Motivation has always been the leading message of Jeezy's career and he's never veered off the path. The Atlanta superstar stayed consistent with his Tiny Desk, focusing on the early chapters of his career and creating a story arc in between songs. "I was able to connect with my people and my culture because we spoke the same language," he explained before playing "Go Crazy." "I wanted to inspire and give people the blueprint, people who wanted more for themselves."
Jay "Jeezy" Jenkins' music could easily be taken at face value given the number of hits he's racked up over his two-decade career, but he made his target audience and intention clear through the titles of his Thug Motivation albums. He's taken his mission far beyond music, excelling as an investor and more recently an author. His memoir, Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe, made it to the New York Times bestseller list.
The Snowman enlisted Tiny Desk vet and bassist D. Hodge to assemble a band to breathe new life into selections from his catalog. The string section brought opulence to these gritty street anthems and features two familiar faces: viola player Lelia-Michelle Walker and NPR's own Ashley Pointer on violin. Jeezy dedicated "Everythang" from TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition to Pointer and showed plenty of love to the group of Howard University students in the crowd. This is Black History at its finest.

Facts
Band was legit!!!

Oh man the crowd made me feel bad for Jeezy he killed it🔥
I mean, i love the song, but i couldn't feel the vibe i felt when i first heard the song ,he didnt put the effort into standing ovation song performance , I felt like my homie was just rapping his song but no energy
I’m 32 and I can’t believe these kids ain’t turning up to this jeezy, the last wave of real rappers.
It's Girls in there nothing but ladies no kids in there
I'm 38!!!! I agree 👍 💯
Bro stop. We’re old now. 😢
Yea you are, but these young people are between 18-21, his first album is older than some of these kids, if you’re a true Jeezy day 1, why do you need his audience to hype you up, just enjoy him….Periodt!!!! I DID, Live and watching it back, his performance was all I needed to get me hyped, the crowd being hyped or not does not take away from this being an AMAZING TINY DESK CONCERT!
@@charlitawhitby6929 I’m 22 and know every song played.. I’m from the south and at one point he was played at every party I wasn’t supposed to be at
I could've carried the whole crowd word for word!!!! This is dealer music, this is a user music generation...

I remember seeing Jeezy live back in 2003-2005 and yall will never understand how this man music impacted the streets.
Had the streets in the headlock
Snowman T-shirts were EVERYWHEREEEEEE
I remember my first time ever driving through Atlanta and I tapped through 3 different radio stations that were all playing Jeezy at the same time

They in dc they wont feel it like the south would
The audience is killing me

Why??
They don't seem to know the words to his songs smh
Jeezy one of the greatest!! His music is timeless
That's cause his music was at a time when the artist was not built of popularity but instead real genuine talent ⛄💯
The piano killed go crazy!!
🫡💪🏾💯🙏🏾
Heavy chance of SNOW

