Hey Tiny Desk Fans, Check out NPR’s Black Stories, Black Truths - a collection of podcasts hosted by journalists who speak truth to power. Our voices are as varied, nuanced, and dynamic as the Black experience. And stories should never be about us without us. Listen now: www.npr.org/podcasts/510372/black-stories-black-truths
Wale's ability to fuse spoken word, solid lyricism, conscious, reflective rap, brilliant word-play, go-go, R&B and jazz is absolutely effortless. It's extremely wild that this man isn't more widely celebrated. He's definitely in the upper echelon of hiphop! This entire set was VIBESSS and Tre's voice is absolutely beautiful!
Always enjoyed Wale, but this is the perfect setting for his music. He's always had an "old jazz man" aesthetic to his music which is extremely rare now especially. That's what always made him so unique to me. He's easily one of the best artist that blew up in the 2010s. This was a delight. He is coma style slept on and it's sad, but I do genuinely feel like his music is going to around for decades to come, because it is timeless. The newest album is legit!
This is exactly how his music needs to be experienced. Sooo dope. He’s like a glass of whiskey, smooth and ages with time. Not for everyone but for us with refined palettes. He’s dope. So underrated. Ps- the singer sounds like a man-baby. Interesting voice. In a good way... I guess? Yes? No? It works. God bless him
I was in the room when this was filmed. This was one of the few shows that NPR sold tickets to, but the musician wasn't announced until you were there so it was a total surprise. Fun fact -- it was supposed to be someone else who canceled at the last minute so Wale was called in to play. I'm guessing he was going to do one anyway as they seemed quite ready for it (at least his band did, per his own comments), but he was in fact a last minute substitution. A handful of comments about all the 'white people' in the room and I'll confirm that's true. When they announced Wale it was like ~20% of the people in the room knew who he was at all, which I thought was hilarious. I knew Wale a bit, not a ton, but UCB was legendary so when I realized those guys were the band I was beyond stoked. Wale is a great performer but as you can tell here he didn't really feel the crowd, because most of them are the typical wealthy DC transplant who just thought it would be fun and expected it to be Taylor Swift or something like that. I also think he was out of his comfort zone a bit as the Tiny Desk setup is REALLY quiet. It has a good full sound but when you're there, and I was near the front, you can honestly hardly hear it so it's super impressive these guys can play so confidently given the volume. Just my two cents. Wale is great, this live vibe is way different than most of his albums, but getting a live rendition of CC White and Sexy Lady was priceless.
@@Poshgirl99 They did it only once in the Fall of 2019. In the era of covid I doubt it happens again any time soon as we were all pushed up next to each other, super close in. Outside of the few shows where they sold tickets (it was called "Tiny Desk Fest" if you wanna look it up), the crowd is normally just NPR employees and friends of the artist who may be around.
Man I’ve been rocking with Wale since the beginning of time. And I’ve been rocking with NPR for the past 2 years. This is monumental. My boy has been putting out classics and is super underrated. I also wanna add that he always has the most beautiful black women in his music videos.
That CC White broke my heart. I'm a D.C. area native like Wale and yeah - that white powder put a hurt on our city. That reference to Len Bias and gentrification at the end hit me square in my heart. I don't know if I'll ever return to D.C. - I know the houses I was raised in are well above my paygrade and always will be - but that song reminded me how much I love that city and how much it breaks my heart.
I've been saying that for years. I love that thinking. It's enough room for everyone. There a lots of people that are anti-black. Let's make sure we aren't!
I went to elementary School with Jerry on the Congo’s. He used to get in trouble for making beats on the lunch tables and desks in class. Now look at him 13:52
He's different live than on a track. He's. . .I can feel him, and it feels liberating. It's comfortable. It's like he's talking about things that I don't have the words for. It's genuine. I love him
Wale is the most slept on dude of his class. He deserves his spot with top dudes of his time...Drake, Kendrick, cole, WALE, than Big Sean!!!!! PG’s finest!!!
I honestly had no idea people didn't have Wale in that class until recently. I love cole and kendrick more, but he's been there since the beginning and was big before any of them.
That was exactly what I was thinking. Everything was so dope and perfect until the vocalist starting singing...I cringed. But even with that, his is one of my top 5 NPR tiny desk concerts...even better than Lizzo concert!!!!
@Mike w yes and no.. when I say biggest, I mean BIGGEST. Not just nationally, I mean worldwide. Like when he drops an album people should be going as crazy as they do when Drake, Cole or Kendrick does. Sadly, that doesn't happen. He's constantly overlooked.
@@FrenchCocoa369 as much as DC dudes Jone on each other, you calling him a fake fan, lol I think he's talking about the floral sweater, which was funny. Chill
NPR should’ve been invited Wale to come perform a tiny desk concert! Hey represents Washington, DC’s culture and artistry, he’s literally one of the only few rappers who can spit on topic from beginning to end on a track. Wale is Diamond. True Talent!
This guy and his talent are still so vastly underrated. His wordplay, metaphor usage and cadence is insane. I'm just mad I didn't realize they were having this concert at NPR. The latest album is pure fire too.
Yall hella disrespectful in the comments! Wale made a statement with who he picked in as his band, THE REAL DC knows ! Wale for the Culture , real live moe!
Lawd!! " the vibes, his music, they way he carry hisself, HE'S handsome, his lyrical meanings in all his songs and his voice is so smooth..☺😩 ITS A WHOLE VIBE. I wish I was there!! WALE 😍😍
If Cole did perform i would love to hear high for hours for knowledge seekers. She's mine part one and 2 cause thats just a beautiful song that make you wanna love your kids more and Love yours and all ya know ya bout that.
Young Olu is beyond gifted and I’m so glad he keep blessing his real fans bc who u know give y’all a decade of Decandant RAP!!! And the lead in with Tony Toné Tone that’s all I ask of you was Eargasmic 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I messed with this heavily but the background singer not to be rude or anything just didn’t bring the right vibes through for me/ aka EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS meaning that not everyone’s gonna think the same and this is a public platform with open comments so feel as you which about MY OPINION
If I had my way... 1) My Sweetie 2) The Breakup Song 3) Ambition 4) Pretty Girls 5) Running Back (not necessarily in this order just a few of my fav's). DIARY too cuz I be in my feelin's 😆
I pray I make it to a WALE concert before he leaves the scene...I've been a fan from as far back as I can remember. He's extremely underrated but I'll carry the fandom on my back alone. This man is hella talented!

