King Bleso aka Gopher D + Overknights

Venerdì 14 Gennaio 2011

Cargo – Via dell’Erta Canina 12/r (Firenze) 
h 23.00

Torna a Firenze Funky Gopher… aka King Bleso…rigorosamente in formato 45 giri… in compagnia degli Overknights!!

GOPHER D aka KING BLESO
Dietro King Bleso c’è Gopher Wastasi, ossia Dario Troso (1971). Conosciuto dai più semplicemente come Gopher, l’artista salentino ha mosso i suoi primi passi musicali sulla scena punk degli anni ’80. Negli anni ’90 è stato uno dei membri fondatori prima dell’Isola Posse All Stars, gruppo seminale del rap in italiano, poi dei Sangue Misto, il nome di culto per eccellenza dell’hip hop di queste parti. Di seguito, richiami di sangue (e dialetto) lo hanno condotto naturalmente nei Sud Sound System, di cui ha fatto parte tra il 1995 e il 1998. Negli ultimi anni inoltre ha collaborato a più riprese con la Fluid Video Crew tra l’altro firmando coi Brutopop la colonna sonora di Italian Sud-Est (2003), lungometraggio selezionato al 60° Festival di Arte Cinematografica di Venezia. Ma il nuovo capitolo di questo variegato iter artistico raccoglie l’eredità diretta del suo predecessore: King Bleso, dopo aver esordito nel 2008 con il dub-jazz di Echo Of Blue, si ripresenta infatti rilanciando appieno lo spirito funk di Unto Ke (altro alias di Gopher, usato dal 2004 al 2006) ma col valore aggiunto dei Voodoo Soul Unlimited, un combo di musicisti chiamati a raccolta per l’occasione.
Al Cargo King Bleso si presenta col suo set funk contaminato da interventi punk e surf rigorosamente vinilico a 45 giri!

OVERKNIGHTS
Overknights é un contenitore di dj’s, produttori, scratchers, mc’s ed un disegnatore con base a Firenze.
La mescolanza di stili e le affinitá di gusto contraddistinguono questo gruppo costituito da ben dieci persone provenienti dagli ambiti e generi piú disparati di formazione musicale, come l’hip hop, il punk, il jazz, la techno e l’elettronica in molte delle sue forme.
Il sound é necessariamente e volutamente eterogeneo in una ricerca sonora che si esprime nella valorizzazione sia delle produzioni individuali che del frutto delle diverse collaborazioni interne.
Il risultato è un misto tra hip hop, funk, skwee.

Tutte le produzioni sono ascoltabili e/o direttamente scaricabili da:

Jeru The Damaja “Revenge Of The Prophet (part 5)”
from the album Wrath Of The Math produced by DJ Premier

lyrics

Intro:
>Well Prophet
>It seems like you’re in a bit of a jam
>I hope you can unstick yourself Oh
>And what you did to my wife
>It was nothing I have others
>hahahahahaha
>The Saga Continues……

Verse 1
It’s been awhile since I escaped the library
fightin ignorance everyday its gettin weary
when I think I got him
he pulls a slip on me
and theres so many soldiers
in his fiendous ass army
One of the fiercest, is this nigga named Tricknology
the last time we met, he got the drop on me
shit happens so fast he even got some of my family
blasted my way up out the building
when I catch him Im gon kill him
track him uptown, where I hear he’s lyin to children
1-2-5th’s the stop, go outside I hear gunshots
run up the block
Greedy Lou’s dead infront of the materialistic crack spot
Trick’s yellin out this is my block
I would’ve hit him, but I didn’t have a clear shot
an innocent bystander might get popped
Damn….a small thang cuz the prophet still cant be stopped

What…thats right, this is my motherfuckin life
Trick-nol-ogy, you know what Im sayin
you know me, you can’t front on me….

Verse 2
Im in a fucked up position
but if he squeezes again, Im gon lift em
a few seconds later now here comes the siren
oh shit its the pork chop patrol
their on Ignorance’s payroll
and they only came to hold…
Tricknolog down, scoup Greedy Lou off the ground
throw him in the back of a truck
one yells ‘What the fuck nigga ya lookin at?
now get the fuck outta here’
then I get that feeling that I feel when danger is in the air
then out of nowhere one yells the Prophets over there
immediatly following mad led is in the air
picture all posted up like they knew I’d be here
I’d go for what I know
but shit there everywhere
through in the back and forth my gun gets lost
but I managed to get one high powered thought off
I split 6 pigs that got sawed off
as their bodies break south I proceed to break north
now shit is lookin dim and you’d think all maybe lost
but the Prophet won’t go out at any cost
You can’t never stop the prophet….

>Unit’s 1 & 2, Unit’s 1 & 2 the prophet has been sighted
>if you see him kill him

can’t a damn thing stop me

Verse 3
I head toward the train station
my force did stop most of the ammunition
still I need medical attention
but Im not bitchin ,gettin Ignorance is my mission
all of a sudden Greedy Lou comes creepin
around the corner talkin bout..Prophet your a gonna
We knew you followed Trick uptown because you wanna
get rid of Ignorance but that dont make no sense
He runs the world I know this from experience
Why don’t you come & work wit us
you’ll see the boss’ game is nice
that night…Greedy Lou died twice
Now I’m wanted, pork chop patrol has a warrant
but that still can’t stop the Prophet

>Here ye, here ye the court of Ignborance is now in session
>we, judge and the jury find the Prophet
>guilty in the murder of Greedy Lou
>one of our close personal homeboys
>so for that the sentence is death
>when you find him execute him

>hahahahahaha
>The Saga Continues……

Phelps “Catfish” Collins, RIP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDGpeW4sUUs

We’ve lost another one of the great ones, folks. Cincinnati guitarist Phelps “Catfish” Collins, of James Brown and P-Funk fame, died on August 6. The cause was cancer. He was sixty-six.

Catfish was with JB from 1969-1971 and Parliament/Funkadelic from 1971-1983. Alongside his brother, Bootsy, he can be heard on classics like “Super Bad,” “Sex Machine,” and “Soul Power.” In 2007, he and Bootsy appeared on the Superbad soundtrack.

Above, watch Catfish tear it up with the Godfather.
