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.

They’re two completely different genres of music and Fear Inoculum is the worst TOOL album.

What's the first comment have to do with anything? The article started the comparison.

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.
