- 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.
July 8, 2020 | Bobby Carter - This was slated to be Roddy Ricch's summer. He was having the breakout moment that I've seen from so many other Compton emcees before him. The young man born Rodrick Moore Jr. snagged his first Grammy. He had multiple hit songs on the radio, including the biggest song in the world in "The Box," which spent 11 weeks at the top of Billboard's Hot 100 and will probably go down as the last pre-COVID club anthem. His live show refuted any doubts of his true musicianship and he was primed to touch every festival stage this season. No one could have anticipated in December how prophetic his debut album title - Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial - would be.
Roddy was originally booked to play the Tiny Desk in June, but once the cancellation of festival season was fully realized, he and his team began mapping out something special for our home series. He flexes his range from the beginning, playing a keyboard atop a desk at famed auto garage West Coast Customs in California. Backed by the juggernaut musical collective 1500 or Nothin', this set exhibits the many dimensions of Please Excuse Me..., from "Bacc Seat" (featuring an appearance from Ty Dolla $ign) to the stunning rework of "War Baby." Many factors have contributed to the dissolution of a 'normal' summer in 2020, but Roddy Ricch is determined to prove that it's still his time to shine.

"Bacc Seat" (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)

Thank you kind sir
I didn’t know Roddy played the keys and didn’t know Ty Dolla played the guitar. 👏🏾
He's been playing the guitar for so long
Oluwadara Akinlosotu facts he was an opener for chris brown’s last tour he did GREAT every time
At all
Ty Dolla $ also from a family musicians too, just finding that out
Ty$ also a producer
The drummer is having the time of his life
That energy is what is needed
No cap 😂😂😂
Which one lol
He on flick.. Brain party
Larrance be that guyyyyyyyy
My guy in the back ate up Roddy On that first “no more” 😭😭
Yes he did!
And he’s laughing with it 😀
He surely did 😅🙌🏽
Time?
Let’s take a moment to shout out Roddy for being a true musician. He has a great voice live and can play an instrument.
He needs no autotune
A pure talent
lol gr8 voice! ok
@@shoptalk7415 better than most of these mumble rappers mate
pure talent
I'm the only one who thinks it's much better to listen these songs with a live band than with a studio beat?
Nope. Agree 100%
In this case it is a very different experience.
no you are not
Considering that there are 7.8 billion people in the world, I don't think you are.
Yes
Am I the only one who thinks "War Baby " has not gotten the recognition it deserves
👇🏽
Best song on the album
Streets know
Facts bro 🙌🏽🔥
that song is a masterpiece
Lyricism is best on warbaby in the entire album
Nip would be so proud. 🙏🏽😭
The percussionist went crazyyyy on War Baby
Without a doubt
Most definitely and thank you for knowing the difference between a drummer and a percussionist 💯
@@mikec538 lol thank you; I am a percussionist but not much of a drummer so I totally get it
Yeah! He's Rance Dopson, he created 1500 or nothing and has worked with Jay-Z to Master P... He's insanely talented!
@@eighteencatss8600 so like I play drums but do percussionist know how to play like a full drum set
I still wanna see war baby performed with a full choir.
no ong that’d be heaven fr
I was aad bout that too
Facts💯
yes please
I thought i was alone
We are witnessing a legend in the making...
Its true but we need to protect Roddy at all costs bro.... we need him here
like they say all legends die young and he cannot be one of them 🥺 i refuse
Its Isatuu don’t even put that energy into the universe
Xen deadass we don't need that🤦🏾♀️
Already a legend just getting more recognition
We need a deluxe album that acoustic with 1500 😭
Roddy Ricch always sound sooo good with a live band😩😩😩😩
Every.Time
If Ty dolla sign is featured it’s always a hit. His features be going crazy
Can't agree more!
Was he actually playing that guitar? Had no idea he could play
@@awrebyawe One string guitar?
So true!!! Ty Dolla sign doesn't have a bad song in his catalog!! 🙌🏽💯
awrebyawe he played the guitar in Mac’s tribute on Tiny Desk
RODDY NEEDS LIVE BANDS PERMANENTLY, THE SOUND HITS WAY DIFFERENT... DRUMS SOUND SO MUCH BETTER THAN SOME TRAP TRACK
agreed
Right. Even sounded doper on the BET Awards live performance.
