That is some stankyyyy bass
Slappa da bass man
my favorite part
Is she actually even playing the bass though?
ely summerfield yes its just a simple riff with only a slide up to the 12th fret once every 4 bars.
ely summerfield nah she’s playing the guitar part and the bass is drowned by her guitar
I'm convinced she's also capable of sneezing with her eyes open.
Indigo Richardson I love this comment lmao
I think his female , lol
Damn😂😂😂I died ffs😂💀
why?
I can force my left eye to stay open when I sneeze cause I tried it for the first time last week 🤣☠️ but I guess I need to record it on slow mo tho for proof lol
The dim light with the all white guitars is visually stunning. It’s almost an homage to the Gorillaz playing live behind a screen
Is everyone going to ignore the fact they did their own verse? THAT WAS SICK! Best cover I've ever heard for this song
If you wanna hear more of it, it’s from her 2019 album, GREY Area, with the song being named Therapy.
She probably respects De La too much to just say the same verse. Just found this cover after a deep dive into Simz. Playing 'Gorilla' on repeat btw.
Changing up the lyrics is relatively common for like a versions tho.
i might be wrong, but i've heard that a rapper covering someone else's verse word for word is a big no-no in hiphop.
right??
they look like the coolest people ive ever seen
Thanks mate, that is exactly was I was thinking!
She’d a woman
Lau G - deal with it
Xx xX what? I mean he said “they” look, but she considers herself a woman, not non binary
@@laug1576 I think the person commenting meant everyone in the video so plural they
Keeping rhythm on bass while rapping every word perfectly is a great feat. She’s really talented and it’s crazy to see her do this cover
There's a drummer....
I mean if you practice enough, your hands just move by themselves and you don't get distracted. She's super cool though
You’re basically speaking. Try singing and keeping key while playing
Sometimes ppl are just talented and can do multiple things at once.
And not trying to discredit her
@@cloud_monkey422 you clearly don't now how difficult it is to rap with a nice flow and cadence
Douglas Rolón so I have no idea what that’s like because I said to sing on key while playing an instrument is harder? lol
That makes literally zero sense lol
This version is so badass. The accent is so awesome and when she starts spittin'....wooooo dope af
Literally no one would've batted an eye if she hired a bassist, but she play it herself. Respect.
Is she rapping with bass? That's crazy difficult
Her and Andersn paak should just form the roots together
Not if you can sing and play the guitar. It becomes quite simple
@@DijahSabreena you guys wanna hear wonderwall?
Is she actually? It's hard to tell with all the cuts
@@dahg4608 This was performed live on radio
The cuts to the launchpad guy pressing a single button are hilarious
It's a DJ controller not a launchpad. :v
@@jordyalejandroubaldomorale2982 WELL AKCHUALLY
@@bloomingteratoma lol
@@jordyalejandroubaldomorale2982 UHHHH BUT ACTUALLY
Timeless
She played before Gorillaz at the concert I went to, and she is JUST as good live!!! She’s super talented :)
Same. That's how I first met her music. Been In love with it since
Demon days right? With kano also
"how u feelin?"
"ok☺️"
Something awakened inside me
made me cringe.
that instrumental interlude should've been longer man, that guitarist was ready to go some place..
Felt this in my soul oh my god dude was about to unleash the 9th wonder of the world
Cool to see another South Africa here.
at what time code?
2:24 he was so fucking close
he queued the drummer back in :(
DAMN, she’s playing bass and rapping and singing. that’s HARD, I’m impressed. what a great cover :)
As someone with dyspraxia / developmental coordination disorder who has fallen over trying to put pants on many times, I am impressed by people who can do any of those things on their own, let alone in unison.
(For anyone interested, 85% of autistic people also have dyspraxia. It's common amongst us neurodivergent folk.)
@@janeeyre1990 No need to be impressed by us doing stuff. Whats impressive is your positivity and perseverance!
You're right, it is hard but on the other hand she can't sing so it sort of evens out.
@@GeraldSmallbear I know right honestly what a load of shit that was 🙄🙄
She can't sing? Why not? Has she lost a lawsuit or something? Because her singing flow here is amazing..
her accent and cadence adds so much to an already beloved song!!!
