i love this post, all the historical context and NPR history. my recent post (yesterday! wow timing! universe) is my 'definitive' Tiny Desk moments that quickly revealed itself to be a hip-hop hot list. Clipse inspired my post as well and, of course, T-Pain is mentioned as the turning point of viral success. https://partydip.substack.com/p/the-definitive-tiny-desk-concerts
Wow! Yea crazy timing!! I just read your piece and learned about a few Tiny Desk shows that I missed. Had no idea that Gucci Mane was on there - that's going to the top of my list.
