Testing Thundercat's Music Knowledge | Track Star*

Thundercat brings his unmistakable blend of humor and encyclopedic music knowledge to the Track Star* game show. Over the course of the episode, he reflects on the records and artists that left a mark - from the melodic brilliance of Stevie Wonder and the elastic funk of Sly and the Family Stone, to the introspective modern classics of Mac Miller and Anderson .Paak.
We touch on smooth, yacht-rock staples from The Doobie Brothers and Toto, the experimental intensity of The Mars Volta, and the raw, hardcore edge of Suicidal Tendencies (with whom he played for a decade). Anchored by the deep grooves of Funkadelic and moments of soul, jazz, and fusion throughout, the episode captures Thundercat’s rare ability to connect wildly different musical worlds - and have a lot of fun doing it. Enjoy the episode.
