First Time Hearing - Gorillaz Feel Good Inc. | Reaction

[@HBC423]

It’s one man doing the music, one man doing the visuals, both white and British … with random rappers and other musicians making guest appearances

[@timhaines2894]

For the sake of clarity, the rappers here are De La Soul. For those of us that were there, De La are legendary.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

Yeah they collab with artists from everywhere. And the main singing voice from 2d is Damon too.

[@HairyHarpy]

Gorillaz is the band (the cartoonz) and the rap is de La soul.

[@TheGoIsWin21]

A lot of other people have explained the mechanics of what Gorillaz _is_ I think the best way to think of it is they're not a band, they're a "music project". Its all over the board with a litany of people contributing as needed to fit the vibe and tone of each particular track.

[@Astroenby]

The band has a full history despite being made up. the rappers in this song is De la soul

[@RVMRNNR]

The frontman is the singer from Blur. everyone knows their song "Song 2." WAHOOO!

[@whynow7035]

I imagined Yosemite Sam when you said wahooo lmaoo

[@playboy-music]

immediately thought of gorillaz' the swagga when I read the wahoo part

[@rodrigocardenasholik8914]

Gorillaz is an animated band when it come to music clips. When they perfom live, sometimes they appear in flesh. Like the other comment said, go to "Clint Eastwood" and then, if I may suggest "1999".

[@beckicave7611]

Gorillaz has always been an animated band (except for life performances.) Singer - 2-D Male guitarist - Murdoc Female guitarist - Noodle Drummer - Russel 2 white British men are the genius behind my favourite band ever. Damon Albarn does the vocals of 2-D. Another man does the animation and they feature a lot of guest stars.

[@ThePimpSadOfficial]

There is also a black man Remi Kabaka

[@neoklast]

murdoc is bass guitarist

[@rakov18]

Gorillaz its a project band, thats why it has a lot of guests like rappers DJs, tame impala, etc.

[@stevenanderson912]

This is the lead singer of the band Blur Damon Albarn he comes from the south of England and he is white Gorilla’s are an animation group try the song Clint Eastwood next another great hit of there’s 👍🏻😜🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@luvix2mini]

Btw this isnt a black band lol this band is more British then queen Elizabeth

[@joeortiz6422]

😂😂😂😂😂.

[@Velchat3]

Black people can be british. I think you mean a white band lol

[@johnnyking3719]

They not faceless, theyre goats

[@markhughes8314]

Blur is the band behind it, if no one has mentioned it. (sure they have) Look up "Song 2" by blur.

[@boodahbass]

damon albarn is huge on collaboration for gorillaz. their discography is plentiful with features from lots of different genres from gospel, dub, hip-hop, classic and underground rock. its a little corny to say but ive always felt theyve had their own genre!

[@Michael_A284]

The band is mix race. Two white guys who are British even if Murdoc is slowly turns green, Noodle is the Asian, and Russel the African American.

[@SoulFeather111]

IT DOESN'T MATTER!! IT IS A FULL ASS VIBE! Why question the tranquility?

[@luvix2mini]

I WAS LIT CRYING WHEN HE SAID ANIME😢😢😢

[@SylvesterTemple]

(Doing my normal drifting around reactors, checking out people experiencing this for the first time.....) So, the band is the singer (David Albarn - used to sing in a BritPop group by the name of Blur) and the animator (can never remember his name, but he did the artwork for a comic series called Tank Girl) - a lot of the songs have guest artists, in this case, De La Soul, who were one of the trailblazers of the rap/hip-hop scene. Other tracks of Gorrilaz have different rappers and different musicians on them - I'd suggest Clint Eastwood as the next one to check out. The band are... virtual - they originally only existed as cartoons, with even their concerts being the cartoons with session musicians playing the instruments live on stage. As to what type of music it is? Normally, I'd file this under Alternative, simply because there's almost no-one else in the music scene like Gorillaz... And for a track that's over 20 years old now it still feels as fresh today as it did when it first came out.....

