Fantasia
Master and commander Soundtrack Lyrics


Groovy groovy jazzy funky pounce bounce dance
As we dip in the melodic sea
Rhythm keeps flowin', an' Drip's the M.C.
Sweet sugar pop sugar pop rocks
Pop you don't stop til the sweet beat drops
I show an' prove as I stick an' move
Every poem's recited on top of the groove
Smooth, my, floatin' like a butterfly
Notes that I float sung like a lullaby
Brace yourself as the beat hits ya
Dip trip flip fantasia

Feel the beat drop jazz and hip-hop
Drippin' in your dome makes you zone and bop
Funk and fusion a fly illusion
Keeps ya coastin' on the rhythm ya cruisin'
Up down round and round, rhymes profound
But nevertheless you've got to get down
Fantasy freak through the beat so unique
You move your feet and sweat from the beat
Back to the fact I'm the mack and I know that
The way I kick the rhyme some will call me a poet
Poem steady flowin', growin' showin' sights and sounds
Caught in the groove in the tale I found
Many tripped the tour upon the rhymes they saw
To an infinite height to the realm of the hardcore
Here we go off I take ya
Dip trip flip fantasia

Jump to the jam boogie woogie jam slam
Bust the dialect I'm the man in command
Come flow with the sound of th mighty mic master
Rhymin' on the mic I'll bring the suckers to disaster
Bookout ducks but I still rock Nike
With the razzle dazzle, a star I might be
Scribble drabble scrabble on the microphone I babble
As I fix the funky words into a puzzle
Yes yes yes on and on I flex
Get with the flow verbs manifest
Feel the vibe from here to Asia
Dip trip flip fantasia

One of the greatest underrated epics of our time.

Curiosity Piqued

It did well at the Oscars....had quite a few nominations..loads if i remember right....its not all about the winning

supereliptic

Unfortunately - and I say this with great pleasure as an audience member- it lost out to best picture, not because of any shitty back room politics, but rather because it’s competition that year was from the concluding movie in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which was excellent. It remains today a fantastic movie and an masterclass in period storytelling.

Cematography is 100%, as is casting and set design, and that’s before we talk about how perfect the soundtrack and scoring is.


‘I tell you, that’s moviaking. By god, that’s moviemaking!’

R.A. Bartlett

Not to mention, Mystic River cannily (and somewhat cynically) positioned itself as the anti-Lord of the Rings movie, and then you had Lost in Translation being the first awards contender with a woman at the helm in ten years, it was sort unlucky to be in a year with a lot of direct competition and historic milestones.

Joey Hathaway

I agree.

Mythical Toast

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid in 2003. This sequence and song has stayed with me ever since I first saw Master and Commander. It has a haunting, beautiful quality to it that makes it feel as if it's a ballad for the dead. It's so wonderful and heartbreaking, and certainly one of the most powerful compositions I've ever heard

Jean côme

Oui comme un requiem....

When this piece of music peaks, all else melts away, and you can almost catch a glimpse of eternity. Beautiful stuff.

Craig Smith

Listening to this song reminds me just how beautiful humanity can be. What we're capable of - of creating and achieving - what an eternal beauty and serenity that can reside within us... It also reminds me how far away from this light we can stray.

Truly a masterpiece.

Tuan Jim

Craig Smith Oh yeah, so many shades, peaks and valleys of emotion in it. The first time I saw the scene in the film with this song (the heart-wrenching "man overboard" scene during that insane storm), I was so transported by the vast, solemn grandeur of this piece. It took that scene to a whole other level of perspective and weight, an almost cosmic/epiphanic feeling.
