The headline says it all! Outkast’s funkmaster Andre 3000 recently teamed up with James Murphy, the brain behind LCD Soundsystem, and Gorillaz for a new Converse collaboration project called DoYaThing.

Converse occasionally puts together incredible (and incredibly different) artists to release 1-song-collaboration- past team-ups included Julian Casablancas of the Strokes, Santogold, and Pharrell on guitar-driven fuck-pop-dance jam “My Drive Thru”. The radio edit of  “DoYaThing” (available for free download at Converse’s website and streaming below!) dropped TODAY, clocks in at 4 and a half minutes, and is a spicy cocktail of jitery psychadelic disco fuck juice- it’s really an incredible listen. There was also a 12+ minute editor’s cut release, available at the Gorillaz website.

During Andre 3000’s lightning-spit verse I was surprised and ecstatic to hear Andre 3000 shout out Bushwick! The exact lyrics go like this: Like a chimney, I commend me / How come it be / Some lame man, we can talk about / “Oh, he don’t rap enough” / But yeah I rap a lot and I’mma wrap it up, ho / Ye ain’ Scarface, ye ain’ Willie D, Ye ain’ Bushwick, ye ain’ killing me / Better play wit’ yo momitcha mama, Bet you can’t stay wi’ yo momitchka mama.

Now, I’m no lyrical interpreter, but it appears that he’s placing Bushwick on a pedastal, a level of greatness to be achieved, along the same lines of noteriety as Scarface and Willie D. Awesome. Thanks Andre 3000, we love you too! Edit: Ok, so it’s brought to our attention that maybe Andre 3000 was referring to Bushwick Bill, another member of Geto Boys. But, hell, we’ll still take it as a compliment.