Especially because of his SINGING VOICE the live band compliments his voice!!!
Can we all just appreciate that smooth transition to Bacc seat please 😭
I like the part when Roddy said he likes to stay of the internet and not be bothered. Your life is more peaceful when you stay of the internet!
I am so excited and proud to see more young rappers playing their instruments...I had no idea.
Dewi Lew he wasn't playing that
That keyboard not even plugged in
theacebailey yes it is 😐😐😐
@@theacebailey yea it is
theacebailey it is
Buddy background singing did his thang
✌️
Roddy Ricch is one of the best performers I've ever seen. go watch his Audiomack concert with a live orchestra if you didn't yet. he's giving his songs so much more energy than they already have, this is stunning
Facts! The Audiomack joint brought me here!
@@bwar05 can see noiazz
roddy has already mastered his craft at such a young age, he sits near the top in this current trend of blending trap and r&b music
A boogie does that that why there a good duo also pnb rock does that too
EXACTLYY like its so unique! i feel like other artists may attempt to do this but his sound jus hit different. like when he come on you just KNOW thats Roddy
@@chillchannel8850 he sounds just Like super slimey but its 1 person 😂😂😂
Okay Dee cough* Future Clone? Cough*
0:05 - *Perfect Time*
[2:42] - *Bacc Seat*
[5:53 / 6:36] - *High Fashion*

Yuh

1M only!!! this is like top 5 NPR concert ever
Broooooo!!!
Fr
Man on the drums was feelin it especially during "War Baby"...and that guitar solo was mean like...hoo!
dude on the drums is nick smith a very phenomenal drummer
TH-cam User what?
TH-cam User don’t do my baby😕.
@TH-cam User shut up, no he isn't. get off his nuts
Tiny Desk? More like "reasonably sized auto repair shop"
Tiny garage
Yeah. Had to socially distance.
Tiny stage
😂😂😂
@@Elijahxrod 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥
Ty did his thing as wellll
Looking for this comment, I didnt realize that was him on the guitar until his verse
@@crownsociety757 YES SIR
After watching his trap orchestra performance, I knew npr was next
I've watch that Trap Orchestra set so many times. I wish he'd release that version for purchase. The trap orchestra version of Ballin' is my favorite 👐🏾 down.
AC III I liked it but found it irritating how he never finished his lines
@@FeltonHM i think artists like to hear their fans sing their songs. But I never really thought about that. Could see how that could bother some. I'm usually too busy singing lol.
most def
AC III no for real the Ballin one was somethin different i messed wit it heavy
So glad he performed Bacc Seat.
*My FaaaaaaaVE🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥❗️
It sounds absolutely lit here
To hard
can we really just talk about how fire the musicians are????? then lets give Roddy his props!!! omg I really enjoyed this so much!!! whole set is a bop and giving me life!!
It's 1500 or Nothin. Very famous band
they are fire 🔥
War Baby at 10:21 really hit different 💯
U r right
it’s crazy he played this without playing his biggest hit and it’s almost better than if he did
High fashion one of his biggest hits tho way better than ballin
Dameatis Brown the box is a way bigger song than ballin and high fashion
david hutchinson war baby is way better
Nick Gaschler facts
@@kh0357 thats not a opinon thats a fact its the best on the album
He should perform live like this always
I'd love to see Kendrick or J cole match this on tiny desk..
His voice control is unmatched 💯
I wish Nipsey Hussle could've did a tiny desk. 😭😭Next time y'all see greatness jump on it NPR!!
if nip was still alive hed be so proud rn
His Vevo is the closest we'll get
Its almost like we forget hip hop can be real music like this. Roddy one of the best performers out rn
i agree
who’s we
Speak foe yo self
JGUTTER34 Na i overstand the point you’re tryna make mentioning “gospel” but gospel literally Just all around came from blues & R&b/soul... they literally take chords & all, & tweak it by switching the lyrics & a very slight lil more .... listen to Bishop Paul S. Morton x Let it Rain .. & then listen to Prince x Purple Rain.... literally just ONE example a lot of ppl have No idea about lol
Hip hop is real music....see that’s the problem
3:48-4:03 4:37-4:48!! Those Neo Soul Chords / Vibes are 🔥
exquisite!!!!
