  • This was the era when music was made!

  • yeah, this movie put black street life on the big screen for us all to take a good look at, and what a lot of us missed was how troubled we were, freakn lost, scrapn for the dark scraps that killed so many, broke up so many homes and put soooo many brothers behind bars-still, not so super, and certainly not fly!  but the music is kick-ass. live and learn, RIP Curtis

  • "NOTICE". NOT ONE PERSON WITH THEIR PANTS DOWN BELOW THEIR BUTTS SHOWING THEIR DRAWERS. WE KNEW HOW TO DRESS AND STAY NEAT AND CLEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • great song in a way...though a lot of 1970s black music sounded like the singer was getting his balls squeezed, for that high pitched voice.

  • In this era there was more powder in Harlem than a ski resort. More Heroin than Cocaine. It snowed year around.

  • Youngblood is too cold listening to Curtis... real hustlers don't smile hah!

  • the difference is that before we had curtis mayfield and now 50cent. Conclusion: I love the 70's.

  • dawg you need to leave da drugs alone and post in plain english

  • These were da real niggas, back in the 70's no doubt!

  • @Cordero787 shhhhhhh not too loud! folks you tell that might not have been on the good side of the story..

  • nigger music and lifestyle

  • @hoehappa hmmm.......  Twisted thinking,from what societal based view; statistical precepts? Enlightten me.

  • I am Supafly

  • Oh man - look children what coke can do for You - "Cocaine is a hell of a drug" - congas, deep bass, huge cars, almost like sci-fi now ...

  • curtis, you missed.

    what a genius soundtrack.

  • A man of odd circumstance a victim of ghetto demands!

  • @therealraybaby Hey dummy did you ever for once think that these fools were not victims, but just corrupt and lazy fucks? Stop with the lame and incoherent explanation for losers.

  • @lp32862 did you ever think to read any research on criminology or sociology? Dumbass.

  • @lp32862 Hey asshole, I was alive in the 70's and racism was worse then than it is now. Nobody would hire a black man. My dad was a cop and his co-workers regularly arrested blacks simply for "Driving While Black." And the redneck cops thought it was funny, and joked about it all the time.  There were NO minorities on the police force, ZERO. The police force was absolutely used as a tool to keep minorities in the ghetto and to diminish their life chances. You're an idiot if you deny that.

  • I love the bob back and forth. Lolz.

  • Oh Yea

  • Yea Curtis....!!!!! Curtis was a musical genius.

  • Love Curtis Mayfield, that was soul music

  • Great film- you can notice the inspirations for Quiten Tarantino from classics like this. And one of the best soundtracks ever made.

  • So dope!!

  • love this song.........

  • The difference between music talking about street life back in the day & 2day, was that it wasn't 'glamorized' or portrayed like it was something 2 aspire 2. Being a pimp or a drug dealer was the lowest thing 1 could b. Drug dealers kept their busines on the low. They didn't flaunt it. I grew up in the PJs in the 70s & those were the happiest times of my life. I didn't have 2 worry about ducking bullets or not being allowed 2 play outside. 2day, there is no respect 4 each other.

  • I think people miss the point of Curtis' 'Superfly' soundtrack. When he created it, he was wanted to convey a message against street life and drugs. It wasn't about glamorizing it. Curtis allegedly was not 2 please after seeing the finish product of the movie but he already made the deal 4 the sndtrk & starring in the movie. Black entertainers back then were conscious about the message they sent out 2 their audiences. I grew up in the 70s & thankfully was not exposed 2 this type of life.

  • @royalsoulness I don't think what you've been saying can really be conveyed to the youth of today. "Black conciousness", the realization that outside forces were driving drugs into the projects and inner city, and that people slinging that death were not "good guys", was very real then (as you can attest to). I grew up in the 80's, and I can barely understand what those times meant... There was no glorification of the drugs and violence, it was simple recognition and warning.

  • i wish all my friends didn't square up on me

  • love

  • Back in the days when at least crime had class.

