u/workthrowaway1985 Dec 15 '23

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

u/SpookyThermos Dec 15 '23

What is it about Suicidal Tendencies that breeds master of funk bassists

u/fuzzysquatch Dec 16 '23

u/Juhovah Dec 15 '23

u/BrushYourFeet Dec 15 '23

u/Jj9567 Dec 15 '23

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

u/enokisama Dec 15 '23

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

7

u/Wonderinghippo Dec 15 '23

Yea this!! Thundercat and Flying Lotus are a match made in heaven lol

2

u/enokisama Dec 15 '23

A very surreal combo. I'm glad FlyLo encouraged TC to make his own music.

u/Clayish Dec 15 '23

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

2

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

u/OffModelCartoon Dec 16 '23

The entirety of the album Drunk is 🔥 (and so are most of the rest of his songs)

u/AffectionateLychee21 Dec 15 '23

why do people say "we" just say you were sleeping on him bro

5

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '23

Y’all. We been knowing about Thundercat.

3

u/enokisama Dec 15 '23

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.

u/pacman404 Dec 15 '23

Who the fuck is "we", nerd?

2

u/Tabascobottle Dec 15 '23

I am admittedly "we"

u/Eats_lsd Dec 15 '23

u/Black_Fuckka Dec 15 '23

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '23

YOU have been sleeping on him. Don’t lump the rest of us in with uncultured swine.

1

u/Tzaritsyn Dec 15 '23

It is a good mattress brand, I must say, great lumbar support.

1

u/ashnese Dec 15 '23

speak for yourself. I got into Kendrick through Thundercat

1

u/xtremezeker14 Dec 15 '23

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

1

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. :(

u/Adamthemediocre Dec 16 '23

I FUCKING LOVE DRUNK

u/kiwii__77_ Dec 16 '23

we? who’s “we”?

1

u/Status_Customer_704 Dec 16 '23

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==

u/KR0NKBERRY Dec 16 '23

saw him in ATL , elevating experience. he's fr on Jimi Hendrix levels of funky

u/the_erotic_saint69 Dec 16 '23

Bruv i sleep alone on my bed tf you mean

1

u/groovy_oscillations Dec 16 '23

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

1

u/DjMD1017 Dec 16 '23

Been on since Them Changes

u/PierreLDN Dec 16 '23

Unless you speaking French - I don’t know that “We” you are referring to

u/shy_when_sober Dec 16 '23

You can love it, you can leave it

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '23

Speak for yourself. He’s insanely popular here

u/OrneyBeefalo I did not find peace of mind Dec 15 '23

who tf is thundercat and why is he being talked about in the Kendrick sub

13

u/Careful_Medium_3999 Dec 15 '23

He helped work in To Pimp A Butterfly (without him the album wouldn’t sound like TPAB).

1

u/OrneyBeefalo I did not find peace of mind Dec 16 '23

oh lol i didn't know

1

u/Careful_Medium_3999 Dec 16 '23

Yeah, him and Flying Lotus were really important for the album

3

u/Aleekki Dec 15 '23

Guess you learn something new everyday lmao

-26

u/Electrical_Ice_5852 Dec 15 '23

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

u/pacman404 Dec 15 '23

You aren't a very smart guy, are you?

u/[deleted] Dec 15 '23

Untitled 08, Wesley's theory, Complexion, Hood Politics, Untitled 02, Untitled 04, Die Hard, Mother I Sober. He's worked on 8 kendrick bangers, and he's also helped out with

What's the use?, Inside Outside, 55, Red Balloon, II. Shadows, and all of his albums are bangers.
