      @@trenkenamn Geddy Lee is your example of a funk bassist? I mean I’m a Rush fan, but not sure about that comparison. Besides saying Thundercat is 1 dimensional is straight ignorant. He played with thrash bands, hip hop artists and not to mention all of the session stuff he’s done.

      @@vicbirth1649 never heard thundercat (dumb name) do anything but this kind of funk r&b type stuff. Go listen to geddys baselines on their later stuff like counterparts. Its mostly all flamenco style hard rock basslines. He switched to the flamenco plucking bc he wanted to get more funky.

    I honestly think macs talent was just being touched the years before his death. Id imagine ifbhe lived to just 60 he would have learned to play nearly every hip hop related instrument and honed his producer/lyrical side.. people like him would take rap/hiphop music go in a different direction than it is now...

    LYRICS:
    You can love it, you can leave it
    They say you're nothing without it
    Don't let them keep you down
    What if I don't need it? There's something about it
    That just freaks me out
    I just want another minute with it, fuck a little, what's the use?
    Never superficial you gon' know it when it hit you
    Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice
    Yeah, okay we colder than the breeze
    But the breeze ain't flowin' like me, motherfucker, hol' up
    You don't need to hol' up, yeah
    And I can show you how it seem, what it is, what it truly might be
    Nothing that you know of, you don't need to hol' up
    I'm so above and beyond you, take drugs to make it up
    Way up where we on, space shuttle, Elon
    Time we don't waste much, fuck and we wake up
    Then I have her sing just like Céline Dion
    Catch me if you can but, you'll never catch me, damn
    Whole lotta, "yes, I am"
    All the way in with no exit plan
    Already left and the jet don't land
    Yeah, the time is ticking
    Come take a ride, get inside, this is highly different
    I'm talking fly, got the pilot with me
    Can I mind my business? Why you trippin'?
    Give you somethin' that your eyes can witness
    Ooh, too close
    I don't understand why you doing the most (ooh)
    You can love it, you can leave it
    They'll say you're nothing without it
    Don't let them keep you down
    What if I don't need it? There's something about it
    That just freaks me out
    I just want another minute with it, fuck a little
    What's the use? (what's the use?)
    Never superficial, you gon' know it when it hit you
    Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice (turn it up)
    Well, I'ma give you what you came for, yeah
    Shit, I've worked too hard to have a clue who you are
    Set the bar so far above par, we can parlay all day
    Crib long range with the yard
    I know I should probably pray more, but you gotta love me
    'Cause I save the day, spend money
    When I had nothing, shit, it wasn't so funny
    Made a promise to the homies, nobody'd go hungry
    Look how far we came, still they throwin' dirt on my name
    But it never worried my brain
    Heads turnin' like a hurricane swervin'
    Tell the sun, get up outta my shade
    They don't get the picture, cut 'em out of my frame, shit
    I'm up 30 thou miles plus change
    It's been a while but I'm down 'til I'm out
    And it is what it is 'til it ain't
    Ooh, oh, oh
    I just wanna fly, ah
    You can love it, you can leave it
    And say you're nothing without it
    Don't let them keep you down
    What if I don't need it? There's something about it
    That just freaks me out
    I just want another minute with it, fuck a little
    What's the use? (what's the use?)
    Never superficial, you don't know it when it hit you
    Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice (ooh)

    The first 2 measures of that bass line sounds similar to a song I used to hear on the radio back in the 90s. I can't remember the title. The only thing I remember is that after the hook, there was a pause, and a trumpet solo would come in followed by the bass playing the first 2 measures of this bass lie. It's not the same, but it's similar.
