Watch Thundercat's Samurai Love Story of a Video for "Them Changes"

Like Kurosawa and Seinfeld in one.

By now, we don't need to tell you that Thundercat's new mini-LP The Beyond/Where The Giants Roam is incredible. It embodies all of his best qualities, some you might've heard on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly this year. To further how great his output has been, he just dropped the video for "Them Changes," featuring Flying Lotus and Kamasi Washington, and directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada. For Thundercat, it might not be what you expect. The video features badass samurai warriors going at it, fucking each other up. You also get to see what happens when a great warrior loses his arms, and has to chill on the couch watching TV. It's a story about a relationship gone wrong, in a very obtuse way. Somehow from there, the video gets stranger and stranger, something you need to see immediately.
