I can't stop listening this song. It's funky, it's trippy, it's chill, it's upbeat, it's beautiful, it's really funny, it has an interesting message! Everything is genius! I felt so many emotions from it! It sounds like if Earth Wind & Fire sang over a Bootsy Collins song! I'm a huge 70s funk fan so I love any throw backs that are done right.
he's been featured on a bunch of stuff other than his albums as well. I feel like I hear him on every flying lotus album so you should check those out if you haven't already. off the top of my head he was also all over kamasi washington's album, kendrick lamar's stuff (to pimp a butterfly and untitled 5), and terrace martin's Velvet Portraits.
moon man he has Golden Age, Apocalypse, The Beyond EP, plus like everyone's s said, he's worked on so many projects. Most notably To Pimp A Butterfly and The Epic, plus almost always with FlyLo
Plus work with Sa-Ra creative partners, work on Erykah Badu's New AmErykah, Childish Gambino, Mac Miller, Terrace Martin, Suicidal Tendencies, Snoop Dogg, Taylor Mcferrin, etc
Friend Zone by Thundercat LYRICS I'm your biggest fan, but I guess that's just not good enough Is it 'cause I wear my hair weird or because I like to play Diablo Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking 'bout 'Cause I really don't wanna have to spell it out And next time you call me I'm gon' sit and stare at the screen Waiting for the call to end You stuck me in the friend zone That's that bullshit I'm gonna play Diablo either way You could come or you could go Because I'd rather play Mortal Combat anyway hey I'm all about my Johnny Cage If you're not bringing tacos I suggest you start to walk away Bitch don't kill my vibe I can tell you kinda got uncomfortable So let me break it down for you Don't call me, don't text me, after 2 am Unless you plan on giving me some 'Cause I got enough friends I will throw you in the garbage 'Cause you play too many games I'm better off by myself Loving you's bad for my health No one wants to be in the Friend zone Friend zone Friend zone . . . I needed some lyrics to sing along.
Yeah!!! That sounds like the Prelude from the FF series, and the clock ticking in the background makes me think of the clock ticking in the Thunder Plains theme from FFX.
I know this comment was made 5 years ago but I wanna just… voice my view on this I guess? Anyways I feel like a had very a different experience with this song, when I found it I was in a very unhealthy relationship that I really wanted to get out of. She was the type of person who wouldn’t let me do anything without her and if I did she would just happen to have mental breakdown when I wasn’t paying attention to her, stopped me from seeing any family, friends, and attending school. And she also considered hitting me a form of affection, didn’t care that I told her to stop. I was also working a job that I hated that she convinced me to get that had me where I was waking up with my hands in pain every morning. There was a bunch of other shit, but from just that you can tell it’s pretty bad. The only time I was able to be at peace was when she was at work, or when I stayed up super late and fucking my sleep schedule, and I could just get on my computer and play some video games and hang out with my friends and listen to Thundercat. This song especially hung with me bc I just wanted out and just wanted to say all these things in this song to her. I would get so pissed, relaxed, and grooving my head like I would get up and dance if I knew how, all at the same time. I just wanted out and basically tell her “bye I’d rather play any video game than be with your ass” and just ‘throw her in the garbage’ like in the song. His songs honestly felt like it was the only thing holding me together at some point. So many depressing themes but also with uplifting and just funny ones making feel like no matter what’s happening it’s going to be alright. Anyways, so many emotions, so many memories that get processed every time I listen to this song, but it still love it bc keeps me at peace bc it reminds me at least I’m out now. I’m in a better place, working a better job, and don’t have to worry about if any move I make will bring the wrath of whatever god down upon me. I’m finally free to be me and have a genuine smile on my face.
So, I've been sleeping on Thundercat. Always heard of the dude, knew of him, listened to a few funky tracks of his...but this one solidified the fact that I need to go buy his shit. Now.
Man the way some of his songs play off of each other are unreal, listening to Them Changes into this one and it carries some of the vocal melodies with a variant to it, think I've entered the Thundercat wormhole 🌠
Just saw him live up in Lawrence KS and I have to say that he is the best live performance I've ever been to, and I've been to the mighty mighty bosstones
Friend zoning is like the manager hiring someone with way less experience than you at a job, then the manager complains about how bad other person is at the job.
It really sucks when you really like someone, not even as a lover, and they just don't give a shit about you, or what you like. But when they expect some shit from you 😭
Ok I wanna thank earl sweatshirt for tweeting yesterday; " everyone to go listen to this album 55 times back". Cuz I honestly didn't know who this guy was... I did know he did work on to pimp a butterfly but for some reason I thought this guy was some old 70's bass player for gorge Clinton... but anyway I'm glad I took his advice cuz this really opened my eyes to something special. I'm 23 & I love groovy shit I Always say that I'm born in the wrong era cuz I really love that feel good music they made back in the day & this is the closest thing to that.. the whole album is pretty nice so far I can't get past this track & them changes
This is easily the coolest anyone has ever sounded while declaring they'd take Diablo and Mortal Kombat over a girl.
So true lmao
Facts
Exactly! If I wanna play games, I’ll cut on my PS4
The only gmes I play are video games as well
Eyyy a woman is like 2 years of entertainment. Diablo and mortal Kombat are forever
*this song changed the flavour of the gum I was chewing*
not sure what you're talkinabeet
Jimmy H that gum you like is going to come back in style.
this is the greatest comment I've read to date
Neale Scott, you've spoken to the dancing midget, too?! Niiiice.
what flavor was it before and what flavor is it now? I think this is the importanta question.
the perfect banger to drop _on_ valentine's day
4zK he dropped it ON Valentine's day
ON valentine's day*
4zK 👌
4zK yesssss
I can't stop listening this song. It's funky, it's trippy, it's chill, it's upbeat, it's beautiful, it's really funny, it has an interesting message! Everything is genius! I felt so many emotions from it!
It sounds like if Earth Wind & Fire sang over a Bootsy Collins song! I'm a huge 70s funk fan so I love any throw backs that are done right.
Love this song I play it loud so to subject others to it
Good description.
Yes! Yes! You are an amazing person. Much love.
I also love the synths and the soundscapes how the one after the drum fill sounds like a voice.
Almost. It’s all electronic. Nobody really playing an actual instrument.
The line 'I will throw you in the garbage' is pure poetry! Keeping it real!
that one popped into my head randomly today and I had to come listen to this :D
(( bitch don't kill my vibe ))
CUZ YOU PLAY TOO MANY GAMES 😩
looks like he's trying to get out of the friend zone in that picture lol
Oh shit, oh shit she is coming *dives under*
@@fucksandwich1710 my thought was," damn too hot, gotta cool off...there she is" *glares*
😂🤣😂🤣😂 Underrated comment!
"she'll never fuckin look for me in here"
Fr tho lol
he bringing neo-soul back! somebody please give this man a Grammy!!
Damnnnn You called the grammy homie.
HANDLED
Most definitely
You mean funk.
they heard u
I know his lyrics are ironic/goofy but his songs get me in my feels. Shit is so good though
RetroFilth that's the point he kind of sounds like earth wind and fire
+Nicholas Kuprat word
Shit its 5 am what are you doing to me Thundercat
6 years later, its still 5am...
7 years later still..
This song is amazing. The man is getting even more amazing on each album.
The Golden Age of Apocalypse (2011)
Apocalypse (2013)
The Beyond / Where The Giants Roam EP (2015)
+++ lots of features on Flying Lotus' albums.
Plus if you're into spiritual jazz (think John Coltrane's A Love Supreme) he played the electric bass on Kamasi Washinton's The Epic.
he's been featured on a bunch of stuff other than his albums as well. I feel like I hear him on every flying lotus album so you should check those out if you haven't already.
off the top of my head he was also all over kamasi washington's album, kendrick lamar's stuff (to pimp a butterfly and untitled 5), and terrace martin's Velvet Portraits.
moon man he has Golden Age, Apocalypse, The Beyond EP, plus like everyone's s said, he's worked on so many projects. Most notably To Pimp A Butterfly and The Epic, plus almost always with FlyLo

