Public Enemy's "He Got Game" illustrates the typical qualities of hip hop.  The track combines a rif from Buffalo Springstein, synthesized beats, and layering voices.  The song holds a strong political message with religious roots. The lyrics address the social injustices of the time and illustrates the struggle to hold faith.

It is easy to relate to this song because everyone is aware of the social injustices in the United States.  By connecting religion to the social problems, the song  gives hope that the dilemmas will one day be resolved.
