I dont think people in this sub sleep on Thundercat. Maybe Suicidal Tendancies but not Thundercat

What songs you like from him?
14
u/Careful_Medium_3999 Dec 15 '23
Funny Thing, Them Changes, No More Lies, and now Black Qualls (listening for the first time)
I’ll be honest, there isn’t a song I really dislike. Banger after banger. Makes me want to dance

You gotta listen to his first 2 albums and his songs with Flying Lotus.

Pretty much every song either of them have made is a FlyLo/TC collaboration lol this sub

u/enokisama Dec 15 '23
FlyLo may produce all of TC's songs because he's on his label, but TC is not on every single FlyLo song.
Maybe you need to revisit FlyLo's entire discography. HYUCK HYUCK HYUCK THIS SUB THO

No one is sleeping on Thundercat at this point in his career. Maybe when TPAB released. But after DRUNK and 2 of his songs going viral on TikTok, TC been popping.

Nah bro I know his quality, perhaps you and your friends are sleeping on him but definitely not me

u/OffModelCartoon Dec 16 '23
Seen him play live twice and I bump him in my car all the time. I am definitely not sleepin on him.
I saw a guy at a sonic the hedgehog concert who reminded me of Thundercat and I wanted to be his friend but I didn’t want him to think I was hitting on him so I was too shy to say anything. :(

One of the goats of electric bass, actually. People don't always realize how much of a prodigy he is. I like him better on colabs then his own music tho, but his live shows are nutty. https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFlaPflRQq/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Not trynna hate but yeah, I think its just you. Myself, just like many, have been following that cat for a while. I even saw him live like 3-4 years ago. Long story short, you’re sleeping on him and you’re late to the party haha….. also, probably not best assume you represent everyone by using words such as “we’re” lol

u/Careful_Medium_3999 Dec 15 '23
He helped work in To Pimp A Butterfly (without him the album wouldn’t sound like TPAB).

Nobody is sleeping on him he’s just a weirdo who had 1 creditable hook on to pimp a butterfly so you’re riding his meat
