20130519 US3 - Cantaloop(Flip Fantasia)

2013년 5월 19일 오늘의 곡은 US3의 Cantaloop(Flip Fantasia)입니다. 한번 들으면 모두가 아 할만한 재즈곡중에서 아주 유명한 곡이지요. 베이스 선율과 브라스, 랩 등 모든 것이 정말 완벽한 곡입니다. 1993년에 발매된 곡이라고는 믿기지 않을정도로 세련된 곡이지요. 재즈에 랩을 가미한 것도 그 당시에는 생소할 정도로 시대를 앞서간 그룹이 아닌가 싶습니다. 중간 중간에 펑키펑키한 코러스도 너무 좋구요. US3는 영국출신의 재즈랩 그룹으로 1993년에 발매된 1집 Hand On The Torch에서 이 곡으로 데뷔합니다. 이 곡으로 빌보드연간차트 41위까지 오르며 히트를 기록하지요. US3는 지금까지도 활발한 활동으로 유명합니다. 최근에는 데뷔 20주년을 맞이하여 Cantaloop를 리마스터 해서 발매하기도 했습닉다. 즐감하세요!

Songwriters: Kelly, Rahsaan Hakeem / Wilkinson, Geoffrey / Simpson, Mel / Hancock, Herbie

Ladies and Gentlemen
As you know we have something special down here
At Bird Land this evening
A recording for Blue Note Records

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, funky funky
How 'bout a big hand now?
Wait, wait a minute

Groovy, groovy, jazzy, funky, pounce
Bounce, dance as we dip in the melodic sea
The rhythm keeps flowin', it drips to MC
Sweet sugar, pop sugar, pop rocks it pops ya
Don't stop till the sweet beat drops

I show and prove as a stick in move
Hear the poems recited on top of the groove
Smooth, mind, floating like a butterfly
Notes start to float, subtle like a lullaby
Brace yourself as the beat hits ya, drip trip, flip fantasia

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's that?
Biggity biggity bop, yeah
Biggity biggity bop, funky, funky

Feel the beat drop, jazz and hip hop
Drippin' in the dome, mix is on the lock
Funk and fusion, a fly illusion
Keeps ya coastin' on the river we cruisin'

Up, down, 'round and 'round, found the found
But nevertheless ya gots to get down
Finesse freak through the beat so unique
Ya move your feet, the sweat from the heat

Back to the fact I'm the mack and I know that
The way I kick the rhymes, some would call me a poet
Funky flowin' goin' on with the sweet sound
Caught in the groove in Fantasia I'm found

Many trip the tour upon the rhymes they soar
To an infinite height to the realm of the hardcore
Here we go off I take ya, dip trip, flip fantasia

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's that?
Biggity biggity bop, yeah
Biggity biggity bop, funky, funky

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's that?
Biggity biggity bop, yeah
Biggity biggity bop, funky, funky

Jump to the jam boogy woogy jam slam
Bust the dialect I'm the man in command
Come flow with the sounds of the mighty mic masta
Rhyme them on the mic I bring a sucka disasta

Beau coup bucks but I still rock Nike
With the razzle dazzle star I might be
Scribble scrabble on the microphone I babble
As I flip the funky words, into a puzzle

Yes yes yes, on and on as I flex
Get with the flow words manifest
Feel the vibe from here to Asia
Dip trip, flip fantasia

Oh you don't stop, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Give me more of that funky horn
What's that, yeah, funky, funky

Biggity biggity bop
Biggity biggity bop, funky, funky

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's that?
Biggity biggity bop, yeah
Biggity biggity bop, funky, funky

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, funky, funky

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's that?
Biggity biggity bop, yeah
Biggity biggity bop, funky, funky

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's that?
Biggity biggity bop, yeah
Biggity biggity bop, funky, funky