Lighthouse maccabee And still never gave a f*ck!!! 🙏

Facts!
Why have people been hating on him?
Rebecca T. He used the word Akata
@@beckjeezy Because he went to Quince Orchard HS and tried to make it seem like he was from harder areas (PG County/SE/etc.)
@@beckjeezy they dont, hes just irrelevant
Top 5 EASILY. Wale has repped not only the DMV, but a whole culture. He's a LEGEND living. This Tiny Desk is mad epic.
Nourishing Noble ASMR Already! I’ve been waiting for this moment, yung!
NO CAP!!!!! DMV is here!!!

It's extremely wild that this man isn't more widely celebrated. He's definitely in the upper echelon of hiphop! This entire set was VIBESSS and Tre's voice is absolutely beautiful!
My favorite comment 😊
the whole sesh gave me chills; new-found respect for Wale's craft, and yet another example of why these NPR's are a blessing to music
I've watched this everyday for the past week!!! Love this fella
I’m so happy you found her I can’t even begin but you know
I enjoyed Ted's singing as well.
Always enjoyed Wale, but this is the perfect setting for his music. He's always had an "old jazz man" aesthetic to his music which is extremely rare now especially.

He should do a joint album w raheem devaughn
He’s a poet for sure
benjamin ramsey I always looked at it as a someone feeling like they're the only sane person on earth. Lol.
Hes really not that good or Jazzy, Mick Jenkins blows him out of the water with the jazz.
Tapanga Soul Okay?
This dude was built for this setting, looked so comfortable compared to a lot of other tiny desk performances, engaging with the crowd, amazing 👍🏽
Luke Isaacs this is a regular Wale show his performances are like this most of the time
This man should always be mentioned along with Cole and Kendrick when it comes to the greats in this era!
❤️🔥 🎵 🎙️
This is exactly how his music needs to be experienced. Sooo dope. He’s like a glass of whiskey, smooth and ages with time. Not for everyone but for us with refined palettes. He’s dope. So underrated.
Ps- the singer sounds like a man-baby. Interesting voice. In a good way... I guess? Yes? No? It works. God bless him
His voice is annoying.
Lisa H agreed with everything lol
Lisa H the man baby!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i instantly hated him..i also feel like wale training the bull..
Well said
😂😂😂 Man Baby
Wale’s buns are always neater than mine 🥴 s/o his hairstylist
Mrs Original94 I was just looking at that 🤣
Yes, always w/ the fresh retwist. Hair goals
I was thinking the same 😍
hahhaaaaaaaaaaa
His hair stay immaculate 😩
2 years later and still watching this. People gotta give him his flowers, the most underrated artist rn
Absolutely ✊🏾
i agree truly underrated. I love his joints with J. Cole
2024 here ❤
2024 here this is timelesss
Didn't believe it when I saw it, Wale at NPR Tiny Desk? 2020 is looking good. Next up....the elusive GOAT D'Angelo
I didn’t believe either bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah this is unbelievable but D'Angelo in this setting I'd cry through the first attempt at experiencing that tiny desk concert lolol.❤
You said it. Where is my man from Richmond?
Wale is one I’m gonna watch again and again
Boss thats the same thing I said!

