KENNY BEATS & THUNDERCAT FREESTYLE | The Cave: Season 2 - Episode 8

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2020
- Today on The Cave we’re joined by Thundercat, legendary musician and cat lover. Upon entrance, he immediately downs three cans of Yerba, which according to the FDA, would incapacitate almost any medium-sized horse. In spite of heart palpitations, music magic is still made. Our guest brings out his legendary bass guitar and plays along to one of the most frenetic, psychotic instrumentals ever made, using his patent-pending gang sign finger techniques. It’s a wild ride, and Kenny does his best to keep things grounded. But by the time we get into the booth, all bets are off. We witness art in its truest form, a man unmoored from the tethers of any earthly nature, struck like lightning with the gift of an ancient, extraterrestrial broadcast. If you listen closely to his freestyle, you can hear the ocean, the meaning of life, and the nuclear codes.

Just did the math, Thundercat consumed nearly 700mg of caffeine between all those Yerbas.
Those are just the ones they didn't cut out the footage too
I think a double/single shot of espresso is like 50 mg so he did like what 10-14 espresso shots right there fuck me
google says Thundercat weighs 603 pounds so that's only 0.00025% of his mass. not that bad
A metric fuck ton
@@LordLucario99 In awe of the size of this lad, what an absolute unit.
This episode felt like the Eric Andre Show
That's who he needs to get in the booth next
holy shit imagine if eric came on
Yes.
I mean he’s close friends with Zackfox hahaha
except if eric andre was a fucking bass master (edit) well I’ll be dammed he actually went to college for bass and is a master
"There's just a little pee on my jeans" -Thundercat, Grammy winner
I bet there was at least one moment in the life of every grammy winner where they thought this exact thought. Thundercat is just brave enough to say it out loud
He's the best musician
*Grammy Wiener
Thundercat, a 36 year old man by the time the video was released
@@GamingRobot13 thanks for quoting what he said I didn't see that at first
I love how abrupt he is
"I refuse"
"I miss my cat"
"I know where you live"
"I don't want any help"
"I gotta doo doo"
I miss my cat (her pussy)
“I don’t even eat Doritos anymore..”
*sniffs butane
"it's really hard to get my phone outta my jeans"
"It's 2020, Kobe's dead, we puttin used condoms in the bass case."

“This isn’t danger, you wanna know what’s danger? The 2020 election.” - Thundercat
we laughing not but hes definitely warning us
fuck the DNC
I lost it at that part 😂
Henry Boamah jus go out n vote blue
@@notv6675 what's it like wanting to be part of the culture but being a closet racist??
I see why thundarcat and zack are so close...
My exact thought watching this
@chubbyurma both of them on there would be too much for kenny 😂
Yo imagine the pure fuckery that would have went down if Zack fox was also in there
I thought this was Zack in disguise omg, we need an episode with both of em on here, KENNY!
@@savageexplosion *_BIG_** Oof*
Thundercat is the only person Kenny told to keep rapping
lmao
I like the idea that he’s just so inhumanly talented that he produces hits without a single care in the world. like he’s the most talented bass player to ever exist and he spends his time drinking 9 coffees worth of caffeine and wishing he was with his cats
Look up Victor Wooten
“this beat sound like a tiktok compilation of people getting hit by cars” - thundercat, 2020
I thought he said tic tac LMAO which works because it sounds like tic tacs hitting a glass
it really does hahaha
Oooo fuck that sent me!! 😂😂
“you got a boyfriend yet kenny?”
“honestly im in between”
“... tight”
Sexy I think you mean . rawr.
funniest shit ever, not even talked about later
4:25 for those coming back to it
Yeah I bet it is
Dude that was so fucking funny
this dude just won a grammy...
He did! Should be for this song
4:24 "you gotta bf yet Kenny"?
"honestly I'm in between"
"Tight"
*phat beats intensifies"
Kenny: "Your heart is in danger !"
Cat: "No it's not."
Cat: "You wanna know what the real danger is ?... The 2020 Election."
Dude, I can't believe we're watching this for free.
