That footage seems eerily familiar to viewers who remember well the climax of"Do the Right Thing."
During filming, actor Nunn carried a silent portable stereo, with Lee planning on subbing in the music in post-production — once he had the right song. "Well, it was the second 'Fight the Power,' bro," said Chuck D, referring to the 1975 Isley Brothers tune of the same name that jarred him when he first heard it as a 15-year-old."Once I figured that out, it was something we felt we could build on. It was something that resonated in my headbecause it was the first record I heard with a curse word."
"You get to the '80s and it was almost like in this progressive way, everybody tried to forget what happened during the civil rights movement," said Coker, who recently was the showrunner on Marvel's"Luke Cage" series. "It was the combination of hip hop and Black cinema," said Coker."The fact that you could, from the safety of suburbia, have all these visual and audio experiences began to influence the way that people see that world.
Neal said that by the time Barack Obama ran for the presidency in 2008, there was enough of a change in understanding that the idea of a Black president"was something that wasn't unfamiliar" to whites who had been listening to this music for almost 20 years.
