"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.

Converse: Hey, We need a so-


Gorrilaz & Andre 3000: *I'M THE

[Boo.]

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

[Kittyhat]

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

[rheawelsh]

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

[oscarbarnett]

Converse didn't know what they were getting into

[angmering]

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.

[earls]

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.

[jango]

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

[winterskko]

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

[myveryuncreativeuser]

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

[keepyoureyespeeled]

I feel like Andre 3000 is very humble.

[shiggy]

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

[possum]

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

[venomoid.]

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

[Ragnarons]

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

[msburner]

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

[adorno_gang]

i think this song symbolizes how he is the shit

[theabsolutecat]

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

[tallysvideoemporium]

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

[cynforthewin]

This is like bohemian rhapsody's drunk nephew
