How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
You not the only one. Ever since he put that clip out when he started crying on stage, i get goosebumps every time i hear that song. Con is a real artist to paint the picture for us like he did. I felt like i was in the car with him...smh....The G.o.a.t
DMT MEDIA BROTHERS he writes in his head but it’s still writing. I think we all know what Josh meant when he said the writing was impeccable. He meant impeccable lyrics. Jay and Big are great songwriters and they also wrote without a pen. It’s just Semantics.
The Cow such a passionate track surprised he wasn’t in tears performing it that always happens he breaks down during that tune, boy has been through it
video watch R he got shot 3 times in the back of the head and neck when someone was gunning for someone else. Half his face is paralyzed. He had to learn how to walk, speak, eat, and rap all over again. He talks about it in The Cow.
I couldn't quite get into Conway before, must of been the wrong mood for the vibe when I tried listening before......but this is perfection. I'm a fan now, thanks for the music Conway.
The way he takes off his shades during "The Cow" just gave me chills. A man that seems so gangsta and hard from the outside showing his most vulnerable sides, both in the lyrics and literally by removing his shades that cover his face
It's a chicken joint called Sweet Chick in Long Island City, Queens and Nas is one of the owners. I live two blocks away and their food is really good.
Everybody talkin about The Cow but he went nutty on overdose... Jesus the technical aspect of this song was insane.. How he slithers in and out the flows.. Cadence.. Rhyme schemes...lord..
Machine! Never thought I'd see these universes collide. Over time Conway has proven he is the top boss of Griselda and now the whole Tiny Desk fan base knows it.
Wow! This was a powerful Tiny Desk session. The song "The Cow" describing how he got shot in the neck and in the face and how it partially paralyzed his face had me frozen. All I could say was "WOW"! No "so-called" hip-hop on the radio right now is touching NOTHING like this. Salute Tiny Desk for braving it up and opening the world of so many different facets of music, and the culture that they are embedded in.
@@vinothomas1193 Yup, if Griselda came out in the 90s they'd easily be among the all-time greats already. I still think they are, and it'll be more obvious in the future.
Going remote ain't do nothing but make TDC better, lol. Amazing, now I don't know if I like Benny or the Machine better now. Top shelf, thanks for this.

Rock 🪨 🎸
That's because yall love rap gossip more than hip hop music.
@CRASHxy Truer words have never been spoken sir!
Conway's performance of "The Cow" on this was one of the most heartfelt Tiny Desk moments I can remember since Mac performed "2009"
Watch their last Griselda Tour, the show in LA was so emotional. Hov had to pull him aside and console him. It was a heart-felt moment.
Listen I went to see Westside and Conway three years ago in Buffalo and to see him perform The Cow live was a hip hop moment for me
NPR: Bilal & The Roots
That Mac performance though, from the soul
It's unbelievable how The Cow still gives me chills like that.
You not the only one.

