André 3000 has surpassed Tool for the longest Hot 100 hit of all time. As Billboard reports, his track “I Swear, I Really Wanted To Make A ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time” charted at #90 on the Hot 100 this week — it’s the first song on his new instrumental album New Blue Sun. It clocks in at 12 minutes and 20 seconds, longer than Tool’s “Fear Inoculum,” which is 10 minutes and 21 seconds and debuted at #93 back in 2019. André 3000’s track notched 5.8 million streams over the past week.
I definitely thought this was an onion article when I read that song title.
It feels 100% honest that’s for sure
The takeaway for me here is that Taylor Swift has a 10+ minute song.
That surprised me too
Mine is that Dire Straits’ Telegraph Road didn’t make the list.
Coincidentally, I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
Is it also the longest title?

I didn’t realize either of them were still releasing music at this point. Pretty cool.
André just came out with an album I think. The tool song is from 2019
Last I listened to new music from either was early 00’s, lol.
You have your entire retirement already planned out then

It’s also apparently the longest song title ever on the Billboard 100
This really reminds me a lot of the more experimental and instrumental music that Mac Miller started producing before he died. It is in that vein, so I can certainly understand why people don’t connect with it. I am really enjoying it though.
I forgot about this guy, and now I see him everywhere. Haven’t listened to his album, I think I should, because I’m totally out of the loop lol

Tool’s Descending is longer and better.
They’re two completely different genres of music and Fear Inoculum is the worst TOOL album.

The comparison was between songs that have been on the Billboard Hot 100, which includes Fear Inoculum and the aforementoined Andre 3000 piece.
Descending was not on the Billboard Hot 100, which means this went from comparing top hits of any genre to Tool fans circlejerking about their favorite Tool tracks.
Dear God Tool fans are insufferable. No wonder Maynard got a kick out of getting them all to wear shirts that label them as tools.

If anyone doubts this, listen to the lyrics of their song Hooker with a Penis. It’s a giant fuck you to pretentious fans who say they’ve sold out.
And no, no hookers or penises are actually in the song.
It is also from one of their earlier albums. They don’t respect their fans and I don’t blame them a bit.
Who says there’s not enough musical innovation right now
