  • the artistry of Curtis....in words...

  • I CANT BELIEVE THIS DOESNT HAVE A MILLION VIEWS YET.

  • Killa ass track.... I was born in '79 so I didn't really discover Super Fly until my teenage years, but I love cruisin' to this jam.... Curtis killed it on this album period.... Makes it real clear where Maxwell must have gotten a lot of his influence from....

  • Don't worry 'bout no attitude

    You just be yourself

    Could live with you

    In solitude

    And need no one else

  • The Bathtub scene SupeFly was oh so hot especially for back in the day.

  • LOVE Curtis!

  • Do Yall Feel That ?

  • This shit is out a sight. I love this whole album, my parents used to play this album all the time. Thanks mom and dad for putting me on to Curtis amayfield...

  • Givin a shout out to this music And Curtis Mayfield!!!

    Give the original artists their credit, not the ones one used a sample!!!

  • THE REALIST POET OF OUR TIME. A TRUE GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • a true Genius...way ahead of his time...and who can forget the bathtub scene in Superfly with this playing...not that's what's up!

  • 16 dislikes? OK who's the hearing impaired retard?

  • "Run Nigga Run"

    -Ice Cube Higher Learning

  • 0:12 My nigga, Lex Luger, sampled this for Wale's track, "That Way".

  • "Could live with you in solitude and need no one else."

    Mr. Mayfield was a true poet, and a real latent.

  • fuck wale and lex luger...jazzy jeff sampled this better....Dj Jazzy Jeff - Loot

  • Wow. Didn't know that Wale sampled this track buts its really good. Crazy how you people say its stealing or ruining a song. I honestly love that Wale song and I heard that before this, but it always caught me because of the backing track.

  • screw everyone who is here for Wale, Snoop sampled this joint back in the doggystyle days, but i aint here for that either. Curtis >

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up if u don't care who brought everyone here, you're here for Curtis

  • William, I love it, and I love you;)

  • Strings, Wah-Wah and Curtis Mayfield. What else can you ask?

  • Real music, with real instruments, Wale who?

  • This movie opened at the Fox Theater in Detroit and the line went around the blcok. Black stars in a movie about real shit. At least Snoop does the knowledge and knows the backround but even mentioning Wale should get you banned from this son. Ask your old man or his old man about Curtis Mayfield before you post bs like that. Young cats need to respect their elders.

  • Smoke a nice FAT 1 2 this!!!!

  • redboymax...It was the original sound trax for the movie Super fly...btw 1970-75...written and performed by Curtis Mayfield...

  • The bass will re-animate the dead .Even God samples Curtis. RIP, Mr Mayfield.

  • yea

  • the wale beat is the smoothest beat ive ever heard, so props there. but it doesnt touch this at all

  • Curtis left this world in physical form way too early. But, his music is loved by millions. They love his music because of the straight from the hip lyrics and honesty. RIP Curtis. The world will always love and admire what you have done across all borders.

  • Comment removed

  • WTF WOULD DISLIKE THIS......THIS IS CLASSIC MUSIC THAT'LL NEVA GO OUT OF STYLE!!!

  • Absolute Classic !!!!!

  • This sample is pretty old. Mary J Blige - I'm the only woman is where I first heard it used. Wale just slowed it down.

  • @MarvelDJs Wale isn't a producer. Lex Luger produced the Wale song.

  • @ZeheIntStudios I am completely aware that Wale is not a Producer. To go into depth on a youtube comment is useless. I have this vinyl in my basement. "Wale's use of the sample was pitched down" <---Fixed

  • MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MAYBACH MUSIC

  • Sounds like this was on The Mic in Em's Infinite

  • Hey, southtexas !..don't fret over this youngsters man,, these guy's don't know no better cause then are young and inexperience man!..they to young to have been around at the time period and only percieving images man..wake up !. Ain't nothing.

  • Indo G's later version of Remember Me Ballin and Wale's That Way

    Listennnnnnnn!

  • Look I know artist from the past have sampled and it's going to always be that way,but these youngsters of the 2000's think their commercialized,bubblegum,pre-s­chool rapping rappers and plastic r&b singers produced their own beats,but majority of them sample guys like curtis mayfield & tons of others and then have the nerves to call old school names like ''that old shit'', "that shit's played out', ''nobody wants to hear that old shit'' ect. It's fucking sad to be so shallow & mislead.

  • Lord infamous-lick my nuts. His version of the sample is better than wale's. This is a dope ass sample though, i gives me the chills. Good music.

  • I love Curtis Mayfield. LOL I didnt even realize that Wale sampled this until I read the comments and peeped game. No wonder why I liked the song so much LOL

  • born in 93 curtis makes me wish i was born in 75

  • THIS SAMPLE BEEN USED BY MANY,STILL DOPE THO

  • By far my fav Curtis tune.

  • Mary j blige sample

  • Nobody did it better............I remember when this song (with that bathtub scene) played in the movie, The theater erupted!!! WOOT

  • without any exaggeration one of the greatest songs of all time. fo real!

  • Wale - that way, nobody is original nowadays!!!!

  • @ibsprintin How can you say Wale is not original? Artists have been sampling classics like this for years & years that doesn't make them unoriginal.

  • @VNT09 i`m talking about as far is starting music, point blank., i didnt say he wasnt original, i meant the industry specifically hip hop with all the sampling which i dont find bad at all, i love it infact. I just would like to find a dope beat like this every now and then that i know wasnt sample from anything. thats all

  • @ibsprintin yea, I agree with that

  • @ibsprintin

    CALLING ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SURE :

    CURTIS MAYFIELD WAS THE MOST ORIGINAL

    MIND BLOWING ARTIST EVER. THAT IS WHY

    HE IS MY FAVOURITE ARTIST. UNDERGROUND OR

    COMMERCIAL. THIS MAN DID IT ALL. R.I.P CURTIS

    THIS GOD OF MINE

  • The whole soundtrack was BRILLIANT!

  • R I P Curtis Mayfield. Now groove 2 this...  Peace

  • Snoop's Into to Doggy Style

  • everyone sampled this

  • Digable Planets "Nickel Bag" sampled this!!

  • I knew I would find it!!!! The sample to "That Way" :D

  • If I smoked weed or drank, I would do it to this........Wale and Rick Ross borrowed this for "That Way"

  • RESPECT to CURTIS MAYFIELD the GREATEST.......RIP!!!!!!!!!

  • The 14 dislikes just don't understand genius. Voids are difficult to deal with and those 14 are obviously experiencing an overwhelming and ;pitiful musical void. Just be grateful that you have all of your refined musical chops in line!!

  • Curtis Mayfield made this ,remember that. Love this song - Its a masterpiece.

  • Listen to 9th Wonder and Buckshot's "Whassup with u?"

    Best sample version.

    PEACE

    @watch?v=UodzZgJYT8o
