Oct. 21, 2019 | Rodney Carmichael -- Seconds before the cameras started to roll, Summer Walker showed just how much she was willing to sacrifice for her day at the Tiny Desk: She clipped her nails. It wasn't an aesthetic choice but a pragmatic one. Not even her love for a fresh set of bedazzled acrylics would get in the way of her strumming the soul out of her six-string Fender electric. The guitar wasn't the only thing she'd brought with her from Atlanta. In her lap sat "Friend," the pink stuffed animal who no doubt provided a bit of emotional support during a five-song set that forced the shy enigma out of her creative shell.

"Look, I'm really freaking excited to be here but I have social anxiety like a mother******," Walker told the NPR crowd at the end of her set, barely mumbling the expletive in an attempt to censor herself. "I'm freaked the hell out, I'm sweating, but this is so exciting for me."

A 23-year old singer-songwriter with an uncensored pen and brown-liquor vocals, Walker has become something of a patron saint for colored girls who've considered bossing up when heartbreak is too much. With the release of her official studio debut Over It, she made history last week by racking up the biggest streaming week of any female R&B artist ever. Meanwhile, the first lady of upstart label Love Renaissance (LVRN) is lowkey leading a sonic revolution in Atlanta that's turning the trap capital back into an R&B town. Her team was equally insistent on tricking out the Tiny Desk space by hanging lights that brought a diffuse glow to Walker's creative set.

For an artist who rarely grants interviews and admittedly dreads the public spotlight — despite an Instagram feed that clearly shows off her humorous, exhibitionist flair — Walker's Tiny Desk is revealing. In the span of 15 minutes, she performs fan favorites ("Session 32," "Wasted," "Riot") and the song that made Drake hop in her DMs, "Girls Need Love," before ending with current single "Playing Games." Even behind the bright lights and oversized eyeglass frames, her unadorned soul shines through.

Since its inception, the lines between what’s real and what’s discussed on record in hip-hop has always been permeable. Often, rappers will conjure up tales from a treacherous past in order to illustrate not just how far they’ve come, but every potential hazard that they had to circumvent on the road to success. And depending on if you’re an elder statesman like Jay Z or a younger artist such as 21 Savage, the amount of space between you and your past conduct on the street can vary wildly.

But no matter the case, the general perception is that anything you talk about within the confines of your rhymes is in a reflective sense. As if you were still actively partaking in illegal activity, it’d be pretty inadvisable to draw attention to whatever enterprise you’re in and alert the cops. Particularly when your life as an MC has meant that there are now more eyeballs on you than ever before.

Well, while this may seem like a simple case of common sense to most, there is a subset of the hip-hop world for whom keeping it real has gone wrong. Very wrong.

Believing that authenticity is everything and knowing that it can translate to a whole host of sales, some rappers have interwoven the reality of their worlds with their artistry. And in doing so, did all but tell the long arm of the law where the bodies were buried or their contraband is stored.

A phenomenon first detailed by MF DOOM & Mr Fantastik as they discussed “Rap snitches, telling all they business, sit in the court they be they own star witness,” their warning about the potential pitfalls of speaking too freely and getting “the whole label sent up for years” proved to be less of an effective PSA than they’d probably hoped for.
As in recent years, far too many rappers have allowed there to be a correlation between the dirt they were doing and what they were discussing on their tracks. In essence, making them hip-hop’s dumbest criminals.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Josh (Tom Hanks) and his boss (Robert Loggia) play a huge electronic piano, to the delight of shoppers.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
More than anything else, 13-year old New Jerseyite Josh (David Moscow) wants to be "big". That's the wish he makes at an odd-looking amusement pier fortunetelling machine. The next morning, Josh wakes up-only to discover that he's grown to manhood overnight! (At this point, the part is taken over by Tom Hanks). Still a 13-year-old mentally and emotionally, Josh decides to hide out in New York City until he can figure out what to do next. He lucks into a job with a major toy company run by kid-at-heart McMillan (Robert Loggia). By cannily bringing a child's eye view to McMillan's business, Josh rises to the top-and in process, he falls in love with fellow employee Susan (Elizabeth Perkins). But he's still a kid, and he'd like to go back to his own world and own body. Written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg, Big proved a crucial success for budding director Penny Marshall, who'd work harmoniously with Hanks again on the radically different A League of Their Own. The cinematography was by Barry Sonenfeld, who went on to become a director himself with The Addams Family. That Big was heavily reliant upon the input of Tom Hanks and Penny Marshall was proven by the failed attempt to turn the property into a Broadway musical.
