Tierras songs are so short and sweet she could do her entire discography in a tiny desk concert. Loved this, and I'm glad she's out and popping on NPR!
Funny I have the feeling that she might've been a solo act when she started, that's not a dig, I really like her stuff, maybe it was the shortness of the cuts or something but I wasn't super surprised when she said it.
Just was talking to my brother about how criminally underrated Whack World is during the NBA finals. Couldn’t have clicked on this faster, NPR did it again
Basically due to politics- They claim she’s stuck at her label, Interscope Records because she compares to Missy Elliot and they don’t want any overshadowing of Missy. Kinda of like how a lot of female artists were stuck with the labels on Beyoncé’s rise like the female artists before and around her DreamGirls era.
@@teahgurl @teahgurl ooohhhhh dang...thats wack! and yeah I can see the missy comparison andd howthe label may want to hold her bCK. I whole heartedly agree with your comment if thats how they been treating her smh! shes amazing for sure! and the music industry needs her!
Wack's always has been fire. Jaguar Wright talked about her and how she was blackballed and should have been a mega star. I feel the same but you can't keep someone like this down. Blessings to you,keep doing your thing Queen 💪🏾🙏🏾💜
i have wondered if her career has maybe been a little clipped by the format of a lot of her songs? they're often incredibly short, like 1:30. i can't think of anyone in pop music making songs and albums in the style she does. she is a fantastic artist.
@@ansyinciaI'm here because of the comment Jaguar made. The video I saw was on RealLyfe Productions. The video was cut from the original video. But, the title was "Jaguar Destorys Jill Scott" watch at the time mark 10:48. I'm glad she brought Whack up, never head of her but, her music is true and original and GOOD❤️❤️.
So underrated!!! Lyrically, Whack is so witty, nuanced & amazing. Thematically - she’s bringing depth, complexity & levity. 🔥Instrumentally - her tracks are so fun, juicy & dope. She’s so real. Give this woman her flowers 💐
She is a beacon! I hope you check out her albums. Beyoncé even shouts her out in Break My Soul remix. Whack did work on The Gift & one of my favs is her verse on Flying Lotus’ song Yellow Belly.
I Stan for Tierra! I love her out the box creativity, penmanship, how she plays between rapping and singing. Lyrical content and her storytelling is out of this world. ✨
I adore her so much! Not only is she a true talent, but her music really touches these hard-to-communicate feelings and makes me feel seen and less alone. Love you Tierra!! Thank you 💜💜💜
i've never clicked on a tiny desk notification fasterrrrr 😭i've been a fan of her's since she released whack world! she's been crazy underrated but im so glad i got to hear her perform some of my favourites here
Philly stand up! Thank you Tiny Desk. Sis love the notebook shirt. The classroom band being silly 🥰 First time with a live band!? Couldn’t tell, they all sounded great together.
I am grateful for finding this artist. Her music is so refreshing, funny, funky, honest, fun and an overall good vibe. Not many artist I can listen to each and every song in a whole. She’s so underrated and I think better than like 80% of the most popping artists out. She can actually rap and sing and writes her own stuff !!! I’m such a huge fan !!
I’m feeling this! As a Philly native this is on point! I didn’t know she was from Philly until the Fanatic showed up but I instantly connected with the feel!
So underrated, my daughter put me onto her music and I loved it instantly, such a raw & creative talent, we need more of her out there!! Absolute greatness! 🔥🔥
Glad I got to see Tierra Whack on Tiny Desk! Her live performances are amazing! And who knew the Fanatic had soul (and could fit behind the Tiny Desk with everyone else)? Well done!
Never heard of her and so glad I did! Music & lyrics on point and love to hear unique artist not just talking about cash, clothes & cars! New fan on board, thx!
one of the best female rappers out right now and one of my favorites. I love seeing her win and pray she continues to get the recognition she deserves!!! she surpasses most of the female rappers out right now!
I love how goofy she is. Such a fun, different sound - and the school classroom stage vibe cracked me up!
kinda dorky, but solid tunes.
I hope Quinta Brunson is listening to Her! Abbott Elementary should have a performance special!❤
I love Tierra! She's a QUIRKY and LOVELY talent! May she get her flowers! 💐💐💐💐💐💐
@@RobertSloververy dorky and that’s okay. Being dorky is fun.
Goofy gang goooo!! Ayyye
The white shirts, school uniforms, the paper shirt w/writing. The paper being thrown 😩📝 I love it ALLL! Especially as a teacher ♥️
hi
Thank you I designed it!!