what great feedback. that rich dc transplants are annoying IMO. I am from and live in the DMV.
I’m still trying to get tickets to these things, where do they announce these?☺️

Bring J. Cole up to the Tiny Desk 🗣‼️‼️
JpTV24 Agreed !!

Absolutely
He's got one!!
Wale, is one of the realest rappers with that poetic style. Thanks, to Wale, Common, and J. Cole for loving Black Women.
Wale is one of the greatest rappers of his generation or era.
No 🧢
I'll never understand how we can talk about conscious rap without mentioning Wale. "Sue Me" is an instant classic.
WALE is my LOVE language.
Sheena K I felt this in my soul. Me too sis me too
Yes Sheena...Mine too
Same
Yesssssss
Yes!
That band went so hard. Wale killed this performance.
Love the band!! I could just listen to the band all day.
Who else love these “Tiny Desk Concerts”😍
Listen to tiny desk concert every Sunday ✌️
They are EVERYTHING!!!💜💜💜
i adore them so much!!
Man I’ve been rocking with Wale since the beginning of time. And I’ve been rocking with NPR for the past 2 years. This is monumental. My boy has been putting out classics and is super underrated. I also wanna add that he always has the most beautiful black women in his music videos.
Long overdue
THIS! And the way he speaks about black women. I stan!!!
Yes
i love how he carry himself, so attractive.
Yes!!😍
Agreed 💯
That CC White broke my heart. I'm a D.C. area native like Wale and yeah - that white powder put a hurt on our city. That reference to Len Bias and gentrification at the end hit me square in my heart. I don't know if I'll ever return to D.C. - I know the houses I was raised in are well above my paygrade and always will be - but that song reminded me how much I love that city and how much it breaks my heart.
Rayful E and Marion berry
dcbandnerd facts I feel the same an Im from NE. One of my fav Wale songs
That Len Bias line brought tears.
dcbandnerd He was definitely intentional about that song and it’s so true! I’m from the Maryland as well.
Same here.
That man Wale snappedddddd. Pro black isn't anti-white. And I can do this all gahdamn night.
I've been saying that for years. I love that thinking. It's enough room for everyone.
There a lots of people that are anti-black. Let's make sure we aren't!
KlaKe09 what’s your Instagram?
I knew Wale, but I didn't...this is why I love NPR because it really allows one to SEE the artist and now I'm a new Wale fan....HE'S AWESOME.
Wale IS THE DEFINITION OF AN ARTIST BEING COMFORTABLE IN THEIR VIBE AND ART.....SO EFFORTLESS. true art !!!!!!!!
I went to elementary School with Jerry on the Congo’s. He used to get in trouble for making beats on the lunch tables and desks in class. Now look at him 13:52
oh wow , how cool .. his passion for music was always evident
love this !!
I need his contact
AWWWWW!!
those lunch table and classroom desks beats were fire. It was like your own gogo/concert in the middle of the school day.
his voice has the most perfect tone and cadence. like i don’t think anyone can say they don’t like it
"Sue me" is such a dope song..
rondejack my fave!
rondejack very 🔥🔥🔥
Was hoping it was here
so underrated man, this is the perfect setting for him. glad he finally did this.
He's different live than on a track. He's. . .I can feel him, and it feels liberating. It's comfortable. It's like he's talking about things that I don't have the words for. It's genuine. I love him
Man, he’s gonna get all the love he deserves when he’s gone.
Give him the roses now yo
C A S that was deep/dope/relevant
Man! that part!!! don't wait until he's gone
Factz 💯
What you said‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ appreciate this black king now!!!!
This man gets it now hun.... been getting since Flower Bomb.
Wale is the most slept on dude of his class. He deserves his spot with top dudes of his time...Drake, Kendrick, cole, WALE, than Big Sean!!!!! PG’s finest!!!
Don't compare Wale and Big Sean please. That's offensive.
Big Sean wouldn't be fit enough to lace man's shoes.
I honestly had no idea people didn't have Wale in that class until recently. I love cole and kendrick more, but he's been there since the beginning and was big before any of them.
Drake is more pop. Can’t hold to cole or wale
Poor Decisions
Nah
NPR can we get Wale back for another? Has released a couple amazing Albums since this, with a message that needs to be heard.
The fact that he
performed Sue Me in front of a group of hella white NPR employees is monumental. Go off Wale!
:)
@@reginasmith6276 I’m ok
@@wakefieldnoelle ah? What you mean I'm lost?
@@deborahpatton2789 he broke up UCB?

