Eclectic Method

Goosebumps

"British producers Eclectic Method have been pushing the boundaries of music and video during a long career in which they’ve worked with music from diverse artists like U2, Phish, Fatboy Slim and now Chuck D. Ian Edgar, Jonny Wilson and Geoff Gamlen aren’t your average DJs or producers, as they think as much visually as aurally, and blend both into their audio-visual mixes. After their recent SXSW appearances, Eclectic Method took the stage of the Jimmy Fallon show with Copyright Criminals (video below). Their latest work is “Outta Sight”, a collaboration with hip-hop legend Chuck D that includes some self-referentiality to the artistic method in lines like “it’s not audio-visual, we living in the visual-audio age”, suggesting that imagery is now the most potent cultural form.

For the last leak off Blitz the Ambassador's Warm Up EP (Available Aug 27th), the Ghanaian lyricist teams up with fellow African heavyweights Nneka and Ty for a track called "Bisa". Produced by beatsmith Tismé, the word 'Bisa' means 'Ask' in the Ghanaian language "Twi" and explores widespread inequalities from an African perspective. 


Produced by: Tismé
Recorded and Mixed by Jim Bertini @ Galaxy Smith Studios. Brooklyn, NY.
Nneka vocals recorded by Gaultier Frossard @ DaCrib. Paris, France.
Ty vocals recorded by D’lux Beats at The Sound Emporium, UK

BISA LYRICS:
[Intro]

[Hook: Nneka, [Blitz the Ambassador]]
Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, [Who you asking]
Bisa oh Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, Bisa na yɛn kankyerɛ wo oh,
Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, [Who you asking]
Bisa oh Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, Bisa na yɛn kankyerɛ wo oh,

[Verse 1: Blitz the Ambassador]
Look at how we living, Bodies are free but our minds are in prison,
Controlled by the system no longer we fall victim,
From Tahrir Square to Madison Square the streets are crammed,
Revolution will not be televised or instagramed,
The tables are turning the people are rising and burning,
Overthrow the corporations that are steadily earning,
So death to Monsanto, Death to Halliburton, Death to De Beers,
Death to Shell oil, Just look at what they did to Ken Saro-Wiwa,
Hanged him by the neck, murdered every other leader,
Either or war is how they making they funds,
Show me a factory in Africa thats manufacturing guns,
Yet theres AK 47's in every village but no food,
So the kids grow up and learn the same rules,
Violence that you sow is the violence that you reap,
Bisa oh Bisa, You ask what you seek.

[Hook: Nneka, [Blitz the Ambassador]]
Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, [Who you asking]
Bisa oh Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, Bisa na yɛn kankyerɛ wo oh,
Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, [Who you asking]
Bisa oh Bisa, [What you asking]
Wonyim a Bisa, Bisa na yɛn kankyerɛ wo oh,

[Bridge: Nneka]

[Verse 2: Ty]
I speak for the unfiltered and the unfettered
Parents taught me well help to boost up the method
I write through the wrist though the twists takes effort
Please don't blink you may just miss the message
You been lied to, tricked, bamboozled and whipped
History been flipped, knicked and then ripped into pieces
Some say peace is not the word to play
I tattoo shackles on my neck on my vertebrae
Dear child of a lesser the plan is to see you buckle quick under
Or succumb to a better vision supplied by oppressors
Hear me out down to the last letter
REMOVE ALL religious obligations
Especially if they house colonial modifications
Manipulation of soul spirit and self esteem
No self respect no wonder I don't like the self I'm
Seeing.

[Hook: Nneka, [Blitz the Ambassador]]

[Outro: Nneka]

WATCH THE VIDEO : https://vimeo.com/85228844
A video remix journey through the history of sampling taking in some of the most noted breaks and riffs of the decades. A chronological journey from the Beatles’ use of the Mellotron in the 60s  to the sample dense hiphop and dance music of the 80s and 90s. Each break is represented by a vibrating vinyl soundwave exploding into various tracks that sampled it, each re-use another chapter in the modern narrative.

LYRICS :
I remember way back in the days on my block where they
drop it like it's hot
and give it what you've got
the rhymes spread just like a pox
smoking weed in bambu 
sipping on private stock
it's just the styles i got
that keep my mic hot
la di da di
la di da di
I got my ass whooped when i had my first brawl
ooo oooo it's my disco call
get the money dollar dollar bill y'all
kicking in his ear
the rock in here
they just like me and you when the smoke and camera disappear

it's bigger than hip hop, hip hop
the hibby dibby dop
hip hop and you don't stop

this is how we do
coming through with the brand new
next rhyme might be about you
whenever you come through
you against me, me against you
why would you want to?
for real though it's true

knock knock open up the door it's real
with the non stop... how you feel? how you feel? how you feel?
things are so passionate, times are so real
I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
just bust me pill the real ill
 something that's real
i'm 999 thou short of a mill

Get down go down slow down
Get down go down putting it down

On and on and on and on
on and on
so it goes on and on

808 beats to hit big like Kane
Waiting on a cab standing in the rain
Excuse me honey but nobody's in my lane
Changed by the change or the game of the fame
They dont' know who we be
You know about me, the fake ID
Broken down chemically
Vocal pedigree
Break the monotany
I don't make the list don't be mad at me

