A monument to 90s East Coast hip hop, imbued with the spirit of Brooklyn.A masterpiece by Junior Mafia, who was mentored by Notorious BIG. The perfection of the sampling and lyrics stands out. Produced by Clark Kent, "Player's Anthem" became a big hit for the group, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and certified gold by the RIAA on September 7, 1995 for sales of over 500,000 copies. The lyrics are full of desire for money, women, and street fame, but they also have a certain humor and casualness to them. Of particular note is that Lil' Kim, who would later make a name for herself as a solo artist, made her presence known here. The impact of the success of this song on not only Junior MAFIA as a unit, but on New York hip-hop as a whole is immeasurable. It can be said to be a song that symbolizes the golden age of hip-hop in the 1990s. |