This is elite level Shakespearean rap. The writing is impeccable.
He dont write
DMT MEDIA BROTHERS he writes in his head but it’s still writing. I think we all know what Josh meant when he said the writing was impeccable. He meant impeccable lyrics. Jay and Big are great songwriters and they also wrote without a pen. It’s just Semantics.
He's reaching nas writing level
Yes it is truly unbelievable.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 its str8 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I could cry every time I hear "The Cow"
waitress brought conway lemonade during lemon.
i see what she did.
LEMON SQUEEZEEEEE LEMON SQUEEZEEE
oh...now i get it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@jaysonjoyce9708 LEMON SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZEE LEMON SQUEEEEEEEEZE ehahahah
Was he in Buffualo when he did this
The Cow such a passionate track surprised he wasn’t in tears performing it that always happens he breaks down during that tune, boy has been through it
He does cry singing that song live on stage.. Look it up.
@@FamilyRoyalty I think he is saying that lol
the fact that he put The Cow on this -- new fans need to know what this man overcame.
Tell us. What's the story.
video watch R he got shot 3 times in the back of the head and neck when someone was gunning for someone else. Half his face is paralyzed. He had to learn how to walk, speak, eat, and rap all over again. He talks about it in The Cow.
@@WhtMike2006 Thank you.
Top five verses all time for me.
Bro... thanks for this info. Honestly looking dude up and his history because of these comments and responses
NPR is flexing HARD with all these amazing Tiny Desk Concerts!!
Straight up, fam! Tell em holla at me. 🤷♂️
Bet!!!
JAEZUS Lives no
Bring back the live bands and stop the lip syncing tho
Yo your profile pic is dope my guy
I would have laughed a year ago if someone asked “Have you seen the Conway Tiny Desk Concert?”
Big up NPR, bless up Conway.
second verse on front lines verse of the year
I swear to God!
Facts
Thats right
And his verse on the Cow is verse of the last decade
Absolutely.
Overdose will forever be one of Conway's best song
I couldn't quite get into Conway before, must of been the wrong mood for the vibe when I tried listening before......but this is perfection.
I'm a fan now, thanks for the music Conway.
The man is unbelievable. Glad you came around!
@@tw7321word every one should
The way he takes off his shades during "The Cow" just gave me chills. A man that seems so gangsta and hard from the outside showing his most vulnerable sides, both in the lyrics and literally by removing his shades that cover his face
table service during the performance is low key fireeee!!!
HAHA high key!!!!
Big facts!!!
Got the scale and some yak
no cap
His attitude just adds to his persona and the story telling lyrics are just on another level .....
This man has become one of my favorite artists. His story is dope, tenacity incredible, and his bars outta this world. Beats and flow are some serious
Conway’s story is a testament type story. God Bless this man.
I put on my black Air Forces and durag just to watch this.
I should do the same
💪🏾🦾
JUX READY
😂😂
Slipped in to some Timbs to get in to this
The diner set is kinda cool actually
It's a chicken joint called Sweet Chick in Long Island City, Queens and Nas is one of the owners. I live two blocks away and their food is really good.
It’s in brooklyn too and Manhattan
70’s vibe
Everybody is food
It's a restaurant in NYC that's co-owned by Nas.
Conway The Machine pulled off the shades I felt that.
I still play "the cow" on heavy rotation . That verse hits different
My favorite track by him
So glad he performed Overdose - hands down my fav track by Conway. Flow is crazy
Conway the grimiest one in Griselda🔥
Yeah he next level
That second verse on Front Lines is 🔥🔥🔥
Dumb hard
The Cow... Still have the goosebumps from last year
Mad respect to Conway the Machine straight from Cle, OH
This man is so fire that his food was still hot after 13 minutes.
The Cow is my favourite song from Conway. Sends chills to the spine. Thanks NPR
I didn't know I was waking up to this today and I couldn't be happier
Everybody talkin about The Cow but he went nutty on overdose...
Jesus the technical aspect of this song was insane.. How he slithers in and out the flows.. Cadence.. Rhyme schemes...lord..
Thank you!
Can't wait until everything goes back to normal, man. Really wanna start going to shows.
You said that.
I’ve been lucky enough to see Griselda live twice. Absolutely incredible. I miss it so much
Conway the Machine.
The Cow, one of the best verses ever.
💋💘💟💓
Nas would be frozen in awe if he heard these bars.
Conway is the man. King to a god is fantastic
his timing on overdose is immaculate.
Overdose has been my favorite of his since it came out!! So hard
That's Jay-Z's favorite Conway joint too
@@WhtMike2006 didn't know that! That's great
We not talking bout the fact shorty brought him a lemonade!
I hope it was fresh squeeeeezed
Lemon squeeze 😂😂
Lemon squeeze lemon squeeze
When life gives you lemons.
yea just make sure it wasn't Machs Hard Lemonade.
Not sure why I've never heard this guy. Heading to apple music right now to get up-to-speed. 👌
Machine! Never thought I'd see these universes collide. Over time Conway has proven he is the top boss of Griselda and now the whole Tiny Desk fan base knows it.
Dang
BTS to Conway in just a few days.
NPR really knows their stuff.
don’t forget Oddisee
For real haha but such a good combination
I was looking for this comment. Huge BTS and Griselda fan. WE EATING!
@@DJHYDEHEART I love seeing people be open to different kinds of music especially in youtube comments where people are usually so elitist big ups man
Real chance for that crossover market
The Cow gives me goosebumps everytime it's such a great song
I love how the mic is positioned to his left to accommodate his injury
Not the best range though, he raps outside too often.
Was thinking the same thing
We need a Westside Gunn NPR
NPR employees boutta pull up with the bulletproof Hermès vest
I didn't know restaurants were still using scales to weigh our their portions.
Gotta scale for them macros bro
If you have to ask you ain’t bout that cuhh
@JewelRunner95 🎯

