[12onomicprotv1]

[Scotslover86]

@Che870 -- ARE YE STILL PRETENDING TO BE A BOWL OF PORRIDGE, YA BULLSHITTER ? :-)

[Perfect1Mr]

I watched this movie when I used to do coke....and I did even more while watching!!! :p - Might not ever see a movie where the hero snorts a bump and kicks everyone's ass!!!!!!! lol

[swissones]

I first watched this movie when I was like 8, my mom forbade me from watching it again... I did it anyway because I didnt finish watching it the first time... This song really stood out in my fragile young mind.

[brooklynlulu]

I was too young to have fun in this time, I will always feel the loss man. I love this Movie!!!!

[blackspades0000]

That was some bad shyt

[kingzstreet1]

[solesirching73]

0:56 - 1:45 - Best monologue to perform during family holiday get-to-gethers, aside from "You told Harpo to beat me!!"

[jzh094]

NARC this song was on that game.

[aliquippawill]

I absolutely adore the movie "Superfly".......not so much for the lifestyle it showcases, but the time period (the early 70's) it so accurately re-creates. These were my formative High School years, when I was a very impressionable young man. Even then, I had the presence of mind to realize that drugs......and the individuals who sold & personally abused them.....were the WRONG direction I wanted to steer my life. But the WARDROBES, the HAIRSTYLES, the CARS.....they WERE something to behold!

[lavenderwithagirl]

"what the fuck are you gonna do, except hustle. Besides Pimpin'"

quote of my day.

[RaynMan718]

Look at that dudes teeth LMAO

[OnThatPowder]

Curtis Mayfield is the definition of TRILLNESS!!!! R.i.p. Curtis ...i love the old school

[SamCynical]

The original classic !! Superfly and Curtis Mayfield!!

[TeabagerzCrew]

So Fresh!

[joewoo127]

He Da' Man !

[cameraman7]

And then came crack , and it was gamr,set, match

[TheTone714]

I like to listen to this song as I get off airplanes.

I highly recommend you try it.

[youngdlj2]

lmao i love this song from that game N.A.R.C

[Mircela23]

a bald spot in the fro is shamefully ugly no matter how you cut it (double pun intended).

Nevertheless, Superfly is amazing.

[doyoubarnes]

Black or white. It don't matter. Drugs are bad. Thank you Curtis for letting us know through you're music.

[hanno21664]

co workers of mine put this video on and then later commented that yes pushin was a dirty business but like others have said here they did it with style and this is a time when drugs were drugs pure and rich, not like drugs today he said drugs today is simply trash. his words his experience and he talked to me about this video and its reality peace to all here

[drduff100]

use drugs

[vbierry]

Eddie would fit perfectly as the father of O-Dog in Menace To society...

Jus'.....Jus' think about it...

don't throw it out.. ;)

[nesto415]

great video thanks

[iReLoaded2]

now can you dig that lol these old school flicks is funny and i got 2 admit they did with style they put the P IN Pimp 

[TheMsmother]

light skinned dark skinned...what difference does it make! Black is Black!!

[cdoggy5]

this song is the shit i be jammin to this im my caprice 4 12s pushing my trunk .....im your pusher man

[WolfChieftain]

someone good at changing vids should put obama's face in place of the really light skinned black guys in this vid (the guy with fro and long overcoat/big round hat), itd be hilarious

[draven26]

This song seems a strange choice, am i correct in thinking Curtis Mayfield wouldn't do it unless he could speak out against drugs?

[Kjata]

lol light skinned men were never the shit

[barnesdog100]

the man is a god - true musical class

[LynneC44]

Thank God, no flippin' hoods on the heads! lol! They DRESSED UP back in the day to push! Okay, just joking, it's bad stuff, but ya' gotta love the flashy image....

[MrVarry]

Epic!

[Jaystarski]

"You know got this fantasy in ya head about getting outta the life and setting that other world on its ear. What the fuck you gonna do except hustle? Besides pimpin and you really aint got the stomach for that." Jay Z put this on his intro on his album American Gangsta

[dkellioriginals]

@Jaystarski lupe fiasco did the same in "where im from"

[kawz23]

@Jaystarski

its actually on his previous album

[Arkhei0s]

Funky beat! I enjoyed it :D

[AsboDolche]

curtis mayfields voice is sublime

this is twice as gangsta as anything today

[kaynassen]

"Just think about..."

[wegaify]

the REAL pushers are the fucking Governments

[hithatrollz]

Hell ya, legallize that marijuana, alcohol is way more destructive than the herb! No one comes home to beat their wife when they are baked. And i agree, i wouldn't use heroine if it was legal either lol.