Right
That was exactly what I was thinking. Everything was so dope and perfect until the vocalist starting singing...I cringed. But even with that, his is one of my top 5 NPR tiny desk concerts...even better than Lizzo concert!!!!
Right that would have been really nice, I thought I was the only one.
That song is always a mood
Irvin Davids agreed
Wale is the Marvin Gaye of hip hop his music is so soulful.
“Sue me, I’m rooting for everybody that’s black.” 👊🏽💛
Always remember who you are ❤️
That track hard
Yeah, and it’s like that!
‘Song So Important To Culture’ ♥️🙏♥️
"Sue me, I'm rooting for everybody that's white" imagine yall would flip out for someone else to be proud of their color.

his confidence is contagious. made everyone in that room comfortable and receptive! It made everyone listening pay attention!

For being "unprepared" he created a whole vibe in that thing!! I loved the ambience, instruments, the improv. ❤
Young Olu is beyond gifted and I’m so glad he keep blessing his real fans bc who u know give y’all a decade of Decandant RAP!!! And the lead in with Tony Toné Tone that’s all I ask of you was Eargasmic 😍😍😍😍😍😍
The ambiance is EVERYTHING! Love Wale! He has his own individuality!
He's so important to the culture, Words and this concert cannot describe how much he's contributed to Hip-hop. crazy!
Wale is a boss..lyrical and smooth. Great music wonderful performance...the backup singer sounds great also, adds that zing to the vibe
Whatyou listening to is the sound of Washington DC Go-Go that's the vibe and it's always been
Wale is a full-blooded poet.
Americans like to complain and never satisfied.... This was amazing.... I really appreciated this
These is facts
Wale set up was the best one I seen so far, I'm loving it
I messed with this heavily but the background singer not to be rude or anything just didn’t bring the right vibes through for me/ aka EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS meaning that not everyone’s gonna think the same and this is a public platform with open comments so feel as you which about MY OPINION
I agree to flat doesn't ruin it but doesn't provide anything
Jason Harvey exactly
I heard his contribution very differently and was grateful for his addition.
John Christian Caldwell everyone has a different ear for things and to me it was just missing something
i agree. he needed a singer with a mellow voice but it was beautiful nonetheless
I would go to more hip hop concerts if they played with a live band
It really is a special vibe
WALE on another level. I truly believe he's ahead of his time. The industry don't respect the backpackers.
That Wale Ambition Album something else
It's Definitely A Classic
Wale in his element... WOW🙌🏾
How tf am I just finding this
Right
If I had my way... 1) My Sweetie 2) The Breakup Song 3) Ambition 4) Pretty Girls 5) Running Back (not necessarily in this order just a few of my fav's). DIARY too cuz I be in my feelin's 😆

Gamer Playpen still? That song is less than a year old lol.
Fish Bajan lol, when I like something I tend to overdo it 😎
Man, when he takes off his shades 🤪. Major eye candy. I love his vibe.. On chill.
His hair is beautiful.
Got literal goosebumps from this performance...He's so deserving of a Grammy!!
Wale always been super underrated in my book, bout time he gets his props. Salute to npr!
Wale been saying what we always needed to hear from time and it’s crazy
Wale is so soothing to look at and listen to.
that sweater is a whole MOOD
I pray I make it to a WALE concert before he leaves the scene...I've been a fan from as far back as I can remember. He's extremely underrated but I'll carry the fandom on my back alone. This man is hella talented!
