─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
Nominally a soundtrack to Spike Lee's basketball drama,
but in reality more of an individual album, He Got Game
appeared in 1998, just the second Public Enemy album
since 1991's Apocalypse 91. Even though Chuck D was
pushing 40, the late '90s were friendlier to PE's
noisy, claustrophobic hip-hop than the mid-'90s,
largely because hip-hop terrorists like the Wu-Tang
Clan, Jeru the Damaja, and DJ Shadow were bringing the
music back to its roots. PE followed in their path,
stripping away the sonic blitzkrieg that was the Bomb
Squad's trademark and leaving behind skeletal rhythm
tracks, simple loops, and bass lines. Taking on the Wu
at their own game -- and, if you think about it, Puff
Daddy as well, since the simple, repetitive loop of
Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" on the
title track was nothing more than a brazenly successful
one-upmanship of Puff's shameless thievery -- didn't
hurt the group's credibility, since they did it well.
Listen to the circular, menacing synth lines of the
opening "Resurrection" or the scratching strings on
"Unstoppable" and it's clear that Public Enemy could
compete with the most innovative artists in the younger
generation, while "Is Your God a Dog" and "Politics of
the Sneaker Pimps" proved that they could draw their
own rules. That said, He Got Game simply lacked the
excitement and thrill of prime period PE -- Chuck D,
Terminator X, and the Bomb Squad were seasoned,
experienced craftsmen, and it showed, for better and
worse. They could craft a solid comeback like He Got
Game, but no matter how enjoyable and even
thought-provoking the album was, that doesn't mean it's
where you'll turn when you want to hear Public Enemy.