Conway you deserve this homie
Wow..The Cow! I could feel it. I almost shed a tear listening and watching him spit that

I wish this man would come to Texas when they’re back touring, this man is straight heat 🔥🔥
Love from the North East of England. Conway, you are a huge inspiration to me. You've helped me dig up my Masculinity dude. Keep up your GOOD work. X
Conway the Machine is a legend, Big Griselda!!! shoutout Benny The Butcher and Westsidegunn
Had to rock the Tims and fitted just to watch this!💎💎🔥🔥🔥
Conway might be one of the greatest of all time

Salute Tiny Desk for braving it up and opening the world of so many different facets of music, and the culture that they are embedded in.
Conway litterally has the best verses this year, he's not lying.
@AARVYY ahaha ew
This man save the boom bap!!!full respect from italy ...we need this bro
La Máquina! I hope the new fans deep dive into his Discography after hearing The Cow
I shed a tear everytime I hear The Cow
Conway OWNS his lane.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🇬🇧
The Cow, is my favorite track, from that album. I've listened and shed tears for my lost soldiers.
Yall dont know how good it felt when he finally sipped from his LEMON SQUEEEEZE LEMON SQUEEEEEEZE
*That digital scale had to be there! ⏲️ That Machine had to be there! Impeccable Skill.* 🙌🏾
*I wish you'd come to South Africa 🇿🇦 one day.* 🙏🏾
Havent even watched yet but The Cow/Anza back to back is gonna be incredible to watch
that cow performance is something you dont see or feel very often.
Thats a clean album cover right there!!
No weak links in Griselda’s Big 3 💯🔥 🦂
Don’t forget about Boldy
@@shlumpchrist3812 No doubt! Versace Tape pure fire but I was talking the original core...
This set up is EVERYBODY IS FOOD
ayo that performance of The Cow was beautiful man. shoutout to NPR for keeping their ear to the street.
That last verse on front lines is insane
Easily one of the best MCs of the last decade
Forget 10 years, Ever! He just came up in the wrong era. Imagine him in the 90’s??? 🤯This guy is the truth
@@vinothomas1193 Yup, if Griselda came out in the 90s they'd easily be among the all-time greats already. I still think they are, and it'll be more obvious in the future.
his flow on overdose is too cold
The dopest. Thanks npr
Griselda!!! Conway remind your soul what real hip hop sounds like.
How tf did I miss this by 2years. What a treat. ELITE RAP
😂😂
The real hip hop is over here 💥 💥 💥
@Kaptain Kid but ur still watchin this semi obscure man rn
Love Conway man
I see anything Griselda and I like.
The cow gives me goosebumps everytime
I don’t know who’s my favorite. All 3 are nice! 3 Kings!
Griselda records got me making random gun sounds at my 9 to 5. 😂
First time hearing The Cow... just wow.
Conway is so much more talented than I thought, when you see him perform the actual music
God flow on Anza. 🔥🔥🔥
Shut up everyone, the president's are singing
He tells it the best about the circumstances going on in Front Lines
The Cow still gives me goosebumps all over.
CONWAY LA MAQUINA
I’m blessed to be watching this. Thank you Griselda. Praise All.
What made him decide to do his Tiny Desk during his breakfast? 😂😂
Dude is having fun just like that.
The guy went hungry in childhood
Haha! It's a really good chicken joint in Queens and Nas is one of the owners.
Take it all in appreciate the art ✊🏾
thats chicken and waffles. technically a food u can eat any time
Going remote ain't do nothing but make TDC better, lol. Amazing, now I don't know if I like Benny or the Machine better now. Top shelf, thanks for this.
Ladies and gentlemen listen carefully because this right here is what they call a generational talent 🔥🔥.
Was not expecting to hear A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers sampled in this. Crazy production
I see Conway the Machine, I press like..
Love this dude. He's a walking miracle and the best in the game right now.
Best tiny desk yet.
