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 ?

[@jm-wd6up]

Weed? He said in an interview in the past that he doesn’t indulge…

[@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

[@ambfilm1188]

Thundercats is one of my favorite artists

[@jwrxgd]

Man, after seeing this interview a few days ago, all I’ve been listening to has been Alexander O’Neal & Hearsay. Doing the deep dive on Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis too, this shit is changing my life!!! God bless this interview, so many incredible gems of music here :’)

[@Bahimo3154]

This was one of the best interview i've watched in my life

[@lstlvs]

Dude the rapid fire question had me dying

[@drpebblez]

Thundercat is indicative and representative of parts of the imagination and the perceptions of the universe that not everyone can express nor tap into. Surrounded in authenticity and humour and genuine awe inspiring creativity and participation in sound and being!

[@THEREHE1S]

These two guys are some of my favorite artists of all time. I remember listening to their music on repeat everyday in high school and then on. 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]

That’s so awesome Bro! Two talented cats. Saw both of them live too!

[@windymustard1701]

He got the Steely Dan T-Shirt!

[@mlkz]

[@deaconddd]

I just love that these black men who are immensely talented artists get to play and act like foolish children 😂😂. I need this

[@MegaVern1]

I’ve seen Thundercat perform and I was pleased! I can’t even describe his talent!!!!

[@simonvidlund4077]

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

[@wendolyne1980]

Loved this interview! I always thought Thundercat was mysterious and magical and this interview showed me I was right! Great stuff!

[@uncvic1]

Love my fellow black artsy weirdos 🤘🏾😁

[@kavonhayes8960]