Bless Thundercat, he's what this world needs right now.
Fr
Getting TPAB vibes and loving it. Never listened to much Thundercat, but listening to this has definitely brought to light his influence on the album.
he helped produce like 3 songs on tpab, he was that vibe
Jerms idk Yeah, definitely gonna listen to more of his stuff. It's fantastic.
YaboiLogan227 listen to them changes
This beat sounds super similar to the beat on Wesley's Theory
Mr. Super Fly love ya profile pic sonny
It makes no sense how good this is. Sheesh. This is Thundercat's world and we're all just trying to survive in it...
ever listened to Funkadelic? lol I love Thundercat but he's basically just George Clinton as a bass player
@@carstarsarstenstesenn I can dig it!!!
@@carstarsarstenstesennlove atomic dog
My dream supergroup:
Thundercat: Bass, Vocals
D'Angelo: Keys, Guitars, Vocals
?uestlove: Drums, Percussion, Vocals
Nile Rodgers: Guitars, Vocals
Kendrick Lamar: Vocals, Rhymes
All solid except for the keys. How bout Cory Henry or even Robert Glasper would be better tbh..
MattGurley Add Childish Gambino in there then you'll got something going!
FlyLo's missing and then it would be a ultragroup
And Tyler the Creator in his Flower Boy mode.
Questlove is NOT in the house.
Thundercat is the auditory version of Adult Swim
YES!
Hell YEAH
That's Flying Lotus but when they collab? MMM
@Charles Smith Yes

