The hip-hop duo delivers its best live performance ever recorded and one of the hardest Tiny Desks of all time.'s Tiny Desk took lots of time to piece together. At first, I didn't know exactly what they were looking for, in terms of sonics, but it clicked when I was told what they didn't want: no jazzy renditions of their music.
They meant no disrespect to jazz at all, and if you follow the duo's music, it boils down to hard drums and even harder synths. Hybrid drummer Daru Jones, who played on last year's Tiny Desk, was the first choice because of his unique ability to mix traditional and electronic drum sounds. He provided the authenticity needed for this set, and everything else fell into place.The excitement for the Thornton brothers' return reached its apex instantly as someone in the crowd yelled"Oh my god!" at the opening note of"Virginia." There was no lull as the band coasted through"Keys Open Doors" and"Momma I'm So Sorry," from Clipse's most celebrated album,and Malice up close. Malice is more collected in his movements, intensely scouring the room with his eyes while his brother is much more animated, even letting out a sinister laugh mid-set., for the first time, including a chilling dedication to their deceased parents,"Birds Don't Sing." Before the tears from the crowd could dry, we got the moment we'd been waiting for in"Grindin'." The first half of the year in hip-hop hasn't been the most exciting, so the timing of this reunion couldn't be better. Here's Clipse delivering its best live performance ever recorded and one of the hardest Tiny Desks of all time.
