    Skyzoo, in my opinion, is the MOST slept on rapper in today's hip-hop/rap music. He is very underrated and I don't really get how most of the people never heard about him. His music is REAL, CLASSIC hip-hop/rap music.

    Brooklyn stand up...Skyzoo (crow heights) Talib (Flatbush) Spike Lee (Fort Green), couple reasons I appreciate this track, spike lee being my favorite film director and documentarian is one of them, the fact that I'm from Brooklyn is another, but the recognition these two artist are giving Spike is my main reason... There is no doubt that Spike Lee is part of the Hip Hop culture.

  • @aishakarimah6000
    @aishakarimah6000 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The message in the music is connotative rather than denotative; the “was” in “Spike Lee Was My Hero” refers to Spike’s influence on Skyzoo during the most impressionable moments of his life. The lyrical hook alone speak volumes if you understand it. Spike Lee (1st & 2nd gen. hip-hop culture), dedicated his life’s mission to writing Brooklyn-inspired stories using films which influenced Skyzoo to dedicate his life's mission to writing Brooklyn-inspired stories in this 3rd gen. of hip-hop culture!

    This song is a great example of composition. These two artists ,Skyzoo and Talib Kweli, feed off of each other so well, I'm surprized they aren't doing the next Black Star. One album together, make it an instant classic, and do the proverbial parting of ways afterwards. Skyzoo, in my eyes, has a very unique and poetic style about his lyricism and swave, smooth delivery. Talib Kweli with his rapid-fire approach and uniquely rough-like voice compliment each other very well.