LYRICS
I'm your biggest fan, but I guess that's just not good enough
Is it 'cause I wear my hair weird or because I like to play Diablo
Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking 'bout
'Cause I really don't wanna have to spell it out
And next time you call me
I'm gon' sit and stare at the screen
Waiting for the call to end
You stuck me in the friend zone
That's that bullshit
I'm gonna play Diablo either way
You could come or you could go
Because I'd rather play Mortal Combat anyway hey
I'm all about my Johnny Cage
If you're not bringing tacos I suggest you start to walk away
Bitch don't kill my vibe
I can tell you kinda got uncomfortable
So let me break it down for you
Don't call me, don't text me, after 2 am
Unless you plan on giving me some
'Cause I got enough friends
I will throw you in the garbage
'Cause you play too many games
I'm better off by myself
Loving you's bad for my health
No one wants to be in the
Friend zone

I needed some lyrics to sing along.
Love
Thanks
Mortal "Kombat"
Is talking about Devil in some way
Thank youuuu💗💗💗 I couldn't figure out the word "weird" or "tacos" 😂❤️❤️❤️
“if you’re not bringing tacos I suggest you walk away” WHY DID THAT HIT MY SOUL THO
its * bottles *
tacos just as good tho
I was friend zoned for the first time Friday night, the week just before valentine day. When this popped up in my feed.. god bless our boi thundercat
Gee Seb bro i know how u feel😨😨
Feels bad man
Thunder...thunder...thunder...THUNDER CATS HOOOOOO!!!
@ChattyPablo damn bruh chill some girls just dont like you like that XD
bold of you to assume you have friends
On top of the Diablo & Mortal Kombat references, I'm thinking that arpeggiated synth line is a nod to Final Fantasy.
Yeah!!! That sounds like the Prelude from the FF series, and the clock ticking in the background makes me think of the clock ticking in the Thunder Plains theme from FFX.
Yeah sounds like the crystal theme
I can’t unhear it suddenly.
This song just became even cooler. Thank you
dude i was just like noticing very much this fkn n e a r l y, as i read halfway through your comment wtf. Love it haha
The arps on this song are so heavenly. I LOVE YOU THUNDERCAT!
Thundercat's about to release the AOTY isn't he?
Killer Queen dam right he is
He better ... this is gold!
Killer Queen I'm wit it
His album drops on the 24th!!!! Can't wait
I wonder what Anthony "light 3" Fantano will think of this one.
Only Thundercat can make silky smooth music about playing Diablo and Mortal Kombat.
I've had this song on heavy repeat for the last few days
Omar F when i got put in the friend zone and that was yesterday, i had this song on repeat😨😨😨 idk what to do now
Yeap
I know this comment was made 5 years ago but I wanna just… voice my view on this I guess?