[@CeeJay_thestoicwitch]

Gorillaz is the ...brainchild of the former vocalist of Blur and animated/drawn by the artist of the Tank Girl comics... There are 4 "band members" and the rappers in this song are De La Soul This song is actually really dark, about the state of the world and the music industry (in 2005 already)

[@dcg4mn]

Yeah basically a core band of 4 (I think)😏 with Albarn as lead writer & performer, they mix genres and feature a lot of guest musicians rappers. Saw them at the Apollo 😎

[@gchampi2]

Gorillaz are... complicated. They are the worlds first "virtual" band, a band that doesn't exist, a lead singers side-gig, and possibly the single largest musical collaboration in music history. Perhaps best regarded as a "Concept Band", where their songs and albums can both stand as individual pieces, while simultaneously being part of a continuity and story. Like I said, it's complicated...

[@flyingardilla143]

Never thought I would see the day a Bass Pro Shops hat could be cool. ;-)

[@shamarmittelholzer2985]

nah the rapper is a feature. Gorrillaz do indie music i believe. but they mix it up a lot. they got some mad feautures from different cultures which is great. they did one with popcaan from jamaica( im from the caribbean, south america exactly). they make vybes not music. on a different note aerica is fucked up. why were you so happy to see a black guy. lmao thats some really fucked up psychological shit. im mixed(black, white, amerindian, and east indian) and im from the caribean where racism exists but damn its fucked up how it affects psycho-social dynamics in interactions. back to the gorillaz. their music just makes you happy or hyped. check out saturn bars ft popcaan garage palace ft little simz humility with jack black or the more popular songs clint eastwood dare

[@johnrobinson9711]

Little Stranger covers "Clinteastwood" with a rasta vide, so good.

[@EvilStitch]

I have to recommend Clint Eastwood and Dirty Harry. They're both classic Gorillaz songs. I've been a fan of Gorillaz for 10 years. Also on your own time you should check out their self titled debut album Gorillaz and Demon Days from beginning to end, especially Demon Days. That's all you need to hear in order to get hooked or not.

[@loireloire482]

❤️❤️ you make sense man They’re a concept band headed by Damon Albarn from Blur De la soul featured ❤️

[@Vincisomething]

This animated band actually has lore

[@hebburncurly]

Damon Albarn collaborates with loads of artists, this time De La Soul, all amazing and all sound different

[@tirpitzvsiowa]

I LIKE THIS SONG... GREETINGS FROM VENEZUELA

[@SwearyCyclist]

Now do Dare from Gorillaz

[@quasarkid]

oddly dope is the best way to describe damon albarn

[@roderickturner9806]

If I may make a suggestion, if you're gonna try to analyze a song do a little research on it first. This isn't anime, just animation because it not Japanese influence. The rapper is Trulogy from De La Soul.

[@boogniche142]

"wait he black!!" 💀

[@djpeternice]

De La Soul is spittin'

[@honeydewof7975]

If you like this, you should check out Dirty Harry!

[@SouthSquatch2222]

🎉🎉I HOPE U SAW MY LAST COMMENT TO REACT TO DAVE MATHEWS BAND ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER RED ROCKS.AND PHIL COLLINS LIVE IN THE AIR TONGHT

[@ivantomasini2987]

Duo rappers is Dela Soul

[@shamarmittelholzer2985]

imma ubscribe for the gorillaz content or you should react to pete and bas -generals corner freestyle for some really new rap flow and delivery

[@nolansteiner4771]

try 'dare' next, their videos have some of the same anime characters.

[@maine420grow]

Interracial/interdementional baby

Get the cool shoeshine.

[@GrymsArchive]

Has no idea who de La soul is 🤣

[@CNomeysWorld]

Yo, where where u ??? Never heard of them fr ? U missed out on so much!!! That’s so sad! 😢 tbh u need to do research tho a whole world will open and confuse u even more lol 😅

[@mattking5936]

Why can't you just enjoy it without needing to know if it's a black group or not?

[@isaiahhellems7901]

So focused on race. Focus on the music.

[@Imdevantewarner]

Shut up

[@Al-ri3mt]

Do three minutes of research, BRUH
