It was and always is an honor to work with Eso, one of the most hard working and innovative artists I've ever known. No seriously, it's actually difficult to fathom how he's managed to pump out so much fresh material over the past couple of years, all while starting a family. If you haven't heard "Wrestlelectro," check it out on my myspace.
Also, just do yourself a favor if you haven't already and snag "Esoteric Vs. Japan." "Armed only with the sounds of 70s and 80s Japanese classics," the homie ES manipulates a slew of material into one superb listening experience.

And yeah, that first one is some sort of odd Japanese karaoke cover record.

And here's the lyrics :
I’m breakin in space / I’m taking the taste out your mouth when I smack ya faster / I’m taking the bass out your voice, ya’ll cats is actors / I snap on like bad bra strap unfasteners / combat with masterdon raps will splash your palms fast- ya death / make ya breathin’ / breath and stop like Tip after quest / my click track finesse will riff raff correct and bitch slap the rest / my wits pass the test- I complete the mission / I leave without a scratch like Plug 3 was missing / I’ve seen the other cats, they’re drug fiends and / infinite umpteens and quicker than Chun Li was kickin, they’re slippin’ / Like the Deep Purple sample was working / you’re Steve Urkel with women and girls twitch when you’re flirtin’ / like Lisa Turtle allergic to Screech, C’ll be working with speech / ‘cause on the scratch never made it past chirpin’ a beep
I’m breakin – ya’ll hang with Jane in the basement / sayin’ “ya’ll take a look at this rock” / your legacy on wax is the crack ya bought / Shan- smashed the flask ya’ll act distraught / when I – cook up a set you’re shook, onlookers will scope / a solo rookie like Ford pre-Wookie booked "A New Hope” / I’ll put a hook at your throat – cut ya – sucker sucker / I rhyme like I’m Chuck-A-Luck a
Like I said, Eso moves fast. Don't sleep on his new instrumental offering, "Serve Or Suffer." Urb, which reviewed it with 4.5 Stars, had this to say:
"Esoteric is able to make a convincing statement about the activities we are passionate about (whether that is hip-hop, comic books, videogames, or anything else)and stress the importance of never losing sight of these passions."
Peep the technique...

ReplyDelete[Esoteric]:
Wrestlelectro, comin’ out the sky like Repto
webbed toe, web feet, dead beat klepto'
ectoplasm, I caterpillar out the chasm
mysterious tall man, the phantasm
fresh hustle, dice gets up like a six-sided cube
the sick side of you gets cut into a flesh puzzle
mesh muzzle for the biters I hand out I stand out
and bang like 'ladesch muscle
new delis open up
from the human meat that I’ve sliced, iced
thawed out marinated and broken up
project my voice into space I’ve spoken up
colder cuts served up with On-the-Go and Word Up
me, myself and I are at ages
where we could appreciate what Bobbito wrote in Rap Pages
[Will C.]:
I’m breakin' in space
I’m taking the taste out your mouth when I smack ya faster
I’m taking the bass out your voice, ya’ll cats is actors
I snap on like bad bra strap unfasteners
combat with masterdon raps will splash your palms fast- ya death make ya breathin’ stop like Tip after Quest
my click track finesse will riff raff correct
and bitch slap the rest
my wits pass the test- I complete the mission
I leave without a scratch like Plug 3 was missing
I’ve seen the other cats, they’re drug fiends
and infinite umpteens and quicker than Chun Li was kickin',
they’re slippin’ Like the Deep Purple sample was working
you’re Steve Urkel with women and girls twitch when you’re flirting’
like Lisa Turtle allergic to Screech, C’ll be working with speech
‘cause on the scratch never made it past chirpin’ a beep
I’m breakin – ya’ll hang with Jane in the basement
sayin’ “ya’ll take a look at this rock”
your legacy on wax is the crack ya bought
Shan- smashed the flask ya’ll act distraught
when I – cook up a set you’re shook, onlookers will scope
a solo rookie like Ford pre-Wookie booked in …New Hope
I’ll put a hook at your throat – cut ya – sucker sucker
I rhyme like I’m Chuck-A-Luck a
[Esoteric]:
Scum and villainy over the drum’s agility
drillin’ me, it’s killin’ me, it’s still in me, the ill ability
to spit a soliloquy nocturnal knight and nobility
artillery I got compatibility with pillories
I’m like a killer bee, I be fillin’ bars like distilleries
no type of head can stop us that be word to Bill and Hillary
invincibility like Iron Man, here’s a diagram
of the zoo exhibit don’t be dying on the lion cam
you’re heading for a beheading assassinating and shredding
while keepin’ mics at a 450 degree setting
I’m betting emcees are jetting
and wetting the threading of their Perry Ellis-type bedding
I’m deading all the fretting, comin’ off like petting cats
or shedding cats, better get a gat, it’s a rebel trap
head for the cracks like ghetto rats you know the deal
Will C. Esoteric coming like Cloverfield
opponents kneel, hold the shield
we roll, you yield, our throats are sealed with volts and steel
and all types of Adamantium , we the champions
we in a class you can’t be in
you in a class that my ’92 Camry’s in
you’re broken down and you can’t fit your family in
It’s sort of a shocker
like elderly troopers with Imperial Walkers
oou thank you, i appreciate that.. btw wrestlelectro is awesome track!
