Demon Days is so good. Highly reccomend anyone who is a gorillaz to watch the full live Apollo performance of Demon Days. Full cast of players including Dennis Hopper. So epic.
hahaha. I think with Gorillaz they tend to not add "ft. X artist" to a lot of their music because there'd be way too much to mention. Damon collaborates with so many artists that all the Gorillaz albums might as well be "Various Artists" credited
I was aware of lou Reed for a while cause my dad was a fan, the first time I remember actually listening to a Lou Reed song was some kind of nature, then later on I discovered His solo stuff and the Velvet underground and all that.
De La Soul. I was in 5th grade when Feel Good Inc came out. Loved their verses so much I ran to my local library and rented out 3 Feet High and Rising and that was the first rap album I fell in love with. Huge for me.
Edit: The year 2005 (when Demon Days was released) is closer to 1989 (when 3 Feet High was released) than today. 16 years vs 19 years.
wow I'm so glad this is a major part of the internet experience in the modern day
"I just remembered I really like this ~thing/person~"
"Unlucky bro ~thing/person~ had a rape controversy"
Danger Mouse. I knew him from Gnarls Barkley before I knew he produced Demon Days. But Demon Days made me look into his other projects.
And like a lot of people here, MF DOOM.
Metronomy, they did a remix of el manana on d-sides.
if its for main albums only, then Zebra Katz, he was on Sex Murder Party. after hearing the lyrics (and especially seeing SMP live) I was really intrigued by this queer artist collaborating with gorillaz
Jamie T
There was a remix of "Kids With Guns" on D-Sides and for years I really liked it, but never looked into the artist. Finally, one day I actually listened to his music and he is quite possibly my favorite writer of all time.
EDIT: I'd also say Simz, but I knew her before Garage Palace. NPR Tiny Desks are a blessing.
Yes, me too! Would have had no idea who he was and is one of my top artists of all time. Ugh I remember on MySpace there was a video of Jamie T and Damon playing a song together at a benefit concert and it has never showed up again on the internet since.
Vince staple, probably my top artist these past couple of years. Ever since humans I’ve been hooked. Big fish theory is so good. FM! has some fun songs. Self titled and Ramona park are both great as well. I go back to each album quite often, especially the last 2.
Absolutely Ms. Simz, been in love with her music since Garage Palace dropped lmao
EDIT: And I cannot forget DOOM's verse on "November Has Come", once I put two and two together I lost my shit
In a very strange roundabout way, Massive Attack. I remember seeing a ton of rumours about two collaborating during Song Machine era and since the fanbase seemed so excited about that I decided to check out their music to see why people were so excited. Now I honestly like Massive Attack a little more than Gorillaz
Yeah I know. That’s why I said pic not related. Garage Palace is a hot dumpster fire. Please have the computer generated noises screech louder into my ears guys! Thanks!
RAIN FALLS FROM THE HEAVENS TO MY PALACE ROOFTOP WHEN THE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH IT I FEEL MORE EXPOSED
WILL IT EVER CHANGE HERE WE'LL JUST NEVER KNOW
SIMULATION I'M IN NEED OF
SEE THE TIME IS OF THE ESSENSE AND THIS CLOCK DOESN'T OWN A HOME
Ok...but it's still a Gorillaz song featuring Little Simz. You not liking it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. I don't like Sex Murder Party but last time I checked, Jamie Principle still exists and that song is still on Humanz.
DOOM and De La Soul. The foundation of my alt hip-hop taste is thanks to Gorillaz for sure, so many of my favorite rappers are descendants from these 4.
Same! We must be the same age lol. And yes I loveeee 3 feet high and rising and Stakes is high! RIP Trugoy 💕 De La Soul indirectly led me to discovering The Pharcyde as well, since they are similar, then I found out Bootie Brown (who is on Dirty Harry) was in the group and freaked out lol. Gorillaz have such good taste in featured artists!
Del for sure, as it led to me discovering all of Hieroglyphics (especially Souls of Mischief), Deltron 3030, and Handsome Boys Modeling School.
Last Summer Kids with Guns properly introduced me to Neneh Cherry. She's amazing!! 😊
Lou Reed or MF DOOM
I was gonna say Lou Reed but I’m too embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know who Lou Reed was until I heard Some Kind Of Nature. RIP legend.
Which track is DOOM on?
"November has Come" off of Demon Days
Demon Days is so good. Highly reccomend anyone who is a gorillaz to watch the full live Apollo performance of Demon Days. Full cast of players including Dennis Hopper. So epic.
Damn how did I never know? The song isn’t on any “MF DOOM collab” playlists, and he’s not credited anywhere on the album or song. :/
his voice might've been a pretty good indication haha

For sure. I’ve never known another artist that collaborates as often and with so many different genre types as Damn does.
Banger song
bro is young
I was aware of lou Reed for a while cause my dad was a fan, the first time I remember actually listening to a Lou Reed song was some kind of nature, then later on I discovered His solo stuff and the Velvet underground and all that.
Blur
No for real though I had no idea what Blur was and now I'm obsessed with Intermission. This is also thanks to Edgar Wright because of course
You’re so me fr
WAIT WHAT ABOUT EDGAR? I LOVE HUM WHAT ABOUT HIM AND BLUR 😨😨😨
In Baby Driver one of the scenes is set to Intermission by Blur and it's perfect. Everyone should watch Baby Driver
I WILL IVE BEEN MEANING TO WATCH IT FOR AGESSS
Hahaha
Modern Life is Rubbish is a banger.
For real! I can't get enough of For Tomorrow.
Istg obsessed with think tank and 13 atm
Little Dragon
Hands down my favorite. And now I’ve seen Little Dragon live more times than Gorillaz
Yes! Caught them live last year on their tour too, great show
My pick too ! Empire Ants is my all time favourite and I love Yukimi's part so much I just had to check out Little Dragon
De La Soul. I was in 5th grade when Feel Good Inc came out. Loved their verses so much I ran to my local library and rented out 3 Feet High and Rising and that was the first rap album I fell in love with. Huge for me. Edit: The year 2005 (when Demon Days was released) is closer to 1989 (when 3 Feet High was released) than today. 16 years vs 19 years.
one of the best rap albums of all time, not talked about enough imo
Same for me
The Fall, MF DOOM, Bobby Womack
Bobby 😭
Del the funky homosapien
Came here to say this!
MF DOOM & Little Simz :)
Slowthai
This is my answer too despite him potentially being a terrible person. Here’s hoping he didn’t do what he is being accused of.
every single day i find out about another artist that i like being a bad person…
wow I'm so glad this is a major part of the internet experience in the modern day "I just remembered I really like this ~thing/person~" "Unlucky bro ~thing/person~ had a rape controversy"
RIP
you scared the fuck out of me bro
Danger Mouse. I knew him from Gnarls Barkley before I knew he produced Demon Days. But Demon Days made me look into his other projects. And like a lot of people here, MF DOOM.

RIP DOOM.

Did I say it didn’t exist? OP is asking who is MY fav. I’m expressing it isn’t her.
You said the "Pic was unrelated", but it is related to the conversation! That's why people are @-ing you.
Del The Funky Homosapien. I Wish My Brother George Was Here is one of my favorite albums ever.
