Myth: Public Enemy lost the plot after Apocalypse 91. Truth: Public Enemy continued to be a focused, militant group of great musicians whose style went out of fashion in that time period. It was hip-hop that was changing, but Public Enemy stayed relatively consistent after its peak. He Got Game lacks some of the fire and innovation of PE's first four albums, to be sure, but Chuck D still spits with the best of them on tracks like "Revelations 33 1/3 Revolutions" and "If Your God a Dog." The production is sparse, but never boring. It just lacks the audacity that separate a really, very good album from a great one.
