Lyfe Jennings Reveals He Was Told He’s Not ‘Big Enough’ For Tiny Desk

[Harry B]

You people just believe any rapper/rnb singer when he's on some hateraid, tell him to show receipts
What's annoying is that he doesn't even know Tiny Desk enough to understand that it's meant for small indie artists, it even got criticized for being too niche/hipster/brooklyn for years.

 

[MoneyBags]

This nikka couldn’t sing anyway WTF?

 

[Budda]

Yall really playing in this man’s face

The booth knows little about R&B.

 

[Budda]

He's not. But I think he's lying.

Dude has a history of making up sh*t and lighting sh*t on fire. Pyromaniac ass bum.

He is but this a funny post

 

[Groundworks]

They must not understand that a thug has feelings too.

 

[mson]

Man i remember watching him on Apollo when he was unsigned and was singing songs that ended up being some of the ones that was on his first album

He won that shyt 4 weeks in a row.

 

[Yehuda]

I'm in tears, homie sounds like a goose.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

I don’t think they’d let Jaheim, Carl Thomas or Avant on there either. It is what it is

There is a lane for that though. Someone’s gonna start the platform sooner or later

Probably not. Or Case.

But you’re right, make a platform using one band doing all the music and have these cats come in and cook — if they can still sing.

Tiny Desk can pick and choose but the reality is that this isn’t a black platform, regardless of who the producer is. So the lane is wide open.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Sounding like he’s auditioning at the KIDDE headquarters for the next generation of smoke alarm sounds

 

[Yehuda]

The way he turns his head and walks off after yelling like victreebel while the crowd is cheering like he really did something is killing me.

 

[Tallac]

I'm in tears breh, while laughing hard at 10 PM. Dude is trash
What kind of notes is he pulling?

 

[Tribal Outkast]

That’s crazy

I think he’d get views but I don’t think a ton of people would care unless he’s terrible up there

 

[Tribal Outkast]

He was never a good singer. He made good songs tho

 

[Flawdaboi]

They just had Kehlani up there right... well

nikka is a big enough artist to be up there...Tiny Desk always have artists from other countries no one in the states know. Lol

 

[Eastside Get The Money]
