Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
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

Spike 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.

(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, touching and a engaging watch.

public enemy, make some noise, quietly.
If hip-hop equates to puff daddy in your dictionary, "he got game" is a cd you need to buy.
When public enemy first burst onto the scene, they were angry and raw. Read more
