Thundercat Drunk
February 24th, 2017
Essential Listening: Drink Dat (feat. Wiz Khalifa)
Thundercat is a hub for good music. You can catch a lot od different vibes from him, and he usually brings some funkiness to whatever song he’s on. his newly released LP Drunk is just that. Some good funky music. There are a ton of fun moments on here, and the album can be looked at as an ongoing party. Of course, there are a few slower tracks, and those fit perfectly when you don’t need the party ones. It’s laced with 23 tracks, but some are one and 2 minutes, making it seem like the album isn’t dragging on.
A few standouts like “Drink Dat” capture the essence of Drunk, because duh it’s a song about drinking on an album called Drunk. It also features a very good Wiz Khalifa verse, who has been quiet for a little while now. We also hear from Kendrick Lamar on “Walk On By” and who doesn’t love to hear the occasional Kendrick Lamar verse between albums. He’s clearly living life on this album, after going through more than a few hardships and deaths that reflected on his last few albums. We’re glad his happy place brought forth Drunk, because it’s a damn good album.
