  • Thundercat is a Grammy Award-winning musician, producer, singer, and songwriter. His latest album ‘It Is What It Is’ is available now, and features Steve Lacy, Childish Gambino, Ty Dolla Sign, Lil B, Kamasi Washington, and Zack Fox. How will this funk-jazz virtuoso handle the proggressive spice notes of the Hot Ones sauce lineup? Find out how this lover of anime fares against the wings of death while answering questions about defining his music style, the cartoons with the best theme songs, video game soundtracks, Marvel movies, his early bass-playing days with Suicidal Tendencies, his love of bowling, and the first time he met Sean in Los Angeles at The Comedy Store. Will Thundercat be able to play his way out of this ridiculously spicy gauntlet or is it the end of the world? It’s time to face the music and dance with the scovilles!

    I've never seen anyone demolish Hot Ones like this:
    1. Ate the whole wing
    2. Sauced it like a champ
    3. Possibly the coolest guest of all time?

    What a showman Thundercat is. He's unique, stands out, attractive in his own way, plays incredible music, is knowledgeable and nerdy, and is just a badass. When he realized he was eating a shows sauce he plays it up. I mean maybe it is that good but to have that reaction I am pretty sure was a little forced but in a good way.
    I didn't even notice the replica set! Holy hell. I thought they were in the same room just at different tables. He even has multi camera angles and everything. Damn. Dude is incredible.

      I gotta disagree. Berserk gets much acclaim already. I think it's too popular to genuinely be considered underrated. IMO, it should be either Vagabond or Pluto. People talk about Vagabond here and there. but not as much as its art warrants. Pluto, on the other hand, seems relatively obscure, but has the makings of a smash hit anime.

    Still can't get over the fact that he started out playing in Suicidal Tendencies, was absolutely wild to find that out.

    Big THANK YOU to Dave Grohl, for mentioning, Thundercat in his Hot Ones episode. I wasn’t that familiar with him previously, but now I’ll be looking out for him and checking out his music more. He seems like a super talented dude who’s very relatable and chill and really appreciates gaming & the game music. I love that!

      If you haven’t you should check out the baseline he threw down on the Mac Miller track What’s the Use? And also Dragonball Durag

      I found him on here too. I watched the Tiny Desk concert on CZcams. Those are excellent. His is no exception.

    I'm amazed it took me almost a year to find this. This is a fantastic interview. And his comments on the Sonic 3 soundtrack hit home so hard.
    The engineering and well applied audio snarfs in the background too, though. Perfection.

      Yeah one of the best written mangas / animes of all time great in so many ways and also doesn't shy away from having scenes that do nothing but make you feel bad to a point that might scare away the average viewer
      But that's what makes it so great only true berserk fans understand the time taken to make us hate "The Hawk" more than any other character in almost any other story

      @@XLamonteCoxX I feel about Berserk the same way I feel about A Song of Ice and Fire, it's never going to be completed, so what's the point. In 30 years I will get to say, "Wow that was 3/4 of a really great story!!".
