Thundercat Reveals His Influences, from Flying Lotus to He-Man, and Being Honest In Your Music

[@DrBigFMC]

Thundercat looks about 10 years younger since he stopped drinking. Such a talent.

[@FunkadelicPancho]

He went vegan too

[@hatshepsutiv]

I thought it was just me. He looks so different and healthy.

[@jamescarter3196]

I didn't know about that but he does look great and is totally charming in this interview.

[@dawnyboy635]

does he still smoke ?

[@robertcaseygaultjr.7958]

I've heard this man play hundreds, if not thousands of times. I've never heard him play the same way twice. It's a testament to the authenticity in his musicianship. Coming from a brand new place every time.

[@mellow_keys8618]

Golden age of the apocalypse is one the greatest albums of all time to me. It’s literally a historic classic album for the ages

[@MegaVern1]

I feel the exact same way. From the album cover to the intro playing the Thundercats theme song. That album is perfect

[@world_of_manny_malibu]

Great album - Drunk better tho

I’ve seen thundercat 7 times live and Robert Glasper twice. This interview really is a gift and long time coming🤧 Would love the opportunity to meet them one day✊🏽

[@MegaVern1]

Great interview! Hoping Chris Dave gets interviewed in this series. He's one of the goats but rarely speaks in these forums.

[@mindbully]
