"I don't even have to sing in key!"
you ain't Willie B
pitchfork:
"That [long version] was the fun part," Murphy explained. "When André started singing, Damon and I just looked at each other, like, 'Holy shit, we love his voice.' Then Damon sang, and his voice is amazing, too. We'd been working and playing keyboards in the little studio room and, in a weird way, you could forget that Damon has this really distinct voice that's like a part of your history."
Pitchfork: André's vocals on the 12-minute version sound really spontaneous, was that a one-take deal?
Damon Albarn: Yeah, you don't repeat that. I was inspired by him, and my opening was a one-take as well. The only problem is I'm not as good at ad-libbing, in the sense of it making sense, so mine's a bit more in tongues.

Shit, obviously.
*_d e e p_* sh*t
IM THE SHIT
converse musta been like "hey so yall make a song whatever u want go crazy" and damon took that as "time to experiment the most i ever have"
Do Ya Thing but everytime Andre says "im the shit" it gets faster
*Total time* : 0:01
Then it'd be as long as half an EP.
It’s 6 minutes long
Do ya thing but every word it gets faster

This is like bohemian rhapsody's drunk nephew
🤣
A year late but based pfp
so true
😂😂❤❤
as a prog rock fan, i despise your ignorance
I love how as soon as Andre 3000 started going off Murphy and Albarn immediately recognized that their one mission right now was to keep this man talking for as long as possible
😂😂😂
and to his credit he doesnt fucking stop, its incredible.
i think this song symbolizes how he is the shit
Did you find that hidden meaning all on your own or did you have help
the great and holy spirit has spoken
Henry Koski i used traditional christian imagery and bible interpretations
Johan Delvare no magic at all right?
Drugs are bad, m'kay?
I feel like Andre 3000 is very humble.
Travis Likes Movies no he’s the shit
so humble he made an entire band of clones of himself
He's the shit and you know it
One hundred likes for every minute he sings
I love how he is as some people would say “the shit” but he never brings up his popularity or skill
The moment the song stops for that horrific “ITS ALL ABOUT ME” is just monumentally cool
my favorite moment in the whole song
gives me chills every time
6:59 !!
I read your comment just as it happened
I luv Andre 3000
For 5 years, this was the last ever Gorillaz song. Imagine the fans back before Humanz was first being teased having this masterpiece as their last example of what Gorillaz sounded like.
I was there feelstrong
now I understand why ppl didn't like Humanz. I'm going to be real- as someone who got into this fandom around sound machine, I actually like Humanz a decent amount. But if you compare its sound to this... Well, I suddenly understand the fandom's perspective on Humanz. Humanz is pretty good, but it isn't this.
I remember when this song came out. This was after the peak of my gorillaz obsession because the band disbanded around 2010. This song released in 2012 or 2013 and it was alongside a Gorillaz Shoe that was made by Converse (Hence why everyone is wearing High Tops in the photo.) So they really left a lot to look foward to and then we didn't hear anything until around 2015/16.
i don't have to imagine i lived that era 😭
@@Kmi_Sama Don't feel sad about it, you survived that drought of info after all
Alternate title: andre 3000 having a mental breakdown and slowly losing his mind in the studio as damon adds backround music for 13 minutes and 7 seconds
The background music is clearly James Murphy
IM THE SHIT
Soqquadro my bad
Damon is just vibing whole Andre is just shouting in the background and James Murphy is just crying
Thank you K1-B0, very cool!
This song is called “do ya thing”, cause that’s what Andre 3000 did.
Purplecartiii I’m the shit
He did His Thing
And how. XD
I mean, that's what they all did. The blend of styles and musical talent is impeccable
He did his damn thang, his thang a thang
"i can piss on it im the shit, i can fart on it im the shit" lyricism that really changes your perspective here. i'm unequivocally moved. i don't think i'll ever see music the same way again.
TIMESTAMP PLS

i knew i wasn't hearing things omg

Literally got to this part while reading this comment LOL
The first 4 minutes are just the intro to the real song.

Gorillaz, Andre 3000, James Murphy! These artists were hired to make the perfect converse commercial song! But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient! "I'm the shit!"

