TH1RT3EN: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2021
- 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.
Abby O'Neill | January 18, 2021
TH1RT3EN, an irreverent and inflammatory new trio conceived by hip-hop star and lyrical savage Pharoahe Monch, has been in the works for five years. Co-conspirators include Daru Jones, a monster on the drums best known for his work with Jack White, and guitar mercenary Marcus Machado. Both the moniker and supergroup were born out of a frustration with the veneer of American society that underestimates the darkness of white supremacy.
"I knew 5 years ago where we headed," Monch shared over the phone. "Sure, we've always done socially and politically aware music, but I'm tired of this "love will win" nonsense. Love may be the most powerful vibrating force, but consciousness is spreading and it's impossible not to be more aware of the evil that has kept the world in complete darkness. TH1RT3EN is the musical personification of me and my comrades at combat."
Shot in a padded "panic" room, this Tiny Desk (home) concert reflects the rage felt by this three-man battalion of rhythm and verbal artillery, shattering genre boundaries in the process. While TH1RT3EN recorded this set in August 2020, as evidenced by Monch's interlude, this four-song set still channels the discontent outside our windows today.

You are and always will be one of the best lyricist to ever be. Thank you for the performance.
Some quality Blues poetry right here bro, been listening to you since the 90's you just keep getting better!
Can we cuddle?
Totally blown away! There is such a passion in what I just heard, great stuff!
Incredible, absolutely Incredible!! and to think this is a contained energy, wait till this pandemic is over n we can pack stadiums to see you cats perform this, SHEESHHH!!!

Word
DARU JONES~~~ drummer of past year, this year, and the next ones !!! I love this band so much 💪✨❤️🔥✊
I've missed hearing Pharoahe. Not only one of the illest multi syllabic rhymers but he has the best rap hand gestures
This album is my introduction to Pharoahe Monch's music and boy am I glad to have come across this album.
Check his stuff with Organized Konfusion and his earlier solo albums. All great stuff.
I cannot listen to a new Pharoahe Monch song and do anything else effectively. The way he puts words together will make me stop everything to try and comprehend it. Hands down may favorite artist.

