“Just moved out hood, doesn’t mean I’m doing good” That’s some real shit
Then he digs even deeper with
"Gotta keep it on the low, cuz I been robbed befo'"
Wow. The hood is everywhere.
Shit, still gotta carry a gat in the burbs.
That hit me, stay strapped my niggas
@@JTu8925 No, no it's not.
His mix of anime culture, 70s aesthetic, and adult swim is refreshing
Agree! The funkiest otaku evahhhhhhh!
late 70's, early 80's to be exact
@@gaiatakahashi I promise
Perfect blend 🌪
It's called funk lol
I am proud to say we have people like Thundercat, Steve Lacy, Kevin Parker, Mac DeMarco, Khruangbin, etc alive and making music today, and they will be our generations “classics”.
lol, sure they will buddy
Hell yeah! Kevin Parker & Thundercat need to make a collab happen
They unfortunately won't. They have a niche audience. They'll be our generations hidden gems, not classics.
@@vincebl9899 Nah dude real music is making a comeback. Artists like that are getting recognized by some of the most well known artists today and by rappers and stuff and it’s becoming “cool” to like real music again.
@@nedtheproducer5777 I still can’t believe the popularity that IGOR got, and Thundercat everywhere on TikTok gives me hope
It's mufukin' Thundercat Season 2020 my ninjas
My nissans
So find yourself a girl/guy, drink some brandy and light up a blunt.
😂😂 Hell Yeah!!😄😄
I have a Nissan Xterra. It's a 2003. :)
WORD IS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My bass guitar survived a house fire, thundercat will sign my bass this year.
this is golden music.
SLAPIN DA BASS AAAYYEEEE
hey man I have to know, what with covid and all, if you still got the chance for Thundercat to sign it
@@seancompton4721 Not yet, I haven't been able to travel anywhere.
@@MarioLeeScott damn :(
F
These background harmonies are giving me a psychedelic high...
DOPE I MEAN!!!
Earthbound enemy encounter lol
This video is what you see when you get hella high
Be careful while going down the streets
“You woke up early. No one cares.”🙋🏻♂️
Does this song make anyone else instantly happy? I was chilling, kinda anxious bc quarantine is a turbulent experience, and this song came on. INSTANTLY I smiled and now I feel pretty happy((:
Facts!!!!
I just like Steve's part
this song's really good for that icl
If the whole album finna sound like this... oh my lord
id be in heaven
Lol, right
czcams.com/video/eurQq9Dqe9s/video.html
so people say finna instead of gonna now?
finna isn't an actual word.
Thundercat, Kaytranada, Steve Lacy, Sudan Archives n Esperanza Spalding stays in heavy rotation especially on wknds when doing my chores. 🖤
Nice rotation...
celestial vibrationz strong line up
Esperanzaa
Check out my playlist "The Soul Cafe' Vol. 2".
mad props
Thundercat makes me want to learn to play Bass. And it's dope how he doesn't take himself so serious, but the quality of the music is so crazy.
Do it. Get dat 6 string bass.
@@tengukaze9199 6 strings have a neck so wide it's hella uncomfortable lol. 5 string is about as far as a we need to take it.
@@spht9ng nahhh its not too bad lol at least the one I have. Takes getting used to but surprisingly easy to adjust
I think that's what makes me so emotional listening to his albums. His work is a worldwind of humanity spinning on a LP in my living room- he's felt all the feels and it resonates with each of us.
Can't explain how meaty the bass lines are 😪
Slap it
The meatiest of basslines.
Thats why I love basslines
New Thundercat, King Krule, and Tame Impala in the first half of 2020
This year is gon' be funky
Dont forget Mac :p
And now Anderson Paak + Flying Lotus collab!
also intrigued by this rock inspired kendrick album that was announced
How DARE you not include Khruangbin+Leon bridges release that's about to drop. Shame.. pure shame.
just waiting on vulf
The arrangement on this joint is so superb. Those changes are killin me.
