He Got Game

Nothing to say really.

This has been going through my head all day today.

Public Enemy - He Got Game

I Got A Letter From The Government The Other Day.

Before I heard Tricky's interpretation of Black Steel if I had read anywhere that somebody was tackling covering Public Enemy I would have thought that they were mad and would have been confident that the results would have been pretty dire.

I wouldn't say that Tricky's version is better, it is on a par with the PE version. I love the way he has dropped the piano sample and replaced it with loud thrashy guitars and poiunding drums. But it is probably Martina Topley-Bird's laid-back delivery of the lyrics which makes this a classic.

Tricky - Black Steel

Btw this was the 1001 piece of nonsense that has been posted on this blog!

He Got Game

One of the lesser played singles by the best that hip hop crew ever. With a little help from Buffalo Springfield.