Gracias buen hombre ✌🏻
✊✊✊
This is the best tiny desk concert ever made.
If this was in the TD offices, things would have popped OFF.
Wow. Just Wow. Black rockers birthed out of hip-hop narrating the current political landscape done so well! Salute Pharaoah and the guys, Salute Tiny Desk!
Really feeling Daru's approach to drumming🔥
I felt like I was in an art museum and the art work was coming to life. You have to watch the drummer, especially during 'Cult 45". THIS IS F'N ART!!!
From Organized Konfusion to his solo outings ,into this new band Monch has always been one of the best rappers in the universe.
Daru Jones is crazy on the drums man🔥🔥
He puts on a show man 🔥🔥
Aye, and the way hes playing is strangely genius.
If your top 10 doesn’t include Pharaoh Monch, you’ve f***ed up.
100 percent facts
Crazy that OK, Monch's solos and now this are so different yet all fire.
i just said this in a conversation a week ago.🔥🤯💯
He's easily number 3 for me.
@@adammchugh5456 z
The energy in this is INSANE!!! go bros!
Pharoahe is one of the best emcees to ever touch the mic.
Along with everything else (which is all amazing) I am mesmerized by that dudes drum style. Wish I could just get a straight cam of him and his unorthodox setup and play style. Love it.
Im convinced its all for show, which in turn makes me not like it. Being different just to be different is weak.
Search daru Jones. He had a drum cam for a Jack white gig.
@@cbt103 Ive been a fan of his for year but it still isnt practical
It’s like playing on the streets with pain containers. AKA Broke people’s drumming
@@ToluRobertson its always so interesting to see non geniuses people have comments on people who level of existence you could never understand. But ya know keep doin what you doin, cus I am not sure hes super concerned, he seems a lil preoccupied...🤷🏾♀️😏🙌🏾
This is the vibe my soul needed on this mediocre Monday Evening.
Evening? What time is it where you are?
or mornin:)
@@bongekandwandwe5205 probably in australia🤷🏽♀️
I was confused😅 it's 12:47 midday here
@@bongekandwandwe5205 oh where are u? Same as here
The mighty Pharoahe is your favorite rapper's favorite MC. Period. Other rappers are going to start wearing TH1RT3EN pajamas.
Word.
That’s not gonna keep them cozy enough.
Pharoahe creating meaningful lyrical soulful music for 30+ years!!!
Pharoahe's an alien disguised as one of the dopest rappers on the planet.
Don’t do him like that! He is a Black man
This is a powerful and intense performance. I am glad to have NPR have the balls to put this out there for us all to experience. I really love seeing Pharoah spitting fire over live instrumentation! Thank you all!!!
His craft is perfected beyond most ! Crazy lyrics , crazy breath control ! He wasn't even out of breath as he spoke after the first joint ! Dag ! Incredible performance by an incredible M.C !!
Bear in mind he has that bad asthma! 😭 Pharoahe is king!! 🔥🔥🔥
@@tumelophenya7035 l Never would have known Monch has asthma ! His breath control is flawless especially with those complex clusters of clever syllables ! One of the best in the entire 🌎 world ! RESPECT !
@@WizeOwl764 💯🔥 he has his craft down to the last detail!
Tiny Desk features the artists we NEED to hear
In a hospital bed. Healing to th1rt3en. From album. To RUclips. And Tiny Desk. The sonic cleansing is everywhere. 🔥
It's 5am in South Carolina. Too early to be jam'n to a Tiny Desk Concert? Nah.😏
Finally got this album this week and my face melted off. Monch is and always has been incredible. Fan since 91.
Pharoahe been my dude since the first time I heard Releasing Hypnotical Gasses...
And Prisoners of War. That whole album in fact might be the best ever recorded..not sure what beats it.. maybe only Illmatic matches it’s magic and artistry
@@ghostshipone His verse on POW might be my favorite Pharoahe verse ever!
@@BBell777 you have good taste.. I can’t believe there’s not more like us..
For me it was that verse in Bring it On
That song blew my mind then and now.
This is definitely about to be my new favorite album!
OMG!!!! PHAROAHE!!! We definitely getting that Th1r3en Album Friday 22nd 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was absolutely incredible! When a music project gives you goosebumps because of both the music and the message, you know it’s good!
Wow pm... I am speechless. Legendary performance by the three of you. I’m very grateful and proud yet again. Bravo
It makes me happy to read all the appreciative comments. Music intense, Lyricism off the charts. Rap is alive and well. Thank you Th1rt3en.
This is DOPE!!!! I'm amazed how lyricist like Pharoahe, Black Thought, DeLaSoul just get better as they age. So dope! I'm going to apple music after this.
Don't forget about Tek N9NE and Kris Kallico...
I concur
i didnt know the group. Now i love them
Absolutely the most disgusting rhymer to ever put pen to pad. Monch is, and always has been the GOAT and the only reason he's not mentioned more is because it would be redundant. Water is wet, fire is hot, Monch is God mc.
zactlee
Water's not wet
I agree
@@berend3451 alright bill nye
Yes, but also because people are d riders, especially industry people.
Had me in the first 10 seconds 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
I stumbled across good music on accident.
How amazing was this. Daru. Marcus. Monch. Holy smokes.
Pharoahe Monch wrote the single greatest lyrical line of all time: "Im intellectual, pass more essays than motorcade police parades through east L.A"
The speech on the lad!
You cats are 🔥🔥🔥 LOVED IT!!!
Much love!!! ✌
This is exactly what the music industry needed
Love you guys!!
✊🏾
Hes been the best ever.
for decades now.
I love how he's as animated as his rhymes are intricately written. Phenomenal all around. So glad I got to see him live a few years ago.
This is such a phenomenal performance. It was a blessing to see Monch perform at the Kennedy Center just before the pandemic. I will cherish that moment forever!
Phenomenal! I’m loving everything about you! Great performance. Great message. Great music! I’m rocking out this Monday morning! Where have you been all my life? 🤦🏾♀️
This is one of the best Tiny desk, God this is great Gods and G’s.
Scarecrow joint 🔥🔥🔥
Im the producer of that joint, glad you're diggin it, salute!!!
Love it My Primo Marcus Machado on guitar , excellente !
Grateful yall 3 brothas found each other to channel this emotion to music!!
Music feels like the times...this is super necessary!
WOW! I have just been introduced to these GENIUS BADASSES!!! I will go listen to the entire album now. Thank you so much!
Love it all, but...that “Scarecrow” is FREAKIN’ DA’ TRUTH!...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I produced that track so seeing this made my day. Salute!!!
@@ShylowTheGrey 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤦🏾♀️

