Rhymes on the Mind…s
Welcome to the THIRD issue of Know Shit! This one’s about rhymes and finding absurd words to fit. Yes I used RhymeZone more than a bit, is that cheating? Should I be hit with a BEATING? This greeting is going off the rails, I should probably quit and bail before this intro fails. I’m flailing, my brain is starting to fizz and I’m running out of rhymes that there is. Only one thing left to say… Enjoy the quiz!
HINT #1: pay close attention to how each set of questions are grouped…

DoingTheirThing…
“DoYaThing” is a fantastic song that marks a unique collaboration between James Murphy of LCD sound system, Andre 3000 of Outkast and Damon Albarn of Gorillaz. You may not have heard of it however, because it’s not easily available on any of the traditional music streaming platforms (that’s how you know it’s cool).
The song was made as a part of a 2012 promotional series by Converse called “three artists one song” in which they brought together three unlikely artists and you guessed it… they made a song together. Other trios included Julian Casablancas, Pharrell and Santigold as well as Best Coast, Kid Cudi, and Rostam Batmanglij. I’m particularly a fan of the Pharrell/Casablancas/Santigold track “My Drive Thru” which came with a great music video.
Once completed, “DoYaThing” was released as a shortened radio edit by converse accompanied by a 5 minute music video.
HOWEVER the song truly shines in the (in my opinion) far superior extended version which stretches over thirteen minutes and features a ton more riffing from Andre 3000 over one prolonged take. The fast pace and intensity make it really good for listening during workouts and runs too!
The extended version of the song was released on the Gorillaz website, now the only way to access this version is on YouTube but it is definitely worth the trouble.