[keaster55]

Yes, we should legalize marijuana. The money we spend on the war on drugs is a joke! We could be actually making money from taxing it. Maybe even balance the budget! And all the crimes associated w/it would disappear. Now, let's see if this response disappears. I've posted it 3 times now! To say marijuana is a class A narcotic, like cocaine & heroin is nonsense! That was Reagan or Nixon who made mandatory life sentences for drug users, while releasing killers! I hope this happens in my lifetime!

[afrooloco]

@keaster55 if you really appreciated marijuana you wouldnt want it legalized. Im all for decriminalizing, and making medicine legal, but as a consumer product, it become like cigarettes; completely fucked. big brands would come along and use really weak shit and put in a shitload of chemicals that you dont need. not to mention itd be overpriced, and these brands would probably get laws passed so that you couldnt grow it yourself or sell shit other than theirs etc.

[keaster55]

Well, I new some guys in the 70's that found government marijuana & it was terrible! But California has a vote coming up to make it legal to even grow in your backyard! It probably won't pass, but the governor wants it taxed in the medical marijuana clubs for the taxes it will bring in to their depressed economy. And how can they tax it if you grow your own for your own personal use?

[Dillon042]

@afrooloco Amen Bro.

[expoonation]

That's the truth... Mary Jane gives us ideas and perspectives our governments don't want us to have, because then we say: fuck work and all that other crap, let's just smoke weed and chill out, watch some movies, listen some music... :)

[keaster55]

I worked all the time I smoked pot. Not before work or during work, but at the end of the day to calm down. Was able to think about things I said & if I had offended anyone, I would apologize. They think people wouldn't be as vibrant. There's alot of vibrant people doing bad things, like murder, rape etc. These guys should smoke pot & stay home & watch TV! & I worked my ass off! I get a feeling of accomplishment by working. Not all pot heads say fuck work. You gotta pay for it, so you gotta work

[expoonation]

Hehe yes that;s true ;)

As a matter of fact, I just came home from work... Smoking a joint now... :) Best taste and high at a moment like this too.

[sk8erboy618]

@expoonation dumb ass..

[mic7bender]

CLASSIC

[backintheday1]

Hey, pushin is evil and destructive any way you slice it but, you got to admit, back in the 70's they did with Style......not as thugs

[xSuperpoopx]

Well that a matter of opinion about drugs being evil and pushing them is wrong.

If thats the case why do we allow alcohol Ciggarrets and Legel drungs like pain killer,oxicotin and all kinds of other bad shit!

I say make them all legal!

Just cuase Heroin is Legal does Not mean im going to use it!

I do Not even use Aspirin!

[BillyKnockout]

@backintheday1 Nope . They were thugs too , nothings changed but the names and faces

[smoothbrother69]

@backintheday1 dont believe the movies any way you slice it they were thugs then and now.

[keaster55]

This whole album was good. And loved the movie. Poor Curtis, he was paralyzed and could only lay down, and still made his last album lying flat on his back. P.I.P Curtis.

[aggiesspeakdatruth]

Paralyzed in Peace?

[harveydents]

5:22 that about sums up the 70's!

[harveydents]

i liked how they used this stop photography in the movie BLOW as well!

[weirdibabi]

Damn. Pushin or pimpin. Is that all they knew in the 70's?

[stringwhore]

isnt that the guy from everybody hates chris?

[keaster55]

Are you referring to Superfly Ron Page? He died a coupla years ago, I watched Everybody hates Chris, & I don't think either of them were on that show. Chris's dad on the show used to play in the NFL, but some old black actors, like Huggy Bear from Starskey & Hutch, & the dude from the show Different Strokes that kept getting arrested & the guy from the show What's Happening. Don't know their names, but recognize them from the old shows of the 70's. Loved Everybody hates Chris! I miss it.

[stringwhore]

i meant the old store keeper that chris works for

[keaster55]

That's Antonio Fargas aka Huggy Bear from the 70's show Starskey & Hutch.

[Myhairisnotforsale]

who cares what color you are music is music!!!! i'm a mixed girl black and white and I loooove country, classical...hip hop and rock music!

[stringwhore]

[GetVictd]

lol; Light Skinned men. It's true though, light and good hair..lmao. But the truth at this point is give me a Black man (light, black, purple, caramel, yellow...whatever) or NO MAN.

[ndependentwoman]

This is when light skinned men were the shit!

[pinkipodnanochrome]

lol

[rufusmcbaine]

*light skinned men ARE the shit

[ladyraven30]

Dark skin light skin. No matter to me. It's ALL good! lol!

[garyminion]

@ndependentwoman

yeah I always wondered if the guy in Superfly was actually black. I mean I seen light-skin Blacks but the main character in Superfly is really light complexioned, looks like a Hispanic not a black man

[lopoleon]

@garyminion He also played in RED DAWN

I think he was the general or capt.

(NS) But he was in there for one of the main roles.