I so love this . It's the best thing I've seen in a long while

O my God ……! An international world tour is absolutly necessary once it will be possible !!
SuperMonch 4 ever

One love 🌝🌍🌚
Pharoahe has always been one of the dopest doing this - his cadence is absolutely on another level!
Perfect Monday release with this 🔥performance. Heads up America you got this ✊🏾
I've always liked Pharaoh since back in the day! he was one of the only dudes to use lots of melodies in his raps even attempt to sing but in a very unique way. This ensemble compliments his style so well! the musicians he got weave so organically it's so calculated just pure artistry! i know people are feeling this cuz it's REAL.
Th3rteen rocks so hard! Thank you npr tiny desk for the introduction! ❣
Sick video...major kutos to the crew who shot it this is insane!!
The best thing I’ve seen all year
Been down with Pharaoh since he was part of organized konfusion
Fudge Pudge! 💯
@@TheRealNativeSun I even sent my college lecturer a few of their songs(organized konfusion). He said we should do Things that will help us with the english language like reading and certain movies, poetry and so on, then I mentioned underground hip hop and he was like no and I asked can I send you a few and the following week when I saw him again he told me he never knew about this type of music. I told him underground is educational in everyday life.
Pure Genius.
Iconic.
Queen NY, STAND UP💪🏽
Virtuoso lyric to beat/music gels well. Congratulations Th1rt3en. Power trio.
GOD!... DYAAAAMN!.... Man just what I needed to 2021... Pharoah Monch. 🔥🔥
This Album is beyond GENIUS🔥🔥🔥 The music., the lyrics., the guitar riffs., the roaring bass lines., the production alone!!! Thank you Thirteen 💯
Much love and fire to these guys right here! Shout out when your passing through England next - we'd love to play a set or two with you

Freaking awesome performance!! Hope to see you guys perform live some day soon! Great sound on all 3of you! ❤️
Fire!!! Encore...please!
I see Daru Jones, I click immediately
Amen
Me too
yessss. pure energy! love it.
Griot. Lyricism Matters... Black musicianship does too. So many layers and nuances to unpack-Definitely gonna have to watch twice. This was immersive. Beautifully done fellas 👏🏾🖤✨
he is like a griot! i get a very cool african-poet/post-industrial-bluesman vibe from this
Thank you for this splendid moment and your speech is great, I am listening to You attentively from France a very nice discovery take care
Whoa- Didn't know what I was in for.
Now a big fan!
Awesome brothers love the setup drummer
I always think that just rapping with a drum like Monch does at the beginning is the best way to show that you have real skills. Crazy style
My man Monch. I lost my brother early in the Pandemic. I already walked the thin line between funtionality and depression, and I struggled to find a silver lining in a world of darkness. In my darkest moments, the album PTSD was like a reminder I was not alone. I still struggle, I cry and some days I see myself giving up... but Im stronger in the battle. Your music is a beacon. Peace.
Thank you! This is brilliant my friend!! Bravo!!!
I never commented on youtube but you guys came out of no where like a breath of fresh air amazing
i could listen to this session all day, love it!
sick... saw Pharoahe Monch live here in Auckland quite a few years ago and he was amazing!
Powerful Pharoahe Monch is a blueprint Emcee salute .. Daru Jones has an amazing style..
Favorite drummer, guitarist is amazing. Let's not forget how on point the singing is also hooks with the weird magical feel, he spits pure fuego!!
THE WAY I NEEDED THIS!!!!! MY GUUUYYSSS!!!!!
