thinking but also hoping the same thing
"Lil mama so hooood, lil mama stay flyyyyyyy" I'll never get tired of this song...
I want my youth back 😭😂
man I fell in love with this girl that would play that every fucking day and I have a feeling the song itself played a part in that lmao
Never gets old. Lol
My very best club years had The Dream and T-Pain as the soundtrack 😆😆😆
I'll never tire of his voice 😍🥰
Facts lol
Wish the set was longer. He has a great catalog.
himynameisfeli he is so underrated!! I love him 😍
Including the hits he has created for other legends.
People who say catalog also call tv shows “programs”
Dude is straight making love to the keyboard lol and The Dreams voices amazing as usual ❤️
Lmao accurate af
He really was playing it seductive af
Aint he tho.... slow grinding it.
10 seconds in i was thinking the SAME THING....LIKE DAMN HE GRINDING HARD ON THAT CHAIR!!!!!!!!!
Lmaoo he truly is, tapping them keys
The Dream really is an R&B king. He may not have the strongest voice but he is pure fire. I have watched this Tiny Desk at least a hundred times.
This guy is the most underrated artist in music.
Only to the ignorant people that don't research fam.....but we get it!! This guy is that deal!!!
One of em
Yes!
“Fancy” would have been perfect for this set!
Sharra Gaston my favorite dream song
No idea why it didnt make this set tbh!!
it sholll would'vvvvvveeeeeeeeeee
Agreed, that and “Falsetto”
That part!
I'm upset he didn't do more songs, love his music. Make-Up Bag, Falsetto, and Shawty is a Ten should have been in the playlist. And backup singers.
Khari Khy-ree I was expecting to hear Shawty is a 10
because he left def jam records ,
We absolutely needed Falsetto 🎉
And even Umbrella even though Rihanna sang 😊😊
Dream is so slept on. not only can dude sing his ass off but his writing skills are 💯
i would love to work with him... his album Love Hate in 2005 is still a bop album...Nikki, Fast Car, Purple Kisses, so many good songs!!! i’m finna go listen to that album rn!
s m b x yup love and hate definitely is one of my favorite albums in general.
I been saying for years this dude so underrated it's crazy!
Facts
Yes and his on sooooo many artists albums without his name credited on the individual tracks, it’s crazy!
s m b x yes he is very slept on, but to say he can sing his ass off is a reach lol
Get me The Dream. The Dream? He wrote 'Umbrella' and 'Single Ladies'? You people haven't heard of The DREAM?
Julian Gee I see you are a person of culture.
Particle beam on the wrist, snake holster on the leg
Rick and Morty classic
Lol if your r&b ain't got some pop to it, ppl dont know it bro
I was ready for Falsetto lmfao
Ikr
So was I bro...
But I guess it would be difficult to do the vocals by himself
Exactly come back DREAM and sing falsetto
His voice wasn’t ready for that 😂
He was saving his voice for Beyonce albums.... o
0:02 bedroom
5:30 back in love
9:30 I love your girl
Joe Castro thank you
You saved my life 🤣🤣🤣I'm here for I love your girl .
Joe Castro good looking
Tyvm
Fisherman Freso 🙌🏾
One of the best songwriters of the modern era.
A PRODUCER. A WRITER. A LEGEND. A GENUIS. SINGLE LADIES. DANCE FOR YOU. 😭😭😭
Caira Lee What about SINGER though?🤣🤣😭
@@JassyjRobinson 👎
Ion care what he sound like I'm not gone let y'all disrespect this goat like that 💯 Put some RESPEK ON IT!!!
Exactly. Lames have no idea.
Lol naw he can’t sing.
he’s no Goat he look like one lol 😂😂
@@WolfeDaddy35 Definitely some hot doo doo. Plenty of hits but this dude should have brought his auto tune.
@@WolfeDaddy35 u crazy 😂 he sing better then Jeremih and omarion and ray j 💯💯
He should’ve gave us a lil more. His catalog is crazy 💯‼️
I can just tell he is someone who just genuinely enjoys making music and art. Those musicians/singers are the best!
I’m a few years late on seeing this but one thing about great music, it’s timeless. One of the greatest artist of our generation.