[bilbomarks]

@ndependentwoman I suppose the 80s never happened then. 

[mrhernandez81]

[savere2006]

This is a great film.

[brotherminister1930]

THis a classic black exploitation flick that dealt with real social and economic issues of that time as well as friendship and loyalty.

[Sage1887]

[veryfine69]

[BabyTeela]

My dad u ta slap this song LOLz now older knowing what it means it's hilare!!!!

[foxhole3]

OG KUSH!! ftw

[SFFOOL76]

I love the montage of the still shots of drug dealing , one of my favorite scenes in any movie.

[cingle2004jp]

Pusher man..means drag dealer ?

[libra1091]

yea

[AsToldByCatherine]

no it means drug dealer

and a pusher is a drug dealer

they dont call them "pusher men" they call themselves pushers.

[cingle2004jp]

Excuse me, not sure. What's the exactly difference between pusher and pusher man?

[AsToldByCatherine]

Nothing, except pusher man implies that it's a male. Pushers can be female as well. it's just outdated to call them pusher men.

[cingle2004jp]

Outdated.. OK duly understand, thank you

[cingle2004jp]

Noted there was another word, "Candyman", also used for drug dealer?

[AsToldByCatherine]

yea no one would use that word in real life, except jokingly

[junkiemanxxl]

[oddite2000]

0:56-1:30 Beautiful.

[fnkdrmmr]

To MAB1989dude: You are stupid and uneducated. There have always been Black Gangsters. In New York alone, you have guys like Bumpy Johnson and a host of others - he was a real human. On a realistic note: you shouldn't based your beliefs on what Hollywood portrays. The Mafia, as we know it, did NOT begin with the Italians. The Italians learn their La Costa Nostra system from the Chinese. Also, if you go to any Black neighborhood in NYC - the real gangsters will eat you alive.

[MAB1989dude]

What i hate is that black people think they invented the fuckin hustle..Ha they took that shit from the whites have you seen blow..based on a true story u ever seen the mobester movies good fellas?these are based on true storys..we invented you ruined cuz thats all thos fucktard rappers talk about like its life..THey keep it on the low why broadcast it..

[poopynonsense]

I'd like to see you say that face to face with a real black American gangster

[TERRORISTINDAWALL]

You dont even know what your talking about saying black rappers are the American gangsters so just shut the hell up

[brotherminister1930]

Somebody wants to get out and somebody wants to stay in.

[elveerdig]

The clip shown here at the start is it taken from a movie? if so, what's the name of that movie?

Thank you,

[alleyghost]

Superfly

[maradona87]

The name of the movie is Superfly.

[didier54321]

omg good video gorgeous sound

[skatechocolate123]

[stormmariem]

"want some coke, have some weed"

Gil Grissom with a pipe around 4:10 - that man had a history way before CSI!

[Dred80z]

[Traye76]

Thats the kind of dude that get other people sent up, then flip on everybody.

[Spo0kzZz]

just trying make it real baby like it is...

[jonshmiglez]

0:57 "Prelude" on Jay-Z's Kingdom Come album.

[jazzbojudas]

this scene is the movie great choice. even greater tune

[denstone111]

It glamorises the whole scene. The reality is a sad scary world. The rise and fall of the coke head. Those that enter that world end up mentally, physically fucked or dead.

[DClean]

gota grab this movie, never seen it.... but i love me some Mayfield, 'move on up' my brothers and sisters !

[MCxcrizzle]

skip to 2:00 songs there

[DVitamin]

I do believe this is during the time of 'Blacksploitation'. I'm an 80's baby, but I loved the media of this time. This was a time where it was just everything was new and fresh, no copies, pure originality, exploring new venues, despite the times and the prejudice, there were really good times, and stuff that would last well beyond that period. Just imagine, stuff like this wasn't even thought to be posted on tv just 15 years before its time. :-) Can't get enough...

[DVitamin]

Can't get this out my head!! Best ever!

[sirkuss]

WUT MOVIE IS THIS ??

[Xpinger]

"Superfly" from 1972

[if66was99]

BEST song from a great movie! Ain't I clean Bad machine Super cool Super mean Feelin' good For THE MAN Superfly Here I stand Secret stash Heavy bread Baddest bitches In the bed

[coldfront321]

Curtis Mayfield is extremely talented with soul..

[F0SC0]

crazy crazy crazy - darwin would have said: "struggle for life" - harmony overrules eternity - isn't it?

[lp32862]

The only motherfuckers who bankrolled anything and at the black man's expense in the long run, were the hebs....Everyone WTK up. they were the ones who exploited these movies and the geat Mayfield.

[tanyatmr]

Damn, I was 6 years old when this movie came out. I've never seen this movie in it's entirety only in parts.........same thing with Shaft.

[jpope1012]

CLASSIC. I love this song!

[pamphish]
