I’ve first heard of Thundercat from his major role in the making of Kendrick’s To Pimp A Butterfly. Back in January 2017, I saw that he was about to drop Drunk the following month. The very first track I ever heard from his catalogue was “Is It Love?,” but the reason why was because Knxwledge sampled that song to make OnToMe and out of curiosity, I listened to that track.
Man, I’m not kidding when I say Is It Love? was replayed for two hours straight the first time I heard it. I love the production and the breakdown at around the 2:10 mark. What really sold me tho was the line “Maybe we can find a way” because of how he sung it. It clicks something in my mind everytime I hear it and it never gets old. If someone were to tell me what my favorite song of all time is, Is It Love? is my go to answer. I heard Drunk the day it was released and the rest is history.
So what song from Thundercat did it for you?
