This is like bohemian rhapsody's drunk nephew

Just to clarify, the word "shit" is used 69 times in this song. That's right, 69 times.

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

The moment the song stops for that horrific “ITS ALL ABOUT ME” is just monumentally cool

Converse didn't know what they were getting into

I feel like Andre 3000 is very humble.

For a song to sponsor shoes. Andre really puts his whole soul into that nervous breakdown freestyle

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.

One take?!? Fuuuuuuuuuccckkkkk!!!???!!!

i think this song symbolizes how he is the shit

"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.

The first 4 minutes are just the intro to the real song.

Converse: Hey, We need a so- Gorrilaz & Andre 3000: *I'M THE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT*

"you cant have a piece of my pie im the shit"

6:57 dunno why but i love his "OH IT'S ALL ABOUT ME" getting distorted, just sounds so good

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!"

If you wanna hear Andre slowly go insane this is for you.

There's no way james murphy worked on thi- *there's a 13 minute jam version* oh there's james murphy

0:00 The Party 4:25 The After Party 9:50 The Morning After Hangover

I’m glad this isn’t on Spotify bc I’d get 45 speeding tickets

Converse: “So we just need a quick little song, about 3 minutes to sell our snea-“ André 3000: “13 minutes? I’m on it.”

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.

*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.*

Why does no one give James Murphy the credit he deserves on this

Am I the only one who thinks the production quality in the "I'm the shit" part is fucking amazing?

Do Ya Thing but everytime Andre says "im the shit" it gets faster

This is the epitome of when everyone does their bit in a group project

I've been sleeping on Andre 3000, his flow is such a vibe.

What a nice song sponsored by converse we have here, surely Andre 3000 won’t lose his fucking mind halfway through

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.

still cant believe this was a promotional ad for converse, like it SLAPS and it was for an ad??? insane.

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

This song is called “do ya thing”, cause that’s what Andre 3000 did.

Sweat: collected Mind: broken Guitar: brapping Me: the shit

It´s MY manic episode and I choose the MUSIC

This is probably one of the best motivational songs ever made. Whenever I'm down, feeling insignificant, I play this and sing along, scream along, just yell it out there and it's like a mental reset button.

The other 2/3 of the song are andre 300 having a mental breakdown, but it sounds good

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

Everyone keeps mentioning Andre and here I am imagining James Murphy laughing like a maniac while providing instrumentals to Andres meltdown

What a delightful collab song, surely Andre 3000 will not absolutely lose his shit.

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.

6:45 Andre says "Can't even walk away from the mic" with 6 more minutes left on the track

This is the best Gorillaz song. They truly did their thing

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.

Man, noodle and Russell changed...

Best alarm ever,imagine waking up and hearing: "I'm ThE sHiT"

I love how Andre brings himself down and humbling himself after discussing how godly he is.

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.

am i the only one that loves the way andre says "bloop de bloop"

Damon: "Yo André, when we asked you for a breakdown, that's not what we meant." André: *_" I ' M T H E S H I T "_*

This song is so fire Spotify and apple music can't handle it

Damon: alright we got that bit done, let’s work on the breakdown Andre 3000: I ‘ M T H E S H I T Damon: NOT THAT KIND OF BREAKDOWN

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

beans...

A moment of silence for my Geep converse I left on the bus omw to College (I was going a mixed course if anyone was wondering, I liked vehicle maintenance the most since I could tinker with scrap cars and no get in too much trouble if I mess it up 😂)

10:23 why is no one talking about *_when you the mayonnaise and the mustard you can’t relish in it_* that part sent me

"I don't know why, but I'm the shit!" Surprisingly profound line for that section of the song lol.

Damon: "all right boys that's a wra-" Andre 3000: "I'M THE SHIT" Damon: "turn the mic back on but nobody tell him."

wait didn’t catch that andre.... what are you?

i think this song as a kid conditioned me to connect fully with lcd soundsystem's music as a young adult

I didn't quite catch that, Andre. What did you say you were?

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"_

Song: Do Ya Thing Andre3000: "And I took that personally"

This song always feels like 1/2 the time it actually is

Converse: we need a song promoting our product gorillaz: hold my beer.

I wanna see kids bop cover this.

André: "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH I'M THE SHIIIIIIIIIT!!!!" 9:23 : "i don't even have to scream.. "

Producers: Hey Andre you ok Andre: IM THE SHIT!! Damon: Yeah he’s the shit

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

Andre 3000 has gone super saiyan...

If this did end up being there last song I couldn’t think of a better one to end on

This is one of the best Gorillaz songs of all time in my book

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.

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

André certainly did his thing, I'll give him that

I love when Andre said "I'm the shit" and then shit all over the place. Truly the song ever

64. I count 64 times.

No one: Gorillaz: Andre 3000: *entering God mode in the booth*

PLEASE RELEASE THIS MASTERPIECE ON SPOTIFY AND IG MUSIC!!!

I think... I think this guy the shit 😮

Damon: *backs away slowly*

The word shit is said exactly 69 times in this song.

