“Welcome To The World of The Plastic Beach” is the second track from Gorillaz' 2010 release "Plastic Beach". The song serves as a cool introduction to the album, featuring a mellow flow from Snoop Dogg with a psychedelic vibe that epitomizes the sound of the whole album.
Throughout the track, “Just like that” is repeated by “lead vocalist”, 2D— AKA (Damon Albarn).
"Snoop’s the grandaddy, isn’t he? Doggystyle was for many people the record that got them into rap and G-funk. The track also features The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, a Chicago nine-piece brass group featuring eight sons of Phil Cohran (who played trumpet with The Sun Ra Arkestra). This is a proper soundtrack: brass-laden, pimped out, plastic funk, mixing the organic with the plastic to form something new and shiny. And who better to open up this world than Snoop?"
—Murdoc Niccals, NME.