He’s speaking straight facts tho
we on that bernie 2020 shit
best part 😂😂😂
Fuck that it's Yang gang till the death of me homie join us were abolishing poverty
@@AGON17 we aint illegalizing porn fuck that
This guy was heavily involved in the production of To Pimp a Butterfly, I can't imagine this
He's the illest.
This is not the same thundercat. This is the fraud one.
FavelaFavela you must be young. This kid who calls himself “thundercat” stole the name from a legendary producer. Do your googles!
Justin Jackson clearly you didn’t do “your googles” either because you’re painfully wrong.
@@calidog16 Im pretty sure neither did your parents stole your name from beiber nor vice versa
Thundercat: *refuses to stop drinking Yerba mate’s*
Also Thundercat: “I think I’m coughing blood”
“my pee about to be neon”
“I want the TSA to feel like I’m watching them” -Thundercat 2020
This the same dude that recorded and played with Kendrick Lamar , Kamasi Washington AND Herbie Hancock
I wanna see mas git in there with the unprotected sax. maybe drop some bars.
And Suicidal Tendencies
and erykah badu
And mac
And SZA
This episode feels like a middle school sleep over
underated comment
I know where you live! 😂
in the best way
if the homies crawling on the walls then yeah
This really captures the mood perfectly
culture in 3 sentences:
"you know what the problem is? we're not going fast enough"
*fart noise "AHHH!"
"we need more speed"
Thundercat is the culture. Whatever he says goes
Thundercat is the mood you feel when you're in the bathroom naked waiting for your shower to heat up
The genuine concern on Kenny's face when he started drinking that third Yerba is h i l a r i o u s
he looked at him like a college student watching his roommate doing a way too big bump of cocaine
For real tho that’s really sweet of Kenny
I've been drinking yerba almost 10 years now and that really is way too damn much lol
“You got a boyfriend yet kenny?”
“Honestly I’m in between.”
“......Tight.”
*PAUSE*
@@BumFluffer1999 no pause for things that are actually gay. That's when we support homies
Thundercat raps lowkey SLAPS!!!! 🤯
I need a whole album like this!!
“It’s hard to get my phone outta my pants”
“I don’t even eat Doritos anymore”
"I miss my cat" is a fine ending for a Thundercat tune
"Thundercat drinks yerba and screams for 8 minutes then has a stroke"
lmfao
😫GAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
8 years of TH-cam and this your only comment
@@glockbaby4674 On this channel
This is simultaneously the funniest and most upsetting episode of the cave.
The beat was so good but not enough bars from Cat 😔✌️
I mean, there were 16 bars, just very erratic, sparse bars
Yeah
I genuinely am concerned for Thundercat.
@@nikki4227 I know right.
Thundercat is such a fucking chaotic neutral I bet he just walked up to the Pimp a butterfly recording sesh like yo imma sit in and everyone was afraid to say no.
This man won a Grammy. And he's in Star Wars now too.
God, I love Thundercat.
Thundercat always looks like he's been photoshopped into whatever image I see him in
he’s a CGI model in this video
looks like a freaking superstar
7:41
“Wondering why these Japanese women don’t like me”
Cool thanks
Sauce Tin Jacobs its the beard. Beards are asians nono
I wanna hear the full story
Bhakti Wb elaborate
I swear down, as a black person i can relate so much, i'm afraid its because of my skin tone.
Asian girls have a particular taste, either they ignore you or they are really into you
8:27 “kenny in the studio tryna su-“ *CENSORED*
LMAO
Talked about not trying to catch Coronavirus and the 2020 election being danger. He knew. He knew possibly too much.
Oh he knew more than ever man
He knew too much
This beat sounds like a mental breakdown and a panic attack at the same time
Almost like what you'd get from drinking 3 Yerba Mates in a 10 minute timespan.
@@goldra8409 cat probably drank 12 b4 going to kenny ngl
@@unauna1612 It's how he plays the bass that well.
@@goldra8409 he plays bass with a yerba bottle
@@unauna1612 his blood is yerba
Kenny: *actual concern for friends physical health*
Thundercat: *staring into the flames of hell contemplating the 2020 election*
Same...
What was he thinking about before he walked in that day?
Man with the shit thatst coming out lately it’s been a mess and it’s makes sense.