2023 & I still visit this live performance often 🔥 Roddy really did what he had to do with that entire album
When the back up singers said “drop that a** to the flooor flooor flooor” I felt that
😂😂
I could only imagine you dropping it tothe floor at 5am! That I'm sure was dope
ReedTheTradesmen shooters shoot
In my soul!!
Me Slow twerking in the background
How many believe Roddy should record a live album?
I didn't know him like that, but have become a legit fan straight off his live stuff. Love his energy and vibe with the band.
Facts i always felt he sounds better live than on his produced work
Hip-hop would reach so many different audiences if people saw the RAW talent. You can tell he loves and appreciates the band and singers along side him. Real raw natural talent vibes. 😍😍
It’s the most popular form of music right now
❤❤❤
Hip-Hop is the most popular genre on Earth.
The goat talent
Soul music at its finest. That War Baby hit different this time.
That was best version of High Fashion I've ever heard
We gotta show some love to that guy back up singer 😭 he was going off on high fashion🔥
Right, his bsme Garren. Look him up, he got heat
so nobody gon' talk about ty's vocals?
I love musicians that are fully involved in the production of their music and Roddy clearly is because God knows how difficult live performances are for rappers
This is gold!!!!
Yasssss
I love how he always sings the songs differently when performing a concert
Such a fire performance. Only thing I wish he does more in his concerts is expressing his vocal range. In his songs, he loves to switch from low to high pitch, but in his performances it seems like he doesn’t really try to.
Yeah it's a lot easier to do that in the studio, you can comp together separate takes in different vocal ranges and get a really convincing performance that sounds like the person just sings like that anyways, but live it's hard for a singer hitting rap flows like he does to make those vocal changes so quick, so it's better to stay in the comfortable range instead of tryna push it.
Anton Doty and at concerts he uses a backtrack... so it’s not gonna sound as good to do new things with the backtrack still going on
Have you seen his BET Performance… Without a backtrack he can do a lot
I loved this upload but every time he dodged a high note, and there’s a lot of them, I felt dissapointed
Goranohan same here, i wonder if his vocals weren’t in shape? the trap orchestra he did a while back was something else, he can do alot live.
Roody is the only artist that has this same voice in real life and same voice in his recorded music ❣️
He is like one of the only rappers who can actually sing with no autotune
T pain
Trippie Redd
Rod Wave
Its autotune on his mic tho
@@meonly9977 i thought i heard it a lil too
There’s nothing better than Roddy performing with a live band. Shout out the band 1500 Or Nothin they did their thing as usual. Shout out to Garren (the male background singer) he’s so talented.
Yes he is
do you know his @ name by any chance? Ive been tryig to find him
Adaku O. His @ is just @Garren. He does his own music you should check it out
my dawg Garren be wildinnnngg
The amount of energy I have at 5 a.m. watching this
I was so surprised by this tiny desk concert, I didn't expect Roddy Ricch to use a live band this much and his vocals compliment it so well AHHHHH I love this!
MIght be a stretch but with roddy's talent i can see him performing in the Super Bowl
To be honest there is no bad song in the album..it deserve Grammy album of the year
On god. If the Grammys weren’t racist it would be.
@@roddyrodrigo420 this aged well
@@swaggyfrmda6574 lol even the Weeknd got snubbed
at least we have Jacob Collier nominated!
Grammy is commercial
Sooooo happy he did 'Bacc Seat.' A hoodmantic rap ballad gem.
Yes!!!!!
I like how you put that. Perfect description
Hoodmantic I fw that
Yessss
My new favorite song
Sad to see that nobody is really rocking with Roddy after one mediocre album but I still am! Feed The Streets 3 was fire!
That War Baby hit different 🔥❤️
This goes in the top 10 tiny desk for sure. If not better.
This the DOPEST one I've seen.. like a real concert!!🔥🔥🔥
So is this better than BDK?
You even watch gary clark or dermot Kennedy or anderson paak?
It’s raw asf 🔥
Umm no
Roddy will easily create longevity in the way he creates his music. Really takes time to make high quality music unlike majority of artist.
