King of the Hill
Thundercat Lyrics
You say you ain't got time for games
No more games
But the world got time for games with you
Play your own
Playing with your money and your heart
Just admit you don't know what to do
I've seen a lot of things come and go
Lots of pimps and dirty hoes
How this ends, we'll never know
A king of the hill
Wasting his time
Chasing cheap thrills
He knows it's gonna cost him
God knows how much
But you know you gotta pay or play (pay or play)
At the end of the day (at the end of the day)
Playing with your money and your heart
There's got to be another way
A king in his castle
A king of the hill
Wasting his time
Chasing cheap thrills
He knows it's gonna cost him
God knows how much

He is part of this new generation of jazz literate / hip-hop loving instrumentalists, who can play beyond traditional limits - a mutant jazz cat - and, that’s how 'Thundercat' (a monicker he chose), suits him well (even if it’s purely the result of an unhealthy cartoon addiction, dating back to childhood).

Watch the start of this track get sampled in a rap song 10 years from now
Alberto Mora
@Jakob Rose I just plagiarized Beethoven because I play the piano and I also plagiarized Mozart because I sampled him by 👌
Alberto Mora
@Jakob Rose You can tell how people just never played a single note by their auras.
Have you ever listen to The Avalanches? No? Goodbye

@Yeezus this does not relate to this comments sections argument but I fucking love your avatar reminds me of like those basic Xbox 360 YouTube channels.
Yeezus
@aidenshark06 True, but one song by them isnt even creative sampling, its just a loop of release the beast
Yeezus
@Jakob Rose I mean hip hop was kinda made from sampling, also most times its credited. Have a nice day