Just to clarify, the word "shit" is used 69 times in this song. That's right, 69 times.
:I reminds me of Nicki Minaj song that always said "Nigga"
Ryan Duffy i missed 5, only counted 64
69 am I right?
nice
Nice
Damon: "all right boys that's a wra-" Andre 3000: "I'M THE SHIT" Damon: "turn the mic back on but nobody tell him."

*André 3000 is the only rapper to ever successfully do the “I’m the shit” verse without backing himself into a corner of comparing himself to literal shit.*
he did
“sometimes i feel i am the shit, sometimes i feel that i’m shit”
for some reason it still wasnt corny
this is the greatest "i'm the shit" ever recorded

We all love that part.
Thanks for timestamping it
@@justsumdood8351 ^^^^^
idk why but his little scream afterwards is so funny
Thank you for reminding me how much I love that shit
Why does no one give James Murphy the credit he deserves on this
Gorillaz and Andre are just more popular, I think. But yeah, James kills it here!
A lot of people think of this as a Gorillaz song because they're known for collaborating with features a lot and Andres the more famous musician compared to James Murphy, it's pretty dumb but it's how it is. James also sings the least so yea.
@@hunterh4064 i'm convinved james is the only reason we got a 13 minute long cut
cuz you can't really tell what he's doing, he didn't provide vox on the song
@@harrykeepdrums he sings on it multiple times lmao
If you wanna hear Andre slowly go insane this is for you.

he wasn't already? ;P
Converse: we need a song promoting our product gorillaz: hold my beer.
S.C. Wood *hold my peppermint tea*
Nah it would be Gorillaz : hold my mic
Hold my white light
I still have my Gorillaz converse, still wear them

I’m glad this isn’t on Spotify bc I’d get 45 speeding tickets
this comment is so funny to me ive been thinking about it for months
i love that andre's first verse is a really fucking good rap, crazy flow and tons of great rhymes, and then he just follows that up with I'm The Shit for like 10 minutes
What a nice song sponsored by converse we have here, surely Andre 3000 won’t lose his fucking mind halfway through

I feel like not enough people are appreciating the art shown here, really brings out the personality of all of them, ESPECIALLY 2D and Andre.
Agreed
Give some credit to james murphy aswell, he's basically kill it on the production.
Man, noodle and Russell changed...
Yeah, noodle got really green
Dibwitzle russel looks the same
Shut up woosh didn't work like that.

Man Russell got ripped. I think noodle forgot to shave...
Andre 3000 did his entire verse in one take. With that information I want you to focus on everytime he takes a breath in his part.
that's absolutely insane
Oh, it's Andre 3000 because he inhales 3,000 times
Does that include the "I'm the shit" part?
@@LocalHolehead Yes.

@@yvngp00t96 James is the producer, this sounds a lot like his other material from LCD Soundsystem, that's what he was getting at I think
This does sound a lot like an LCD Soundsystem song, of course with Andre 3000 going insane, so idk really
It´s MY manic episode and I choose the MUSIC
I've been sleeping on Andre 3000, his flow is such a vibe.
I feel like everyone in the studio knew the Converse executives wouldn't bother listening past the first few minutes and spent the rest of the track taking the piss out of them.

This is the best Gorillaz song. They truly did their thing
The word shit is said exactly 69 times in this song.

I can just imagine them finishing the 4-minute version and being like "Yeah, this sounds pretty good!" and then Andre just started yelling "I'M THE SHIT" into the mic over and over. And then they made that a selling point for the record.

Bonnie who the hell says rad these days?
+Bonnie That's exactly what happened.
+DERPAKUS i agree FNaF is a gay-ass game but dont be a dick about it
+Bonnie Yeah, they should be.
Andre 3000's performance on this song will forever be phenomenal. the fact that this was all one take and ad libbed cements this song as legendary.
I love how Andre brings himself down and humbling himself after discussing how godly he is.
No one: Gorillaz: Andre 3000: *entering God mode in the booth*
Andre Six Thousand
Andre 9000
Andre 12000
Andre fifteen thousand
andre 18000
I can only imagine how the conversation went when they were first recording this song "so we have the original song that's 4 minutes long right" "yeah" "can we just add an extra 9 minutes of me yelling 'IM THE SHIT' over and over again" ... _"hell yeah"_
Pretty Much
IM THE SHIT

