Aaah, the memories! 😚
I remember being young, beautiful, and carefree once upon a time, dancing to this amazing song in the clubs on warm summer nights when this first came out in the U.S. Bought the CD. ❤️‍🔥

This is the original video concept, notably the one Us3 wanted, especially trumpeter Gerard Presencer, who wanted to show jazz trumpet didn't have to be an old man's game. Americans got to see more of the second concept, though, which was more conceptual with a couple of dancing girls and, of course, an old black man playing the trumpet. Which, while somewhat valid (it is a Herbie Hancock song after all), wasn't what they wanted to do.

Us3 created an all-time jam with this. It's the perfect mix of jazz and hip-hop. It's notable, particularly when listening to other covers of this song, how many who tried to do this, including Us3 to an extent afterward, skewed too much one way or another and it didn't work. This did, though. Perfection in one tune. Great, great, great jam.

Us3 is a jazz-rap group founded in London in 1992. Their name was inspired by a Horace Parlan recording produced by Alfred Lion, the founder of Blue Note Records.
On their debut album, Hand on the Torch, Us3 exclusively used samples from the Blue Note Records catalogue, all originally produced by Lion.

One of the resulting demos, recorded in March 1992, was "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia), "featuring UK Trumpeter Gerard Presencer. It sampled Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island.
Two years later, it entered the US top ten and was included on Hand on the Torch, the first Blue Note album to achieve Platinum status (1, 000, 000 sales) in the USA.

Lyrics

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 lullabye
Brace yourself as the beat hits ya
Dip trip, flip fantasia

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, 'round the found
But nevertheless ya gots to get down
Finesse the 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
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

Jump to the jam boogie woogie jam slam
Bust the dialect I'm the man in command
Come flow with the sounds of the mighty mic masta
When I rhyme on the mic I bring a sucka disasta
Beaucoup bucks and 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

This is the best fusion between jazz and hip hop just like Black Ego by Digable Planets.
