Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner's 2020, "Dragonball Durag", is a deeply layered commentary on the unique relationship between African-American and Japanese peoples, taking two cultural staples created by each community, 'the durag' and 'Dragonball', and creating a portmanteau-esque amalgamation of both objects to create a tragic hero, a beautiful monster, a true Shakespearean ballad. In this, he negates ideologies of racism and anti-hegemony, proving that two things starkly distant in culture can indeed create a co-existent beauty, the "Dragonball Durag". Some critics have observed this to be Bruner's magnum opus, being that in a single body of work, he has effectively captured everything that to this point, we have been led to believe, embodies "Thundercat". Lines such as "I'ma keep on all my chains, when I'm making love to you" are deeply metaphorical, Bruner refers to the sexual chains enclaved upon him by global Northern societal 'rules', in which things like 'hentai' and 'tentacle porn' are so-called, 'obscene art-forms'. "Dragonball Durag" is a cultural landmark, it is a psalm of sexual empowerment, many believe it to be "the official unofficial pro-Palestine anthem", others call it the sonic embodiment of Rosa Parks, and it leaves us wondering where Bruner can possibly take his art, nay, his message, next.
Thundercat is a god. dude had a lot to do with TPAB That being said, him and his friends are absolutely insane
It seems like there was this revolving door of Uber talented and wild artists in LA who surrounded Mac Miller. Just a crazy scene
He’s playing mission ballroom right now. I couldn’t bring myself to go but I bet it’s going to be an incredible show
Good article on his family, they’re all super talented https://www.billboard.com/music/awa...onald-bruner-thundercat-the-internet-6875266/
Watching an earlier episode of the new season of Insecure and Satellite came on once the credits rolled
Didn't realize this thread existed. Saw him a couple weeks ago at the Greek out here in LA. He was great. Brought Donald Glover out too.