Rapping while keeping impeccable rhythm on bass....crazy good talent. I can't wait to see where she goes with her career.
saw little simz on tour with gorillaz, she did her thing with that verse though jeeez
Exactly what I said haha
@@yxnggumbo7062 ah shit I just scrolled to your comment, it was in brum for me too!
do ya thing
me too and in birmingham
@@ToozeyXD yooooo december 3rd???
Holy hell they look cool. Like the coolest. Damn!
Yeah those some cool cats
Ikrr
Omg I was ur 1k like
@@asnappinturla It feels awesome, doesn't it? 😊
Totally agree!
Saw her live as the supporting act for Gorillaz when they did their Humanz tour. Garage Place was released just a few days prior. What an epic live experience. She hyped the crowd up it was insane. When she returned to the stage later when they played Garage Place, everyone went wild!
1 minute in and fell in love with her voice. It fits the tone of the song perfectly.
I dont know who she is but im sure shes the coolest woman i've ever seen
Berta Rodrigue z i am aggre with you
Her newest album is pretty good
She is also in a Netflix series called “Top Boy”
Great there too
she actually was on a gorillaz song called Garage Palace, you should definitley check it out
her name is little simz and shes been slept on for so long, give her recognition yall
Black women that play bass give me life.
Weird but ok
Soumil Sahu seeing someone that looks like me. Playing the instrument I play. Being represented on a platform is inspiring, not weird.
@@TorTheWeirdo idk maybe, but her being a woman or being black being related to her talent didn't even hit me until I read this comment.
Good musicians are inspiring. Doesn't matter if it's a purple chicken or a black woman.
For example, to me Jimi Hendrix is a huge inspiration, but I'm not African-American. David Gilmour is an inspiration but I ain't Caucasian. Good musicians in general give me life
Edit: Anyway, at the end of the day, the point is that this is an amazing and (comprehensible lol) cover
Soumil Sahu good for you
@@SoumilSahu let people enjoy things
The Holy Trinity of Like A Versions: Little Simz' - Feel Good Inc, Genisis Owusu's - Anarchy In The UK and Denzel Curry's - Bulls On Parade
i couldn’t agree more! goat comment
absolute truth! genesis owusu's cover is nuts
The wiggles - tame impala elephant is in its own tier
Id put chrvches cover of kendrick lamar - love over genisis owusu but 100% agree with the other two
This is a good list, Yugi boy.
im blown away by this , that bass line isnt complicated but it drives the whole song and she kept it so smooth while doing vocals - amazing
Well, this is just all wrong. I can understand every single word just fine.
acma200 LOL I was almost upset at this comment
i feel the exact same way the relaxd slur on the his delivery adds so much to the mood of the song
acma200 too bad she butchered about 15% of the lyrics 💀
Don't diss damon like that 😔
@@izzym4318 its true
The melanin in the room was so strong I had to put on coconut oil, I love it
Right?!!!!
MAKES A NICE CHANGE DOESN'T IT
And I'm white!
Yo lmaoooo
?
Yes!
Damn im so mad this is not on Spotify. I know it’s a cover but covers can be there. I love this so much. I love the original of course but this is so good too.
I've watched so many videos of Little Simz performing live, but this song will always be my favourite time I've seen her. She's insanely talented; not only is she lyrically smart in her own writing, but she's incredibly technically skilled too. Big, big fan of her!
I'm in love with the accent. Also sick bass
Giorgio british babey
norf London mate
Qtea831 yuno she was raised in the worst parts of london to become so well rounded
uglyrts yeah it’s sad the state it’s in :/
Who else is learning for the first time some of the original Feel Good Inc lyrics
She replaced the rap interlude with her own verse and changed some other lyrics
Dirty Canvas I know but you can still hear the original lyrics much clearer
I used to sing this for karaoke lmao
Thank you man. I thought it was problem with my english...'cause I'm no native speaker
@@dirtycanvas9711 yeah I listened to the interlude and I was like wtf...
