I remember ,back then (i nearly said,"back in the day") Spike Lee seemed to do no wrong for me..He was like a black, politically active Woody Allen.The directing style was immediate,broke the "forth wall" continually,and the polemic came with a heavy dose of cynical humour...how could i disagree with any of it? Remember this is when HipHop was the cutting edge political music. Public Enemy may have been the band featured,but it's equally a visual manifestation of the music of Gil-Scott Heron.. i enjoyed "Inside Man" ,but it was only with "When the Levees Broke" that Spike went back to the top of my list again...
