Skyzoo ft. Talib Kweli - Spike Lee Was My Hero (Official Video) #ReUp #Post
New music video from Skyzoo off his 'A Dream Deferred' album. Skyzoo and Talib Kweli pay tribute to Spike Lee, who also makes a special appearance at the end of the video.
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! - Aisha Karimah (Youtube Comment)#Dope
