"I don't even have to sing in key!"

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.

This song is called “do ya thing”, cause that’s what Andre 3000 did.
-
Converse didn't know what they were getting into
-
This is like bohemian rhapsody's drunk nephew
-
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
-
i think this song symbolizes how he is the shit
-
I feel like Andre 3000 is very humble.
-
The moment the song stops for that horrific “ITS ALL ABOUT ME” is just monumentally cool
-
The first 4 minutes are just the intro to the real song.
-
"you cant have a piece of my pie im the shit"
-
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.
-
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!!!???!!!
-
If you wanna hear Andre slowly go insane this is for you.
-
6:57 dunno why but i love his "OH IT'S ALL ABOUT ME" getting distorted, just sounds so good
-
"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.
-
Do Ya Thing but everytime Andre says "im the shit" it gets faster
-
What a nice song sponsored by converse we have here, surely Andre 3000 won’t lose his fucking mind halfway through
-
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
-
It´s MY manic episode and I choose the MUSIC