Facts quality over quantity
Can we talk about how FIRE "High Fashion" sounds live...
Also - Who is the background singer?? Like what!!!
background singer is t pain, other guitar player is ty dolla
His name is Garren.. he’s dope . Check him out on G-Perico - “lil baby”
Forreal! That's why I clicked because I wanted to hear it
FLAAAAMES. 🔥🔥🔥
The BackGround singer was fire 🔥
I would like this 10000 times if I could. This video deserves a Grammy and an Oscar. Roddy Ricch going down as a LA legend for life.
War Baby is one of the best rap song to ever be made but yall not ready for this convo yet.
Faccttsss!!!!
Ongggg
BIG FACTS 💯
A bL 3 headed goat?
I’m ready for that convo 🔥🔥
Dat “ War Baby” hit different with a live band. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Two years later, and this is still GOATED!
Play this on repeat, the live band sounds way better than the studio version.... Great album by the way !
Thought i was gonna save this for later to watch ended up caught in a vibe
hahaha same
@@angad10 SAME lol the vibe couldn't wait
Same, at 8am
Mannn can he perform the whole album start to finish😭that would genuinely bless my soul😂
When it’s better than the studio version...
me before watching: roddy ricch is cool
me after watching: roddy ricch IS A PROBLEM WOW THIS MAN IS LEADING THE NEW CLASS
Turning Up In Africa
Unpopular opinion: the girls didn’t need to sing background. Ol boi did his thang in the back by himself 🤷🏾♀️
What’s his name please (background singer)
yeah he did his thang
@@chelseaamangoua3273 @GARREN on IG
nah they ad a smooth layer
Nah you right low key did em dirty though😭😭
I still can’t get over how crazy the outro by the band was
I agree. That band is tough
One of the best tiny desk performances hands down
I like how Roddy let the back up singer sing his parts because he can really sing thats how you know they jamming.
Ty dolla sign....of course was bring the fire
I like how they played "dead presidents" on piano for "war baby" that was hard!!!!
Brooo I got goosebumps
Ace-T yes was definitely fire that sample also used by Mary j bilge
The audio levels on the band are just so crisp and clear and the vocals are always where they need to be. NPR you EQ gods
Perfect Time and War Baby always bring tears to my eyes.This is Hip Hop soul music
The Ty Dolla $ feature is only right 🔥
npr needs to credit him asap in the desc😭
I couldn't recognize him at first
I’m so glad he finally performed war baby
Real fans know it’s the best song on the album
This one of the best tiny deck no cap
roddy kills every live version. this and audiomack are brilliant
Lowkey, I enjoy live Roddy over recorded Roddy. No shade, but he has a great natural sound
We need more live performances from artists so we can really hear the real voices and they can express their talents more ❤️
He’s still performing with a bit of auto tune. It’s just very slight. You can really hear it on Ty Dolla
@Matthew It's true lol use your ears. like he said you can hear it more on ty's voice. also he was out of tune on the guitar a couple times.. not tryna hate or anything
Roddy is barely barely using any cuz even him talkin in the mic sounds normal but u heard it on ty in one part
Faccttss!! 🤍🤍
Matthew idk what you not hearing lol
I can’t listen to the album versions of these songs anymore 😢 these versions are perfection and just so beautiful 😍
Honestly
Yessssss Ty and Roddy they killed it together. Love this one
the drummer looks so happy it makes me happy
Roddy Ricch has entered the chat ladies and gentlemen. MAN, what a tinydesk performance! Amazing band
Is no one gonna talk about Ty Dolla sneaked in playing guitar like it was nothin 😂
Right!!!
It’s the drummers for meeee !!!!
drum set players were going OFF on wat baby
Burried deep in the comments but this is the black version of his orchestral set in LA. It was lit just like this one. I needed this early dis morn! Da da da Daaaa da!
Facts
facts is the gospel version we've needed even more. 1500 has been going ham since lupe circa 2007 they need some respect on their name!!
Top 5 Tiny Desk Concerts💎💎💎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Compton Tho💪🏾💪🏾✊🏽✊🏽
I just wish the vocals were louder 😭
We need more live bands in hip hop and r&b 🔥🔥🔥
Uhhh most R&B shows have bands. Who you going to see that didn’t have a band?