It's pronounced "Medley"🎵🎶🎵

hi
I can’t believe this is her first time with a live band! She’s so talented she look like she does this all the time😍
She and her band are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Funny I have the feeling that she might've been a solo act when she started, that's not a dig, I really like her stuff, maybe it was the shortness of the cuts or something but I wasn't super surprised when she said it.
@@TiqueO6She’s still a solo act & a lot of her songs from her 1st album were 1 minute-long songs hence the “short cuts”
hi
I love Tierra’s silliness, creativity, and uniqueness with her music.
Just was talking to my brother about how criminally underrated Whack World is during the NBA finals. Couldn’t have clicked on this faster, NPR did it again
This is my first experiencing any of Tierra Whack's music and I am overly impressed!! (I'm 52yrs old)
She is incredible, I hope you will check out the ~15 min Whack World video from 2018
I'm right there with you at 51. She's refreshing & I love it.
"Flea Market" one of my favorite songs ❤
66 here & LOVING HER
Music knows no age.... I'm 74 and LOVN' this!!!
Tierra Whack holds a very special place in my heart. I love her so much.
Me too❤
"27 Club" is unbelievable live.
It's even better live in my opinion ❤

The Phillie Phanatic randomly dancing is such a mood, I love it. 😂
A single demerit against The Phanatic for not knocking that guys Yankees cap off though. 😆
At first I said why - and then I said, why not? He's groovin'!

Thank you NPR for still acknowledging Black Music Month and adding Tierra Whack to the lineup! ❤✊🏿🎶🎉💫
NPR has been "acknowledging Black Music Month" for a while now.....welcome to the club man!
NPR is just putting overtime in at this point! Tierra Whack!!!!!!!!!
That chicken alfredo pop-tart couldn't even mess up this performance. ✨️🌠
Love you Whack.
Right! cuz the way I woulda had to excuse myself 😅
I just smiled throughout the whole video! Her artistry is refreshing. Ms. Whack is such a joyful vibe!
That band looks like there are so many untold stories that will have your head hurting from laughing! Love Ms Whack!!!!!!!!
We need to stop the sabotage and support Tierra. She is amazing ❤
who is sabatoging her> what did she do? I think shes amazing!!

OMG!! Thank you NPR This version of Hungry Hippo just sent me to heaven!!!!
This is what it looks like when you don’t let your inner child die. Super fun, creative, and whacky! Made me smile! 😂
7:55 MS BEHAVE with the band oooooooo it just scratches my brain so right🥴
The creativeness from her is just really inspiring . It’s so different but you can clearly see her vision.
The band is soo nice ohmygod pls DO go on tour

can you let us know date of video Jag talked about this? i’ve been hearing a lot about this woman, especially when it comes to Jay Z or P. Diddy.

She’s got that unique and fun personality like yatchy she def should be bigger
The number of times I screamed "YESSSSSS" during this
This was an amazing tiny desk performance! Longtime overdue.
I love her enthusiasm for the art!

It's so trippy that she started with Flea Market cause that's the song that played in my head when I saw the notification!
i was shpcked for a moment too lol
I wish she would've did Child Please... That's would've been great
LOVE The Energy! Great Music! Thank you WHACK! All The Way From South Africa!!!!!
I've never heard her before today. I love her uniqueness. ❤
Coachella YT streams turned me onto her a few years ago. Those pandemic lockdown days made for some very interesting finds.
She is a beacon! I hope you check out her albums. Beyoncé even shouts her out in Break My Soul remix. Whack did work on The Gift & one of my favs is her verse on Flying Lotus’ song Yellow Belly.
You're in for a treat!!!! Check out her 20 minute video album on youtube. Whack World
Please check her out
Glad you found her.
If Tierra has zero fans then I am dead! I love you Ms Whack!
I have never heard of her before she has somehow just become one of my FAVORITE people/artist lol...This is the POWER of Tiny Desk! THANK YOU TD!
check out her A Colors Show performance of "Unemployed" -- so good!
Whack has a unique voice. WOOHOO Philly!!!! We love Philly!
I Literally Screamed When I Saw This Pop Up !!! WHACK WORLD !!! 💛💛💛

Been waiting on this since she did that amazing video project with mini-videos of her album. You the one T!
You did that sis!!!

Tierra 'no skips' Whack
This was amazing, I like the noise parts lol I like how the band participated in the fun so they didn't just look like they were on a "gig"
Band is tight, and Tierra's so musically clever. Love it.
Yessssss! Black music month has been DELIVERING.
I'm SOOOOOOO proud of you Queen....you had me at Mumbo Jumbo!!! Keep up the great work!
Whack with a live band is out of this world✈️🌍
Young lady on the keys is so fine…sheeeeeeeesh lol.
Mary Floyd, I love that Tiny Desk cites the musicians. Feels like reading the album jacket in my bedroom.
@@mickjen agreed. But most people wouldn’t know who I was referring to if I mentioned her by name.
