Plus he said it himself that it was a dare to wear it for a show Public Enemy had with the Beastie Boys, however it popped up on the scene of 1987, then everyone in the hood including NWA of there early first album cover before Straight Outta Compton started wearing shower clocks around their necks back in '88.
I bought all PEs stuff starting in 1987, i went to school in a PE jacket - I'm a 51 year old white Yorkshireman & can STILL reel off most tracks. Great music is great music - melanin levels have f**k all to do with it 👍🏻
I have always said that Chuck D could rap the phone book and I'd buy two copies. Public Enemy has always had my respect.. what they did for and with this song is absolutely top-notch including Stephen Stills in it was absolute stellar level respect. Now go have a listen to For What It's Worth by Buffalo Springfield.
Yeah I know Lala was shiftee in the movie to the end, but 2 can play the game when I remembered seeing Jesus gettin' down & dirty with the 2 female assistant coaches, Buffy & Susie even though Big Time Willie warned him not to give into the 😹, but maybe he needed thus wanted some release since Lala wasn't giving him none thus he saw her & D'Andre swimmin' in Dom's pool at his house & they were talking on the phone while she was cheating on him behind his back. That h🤬! By the way I found out that the Tech U Coaches were played by real 🌽⭐z. I was too young for a Bad Ass 10-11 Year Old Kid to be watching it back then, however I learned about the game behind the game. 😉🏀 Great movie & hit song from P.E. Hall Of Famed Hip Hop Legends! ✊🏾⏲️
I think public enemy did the entire soundtrack for He Got Game. My favorite song from the movie is The one playing When they move Denzel into that dirty motel.