Called myself a Dream Fan but didn't know this existed until 30sec ago....flaw.... DOPE
I just want him to sing his catalog! Don’t sleep on Dream man
I miss the dream so much !!! you were so important to me back in 08, 09. You take me back and I miss y'all
You know you’re up early as hell when you catch a Tiny Desk upload
First to like this post🙋
true true
Or never went to sleep
@@himynameisfeli right
Timy Desk us the new thang
Damn the dream kicks ass with a live band, this is why I love tiny desk
Haha! I Love Your girl is ROCKING!
The Dream is so talented. I've been a fan of his work for years
One of my favorite artists. He can do no wrong in my eyes😍
The guy on the keys is giving me life...rolling his body and stroking those keys at the same time!!
Everybody hating on his singing is tripping, pure voice no autotone.
This has no autotune ok. But his voice doesn't rival any good singers. This is horrible. Lol. He should know his voice isn't made for an intimate session like this. He is a studio vocalist. This ain't it
That’s the problem his pure voice 😂😂
@@L.sabore 😂😂😂😂
@@L.sabore LOL
@@L.sabore He could never be T Pain.
I love that the horn section was reading their notes on actual paper. The nerd in me is proud.
Isn't brass section? Idk I was only in band for 3 years as a kid.
I noticed that too....Knowing how to read music is important
@@manuelb7255 The saxophone is a woodwind, so no, not brass.
One of the best song writers in the scene.
Exactly! Writer!
He's up there with greats
I’m glad to see Him doing well and vocals still right 😩🔥👏🏾
The greatest songwriter of the past 25 years
The Dream is just a different class...love this guy's music
“I’m sorry I’ve got it in for your girlfriend”❤️😭😭
This era of rap/r&b holds a special place in my heart.
Absolutely an ICON. Music runs through his veins.
when will invite the singer Musiq Soulchild?
Yaaasss!!!
I know right...he was made for this plus he kills live with a band
Musiq Soulchild, or Donell Jones 👌
You better know real Musiq!
Ikr!? Someone who can SING
He should come and sing black everything!!!!! He should also bring back up singers bc his arrangements are amazing!I love Dream 💃🏽💃🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Some back up vocals would have really made I Luv Yo Girl extra special!
O
Major respect for such an intimate and vulnerable performance. There were some hiccups and pitch accuracy issues, but even then you can't expect the voice to stay the same.
Can we get Maxwell?
U can get me.
I only wanna see it if he does something from UHS
Book me..pick me...me me me me
That would be super dope.
Yehhhhhssssss
Standing ovation for the band!!🎼
Every time NPR uploads a TDC, it's like a fastest finger first contest to the Like button... Much love y'all
I tried to say Fastest Finger First Five Times and got tongue tied 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@VictoriouslyShay I also just realized that my brain thinks it clearer than my mouth speaks it!
Frank Ocean come through man we need you on tiny desk
DEAR GOD PLEASE!
PLEASE!
Nah he can stay exactly wherever the fuck he is
They should really bring brent faiyaz , frank ocean, bryson tiller and kid cudi make it happen
OG_X_B they not ready for Brent
👏🏾👏🏾 yes for Brent Faiyaz! 😍
OG_X_B if they can get the jonas brothers they can get them easily
Shut up and enjoy the dream.
ungrateful
Keep Live Music Alive! 🎤
The Dream and the band were great 👍
Great way to start my Friday!
Dream still have that sweet ole voice
So dope LOS is on the keys. When the Dream and LOS get in the studio... Some of my favorite tracks are from these two.
One of the most underrated producers
Pure voice and sound
This man is one of the pioneers.
How did I miss this!
His last album is fire. Thx Tiny Desk....love this.
This was perfect. He sounded great and he did some of my faves. Literally listened to all of these songs a few times earlier today.
I just love him!! Voice is AMAZING!!! Tiny desk concerts are my FAV!
I think his talent as a singer-songwriter is completely underestimated. Even though he's a good composer behind hit songs such as Umbrella, Single Ladies, etc., he's also a great contemporary R&B singer.

you broke that down like dude in American psycho talkin bout Huey Lewis & the news
I didn’t know this existed till today 😢 one of my faves so underrated
The dream will always be my favorite from my childhood ❣️ looking forward to working w/ him one day 📌
Let's gOoo🔥
I wish his performance was longer. I definitely enjoyed it
One of the greatest R&B producers of all time 🔥🥴
The best songwriter in the game.
PERIOD.
He’s underrated def one the best r&b singers to ever touch a mic ! Early 2000s he had nothing but hits
Best writers! Not singers! Please don't disrespect real singers.