Knowing that she collaborated with Gorillaz and then seeing this video makes me the proudest
i love how psychedelic and atmospheric this version is
This entire band just emanates 150% cool vibes - it's like playing is the same as breathing for you guys
Damon isn’t emoting in his vocals on the original, I would say his sort of flat approach fit the song perfectly & they attempted to capture that either.
That's not what flat means
@@DarkEliteEric not in terms of music theory but a "flat approach" is still used here correctly in terms of grammar, as they're saying it's a more carefree approach, which the band does seem to have in this cover, same as Albarn's original version.
Damon is crazy emotive, he's just not super loud. There is a bit of "I'd rather be doing something else" about this performance, I'm sure if that's an interpretation of the songs attitude or a genuine sentiment. It's a good take, like Jared Leto's Joker.
SideReaction45 Flat has multiple definitions you dunce
Well isn't the song about how corporations suck the soul out of the world.
---> LYRYCS
thanks ❤
"you in?"
"ok"
This was sooooo chill and nostalgic while also her own I loved
chuck jones u articulated how i felt abt this vid so well
Everyone's talking about singing too low for her vocal range, this cover sounds really good to me honestly
Right?!?!
It is kinda low for her range, but it still sounds good
It is low for her range, but it adds a touch of flawed humanity for me. I like it, singing isn’t the major focus of the song.
its a great vibe
She's completely out of tune there but it's kind of interesting.
This is so impressive. I try to show Little Simz to everyone I can. So much talent. Absolutely impossible not to like her stuff
Oops I’m back again. Ugh wow such a good video
She added that special sauce to a master piece. This is Art
It's really similar but decisively different. Definetly a good cover
This perfectly describe what I think
Wow, it keeps 2d's (damon's) lifeless signing but with her own spin. love it
One of the most underrated like a versions ever
Love how simple yet soothing and beautiful her voice sounds. She’s incredibly attractive, too
theyre just oozing with coolness and smoothness
90% of this is the all white guitars
i have no idea who this girl is but i have decided that i will be heartbroken if she is never my wife
i can we share? :((
Listen to Grey Area pls. Album of the year
Frederick Core thank you for recommendation!!! i absolutely will :)
LISTEN TO VENOM
i I’m a straight girl and would turn for her, i can’t put my finger on it but my attraction to her is real
I love that her rap, although original, matches the tone and feel of the song perfectly
A band that actually followed the assignment...break down a song and put it back together! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I wish we had something like Triple J in Brazil. Great cover!
Ao invés disso temos sambô sjjsshhjashh
namoral
Tem o cultura livre (aqui no yt inclusive) mas o triple j é realmente incrível
Nossa Toca
make something like triple J man!!!!!!
I need this on SoundCloud, Spotify, ITunes, ANYTHING! This is clean.
i love that she did her own verse for the rap part. that's excatly how the song needs to be performed :)
I come back here once a month, this cover gives me life
Is ev-ery-bo-dy in? _(are you in?)_ Okay!
Suweeeet ; )
GaryChap i read this just as it went by
With wakanda style
That was sick nasty
Could have been a cool gimmick... repetition killed it :/
@@jacopogenovese4728 Nah man, I disagree. I thought it was really likeable, sweet and uplifting to the others.
simz out here bodying covers like she aint got dushanes mum to look after
peak times explicit LOOOOOOOOOL
Hahahahaha
Hahaha
That's where I recognize her from!!
Best comment on CZcams
So well put together, the whole group nailing it…her voice is fricking amazing
It's a damn shame this isn't available on Spotify
Really nice cover and that bass and guitar is beautiful
yeah im agree with u my buddy
oh yes
That laugh triggers flashbacks to such better days! 👍🏻
To demon days some might say
for real, school days, kid w guns
They brought an amazing groove to this song. Great cover. Love the flow and cadence 👌👏
So freakin good I've been late for 3 years
I hate how y'all trying to pretend this cover is somehow bad, let's be honest she's genius
PERIODTTTT
You spelled genius wrong and my only problem is they changed the rap part
Jeps McSmackin she just added in a rap from o e of her own songs
I wasn't a fan honestly but glad people could enjoy it
I can't find a single bad comment
Thank you.