I just like to pee, pee, pee
So I can be free
I just like to pee, pee, pee
Can't wait to see

it's bigger than hip hop, hip hop
the hibby dibby dop
hip hop and you don't stop

Now, don't you tell me to smile
Undergrounds my style
Wicked, Wild
infect crowds
top of the pile
switch my style
everybody know we crazy wild
and for this i have vows
Stuck of the realness
like this
Feeling out of place cos man do I miss
Time to get paid
Now life is made
Turning over the page
Visual Audio Age
Every rhyme i write
up on this mic
I got my act right incase you act quite difficult
So sick how the clock go tick
That's the new shit
If it ain't broke then don't try to fix it

On and on and on and on
on and on
so it goes on and on

Moving and showing cats how it's done
So I can take the money never have to run
Ummm it was on the tip of my tongues
You say you a gangster but you never popped none
Ordered another round
cos I need to slow down
Give the brother a pound and watch him hit the ground
I want to rock right now
I know my streets, I know my sound
My stomping ground
on the hottest round

On and on and on and on
on and on
so it goes on and on

I love it when they say "enjoy your stay"
Leaving the bodega I say "Sauve"
I cut so much you thought i was a DJ
Stay out my way
is where we stay
Yes what the dealy yo
You already know
You got to be a pro
Don't let it go
eenie meenie miney mo
which mother *^$%$ stole my flow
Living room floor
with a big 40 
The way that i rhyme at a show
rock a house party at the drop of a hat
Front, front side to side middle to back
My peoples are you with me where you at
Wiggida Wiggida Wiggida Wack
Snap back
way back
you think i don't know that?
i know this for a fact
you don't know how to act

where the party at
in this thing called rap
now take a look at how my lifestyle changed up
now turn it back up
turn the bass up
times up
hold up

Meta Hip Hop

Opening with a brief blast of horns, the almighty RZA channels the deepest of grooves on this gorgeous arrangement of strings, whistles, keys and drums as Snoh reveals the perfect pre-Valentine tale. 'You don't need to tell me, I know it's love, cos it hurts'. With fans including Prince and Common, the Wu-Tang producer is the latest in a long-line of admirers of Snoh, who is signed to No I.D aka the Godfather of Chicago Hip Hop. "I met RZA over a year ago at Nile Rodgers Grammy party, I have so much respect for him as a producer and artist and I've always loved his vibe as a person,” says the 5’10 Swedish/ Persian singer with the most swoonsome voice ever. “We spoke about working and, magically one year after, it happened in the most unexpected way! This song represents exactly what I'm going through at this very moment in my life.”

ANSWER TO YOUR NAME

Like to tell you a story about a girl I know

Or should I say a girl I used to know

1971 inna England

Fresh off the plane to my dame inna Brixton

No, she never ask 'bout flight

Two month now no telegram write

Hey, she send taxi fi I

She gone a some house party tonight

So call me artical like

Make a few call get a couple invite

Inna the place me gone

Never leff Yard from the day me born

Right up front who me staring pon

You can tell say a she by the way she gwaan

Christine, Christina, Crystal

Try all a dem and she still never respond

Understand, catch a pree from a distance

Man hand gone inna pants fi a six-pance

Whoa! Tuff guys beside her

She naa reply when I say hi to her

So dem go try bring violence in the parr

Need I remind these kind that I nuh war

So me turn fi walk away

But a likkle voice in my head start talk to me

Tell me walk right pass her

To the sound, take the mic and ask her

Girl! Why don't you answer to your name?

Girl! Why don't you answer to your name?

And girl I know you see me

And you know I see you too

So what is it gonna be

Tell me what you wanna do

What's with this great mystery

After all that we been through

Now you're refusing to look my way, eh

My likkle darling

Know she stay so from morning

Where she grew was appalling

Want fi make it right so she take the flight

Heard the city lights calling

From the day she been crawling

All she hear bout is foreign

Say we a keep the link

Now wah me fi think see the plans dem sinking

Deep, new year reach

Accent gone pon all part a you speech

Don Gorgon dem u waa fi go meet

Like she be the real topanaris a street

Please, watch how me calmness a do it

Naa bat a lid, as a morning I leave

But how me fi walk right pass you miss

Haffi look inna you eye and ask you this

And I know you know what I'm talking about

Girl see you in the crowd and act like she don't know

But me naa take no stylin', no punkin' or no joke

(huh?)

Girl why you dweet (Girl why you dweet!)

Girl why you dweet (Girl why you dweet!)

No it no sweet (No it no sweet!)

No it no sweet (No it no sweet!)

Orelha Negra

Luta

This is a remix I did for a 12" coming out this November on Sonar Kollektiv. I spent the last while producing an album for a friend of mine, Stee Downes, that is out now on SK too. After I finished the album they decided to release a 12" of remixes. The album is very 'organic' - no synths or anything, so I really wanted to do the complete opposite for the remix...that's why it's a little crazy ;o)