Oddinhuman Music I was just saying that!! The chords on that bridge 😍
You mean...
Them Changes?
*imma head out now*
When you got greens on the bong rip, and all of a sudden it’s your turn again on the rotation😆
0:20 this bassline gives me chills every time I hear it
one of the very best guitarists, ever, I know
This song is heavily underrated
Nah. Pretty recognized form thundercat fans
@johnnymundo 1006 bingo
Thundercat is the perfect blend of 80s R&B, Jazz fusion, video game music, and funk.
Bro you are like a new age Rick James bro like your funky sound is badass .
or if you mixed george clinton with bootsy collins plus a ton of hyperspacedust
This track is so SMOOTH. This one is a 9.5 out of 10. It takes 'cool' and drops it in the 'smooth'. It's got my favorite bassist, Thundercat, and 80's throwback, Steve Arrington and a member of one of my favorite groups (The Internet) Steve Lacy (so many Steve's!!!). I am enamored by the way Stephen Bruner (TCat) is paying homage to these greats (see the album "Drunk"). I can't wait for the album to drop. Got my pre-order ready to go.
What kept it from being a 10 in your opinion?
Pick Huey the mixing wasn’t great aswell. Not too bad tho, your only gonna notice if your playing it loud
You got your Steves mixed up. Steve Arrington is the 80's singer most known for "Weak In The Knees".
Got a Grammy for Kendrick but now he need one for himself, this album was critical acclaimed. I’m calling it now, GRAMMY!
I wish bro
@@amazingsomehow3951 he got 2 now brotha we good!
@@kevinramsey4428 yooooo I ain't even know until this comment, thanks man
Steve Arrington of Slave!? This is 🔥🔥🔥
That post chorus is godlike damn
Seriously godlike. I started to get goosebumps
How was wife swap?
"just moved out the hood doesnt mean i'm doin good. I wanna post this on the gram but dont think i should, is it just me or am i paranoid? Gotta keep it on the low cause i been robbed before" too relatable
Steve Arrington! Steve Lacy! featured in a Thundercat track! I can die happy now.
one of my favorites of 2020. reminds me of the late 60s, early 70s, when I was a kid.
I got a pic with Thundercat, Battlecat and myself while in Cali a few years ago before the Pensado Awards. I'm frame'n that bidch and hangin' it in every McDonalds.
Too many Steve's don't spoil the broth.
But I'll be so sweet
Lol
Don't think about Too Many Cooks. DONT think about Too Many Cooks. DONT THINK ABOUT TOO MANY COOKS.
I don’t think we fully understand the genius of this song. Even surface level, the notion of bringing the Legendary Steve Arrington, Multi-Faceted Steve Lacy, and Daring & Original Childish Gambino together to create this piece is unfathomably great. Then 1-of-his-kind Thundercat is present.
Jeez. What a roster!
All dey names is steve
Damn, the video didn't even get a chance to buffer before that thick funk hit me
Sick beats as always my guy, wise choice to combo with Lacy
something so gloriously dreamy about this song
We're back! Best line: "If we don't talk about it, then who will?"
Let's do this!
When the hi-hat pattern switches to 16ths mid chorus it really brings the song to another level for me
Damn...my mind is blown Thundercat did a song with my elder cousin Steve Arrington of Slave...one of Dayton Ohio's finest...the Land of Funk is still represented...thank you Thundercat
I deadass told my brother 2020 year of thundercat
Lawd, the funk is strong with this one. Can't wait for the album to drop!
Thundercats vocals are giving me a Michael McDonald Vibe on this joint. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
A Thundercat track, Flying Lotus on the production, and Steve Lacy featured. This is heaven.
first time I heard the song....within the first 5 seconds I was smiling....baseline and drums are on point!
Thundercat used PSI Funkin Ω!
Never thought I’d find Earthbound humor here but damnit that’s amazing that I did
"Audience takes Mortal Damage!"
My favorite comment, first time I ever heard Thundercat I joke you not I thought "This badass grew up playing Earthbound" haha
Audience starts dancing in a funky manner??!
