Amazon.com essential recording

True hip-hop heads, get happy. Public Enemy, with Flav, Griff, and the Bomb Squad, are back. The seminal group's first album in four years serves double duty as the soundtrack for Spike Lee's wack-ass He Got Game, and as you'd figure from the film's B-ball theme, many of the rhymes are directed at the world of sports. Numerous tracks contain direct barbs at NBA commissioner David Stern, while "Politics of the Sneaker Pimps" aims its fury at the major shoe companies and their exploitation of foreign workers. True, longtime fans might have beef with PE's more Puffyesque moves, like obvious samples (Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" on the title track) and choirs, but there's no denying the rage of the message. Against PE's legacy, this disc might fall a bit short. But taken on its own terms, He Got Game gets nothing but net. --Amy Linden

Excellent Hip Hop Soundtrack to Spike Lee film!.......2007-06-04

He Got Game--
"He Got Game" is the hip-hop music soundtrack album to the Spike Lee-directed, Denzel Washington-starring film. It is the first movie soundtrack to feature one rap act exclusively--in this case, genre pioneers Public Enemy. The first Public Enemy album in four years (since 1994's Muse Sick N Hour Mess Age), what is also notable about the album is that members of Public Enemy's founding producers, the Bomb Squad, return to oversee several tracks. The concept album explores the dark side of professional basketball culture and its toll on the largely African-American players in its ranks: The pressure from family, friends and especially big-business interests, leading to what Chuck D calls "a house built off of them skulls and bones" in "House of the Rising Son". The title track is a great meld of hip-hop & classic rock: it samples Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth" and features a guest spot from Stephen Stills himself. Some of the other great songs include "Go Cat Go!" (produced by Meat Beat Manifesto's Jack Dangers), "Game Face" (which hijacks Monty Norman's James Bond theme), "Unstoppable" (with guest vocalist KRS-One) and the gospel-style hook of "What You Need is Jesus". Flavor Flav's bouncy spotlight track is the self-explanatory "Shake Your Booty". The closing track is the spoken-word piece "Game Over", where Professor Griff muses on behalf of the frequently-criticized `hip-hop ballplayer': "Yeah, I got an attitude; How'd you figure?"

Great Soundtrack.......2005-08-08

Public Enemy's soundtrack to Spike Lee's He Got Game is some great music. Public Enemy's return after disappearing for a few years is a spellbinding concept album about the sport industry. KRS One and the Wu Tang Clan's Masta Killa make guest raps on this album. This also has another great collaboration on it. On the title track the loop sample of Buffalo Springfield continues through and the Stephen Stills starts to sing the song at the end with Flava Flav introducing him. Favorites include Resurrection ft. Masta Killa, He Got Game ft. Stephen Stills, Unstoppable ft. KRS One, Revelation 33 1/3 Revolutions, Politics of the Sneaker Pimps, What You Need Is Jesus, and Go Cat Go. Recommended

Game Time.......2005-03-11

This soundtrack performed fully by Public Enemy is just another aspect of consciousness. Public Enemy has been just that with their prior releases and didn't leave us thirsting for knowledge on this one. As the hook goes on "Game Face", "...you know the name, P.E. / you know the game, P.E. /we ain't for the fame / we're for the change / I wake up every day with my game face on..." "Unstoppable" featuring KRS-One is a beautiful collaboration and a personal favoriate. Even though a lot of subjects pertain to basketball, Chuck D. still finds a way to compare it to everyday's society and life. The rock fueled "Go Cat Go" is even a good tune for rap and hip hop lovers. Not quite a classic but well worth the money. Maybe it should have been called Public Enemy Got Game instead.

Absoultely Sick Good.......2003-08-28

One of the best rap cd's I have ever heard. Chuck D, as always, delivers a dominating vocal performace. When Chuck talks, you listen. There is certainly a more modern and less abrasive sound to this disc in comparison with some earlier PE recordings. As expected, the lyrics are political and even more on the mark than usual. The beats are incredible almost without exception. Favorite tracks include Unstoppable (KRS-One gives great guest vocals), Is Your God a Dog, House of the Rising Son, Game Face, Politics of the Sneaker Pimps, What You Need is Jesus. The title track is also great -- I've just burned myself out from hearing it a lot. The tracks not mentioned are also very good, better than the vast majority ...that passes as rap these days. Highly recommended.

YES!!!.......2001-03-16

This CD scores! This CD has hit after hit and keeping the Public Enemy style. It's got everything: the beats, the lyrics, the swears. He Got Game is one CD that is hard to stop listening to. If you like Public Enemy than I suggest you buy this CD!!

Director Spike Lee states, "When I listen to Aaron Copland's music, I hear America, and basketball is America." That may be far-fetched for those who saw Lee's film, especially when the only other music in the film was that of Public Enemy. On its own, though, this album is a welcome "greatest hits" collection of Copland's Americana. The CD and the movie start off with John Henry, a slow-building, beguiling melody that works effortlessly with Lee's montage of basketball images. More spirited numbers such as "Hoe-Down" from Rodeo and Fanfare for the Common Man are also featured on the soundtrack. Unlike many Copland compilation CDs, this collection features abridged selections, allowing for more variety of source material: symphonies, soundtracks from movies (Of Mice and Men, Our Town), and ballets. Maybe not the CD for the purist, but a welcome first album for those who were introduced to Copland's music by the film. At over 60 minutes, it's a worthwhile investment. --Doug Thomas

Love it!.......2007-03-03

Copland is awesome and Spike Lee has an amazing ability to find the perfect music for everything he does. Get this cd! Legitimate 5 stars!

Beautiful Music.......1999-09-25

The Music of Aaron Copleand is timeless and purely Amerian. Thus, it is the best choice to be in a movie about basketball, one of America's favorite sports. This collection of Aaron Copland's music introduced me to this great composer and is a perfect start for new classical listeners. SUperb.