This should have been Mordecai's theme song in regular show
True
@@tavarusbenton5291 idk maybe
waffle menu lol just asking because he’s always around women and he won’t do anything to them
Joshy Crossing was kinda talking about the gems but was really talking about Connie’s mom though
Joshy Crossing would you not though be honest 🤔
First time listening to this 😊
"I'm gonna play Diablo either way"
I felt that.
Man oh man❤
Perfect for right after Valentine's Day. I wanna play mortal kombat anyway
An absolute banger!
I absolutely love the album cover.
THUNDERCAT WINS
FLAWLESS VICTORY
"Dont call me...dont text me after 2am..." and then it all goes downhill from there....im dead in tears by this part.🤣
Omg I forgot that this instrumental changed my life
THIS IS SOO FUTURISTIC.
*The tone man thats so nice*
This has to be the most 70's album cover I've ever seen.
Thundercat is the best thing that happened to me in the past five years
Thundercat always dropping quality tunes.
I was going to eat the entire pack of these chocolate cadbury melts biscuits, but this song made me throw it away and took my ass for a run instead🔥💪🏾
whyd u have to throw it away tho? smh rich people
Eat the cadburies annie may
Give me the cadburies I have a fast metabolism and I hardly put on weight 😄
Man the way some of his songs play off of each other are unreal, listening to Them Changes into this one and it carries some of the vocal melodies with a variant to it, think I've entered the Thundercat wormhole 🌠
I wish Feb.24 was tomorrow! This album is going to be dope. I've listened to this song 100x already.
HOW DID I JUST DISCOVER THIS ARTIST NOW HOLY HELL HIS MUSIC IS SO GOOD
Jonny Cage listens to Thundercat when he gets friendzoned.
Marques Johnson then he beats his meat and goes to sleep
zzzZZZZzzzzZZZZZ
"I'm better off by myself." Ah shit, I think this is bout to my theme song.
hella relatable
I actually don't mind being stuck in this friend zone... 😌

This just bops man...
story of my life! whata jam!
HMU no friendzone needed with that kinda mouth
@@Incognito-sf2ss lol

This song goes hard. Especially in the morning ☕
Just saw him live up in Lawrence KS and I have to say that he is the best live performance I've ever been to, and I've been to the mighty mighty bosstones

Classic
Friend zoning is like the manager hiring someone with way less experience than you at a job, then the manager complains about how bad other person is at the job.
💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what if you're just as bad?
Dis hittin home
Yes he played this at his show yesterday ☺️ it was awesome
So cool!
'CAUSE I GOT ENOUGH FRIENDS
That was amazing
It really sucks when you really like someone, not even as a lover, and they just don't give a shit about you, or what you like. But when they expect some shit from you 😭
First time listening to thundercat was today , I feel blessed
"cause I got enough friends"...that's how you let her know when you don't wanna be in the friend zone 😂
This is the one rare time when I prefer the mastered album version...thunder keeps it raw like ODB..
FRESH
what a tune
Thundercat is underrated as fuck
absolute fucking trip
sounds like falling thru a pit of various rainbow colours into a new world
Hooked up with a crush of mine this weekend.
Next day she said we should stay friends.
And now I'm here listening to this song.
Least you got the hook up. Ask for friends with benefits next time!
i feel ya
I listened to this today on my Yamaha headphones for the first time and I thought someone was breaking into my house when that bass fell in
The vibes man... lookin forward to the album
He said, "don't call me, don't text me unless you plan on giving me some."
Lol?
same here girl hmu
Lol?
Incognito ew
He said "after 2am"
No dude wants to hear from a girl at 2am unless it’s for some play, basic fact
I do wish it was longer.
Like. Really.... So good
IF U AINT BRINGING TACOS I SUGGEST U WALK THE OTHER WAY🔥🔥🔥
Dawg! All time favorite song !
When you help a girl through her worst times, and she's calls you //a great friend//
wow. just wow
That mortal combat line doe...
"B.don't kill my vibe"....hahaha! Epic
Ok I wanna thank earl sweatshirt for tweeting yesterday; " everyone to go listen to this album 55 times back". Cuz I honestly didn't know who this guy was... I did know he did work on to pimp a butterfly but for some reason I thought this guy was some old 70's bass player for gorge Clinton... but anyway I'm glad I took his advice cuz this really opened my eyes to something special. I'm 23 & I love groovy shit I Always say that I'm born in the wrong era cuz I really love that feel good music they made back in the day & this is the closest thing to that.. the whole album is pretty nice so far I can't get past this track & them changes
nah you were born in the right era
This song is life! Still bangin.
Everyone is talking about Them Changes but nobody thought to bring this up??
I love Thundercat