The song was never meant to be 13 mins but Andre 3000 just kept going so they just added so that's where we got the 13 min version
Wait, really?
@@benfos8109 yea man
And it's amazing 😂
Heh, reminds me of this line... "That song doesn't usually last 3 hours, but we got into a serious thing...and then I forgot how it ended."
Damn
6:45 Andre says "Can't even walk away from the mic" with 6 more minutes left on the track
Notice that gap right before that line? Pretty sure he says he CAN even walk away from the mic.... BECAUSE HE JUST DID.
@@RadioJosiah I think he probably moved away to get something while they were still recording and wanted to show off that he could actually do that and keep rapping after... Wich neat flex imo.
andre said in an interview that when he said that line he actually walked out the vocal booth to the control room with the mic in his hand and started running around the studio lmao

I don't remember what I was thinking when I typed this
during the the whole "I'm the shit section" 2-D is standing there awkwardly scratching his wrist and staring at the ground. "are we done yet mate? No? oh-okay..."
He probably just had his back turned and started checking out his cell phone
Nah he's used to it, Murdoc probably does this after every recording, it's just not musical enough to actually include because he can't sing or rap properly.
More like cowering in the corner as Andre exploded
@@theplaguedoctor142 Yea, this sounds like at some point Andre's head started doing The Exorcist thing and 2-D was just stuck praying to make it out of the booth alive.
Everybody is in the same shoes
What a delightful collab song, surely Andre 3000 will not absolutely lose his shit.
his what?
HE IS THE SHIT
you're right, he surely won't, still hasn't.
He can’t lose his shit if he is the shit

@@jules6631 BAHAHAHHHAHAJSHS
I like to imagine that the last 9 minutes are just Andre having a complete, unscripted breakdown on stage and the rest of the band just sorta play along with it because they don't know what else to do
That's genuinely what happened tho, damon albarn just kept going with it and andre just kept going
@@oisind3593 W h a t
That’s more or less what happened. How sick is that? I don’t know of any other songs where Andre was allowed to just fire off like that. It sounds amazing
Gave a like to even out the number but i agree
i mean thats what happened but in the studio instead of on stage
Holy shit, I hope wherever Andre 3000 is right now, he is having a very nice day and drinking something very tasty. Bless that man for giving us this absolute masterpiece.

There's a song by Gorillaz that's longer than an episode of spongebob and I don't know what to do with that information
Ben Sweetser Well, the obvious course of action is to watch a random episode of Spongebob while playing this in the background. Should be interesting
13 minutes ain't shit. I think there's a Jethro Tull song that's like 45 minutes.
Mantorok Longest song I've fully listened to us Bring the Sun/Toussaint Louverture. 34 minutes iirc

makes sense
Paladin Luke and it’s the shit
Paladin Luke yeah sounds about right
true
It was actually sampled from daft punk
To me, this is close to being a perfect song. I've listened to it, without hyperbole, probably over a 100 times now. Each time I can't help listening to the full duration. It's so good
This whole song was a freestyle. Everyone ad-libbed their parts. Even Damon. Even Andre 3000.
I like how this song starts out at a steady pace, escalates into what I can only describe as a nervous breakdown, and just kind of putters out like coming down from a high.
Le Batteur It is a scarily relatable song for me.
You have just won the comment section
Less nervous breakdown, more manic episode
Shrooms for the first time lol
Imagine recording all of this with Andre then after he ends his part he goes "Yo when we startin' to record man !? I'm done warming up."
I wouldn’t mind an over 20 minute long Do Ya Thing

RHANK YOU I WAS LOOKING FOR THE LYRICS
@@fafnirlord aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Dude, this is such a unique take on a song. In terms of what a mental breakdown would sound like in song form, this is by far the absolute best example of it. You can just feel the raw emotion the more it descends into madness. I’m sure everyone has related to this song in one way or another, the way this song makes you feel like everything around you is overwhelming and crashing down around you… it’s literally so amazing how this song replicates that feeling. Trying to tell yourself that everything is OK and that, well, “I’m the shit”. I love how it ends with the song breaking and ending on that calmer note. I don’t quite know how I interpret the ending of this song yet, but I’ve literally listened to this song so many times at this point… so who knows. The 2D part is catchy as all hell, gets stuck in my head all the damn time. Andre 3000 though, he made this song his BITCH. It started with 2D, and ENDED with Andre. Absolutely underrated Gorillaz song and I love it so much. A bop throughout and it means a lot to me. 9/10
