Does anyone notice he's not using standard A=440 Hz tuning for this and a lot of other songs? This is slightly lower than 440Hz, i.e. it sounds kinda flatter, and I love the soulful vibes it brings 😍😍 thundercat is a genius.
Tejas Chandrasekar wow thanks for pointing that out. explains the unique vibes I'm getting with the whole album. I love the variety! the whole brainfeeder label is just some wicked island like the Galapagos. has some strange species of music there.
YES. PHARRELL WITH THUNDERCAT WORKS. ANTI-CLASSIST THEMES. YES. THIS IS GOOD. I bought so many tracks off this album already, thank you to @Thundercat you are a king's king

"If all lives matter when we mention black then why do u gasp?" 2:00 Maybe because statistically the community that needs to hear that most is the black community. So when we hear you get up in arms about a white cop shooting a black kid we wonder why you dont bring up the dozens of times more gang violence within the black community. This notion is becoming tired af please Pharrell...
If you truly think all lives matter you wouldn't feel the need to say all lives matter when someone says black lives matter, you would just agree. The only reason why people say all lives matter is to protest black lives matter. If you think all lives matter then why are *you* not up in arms when black on black violence occurs? People that say all lives matter only mention black on black violence when it's convenient for them.
@@taLLdavidproduction They say all lives matter includes black lives but if they truly felt that way they wouldn't feel the need to say all lives matter when someone says black lives matter. No one says all cancers matter at a breast cancer awareness gathering. In reality they don't care about black lives, they just want to dilute our movement because they have hatred in their hearts.
@@johncurrence4228 By your logic black people dont care about black lives. The stats still show police kill more white people anyways so your whole ideaology is based on a flawed perspective to begin with.

