Track Comments
This track has that old school feel from the golden era of hip-hop (89-96). A good track to set an album off with.

Anthony Parker, Jr. A.K.A. WORDSMITH claims many areas as his home. The son of an Army officer, he has resided in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Delaware, Texas, Kansas and even Germany to name a few. After moving around so much, Parker found rap as an outlet. He spits an aggressive, yet metaphoric lyrical style. He is influenced by Redman, Big L, Nas, Rakim, Kanye West, Jeru the Damaja, A tribe called Quest, Krs One, Gangstarr, Das Efx, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, 2pac, Eminem and his own cousin Roc Marciano, formerly of the Flipmode Squad. His debut album is a double CD with one side hip-hop and the other side rock. The hip-hop side of the album, Classic Material, is somewhat of a throwback to the golden era of hip-hip (92-96) with its lyrical nature (Rakim), its revolutionary sound (Public Enemy), and storytelling roots (Slick Rick). The rock side of the album, Rockstrumentals, is a new age experiment between Rock and Hip-hop. Run-DMC may have done walk this way in the late 90’s with Aerosmith, but this album takes a real MC and puts his lyrics to hardcore rock beats.

Classic Material is nothing but vintage hip-hop. Each track stands on its own as a separate record. If I am not telling a story like some of the old greats (Slick Rick, Nas, etc.) I’m talking about real life or the essence of being a real lyricist. This album had to flow with a classic feel to it, meaning everything from old school scratches to detailed rhymes can be found throughout the album. I grew up on good MC’s and creative songs, but hip-hop is poisoned to the point that you can not have a hit unless it is a pop crossover. I am trying to change that with this album; along the lines of what Kanye West is doing for hip-hop right now. I wrote this album without thinking of writing singles or certain tracks to please the industry right now. I wrote to expand the game and enlighten the world to what Rap use to be about. I want to bring back rap to the point that every MC is using there mind to create thoughtful tracks. In the future I hope this album will stand the test of time and be remembered as a landmark in rap history. This is Classic Material, hip-hop at its essence. |