That drummer killing it though!!!
Might be CJ Thompson... He's a beast!!!!
Fire the crowd please and thank you!! Cause this hit I’m over hot lit like I’m at the club.
NPR I would have called off of work to pull up to this. Man Jeezy deserved way more energy ….Big Snow!!!!⛄️
Facts!!
Facts. I've done that before and will do it again
!!!!
The tiny desk needs to open up these tiny desk invites to the real deal fans of thee performers...this audience doesn't appreciate how legendary this performance is...👏🏾
Correct
They not Jeezy fans that's why
He needed me in that audience!!!!
All his songs sound fire with live instrumentation. But Air Forces gave me goosebumps. Sheesh!
It was standin ovation for me then air forces
The band killed it and jeezy flowed so effortlessly over the beats
The performance was awesome! Jeezy definitely needed true fans there.
Yeah like the Juvenile fans. This crowd was 🗑️
Exactly! I'll be there next time, screaming word for word!
Mannnn Listen, the strings on , "Go Crazy". Indeed.
My boy Cj on the drums 💪🏾💪🏾
The crowd killed me 😤this was iconic and the band was 🔥🔥🔥Jeezy should have went to the trap and performed this in the hood …
He should’ve did the front porch with noochie
frfr
npr a bunch a white wanna be communist girls thinking they can relate to the black community by inviting jeezy to a bookstore.they woulda called the police if he was on their corner. this is a disgrace to trap music and music in general.mad and rn
The crowd is killing the energy!! Jeezy gonna get you up outta your seat every time. Idk what this crowd doing!!!! “Y’all too low” in Jeezy voice!!!!
I've never heard Jeezy like this. 🔥
Jeezy one of the last ones left,gave a goat sound as always🔥❤️🔥the band understood the element👌tiny desk yessir🤜
The drummer rocking!
He was playing too gentle for me. Everybody was. All the sounds needed to be fuller
Yea that’s cj Thompson he is from NC the homie he’s very dope and very high musical IQ ………..
so it’s a Tiny desk in a library they have to be quiet lol that’s the whole point to the other comment on here
@@joshw8854jwyou're right, but I didn't expect to realize that now. After all the tiny desk I've watched..
Jeezy music gets me amped, leaves me feeling positive and ready to take on the world.
Yesssssssss
The addition of the 'strings' is wonderful!!!
Jeezy please Redo this for all the people that really appreciate and rock out to your timeless music 30 years old and up forever a legend 💯💯💯
Omg I wish I was there for this ! These folks let my boy down man the energy could have been more authentic. Real fans needed for this. Forever the snowman! ⛄️ ❤❤🎉🎉
FACTS‼️‼️‼️ Crowd was dead 🤦🏾♂️
Yes, they dead as he🏒🏒
IKR! Dang, we should’ve been there.
Facts!! They ain't into it at all
The crowd was life support about flatline any minute.🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
The band bro...I have no words. Jeezy never fail!!!
He did that🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾 And the STRINGS 😍😍. The audience had a lackluster performance that put a damper on everything. I saw Jeezy in Dallas last Feb. It was a 30+ crowd… on a Sunday night. We out late and tired, but EVERYBODY was up and the entire arena was going word for word with Jeezy.
Standing ovation 👏
Yessir dats the hardest one
This needs a redo with a performance in Atlanta. Much better crowd which will give him proper flowers he deserves.
Trap or die with a live orchestra would be next level
This man played a huge roll in my upbringing. Take that as a positive or a negative… either way Jeezy is a forever legend ☃️!
THAT BAND THO! ITS A LUGHT CHANCE OF SNOW!
They need the 30s and up audience when jeezy came out that's all we played in our rides and it had the Midwest stl,mo Big Smow he needs a redo of this
Violins! He is rapping to violins. We add sparkle to everything. I love Black people.
Man Jeezy too underrated this deserves more views I’m mad. Y’all did amazing don’t put out your light yet you got some more runs YJ💯
NPR can you please release this as a live album!! The fans need this!!
One of the best Tiny Desk Performances to date, period 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾... and the audience did not give what was supposed to be given... BOO BOO *throws tomatoes at the crowd* 🍅🍅🍅 Jeezy needed a grown, OG crowd!
Michelle on the 🎻is a whole vibe. You can tell she loves her instrument
“Go crazy” sounded dope 🙌🏽🔥⛄️
yeah..but he forgot the words & i couldn’t watch anymore 😢
That was the one song I was hoping he’d do. It was always my favorite when this came out.
Yep I'm 35 these were my anthems... snowman ⛄️ the king!!!!!
The band along with his voice and flow! This is by far the best tiny desk! Been a fan since 04!
Give the drummer some love he on point
whole band having snowman shirts is cold tho
🤯 the street poetry is impeccable. Jeezy the 🐐
I wish he would release a tiny desk album on apple music and have these live performances as the singles
Jeezy is GOATED ⛄️
Can't ban the Snowman they needed me in that crowd.
The Band is Super🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Soon as I seen it was Jeezy I knew it was classic! They needed me in that crowd 💯
I wish I was there!! I love Jeezy so much!!
These Dope Boyz are from another planet before their time. This will be a classic, listen to the sound and his voice mix together perfectly.
I think he has had the best band than the other artists 🙌🏽
Comeback Midwest!!!!! We would never disrespect you like this😢
Hope he does i luv it, soul survivor
He didn’t
@@mearllee3511😂
Crushed his dream
That’s not on this album
@@dbrown3217not every song was
One of the best Tiny Desk I've seen so far.

They needed someone on adlibs…… yeesaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!! That’s rrriiiiighttttt!!!!!
I demand justice. That crowd ain’t deserving of this performance. Get some real Jeezy fans out there and record again.
Real musicians! Talented room!
All of Jeezy's songs are magical.
I’m wit it! Where my fellow aunties?
Jammm Session❤ Turn UP 💚 Jeezy 🥰 🔥🔥🔥 Tiny Desk 🔥🔥🔥

Jeezy, I love you, and I wish the crowd would've given you the flowers you deserve!!!!
Thank you. The best feeling is finding gems
Can’t ban the ⛄️. The strings on this were perfection.
Between President is black & Dreamin’ w Keyshia I wish this was longer!! 😢
All these years and this song still resonates so heavily. Impeccable.
Beautiful band. Beautiful man. Hero to the culture. The band was jamming and smiling and that made me happy as much as the messages in between. Jeezy deserves flowers but I hope every band member gets their due too
That Band is rocking out
This was great, but that Juvenile tiny desk still holds the top spot
Bravo 👏!!!!!! The symphony was an added bonus❤
Performance was crazy. I totally understand it was the crowd's first time hearing Trap Muzik and it shows
The violins omg 🔥🔥🔥
Throw away the ENTIRE crowd!!!!! 🙄
This band was so fire!! The drummer, pianist, bass guitar and those violinist all good with their instruments! But the drummer, man!!! I remember playing back in the day, had the church rocking. Lol
That go crazy go crazy. Insane 🔥🔥🔥 that live band is everything to that beat