I love this so freaking much, I put down my drink to give it my full attention. Yall did that
This is such a groovy cover. I absolutely love it
little simz is really a fucking complete artitst. everything she does turns into gold
speaking of nothing, we need Andre 3000 on Like A Version
Upvote this harder
OMG I LOVE THIS
I was just surfing for covers of a totally different song and found this. Jawdroppingly good! Jus too impressed for coherence.
This is how I found little simz, and now she's one of my most played on spotify. Thanks :)
This came up on my suggested videos and I AM IN LOVE
1:11 That was just... magic
I love that triple j, an Australian radio channel, gets all these amazing covers
Literally covers Gorillaz and does 2D’s, Murdoc’s and goddamn De La Soul’s parts all herself
She did her own rap instead of De la Soul's but it was cool
That was her verse lol I don't think you know the original song
*Camera man:* "Oh cool, I love that song. You wanna sing it?"
*Little Simz:* "Not really."
*Camera man:* "And...1,2,3"
Xquavius Ellison at least her voice is very sing-songy already
@@saintnicole3209 That is true. It is a nice touch
I mean its how the song is made
yeah lol, 2d usually just kinda talks
MSROCKADA damon ***
Little Simz not rapping on a song with an insane rap verse is sad.
Elliot Rogers her own verse was solid.
simbi's delivery fits the song so well
I never looked for a song so hard, it's stuck in my head I love her voice and flow
I usally don't enjoy original verses on this track but that was soo clean 🔥
Oh, my. Wow. Seriously, it's hard to rap and play the bass... But girl killed that! Nicely done.
Love this version!!! Lyrics have a whole other meaning!
I cant stop replaying this.
I swear I think about this cover everyday since I heard it.
Put it on Spotify!!! Now!!!
Honestly in love with the instrumental and vocals
What a funky bass and beautiful smile
Love Little Simz and love Gorillaz!
Her verse is amazing, I remember seeing her live when I saw gorillaz in Birmingham
I love her version so much 😍
This afternoon has been a kind of awakening - I think the weather slowly improving is bringing me back to myself, and this song has centered me. I feel calm, safely melancholic and beautiful. Thank you!
I’ve had this video on repeat the last week 💃🏻 I love the original song as well, but her sound is amazing ❤️
I've already got goosebump when this begins
They're all great musicians, that girl blows me away!
I had to replay it, looks and sounds so cool 😎 loved it !! I love that she did that song
Sickest Gorillaz cover I've ever heard/seen! Loves it
This is a really bold cover but she really put her own spin on it and I love it
It's 2022 and, I just found this masterpiece!? Great universe and reality we're living by now. So much love to the human beings that created these modern life anthems.
I am obsessed with this!!! They are amazing!!! Wow!!
All of a sudden everyone on here are music experts hahaha just shut up, listen & feel good.
I did shut up and listen. To the way the song is supposed to sound. And this is a really shitty cover of an amazing song. They should have chosen one that fits her style and doesnt sound like a drunk slurring their way through what they just heard on the radio
herrikudo ok thanks expert
@@angeline_1994 not an expert dick head. I just have functioning ears. She sounds like a slurring junkie. They didnt include "feels good" in the melody. They absolutely BUTCHERED the rap verse. You clearly havent listened to the original song ever if you think this sounds like it
herrikudo you need to calm down my dude. It follows the same style while adding their own flare and it slaps.
@@herrikudo I feel ya dude. SHe didn't even try to hit the right notes with her "singing". Like, seriously... She needs to work on her range, because that voice is dreadfully missing the mark
I do think the vocals were a bit low for her range
think it's just her style, i saw her support gorillaz and she was doing it too. kinda cool knowing it's intentional
@@hollie7643 definitely not intentional lol, she's singing flat half the time. when she's in key it sounds great tho
@@Dannzzx my thoughts exactly... Like the windmill part would have been way to high if she sang it in the right pitch, and now it's too low for her
absolutely incredible. love her sm
Gorillaz is such a goated band