I've stared into many things/objects while contemplating that very topic, but, never a flame..... yet. *searches for lighter*
he knows something..
we should all be scared.
This video is the equivalent of when you and your homie partner up for a class project
The Yerba-fueled look Cat is giving Kenny at 8:46 is genuinely terrifying.
😂😂😂😂
As Kenny is talking: "I keep hearing white fuzz in my head" - Thundercat
Cuz Kenny Beats is the police
Xavier's Leong Way From Home that’s a bar tbh
W
the fuzz
thundercat knows the power of screaming to break up pauses in conversation and i respect that
A man of culture
bandit thought I was the only one that did this
4:01 It was at this point that Thundercat had delved further into manic depression
5:54 Thundercat begins to accept his emotional turmoil and reaches out to Kenny for empathy.
7:54 Thundercat plunges back into his hysterical Yerba induced manic episode
8:40 Mister Cat is threatening Kenny and has clearly lost all sense of Reason
8:52 Thundercat expresses the root of his depression which he has been feeling all along. His cat being away from him has stripped him of the only compassionate presence he has ever known.
"I know where you live" Kills me every single time. The delivery, the look, everything about that line. Perfection
I miss my cat.
"Im bout to find yo ass, bro...." 👿
Kenny: "What were you doing in Japan?"
Thundercat: "Crying-- not trying to catch Coronavirus and wondering why Japanese women don't like me"
LMAOOOOOO
They be hating kokujins
'Wondering why Japanese women don't like me.'
Find out why in the next episode of Dragonball Durag.
That One Guy this aged very well
@@Grooovyd9 hate that ur right lol
@@ThatOneGuy7550 what happened lmao?
This train wreck was a masterpiece we didn’t know we needed.
Still tripping on how much Kenny's "Sometimes" at 10:04 sounds like NEW MAGIC WAND intro so much!
Sometimes you gotta close a door to open a window
BMMMMMM BMMM BMM BMM BMMMMMMMMM
Dude I thought the exact same thing!
i think the editors used the sound effect
It’s crazy to think that THUNDERCAT worked on To Pimp A Butterfly, such comedy 😂
Comedian Zack Fox Cave Episode: actual godlike track
Musician Thundercat Cave Episode: existential Yerba Mate-fueled fever dream
😭😭😭
yerba had him going shamanistic
“Put the Yerba down.”
“ N O “
"Theres not a lot of sugar in these huh?"
"No, theres a lot of sugar, and a lot of caffeine"
"...cool"
Kenny: "put the yerba down!"
Thundercat: "N O"
"let me borrow your car real quick" is a banger of a hook
This has Been the best 24 hours for Kenny beats fans ever
hy did i miss something
@@djprice7235 Denzel collab EP! it's fire!
slimez on deck this along with the unlocked short film and album with Denzel Curry.
I honestly hadn't heard of him before this and the Denzel collab. Gonna binge now
FAXTS
Thundercat: *has issues opening door *
Vince Staples: “ I told you bro, that’s slavery”
😂😂
"You want to know what's danger? The 2020 election"
Thundercat was so right
Let’s just say it developed into a mw2 lobby with those 2
thundercat putting used condoms in the bass case to make “the tsa feel like im watching them” i cant
“Bro we’re making jazz there’s no time for doodoo”
lol
I say yabadabadoooo
Inspirational fr 😔
HAVE THUNDER CAT AND ZACK FOX TOGETHER IN ONE EPISODE
The Universe would collapse into itself
Kenny would cancel the series
that would be tight
They have done things together
You're not ready for that
Unironically sounds like a Flying Lotus production.
And the scariest day has arrived, Election Day has come, thundercat been in tune
Thundercat, Zack Fox, Vince Staples and surprise guest Eric Andre would be one hell of an episode, and one hell of a traumatic experience for Kenny.
kenny would have an anxiety attack for sure
Jesus is King will play Vince starts throwing gang signs, Zack cripwalks with a top hat and no pants, Eric destroys a desk, Cat starts downing all the Yerba and Kenny will start internally screaming.
@@indigo153 nah there is no way in hell you could internalize the pain that that situation would bring
Kenny might end his channel after that episode.