  • i was a live back in the 70s bra its the best year dig that

  • This is the good life man! I live the 70s every fucking day of my life, with fro , bellbottoms, platforms, all the jewelry, I am still in the 20th centruy and I got the Superfly soundtrack on VINYL you all dig it?!! Was spinning it the other night on my record player...

  • still that way now just need $ to do it.

  • Super cool!!!

  • ya Oni Logan / SiNg IT bRoTHer!

  • Curtis Mayfield was a bad mother on the Superfly album. Freddie's dead is my favorite tune from Superfly. That bass line is so funky.

  • @King121093 yeeeaaaaa, you're a loser

  • @King121093 you're not the only one

  • As a matter of fact....YEAH!

  • that 70s decade..........anit nothin like it

  • @blackmanta07 You know how some people think they were born in the wrong body? I think I was born in the wrong decade...

  • @tsup77 I think of that all the time.....Im a straight up 70s fanatic..Im a 88' baby. Anything old school I have it. Especially Blaxploitation films. This is my absolute favorite because it was so raw and uncut....the truth on screen. I wish more people my age would really take the time and see how enjoyable life was for Afro-Americans aside from the political controvery of the time. Wish I had a Fro and a badass jumpsuit.lol

  • @Chocolatechick20(Correctio) Not just for Afro-Americans for EVERYONE!

  • Haha, I feel ya on that.

  • @Chocolatechick20 Did you ever see "Across 110 street " ?

  • One of the baddest scenes in movie history.

  • This is a classic scene it's to bad that so many black males- thug types are so

    turned out on this don't realize that they are trapped in a no win game from the

    20th century.

  • @gat333

    even after watching this movie they still dont get it. There like super fly thats cool baby1

  • Love this scene! I'm so glad I was born in 1971.I can appreciate this music the style and coolness. Pusherman get mellow now..Hot Shit

  • i love this film

  • Damn I wish I could have seen Curtis Mayfield perform live.

  • super bad baby!!!!! Deep throat came out at the same time and Bruce Lee was on the billboard too.

  • This is Pusherman, not Superfly

  • The song "Pusherman" from the movie "Superfly"

  • lol rarenature. you've gotta fucked up looked on life. I like your take.

  • Damn man, I wish I could take a time machine back to the 70s just to party, jive, drive big cars, snort some coke, and be a womanizer. Then when things get really fucked up, come back to 2009.

  • LOL!!! i dig that...

  • If I went back to the 70's could I get my light blue faux denim safari suit back? It had long collars with round tips. That's right...I'm Bad !

  • @rarenature i lived it !!!

  • @rarenature Agree with you thousand percent!

  • @rarenature lol you know whats amazing, they chastise the younger generation for making this music, when they fockin did it themselves..look for bobby womack 110th street.

  • @kfap69 ,you're right,music like this has been around forever, but it was done by adults for adults! WTF happened??

  • @rarenature same as me... unfortunately i was in LA an SF in the 80s first time so i missed the 70s there.... But i saw The Cruzaders 1980 live in Hollywood... with Randy Crawford, and Tom Browne with Funkin for Jamaica, also very very cool but next generation

  • @rarenature HAHAHAHAHA.Me too.I like the way you think

  • @rarenature Amen to dat! Signed and sealed!

  • @rarenature or be like John Shaft, one bad mutha f@@ka!!!:-)

  • @rarenature , no, you don't, brother. I lived through the 70's as a teenager, and it was not that cool; you must remember that this period was during the Vietnam War and school deseg, not to mention inflation and eating commodities. Every generation must live in its own time, and bring their own energy and interpretation to that time. Hard times calls for each of us to make the best out of them - the 70's was just one of those times. Everything else is progress.

  • @4562deedee1 Well put, that was very well said!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @rarenature, no you don't. I was a teenager during the 70's, and it was not a good time; blacks today are still living with the effect of what the Superflies and the Macks did in helping the crime bosses bring drugs and prostitution to them. The communties of the 70s are now the ' hoods of today. Remember, Vietnam, Nixon, and inflation was happening, too. The minimum wage then was about $1.50 an hour, and it did not go far. "The price of the meat - higher than the dope in the street!"

