Thundercat Disses Chris Brown While Hanging With Robert Glasper & Drake

by

At early February’s Grammy awards, R&B icon Robert Glasper took home the award for best R&B album. His Black Radio III project includes stellar features guests like Common and Erykah Badu. Additionally, it beat out albums from Mary J. Blige and Lucky Daye. However, one of his R&B peers was not too thrilled with this result. Chris Brown, who was also nominated in the category, had some choice words for Glasper. “Y’all playing. Who da f–k is this?” he wrote on Instagram. “Who the f–k is Robert Glasper? I’ma keep kicking y’all a– respectfully.”

After receiving backlash for this, though, Breezy texted Glasper an apology: “I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys. You were not the intended target and I know I came off really rude and mean,” he texted. But, Glasper still used the incident to his advantage. Selling t-shirts with “Who the f–k is Robert Glasper?” printed on it, Glasper raised donations for a New Orleans music education non-profit. However, even though it seems both Brown and Glasper have since moved on from the debacle, fellow R&B star Thundercat has not.

Thundercat Takes A Shot Of His Own

On Tuesday (Feb. 28), beloved guitarist/vocalist Thundercat posted to Instagram a group of photos from a recent outing. Shown hanging out with Drake, Robert Glasper and Dave Chappelle, Thundercat used the opportunity to jab at Breezy. “‘Who the fuck is Robert Glasper?’…lol.” Thundercat captioned the post. It truly means something when Glasper is hanging with superstars like Drake. It makes it even more curious how Chris Brown could not know who he is. Either way, though, Thundercat surely felt it necessary to defend his friend.

The photos Thundercat posted were taken at Bootsy Bellows Club in Los Angeles. It’s not currently clear why Drake, Glasper, and the gang were there, or what day they were. But, Bootsy Bellows also just recently hosted an album release party for Don Toliver. So, it would appear that this particular club is home to many of Hollywood’s most decorated stars. And, in particular, that would include the esteemed Robert Glasper.

Vic Mensa Rocks “STRAWBERRY LOUIS VUITTON” With Thundercat & Maeta On New Song

Vic Mensa just dropped “STRAWBERRY LOUIS VUITTON,” a wondrous new single featuring Thundercat and Maeta. While the last we heard from the Chicago artist was his Black Star Line Festival in Ghana with Chance the Rapper, he’s still grinding that music. Moreover, this new track sees Vic in a new sonic direction, integrating lush instrumentation and beautiful harmonies.

Furthermore, this new song will likely land on Mensa’s upcoming album, which he said is already done. Still, fans knew the 29-year-old to be a versatile artist from the jump. Moreover, he’s dabbled with hip-hop, electronic music, punk, and a few other similar genres. As such, “STRAWBERRY LOUIS VUITTON” might not even be the main sonic pallet on his next project.

However, with a lot of guitar promo on his social media right now, it’s not a bad guess, either. Overall, this song features a bright and layered soundscape for the artists to explore, with deep bass, steady percussion, and vocal harmonies galore. Also, contributing guests Thundercat and Maeta provide some amazing vocal contrasts to Vic’s emphatic rap flows and smooth vocal lines.

All artists soar over this production, and it makes for a soothing and remarkably chilled-out song. Given this trippy direction for the “Liquor Locker” artist, his most recent community effort makes sense. Moreover, he donated about $10,000 in gas (no, not that gas) and pre-rolled joints (yes, that gas) to Chicago residents.

Still, what did you think of this new Vic Mensa song, “STRAWBERRY LOUIS VUITTON” featuring Thundercat and Maeta? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and check out some standout lyrics from the single down below. Also, if you haven’t heard it yet, you can find the track on your preferred streaming service. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the best new music every day.
