Gorillaz - Do Ya Thing (Full 13 Minutes Explicit Version) Feat. James Murphy & Andre 3000 

Converse didn't know what they were getting into

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

i think this song symbolizes how he is the shit

I feel like Andre 3000 is very humble.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is like bohemian rhapsody's drunk nephew

Man, noodle and Russell changed...

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 "_*

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

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.

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

I love how the first 4 minutes of this, that got turned into a music video, is a very good, more palatable mainstream hip-hop song but the rest of it that didn't get turned into a music video, is a nightmarish, experimental song of Andre 3000 having an intense mental breakdown over an increasingly hellish synth drone, this is a trip to hell masquerading as a mainstream hip hop song

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

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

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

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.

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!"

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

Fun Fact: Damon Albarn (2D) completely Ad-Libbed the entire song. Which means, he came up with the lyrics as the song went on. Literally INSANE. Another fun fact: the entire 2nd half was improvised because Andre kept going, so Damon and the rest of the group kept going with him. This just became my all time favorite gorillaz song (even tho it’s not their song.)

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

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

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

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

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

I like how none of the three artists sacrifice their creative traits, even when they’re not in their normal environment. James Murphy still made a long-winded cacophony of sounds, Damon Albarn still made a production hellscape, and André proved that he’s still great with freestyling. It’s honestly impressive.

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.

It'll never happen, but imagine if they performed this song live. Would be absolutely legendary, god damn

*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.*

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"_

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

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..."

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

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?

Man, listening to this after years of knowing the original version is like finding out you've been missing a sense your whole life and nobody thought to tell you

64. I count 64 times.

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

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

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

So we just gonna ignore the fact there's only 5 shoes

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

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

I wanna see kids bop cover this.

Lyrics: [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 playin' along! I'm gonna lay in my bed, I'm rolling aside But if a get a car, uh, I'm hoping to ride Because I know if I ever say, "I'm leaving." to you You've got a folding chair and you don't know what to do! You'd stop [Chorus: James Murphy] You wanna do it, but you don't know what you doing, baby, aah You wanna feel it, but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Oh, hey, how will we do it?) And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby, aah You go on thinking and you gonna make it alright! (Oh, hey, how will you do?) [Verse 2: 2D] I'm impregnable, incredible, and set in the quo I'm a late in my ride, and not a heart in soul I got Saturday night, enough been said And if I ever had to do it Well, you know I wouldn't care I'd just get down, I loving the feat And if I wanna talk back, the message is free Then there's a fire, a ray, and out in the sun And if you can’t partake, you get ‘em alive You get a heartbreak [Chorus: James Murphy] You wanna do it, but you don't know what you doing, baby, aah You wanna feel it, but you don't know what you're feeling tonight (Oh, hey, how will we do it?) And if you're thinking that I don't know what you're thinking, baby, aah You go on thinking and you gonna make it alright! (Oh, hey, how will 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, round, thick My plaid pants, my solid future Asinine ass and a gorgeous coocher 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?"

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

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

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.

Albarn: Alright! That sounds really good everyone! Good job! Murphy: Woo hoo! André: Aw yeah! I’m the s***! Albarn: Ok, new idea.

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 imagine the full 13 minute video would just be 2-d and murdoc beating the shit out of each other after he throws that shoe at 2d

beans...

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

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.

Andre 3000 has gone super saiyan...

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

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."

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

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

imagine what the music video would be like if it went on for the whole 13 minutes I’m just imagining Andre chasing around Murdoc and 2D while singing the rest of the song like he’s a home intruder

Andre 3000: Has a mental breakdown Damon: Let's add some background music.

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

Damon: *backs away slowly*

It's not a stretch to say that this 13-minute cut of this song is nothing short of an absolute exorcism of ego. Andre 3000 screaming "I'm the shit!" until he's fucking *red in the face* to the point where the confident facade has worn off and there's nothing left but his insecurities. This song is a masterpiece.

It´s MY manic episode and I choose the MUSIC

” I didn't really plan on cussin’, but sometimes it just slip *[SCREAMS] I'm the shit!* ” -Probably my favorite quote from a rap verse.

He's the what now?

I'll say it: The full version of this song is way better than the condensed single version.

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.

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

I FINALLY LISTENED TO ALL OF IT AFTER LIKE YEARS BC I DIDN'T WANNA FINISH IT AS A KID

Fun fact: The most said words in the extended version of doyathing is: i - said 150 times The - said 100 times M- said 80 times Shit - said 68 times

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.

7:37 "I don't even sweat" PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THAT THIS LINE WAS THE REASON THEY HAD SWEAT COLLECTORS IN THE MV!!D

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

Alternate title: Andre 3000 slowly loses his mind in 13 minutes

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

Nothing like sharing shoes.

Is Andre the shit? It wasn't quite clear

At least he didn't go ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT for 5 minutes.

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

I love how no one in this comment section recognizes how fantastic Andre 3000 did in his verse, or how well this song is made. All of them are just about, "lol im the shit".

I’m the shit - By: Andre 3000 Oh yeah and Gorillaz we forgot

6:58 andre calm down we get it

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

One of best Gorillaz tracks, but under appreciated.

Has anyone else noticed how unusually short 2D is in this artwork?

I just can’t find any music, not even another Gorillaz song, that does what this song does for me it’s so energetic