This is comedy gold
I've ALWAYS loved Steve Arrington's unusual singing voice (@ 0:45)
He never wanted to sing at first. He is a drummer by trade
IMHO it ruins the song
Steve Lacy is a huge inspiration to me
Steve Lacy dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! *A U T H E N T I C V I E W S D O W T C O W M* dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
Props to Thundercat for paying homage to Slave and Steve A
In love with the way Steve says fear at 0:17
Love the intro
This is just a stone groove and they got the legend Steve Arrington. Can’t wait to see this live performance
Thundercat gives me hope that pure funk and R&B are still alive and well 🎶🎵
Thundercat also looks like me grappling with early-stage adulthood
ITS GONNA BE SUCH A GOOD YEAR.
is it now........
This song is literally just 3 Steve's
4 -- Flying Lotus' (this song's producer) real name Steven Ellison. Hes also related to the late Alice Coltrane
I know you have your priority venues, thundercat. We need you to make an appearance in Florida, please
Heard this come over the music system we use at work as it was already playing in my personal headphone. I had to do a double take but I got so happy.
Damn! This is like nothing I've heard. Killing that bass line.
This song got some of the sweetest bass licks I have ever heard!
One of the best songs on earth rn
I love this song
THUNDER CAT WITH STEVE?! Is this a dream 😭
Tierra j which steve tho..?
@@quinnfoster7143 Mainly steve arrington for me. Lacy is a great artist in his own right, but Arrington is a legend both for solo work and slave. Highly influential figure. It must've been crazy to work with him.
This collab is freaking amazing
I know right!🎤🥁🎸
This just made my year.
This song is dangerously addicting-
One of the best beats ive heard in awhile. Appreciate you thundercats....
My favorite example of a song with a funky beat and rhythm and pretty darn depressing lyrics. "I'm just trying to live my life, I'm just trying to do whats right" when the world often times doesn't want/doesn't let you do the things you need to do, it sucks to be continually held in place by the society at large that dictates what we can or can't do based on how we look.
Every time I listen to this song its like, I'm dancing, but I'm sad about it, too. Like this funkiness is only borne out of pain. I think that requires extra thanks to the people that can turn that pain into joyful music for others to jam to but also ponder upon.
Steve Arrington is a legendary musician.
Man These lyrics is LIFE!
I just bought a crib on top of the hill
And I bought a brand new ride, am I keepin' it real?
There's nothin' wrong if you got it
I'm not livin' in fear, I'm just been' honest
'Cause there's no more livin' in fear
No more livin' in fear
If we don't talk about it on the web
I know I give a different vibe, yeah (On the web)
I'm doin' what I like, whoa, whoa, whoa (On the web)
I'm don't need you co-sign (The web)
'Cause I'm young enough and I'm old enough, both at the same time-i-i-ime (The web)
Hey, don't trip on my aggression right there, oh (The web)
'Cause I can go in new directions, baby (The web)
I'm just tryna live my life, do my best and that's alright (The web)
Yes, I'm comfortable and that's what's tight (The web)
Just moved out the hood, doesn't mean I'm doin' it good
Wanna post this on the Gram, but don't think I should
Is it just for me, or am I paranoid
Gotta keep it on the low 'cause I been robbed before
Sometime I wanna say that I'm blessed
Black man's grind gon' answer the test
Ah, the
Creative spirit talkin', creative spirit walkin'
And I don't wanna hurt nobody, hurt nobody, hurt nobody
'Cause there's no more livin' in fear
No more livin' in fear
If we don't talk about it on the web
I know I give a different vibe, yeah (On the web)
I'm doin' what I like, whoa, whoa, whoa (On the web)
I'm don't need you co-sign (The web)
'Cause I'm young enough and old enough, both at the same, yeah (The web)
Ah, ah, don't trip on my my aggression right there, oh (The web)
'Cause I can go in different directions, baby (The web)
I'm just tryna live my life (The web)
I'm just tryna do what's right (The web)
GENIUS🎸
Agreed man amazing
@The Stupid will Inherit the Earth I think you may have an addiction to CZcams... because wtf does your comment have to do with what's going on over here? Take that sh*t over to Twitter!