Memoriessss on the tracks of my mind. I played Purple Kisses on repeat for at least a month my sophomore year of college. 😩😂
He should've done "Fancy" - something to showcase his mesmerizing talent/musicianship and artistry.
OMG yes!!!! That would have been fun.
No cap rap
Shawty is a Teeyen!🙌
E Smith “Teeyen” lol. The accuracy.
My favorite RnB artist ✊🏾
Please put summer walker on ur show...😘
I'm waiting on Summer, Ari Lennox, and Brent Faiyaz!
She'd have to perform her entire discography to fill 15 minutes.
She has one. Just waiting on them the upload
@@083sharingan I laughed a lil to this. Love my girl though😊
They already recorded summers episode!!
This was 🔥 I love The-Dream. Fruition is one of my favorite songs ever. I want NPR to bring him back
What a shame he didn’t have back up singers...would’ve took this to the next level
or at least some dudes in the back going "ayyyy" which is a big part of many songs by the-dream
YAZZZ❣❣❣🍹
@@grizzabel LOL!
I did the back up for him 😁
on god woulda been crazy
Absolutely amazing. This is so good. I shared this with my sister & said , “whenever you’re with your man, play this on the background, …”
I do like this kind of music
Omg can't believe I'm just not seeing this I luv TheDream voice is so melodic🎶😌🙌🏾
I always think of this friend of mine from middle school when I hear I Luv Your Girl. It's one of those special songs that remind me of a time. He would always sing along to it haha
The-Dream has nothing to prove at this point in his career! He has done it ALL! Truly one of my favorite artist! ❤
Everyone speaking on his vocals clearly don’t know his sound....
Ryu Bey nah he doesn’t sound like this live
Facts love his everything ART
Back in love is a whole vibe 🖤
Nobody was gonna tell me this was on here😭😭
Wasn’t nobody gonna say nothing huh!? Smh
Right!!!
I just found out too!❤ jamming
That’s what I’m saying 🤷🏾♂️
His contributions on renaissance alone are nothing to be played with! Respect this man!
When R&B was at its peak
He's a talent for sure. But I wouldn't say r&b was at its peak.
We needed more than 13 minutes 😫
He sounds like he just woke up 😭😭😭 he still a 🐐 tho
Yeah one can hear he doesnt really practice that much like other big popstars and singers do. I wished he would but hes still amazing
I love The-Dream, he has written so many hits. Glad to see him here 👌🏿
Wow wakes up cleans crust from eyes.
I just screamed can’t believe I just found this. Been in love with him since middle school
Where the heck are the background singers *Patti LaBelle voice
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾exactly
Que-8 Driver haaaaa that was the best!!! He need background singers cuz he don’t sound good.
I was thinking that! He needs them lol don't @ me
hahah every time I think of that Patti labelle performance I just laugh
NPR and Radio Killa! Any brotha that has the guts to tell another dude that he "loves his girl" is a man worth listening to! Keep killin' it! "The dream did it once again"!
10:53 Me when my alarm goes off 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Go back to bed.
☠️☠️💤💤
😭😭
He really is a legend. One of my favorite vocalist of this time
As a single girl..its tough clicking on this at 2:30 am in the morning......but I'll be strong😏
I been rocking out to the dream since (96-98) he was on first song with raheem the dream call the most beautiful girl in the world. I love Terius music!!
Dream and his band lowkey couldn't wait to perform "Luv your girl" 😂🔥
His voice is simply sweet
Would have loved him to do Fruition as that’s one of the most underrated songs of the last few years.
he's such a great songwriter, he can do no wrong when it comes to music
Amazing! A modern rnb legend honestly
His voice is his trademark. FOH haters! I could name a long list of singers that have their own style that we rocked to.
I’m just waiting for jasmine sulavan if that how u spell it lol
Jazmine Sullivan 💞
She technically has one but it was when they did the special ones on location. I agree I would love see her back though
Yes!
She has one in the Barber shop.....1 song "stupid girls"....
You don’t have autocorrect? 😂
OMG this man needed way more time. Legend.
IDGAF, Dream is the king of RnB. Shout out to the keyboard player too, buddy was on it! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The Tiny Desk I didn’t know I needed but absolutely LOVED!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I would really like to hear the Dream back on Tink Desk, but with a clearer voice and more songs that we all love. NPR please see if you can make that happen. Let’s give my man a do over.
I literally screamed!!!!! Who expected The Dream to grace the screen
