1)The Dream Warriors … Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists known as Dream Warriors:

1)The Dream Warriors are King Lou and Capital Q (aka The Quiet Storm), a pair of Toronto, Canada-based alternative rappers.
2) A metal band from Honduras.

1) They formed in 1988 and released the jazz rap LP And Now, the Legacy Begins in 1991, which was critically acclaimed and sold well in Canada and the United Kingdom. The album spawned the hit single "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style", which featured a prominent sample of Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones which originally appeared on his 1962 LP Big Band Bossa Nova and was also the theme music to the Canadian game show Definition.

The 1994 follow-up, Subliminal Simulation, received mixed reviews, and has since been forgotten by some and named a cult favourite by others; it featured guest vocals by Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets (on the track "Tricycles and Kittens"), and Guru and DJ Premier contributed to two different versions of the song called "I've Lost My Ignorance (and Don't Know Where To Find It").

Their most recent album, 1997's The Master Plan, was poorly received and did not sell well, but they made an appearance in 1999 for The Herbaliser on the track "Road of Many Signs."

My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style
Dream Warriors Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

here we go are you ready for one other
Dream Warriors' noise is new discover-al
once again with a new blend so telephone a friend
(yo dude I just got this new song It's dope man)
compact disc to the prime is optimist
fans and friends I'm universally cosmic
concrete jungles abound
you stand by the speakers

you're smothered and covered up in the sound
you stand strong as you pump your fist
I'm talkin' all that jazz
now what's my definition

Chorus:
my definition

my definition is this
my definition

my definition is this
my definition
my definition is this
my definition

when I kick rhymes there's something said to do damage
hits so strong even superman needs a hand
so bob your head dread as I kick the funk flow
this rhyme is subliminal yet you don't think so
I walk with a gold cane a gold brain and no gold chain
behind the truth lies there lies a parafix
in the mix is where Dream Warriors go
define if you will but I know so
there is no definition

Chorus

rhyme thou I know it to flow it just like a poet
your definition of me is definitely wrong
why must I try to lie and build an alibi
when all you ask is just for me to be me
replace a replacable replacement with this
relax relax relaxtion boombastic
my name is King Lu
(mine is Capital Q)
bags of mostly water search to find my definition

Chorus

I sought beauty through the dust of strife
I sought meaning to my music addicition
arise awaken we have need to reverse
a plauge has befallen us no time to reherse
this rhyme speaks it speak and has spoken
this rhyme will not change things
it needs to be changed in a hurse
you find caskets in my rhyme baskets of rhyme
your definition can define
so what's my definition

Chorus

(yo, where'd everybody go?)

Overall Meaning

Dream Warriors' song "My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style" is an ode to their unique blend of music, characterized by mixing of jazz and hip hop sounds. The lyrics convey a sense of confidence and unity, as the group invites audiences to share in their new discovery: "Dream Warriors' noise is new discover-al/once again with a new blend so telephone a friend." The song highlights the power of music and how it can transport listeners, wiping away the noise of everyday life: "concrete jungles abound/you stand by the singers/you're smothered and covered up in the sound."

The chorus repeats the phrase "my definition" several times, and the group seems to reject the idea of a definitive label, instead celebrating their own unique style: "define if you will but I know so/there is no definition." The verses continue with poetic rhymes and imagery, with each member of the group introducing themselves and offering their own personal definition of their sound.

"My Definition" is a timeless song that continues to resonate with listeners even today. Its solid composition, coupled with excellent musical collages, showcases the group's innovative approach to music-making. The song's intricate layering of samples, beats, and lyrics creates a unique and captivating sonic experience that transcends genres and defies conventional norms.

Dream Warriors, with their bold and imaginative sound, played a pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of hip-hop and challenging societal norms. Their avant-garde approach not only showcased their artistic prowess but also paved the way for future artists to explore new realms of creativity. By infusing elements of jazz, funk, and soul into their music, Dream Warriors introduced a fresh and distinct sound that resonated deeply within the black community and beyond.

Furthermore, the name "Dream Warriors" itself commands respect and evokes a sense of empowerment. It signifies their ability to transcend reality, challenge the status quo, and fight for their dreams and aspirations. The band's name encapsulates their fearless spirit and unwavering dedication to their craft, making them trailblazers in the world of music

This song was a reasonably big hit in Canada (Dream Warriors hail from The Six - aka, T.O., aka, Toronto) where the connection to Jones' sample from 'Soul Bossa Nova' had a special meaning. "Definition' was a cheap 'Password'-like game show featured on CTV (one of the national networks) in the mid and late 1970s - it's theme song was the Jones track, hence 'my definition of a...'

The original video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXAJZmlRMdc This was sampled from the canadian game show DEFINITION on CTV that was painstaking to sit through as a child. It was also in Austin Powers (Quincy Jones sample). Since Mike Myers is Canadian, i'm sure he had some input into this being put in. I was never a big fan of the Dream Warriors but they were the first Canadian rap team to make waves across the border. (mainly due to the Quincy Jones connection)

@Wally-H

2y↑1

It wasn't sampled from the game show theme. Quincy wrote Soul Bossa Nova (the correct name for it) for his 1962 album 'Big Band Bossa Nova' and the game show then decided to use it as its theme - the Dream Warriors would have sampled from the original track. Who decided to use it on the Austin Powers movie I've no idea, your theory is credible but it is equally possible the film staff responsible for choosing and commissioning the score (some of the music was written specifically for the film, e.g. the James Taylor Quartet's 'Austin's Theme') just thought it would be a good fit, which of course it was.

@paulkeddy404

2y↑1

@@Wally-H as I mentioned...." (mainly due to the Quincy Jones connection)". The Dream Warriors were a Canadian group, this was on the TV every day in Canada. My guess is they heard it FIRST through that show. Hell they even say over and over 'My DEFINITION is this'. That was the name of the show. The show Definition was a boring show in Canada and would have been something Myers would have found funny from that aspect. Look up the show and imagine seeing that everyday on TV when there weren't 200 channels to pick from.

those prizes were hilariously awful, the best part was that everyone knew it and nobody cared

It was a big hit in the early 90's..Totally weird and crazy sound from another time with totally crazy rap parts ...
This happens when Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers met the Run DMC guys ..... Totally crazy and unrepeatable...

All I hear is cool tune, don't care from whence it came, just that it's awesome and took talent to make. Those factory singers/bands only wish they could create so freely.

Another example of the many, many, many groups who make reference to themselves in a song and end up with the plague of one and (barely) one hit wonder status. Forever to burn into oblivion as a nothing, which basically what they were to begin with. Make note of this theory and it proves itself right.

pffft...plenty named themselves and were not one hit wonders.
plenty were one hit wonders without self referential lyrics.

I don’t think this is the original version of the video for this song. The one I know from the early 1990s has people dancing in an underground jazz club. It starts off with a light bulb hanging from the ceiling that bumps a girl’s head. I knew the girl!

Yup!

Andrew Givens, your grandparents knew how to cut a rug and tear it up on the dance floor, just like my grandma dancing the Lindy Hop or Charleston, every time I watch this I wish I was there to dance at these shows. I don't think most people realize how earlier generations tore it up at dance parties and shows before we came along, they truly had a lot of heart, not to mention style and coiffure, they had respect. I'd be interested to know at what second they appear if you can pick them out and identify them. Thanks!

@commentcopbadge6665

Ah fuck! Now I really feel old. Oh you mean THIS video. Not the original Dream Warriors music video for this song? Right?