You're the real one thanks for the lyrics 👍🏾
@@Tammy_bluelove No problem😊💯 And real recognize real💯
@@inktown2theyak 💯👌🏾
I’m addicted to the bass!!!
Can’t help but listen to this 8 times a day
I knew Thundercat was working on something!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thundercat is an EarthBound boss. From the visuals all the way to the music.
YES FAM. This too accurate
Steve Arrington! Legend!
OMG FREAKIN BABY JESUS THUNDER🌩😺CAT NEVER FAILS US! 🙏🏻 He has hook up with legends and must be ppl who really inspired him. And especially Arrington he is a sample legend. Far as hits sample by Tribe Called Quest and more. Thank you Thundercat, both of the Steve's and Michael McDonald, Loggins for linking up with Thundercat💯 And making historical music with him and the youth needed this one as well.
It’s going to be a cold ass winter. But Thundercat, Mac Miller, and Tame Impala will be keeping me warm with some fire ass music.
I never thought I’d hear Steve Arlington from Slave in a Thundercat jam. Made my year. 10/10
This shit so cold!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 AND Steve Arrington tho!!!😍😍😍
0:01 starts slappin’
I must say Thundercat, you are a huge inspiration to me, your album drunk is in my top 5 albums of all time.
Saw him in concert tonight, felt like i wasn’t even on earth!! The way he plays bass is incredible
This brothers music is the TRUTH!
0:39 still gives me chills
Good vibes, so much soul
This is nice💯Had to listen to it twice. My 24 yr old son got a picture with Thundercat either last year or the year before last. But I love the fact that this music is reminiscent of my youth mixed in with a feel of present time💥🔥🥰
that being said, thundercat's gonna sing us a little song about how we're not alone in the universe. it's c- -cl-
3 years worth the fucking wait.
No more living in fear...i felt that 🔥
The Steve, the Steve and the Steve, wholesomest and grooviest trinity ever
this is criminally underrated
i need to return to chicago to see him in concert, immediateyly ! woah
We've been waiting Bruh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 you got Steve Lacey and Steve Arrington on this bad boy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thundercat helps you recover from the bad funk. And Hits you with that Hypnotic Funk
Mans lookin like an earthbound boss lmao
No more living in fear 🖤
How do you set fire on fire?
Thundercat + Steve Lacy + Steve Arrington
The sheer level of funk in this song is simply delicious.
Praise be to the three Steves.
I was playing Doom 3 while listening to this. When Steve Arrington’s part was on, it fits to the suspense in it. Because the game was known for being scary. I was glad that I found this song.
His album is crazy
When the album drops it will be my birthday! This is the best bday present i ever got. Thank you Thunder!!! I been waiting on this for soooo long!!
Yes!! Love this. Always listening to his music on CZcams Music.
Thundercat dressed like George Clinton and collaborating with one of the OGs from Slave. Couldn’t have asked for more.
He funked around with clinton on a few tracks
I was literally thinking that hes the new era George Clinton!!
@@ItsNini0077 stevie washington from slave also did tracks with clinton over the 80s
@@chrisedwards3214 Wow I didn't know that!
Modern day George Clinton
time to get a blunt and ride to this
you could drive lit?
@@Alex-Ander517 people do it all the time bro 😂😂prolly not advisable but you really never been on a blunt cruise?
I would love for Thundercat to either cover a Jamiroquai track or....even better ..... do a track with them.😊
For anyone just discovering Thundercat, welcome to the world ❤️👌
Haven't even heard a full Thundercat album.
I am STILL PUMPED.
And with that being said, I'm going to go listen to Drunk.
Sam The Music 'Critic' When it rains it pourrrrrrrs, open windows and closed doorrrrrrs. Sorry.........had to.
