Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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, long-time 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Brilliant portrayal of a basketballers' struggle(yahoo review) : Denzel Washington does some of his best work as a prison inmate trying to earn himself an early release by talking his estranged son into playing basketball at the governor of New York's alma mater. My review : I gave this film 5 stars for its brilliant acting and gritty, real atmosphere. It is about a young basketball player (played by nba star ray allen) whos father is sent to prison for accidentally killing his mother, his father (denzel washington) is then told by his warden that he can get him out of prison if can pursuede his son to play for the wardens favorite college basketball team. For anyone has a faint interest in basketball or is a fan of this genre, i would advise seeing this film. It is clever, ...

The most favourable track is "Shake Your Booty" with Flava Flav rapping like he did in the old days to a wicked dance beat. "House Of The Rising Son" provides that familiar hardcore sound and Chuck D still shows he got lines with "Politics Of The Sneaker Pimps". However the rest of the album falls off, MastaKilla from Wu-Tang makes a low-form appearance on the first track "Resurrection" as does Smooth Da Hustler on "Game Face". The other tracks just don't live up to what you expect from PE. Chuck D as always is still a tight rhymer and worth listening to on any track. PE have not pulled themselves ... Read More: Rating:  - Excellent!!Not being the greatest Denzel fan I was a little aprehensive at watching this for the first time. But to my suprise this was a well made, well acted story; about a young man's journey; caught between his father and the sport that he loves. Couple this well produced film with a sound track made up of the phatest Public Enemy tunes, you can't go wrong. The only question I have is why has it taken three years for this film to make it to the video sales market? If you have a few quid burning a whole in your pocket, and you want to buy a movie that you can watch over and over again, then this is the one for you. Enjoy! Rating: - ImpressiveSpike Lee's most potentially commercial film since Malcolm X failed to ignite at the box office. This was surprising as the film featured one of Lee's obsessions (basketball), the best Lee performance from his favourite actor (Denzel Washington), a beautiful score (courtesy of Aaron Copeland) and an uplifting, sensitive script. Add a soundtrack written specially by Public Enemy and you have Spike Lee's best film since Do the Right Thing, which is no mean feat. Rating: - They most definelty got gameWow, im a huge PE fan from the old school days and missed their unique sound and voices (flav). How happy was I to learn they were releasing this album? Words couldnt describe it. Anyway its great to hear them change their style and it works. I have all of their albums and can honestly say I enjoyed this one the most. From the title song "He got game" to my favourite "Politics of the sneaker pimps" the tracks are mellower than previous efforts. And I could listen through the whole album without getting a headache. The best and probably last PE album ever. By it just to say goodbye to hiphops finest. Gelfo |