Pharrell's verse.... damn.
what ever happens on earth stays on earth (DAMN. reference)
"This is gonna sound like I was just hitting the hash"
@@chemann1689 no it's not lol, this came out before DAMN
That's why I love this song!
The beautifully dissonant flow of this tune is nearly a magical thing. And those lyrics... damn. Cheers.
'yaay'
Fucking read that as it played on the song hahaha
fucking best adlib in existence
"OMG where's captain planeeeeeet!!" 😂😆😁
1:26 I love this part with the verse! Sounds so cool!
Faxs
First time I heard this I was absolutely not prepared for Pharrell to make me want to fight a class war over this beat
What about Pharrell?
the two falsetto master on over track! wow. Pharrell is so damn good in this. N.E.R.D vibes for sure.
thundercat is so underrated
Pharrell and Thundercat....this was meant to happen! Why aint this song 7 minutes long?! #smoothshit
That YAY in the middle of the song is everything and made me laugh hysterically while working out to this song!!! Love you Thunder 🐈 💕
favorite off the album so far. pharrells verse is great
I Never knew Pharrell masked his voice for this song. Wow. Amazing. Thanks y'all lol
Listen to this high
always
Exactly!!!!
Underrated
Lmao, did he say, "Wheres Captain Planet?" (Yes Im new to Thundercat)
0:58 he sings the lick then says “yay”
Wow good ear
Also, Adam Neely fan?
@@SKATE87410 yes lol
As I sit, as I sit
And I stare into the clouds
And watch the world turn
Is this where we belong?
Or is it a step to fill?
Makes me wonder, makes me think
Everything we do is weak
Turn down
Oh 'cause look at the mess we've made
Who's gonna clean it up?
Oh my God, where's Captain Planet?
Perception, what you see
Compared to reality, so far away
You are so drunk, you miss it all (yay)
Just make sure you have the right Jordans on
Or be left behind to rot and die
Face down in the gutter
[Verse 2: Pharrell]
This is gonna sound like I was just hitting the hash (zone)
They make us think it's a race war when the war is in class (show 'em)
Teachers come through the speakers, images through the glass (foam)
Subliminal messages influencing the whole clash (Alone)
Black, white, gay, straight human beings all pee and want some ass (chrome)
If you scared of different then you should not take the same path
If all lives matter when we mention black, why do you gasp? (bro)
Behind our blue skies is the sun who's surrounded by black (tone)
I love the camo but why have more ammo than MASH? (don't)
Instead of blowing yourself up, take a love pill and laugh (you won't)
And laugh (ha)
up
Dream collab, I wish this song was longer though
Now that thundercat is off tour, I hope him and pharrell listen to this song again and realise they are saving the music industry... man it's unreal.
"if all lives matter, when we mention Black why do you gasp
behind the blue sky is the sun surrounded by black" y yew due dis pharell? mai hed ploded
it gets realer in 2020 tho
the world needed this song right now!
album is a classic
This is just too good.
Does anyone notice he's not using standard A=440 Hz tuning for this and a lot of other songs?
This is slightly lower than 440Hz, i.e. it sounds kinda flatter, and I love the soulful vibes it brings 😍😍
thundercat is a genius.
u hear the feedback when his vox come in. Its great textures this whole album
its 420 HZ
Tejas Chandrasekar wow thanks for pointing that out. explains the unique vibes I'm getting with the whole album. I love the variety! the whole brainfeeder label is just some wicked island like the Galapagos. has some strange species of music there.
zawette, dude I've seen you everywhere
@@julesrandolph7910 i personally strongly dislike that, it makes it sound more like he recorded it on a bad mic than it adds a texture
pharrell's flow on this one
"I've got a fever, and the only prescription... is more Thundercat!"
Best song on this album imo
They make you think the war is in race but it is in class
Straight ACE song - bangin' since the release!
this is tight af
I drifting into a different world , this is too beautiful
Shooooryuken!!! 0:23
LMFAO i've listened to this song numerous times and never noticed that until you said it !
On the original arcade machine
"Behind the blue skies is the sun, who's surrounded by black."
YES. PHARRELL WITH THUNDERCAT WORKS. ANTI-CLASSIST THEMES. YES. THIS IS GOOD. I bought so many tracks off this album already, thank you to @Thundercat you are a king's king
hits every problem that faces humanity right now on another level
"If all lives matter, when we mention Black why do you gasp, bruh"
Skateboard P still killin shit
Why do musicians put stupid political shit on their songs? fuck my life
Realest and smoothest line on this short af track. Really? 2 mins and change. Just wrong!
The ability to not be political is a privilege. Marginalized people have to be political because their lives and well being depends on it.
Lol stfu nigga
favorite Thundercat songs are the collabs
...and I was expecting to find a comment talking about the "Shoryuken" in the top comments.
You can hear it at 0:24 :o
Thundercat is so cool.
This tune makes me feel DRUNK...
Amazing I’m trying to put all my friends on 🤠
I love the part with pharrell willams 1:26
This is my favorite song on the album
Still so gotdamn good
smoooother than the cream on my frappaciono.
is it kendrick saying yay during thundercats verse?
That last finesse touch to make the track perfect!
Isn’t that pharrel?
It would be “yah yah” if it was Kenny
My 🐐
this was a whole ass era of my life when dis dropped frfr
thundercat collabs make other artists sound way better than they usually do
bass sooo wet...
Joel Mac lol that was accurate
It's called an envelope filter.
@@forgottengrooves6073 thank you blessed professor for your very relevant and totally not condescending remark
Love it

What dreams are made of
Watch........Pharrell's next album will be on these keys, especially because NERD's influence is from StereoLab
Just make sure you have the right jordans on or be left behind!
(yay)
Pharrell fuckin killed it
Pharrell es como el queso, queda bien en cualquier comida, no jds que chulada de canción
you're so drunk you miss it all . . yay
Pharrell’s verse 1:25
The turn down all cause look at the mess we made
Damn na i gotta roll ☝
brian wilson estaria contento con este tema.
i wonder what that mellonhead Fantano is gonna say about this album
Mateo Jackson he can say whatever about I'm still to listen to it
Mateo Jackson i stopped listening to him and really anybody else to validate what i like in music
Honestly who gives a fuck what Fantano says? He wouldn't have a career without these musicians and at the end of the day, he's barely relevant.
Who gives a shit. His reviews sucks now a days.
Mateo Jackson he gave it a 6/10.
Use me as a “yayy” button
1:01

Well welcome to the thundercat fandom his new album comes out april 3rd so be excited☺
I really only like Pharells verse, sorry thunderkitty 😀