[Verse 1: 2D] I'm a pale imitator of a boy in the sky With a cap in his head and a knot in his tie I'm the light in the mall when the power is gone A shadow in a corner, just playing along I'm only laying in my bed, I'm rolling aside But if a get a car, I'm hoping to ride Because I know if I ever say, "I'm leaving" to you You've gotta volunteer, and you don't know what to do You'd sigh [Chorus: James Murphy] You wanna do it, but you don't know what you're doing, baby (A-a-a-a-aah) You wanna feel it but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Alright, how are we doing?) And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby (A-a-a-a-aah) You do more thinking and I'll go out and make it alright (Alright, how do you do?) [Verse 2: 2D] I'm impregnable, incredible, and set in the quo I’m a late in my rider, not a heart and soul I got a Saturday night, and nothing is dead And if I ever had to do it, well, you know I wouldn’t care I just get down, I love when I’m seen And if I wanna talk back, the message is free Then there’s a fire, a ray, a knot in sight And if you get my tip, you get 'em a lot You get a heart, ache [Chorus: James Murphy] You wanna do it, but you don't know what you're doing, baby (A-a-a-a-aah) You wanna feel it but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Alright, how are we doing?) And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby (A-a-a-a-aah) You do more thinking and I'll go out and make it alright (Alright, how do you do?) [Post-Chorus: Andre 3000] Every time we try, we get nowhere Wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people? Yeah Trying so hard to act like we don't care But it's true you do, nothing is left so I guess I'm right [Verse 3: André 3000] New word - onomatopoeia (Boom) Quit acting like you don't wanna be here Fuck around and get jumped like leap year Glock in the glove make you really wanna leave me alone Get the fuck on, gone Okay, okay, okay, back to the happy song Rap ain't nothing but the art of talking shit My girl look pretty up there riding dick My plaid past, my solid future Asinine ass and a gorgeous coochie I'm an outcast but you're into me Summer got mad 'cause winter blew me That juicy fruit, that splooshy sploosh Generation X on bloopty-bloop Get doop, gotta get doopty doop Everybody hit the floor, we through the roof Like a chimney, I commend me How come it be some lame ass nigga talking about, "Ah, he don't rap enough?" But y'all rap a lot, and I'm like wrap it up, ho You ain't Scarface, you ain't Willie D You ain't Bushwick, you ain't killin' me Better play with your motherfucking mama Bet you still stay with your motherfucking mama Keep sleeping on me, I'mma rock my pajamas In the daytime, I swear, I promise Dare a nigga say something, tear a nigga face off How come blacks don't play baseball? Y'all white, know y'all can taste all This fly shit, I stay finna take off [Refrain: André 3000] Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang You ain't fresh squeezed juice, nigga you that Tang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Is you really Slick Rick? Nope, you Dana Dane [Verse 4: André 3000] Let it up, head erupts A lava language and the vocal volcanic (Yeah) If it ain't fixed, don't broke it, don't panic (Yeah) If it ain't hits, it ain't shit, goddamnit (Yeah) If it ain't this, it ain't dope, it don't flush And if it ain't hip or don't hop, well then hush "Man they sound like-" "Man they stole your-" "Man they look like-" Nope, it ain't us [Refrain: André 3000] Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Is you really Slick Rick? Nope, you Dana Dane Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang Yee ain't fresh squeezed juice, nigga you that Tang [Bridge: André 3000] Every time we try, we get nowhere Wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people? Yeah Trying so hard to act like we don't care, I don't care But it's true you do, nothing is left, so I guess I'm right Flip the page, our days are revelations, hide! Space is strange, doctor, I've got no patience! Oh, it's all a part of the process (Okay, okay) Nothin's new, it's true, cool, I admit, shit, I guess you're right!

it's been 10 years and this legend never used ads

I think 4:30 is what 2-D meant by Noodle's guitar sounding like '200 demons screaming in Arabic'.

when I heard this song I thought the extra 10 minites were "do ya damn thing, do ya thing, ya thing" I got a mental breakdown instead

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.

Why are all my favorite songs so unhinged

_imagine a censored version of the "im the shit" part_

It's such a simple line, but "I'M THE SHIT" just hypes me up so much and makes me believe I can do anything.

6:59 is fucking awesome for no good reason

Everyone sit down *The Shit™ is standing up*

Nothing like sharing shoes.

So if Andre 3000 is in this and Ace is in Gorillaz now, Does this mean Class of 3000 and Powerpuff Girls are cannonically in the same universe?

i wish this whole ass song was on spotify ngl it slaps hard

Everyone saying Andre 3000 is having a mental breakdown obviously has never had an actual breakdown before. Dude is having fun

"Okay, okay, back to the happy zone." *Leaps into hell like a second later*

sooooooo just to clarify, this extended version is just andre 3000 calling himself the shit for 8 minutes

"That juicy fruit, that splooshy sploosh. Generation X on bloopy bloop. Get doop, gotta get doopty doop."

Teacher: "john, please come to the teachers desk" Everyone in the room: 12:35