Eric Andre went to berkley too. Seeing him battle bass with Thundercat would be awesome to see.
Chugging enormous amounts of caffeine with no regard for the state of my heart and justifying it by bitching about politics has been my energy for about 3 years now too.
Same but change the caffeine for angel dust substitutes.
You're officially a Politician
Tan Dkach there’s only 85 mgs less then a cup of coffee per yerba
We all gotta have something to live for lol
@@h3ck774 nah, these cans have 140mg per can, the same as a monster energy. They aren't the samr as just the pure yerba mate tea, they are yerba mate energy drinks that have extra caffine.
6:18 That is unholy my guy
“There is a lot of sugar, and it’s a lot of caffeine”
*”Oh cool”*
Kenny is that one friend of the group that just puts up with everyone's shenanigans, he slowly starts acting like them but then remembers who he is and is just like "bro, just cut that shit out"
Yo i am this guy wtf
bruh you're psychic or somethin'
literally that is “producer” this the job
the officer in him comes out for a few seconds to stop too many goofs
Kenny Beats: I’m a serious musician
Also Kenny: *this beat*
Zack and Steven out here destroying careers for producers
I liked the beat though
PROD ARYEL the beat was kinda 🔥 though
the beat was hella fire fym
this comment underrated as FUCK
That picture is crazy wtf 6:10 I almost just broke my shit trying to get my fingers tangled like that
Thundercat looked like a default watchdog 2 character
“I want the TSA to feel like I’m watching THEM.”
“Dude, we’re making jazz! We don’t have time for doodoo.”
"I want the TSA to feel like I'm watching them"
I felt that LMAO
"I miss my cat" lowkey a best meme song lol
2:04 is the most genuine kenny has ever been
swear thundercat had a stroke during this episode. kenny was just tryna get him in the booth before he collapsed
need dat Earl Sweatshirt Cave episode
"Make the worst beat you possibly can"
Yessss
Mavi
Earl is washed now
@@vaporizedbug
He so would say that
"I'm not wearing any underwear so..."
"No way..."
Kenny going at speed of light- "We're not fast enough"
thundercat: you got a bf yet kenny?
Kenny: honestly i'm in between
*mildly awkward pause*
thundercat: ...tight.

He learnt how to play the guitar really well too
Thundercat the only guy who can make Ramones and super skinny jeans look good
"I need to borrow yo car real quick" thundercat 2020
Thundercat: "I miss my cat."
Kenny: "Yo, that's like... art."
Libra and Taurus be like
*4 Yerba's later*
Kenny Beats: _He's too powerful_
7:11 that closeup had some incredible office-vibes
"I'm not wearing any underwear so.."
I keep coming back to this because the adlibs, the one liners, editing, camera work, realness, the pauses, and awkward-genius so eloquently woven throughout is just beautifully hilarious! Brings me so much joy!!!!!
Kenny and Thundercat out here making the jet set radio 3 soundtrack
Yesss Lmfaoooooooo
this comment needs more love wtf
@@sentris Thank you!
swear to god I wasn't the only one thinking it!
Honestly this was the best comment. We need this😂
"We gonna get these thundercat bars, one way or another" - 7:12
this mothafucka police officer Kenny Beats was thinking about put Thundercat on jail lmao
I feel like putting a guy on top of a jail woudln't necessarily be a cop move... Unless like maybe Kenny is leading a tour group through a prison and Thundercat is part of that group and they decided to go to the roof of the jail. Idk man.
@@SirDiamondNips not funny didn't laugh
Both of them trying to convince the other one to rap is such a good bit
I come back and rewatch this every other week. It's energy is rad
kenny, any time he's remotely uncomfortable: " no "
Season 2 Finale is just gonna be just gonna be Kenny rapping on his own beat
THAT COAT IS FIRE. WTF IS THAT YELL WHEN HE STARTED ON THE BASS. dang cap lock
Thundercat Is the embodiment of a adult swim character
Kenny: "It's not fast enough."
Thundercat: "Hold my Yerba Mate."
[Yerba #4]
"You gotta stop."
"There's not a lot of sugar in these, is there?"
"There's a LOT of sugar and it's a LOT of caffeine."
"OH COOL!"