  • @4562deedee1

    Well said

  • @rarenature

    I was young at that time - you would not like it...being controlled by the NWO just like today...a play of death ..rather fight it then you can become a real hero of mankind...

  • @Wecknachricht

    Here we go again, another crazy conspiracy theorist, you expect me to believe that rich bankers and other elites would conspire globally to reduce the population and enslave us? I dont think so buddy, men who wear suits, smile, shake hands and kiss babies would NEVER do that, they are too nice, polite and highly educated to do anything like that;)

  • @lw62005 If the global elites wanted to reduce the population. (And it could be easily done by distributing birth control to the poor). They are doing a poor job of it. Because the population continues to increase. We are headed toward having 7 billion people on the Earth. I remember when it was 4 billion people. So either they are incompetent at achieving their goals or it indeed is not one of their goals.

  • @xbertocoaylax

    "If the global elites wanted to reduce the population. (And it could be easily done by distributing birth control to the poor). They are doing a poor job of it."

    Not only could it happen, ITS BEEN HAPPENING. For example, Planned Parenthood, 1500 African American abortions a day nationwide. Let's take a look at the founder of this wonderful organization's

    founder and her heart warming feelings and views in her own words.

  • @lw62005 Not hard to believe at all. What is hard for many to accept is these philosophies are not only held but heralded by many in the liberal democratic party which espouses totalitarian beliefs. They fight so hard for "women's right to choose" b/c they specifically want Black women to have this right. Of course, Hispanic women aren't far behind in the target but the focus is mainly on Black women.

    On sterilization & racial purification:

    Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial "purification," couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech

  • @xbertocoaylax

    On the right of married couples to bear children:

    Couples should be required to submit applications to have a child, she wrote in her "Plan for Peace." Birth Control Review, April 1932

  • @xbertocoaylax

    On the purpose of birth control:

    On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial minorities:

    "More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12

  • @xbertocoaylax

    On religious convictions regarding sex outside of marriage:

    "This book aims to answer the needs expressed in thousands on thousands of letters to me in the solution of marriage problems... Knowledge of sex truths frankly and plainly presented cannot possibly injure healthy, normal, young minds.

    Concealment, suppression, futile attempts to veil the unveilable - these work injury, as they seldom succeed and only render those who indulge in them ridiculous.

  • @lw62005

    They don't want to hear the truth. Over 50% of African American babies are aborted, that's why it's there. To keep those deemed undesirable from over populating. Great posts though.

  • @johnhailey1980 Where do you get your "theory"? Or is this you own rationale? Come back.

  • @rarenature lets get in a hot tub time machine to enjoy these good times

  • @rarenature haha

  • @jkbezo1 , see above reply.

  • A breath of fresh air

  • This whole alblum was the bomb back in 1972 when I was 19 years old

  • Comment removed

  • they're totally different but i think prince cud b as cool n innovative.

  • one of the best rock and roll songs ever

  • lilomsky i feel that. real talk

  • Please folks this was the best song and movie ever made, they'll never be able to do this again. Curtis my man those were the times the music was great, the clothes were stylish for once, and the cars were huge. And shit was cheap i'm talkin i could get a pack marlboros for like 14 cents it was great you always had money and you always made money. Nothin could get in your way the man never bothered you much and if he did you greased his palm and you were done with it. We'll never get that back.

  • this was off one of the greatest albums ever...from start to finish

  • lilomsky, I'm with you. Great film, incredible soundtrack, from an amazing time.

    I hate to tell you this, but one of the greatest classics from that era, The Taking Of Pelham 123, is being remade with John Travolta and Denzel Washington. It'll probably be a bunch of gangsta crap with no intelligence & a lousy soundtrack.

    You know, I haven't heard a good soundtrack in probably 15 years.

  • Great song, best movie ni..a please! Oh, and I suppose Obama will make things cheap! This socialist fool will bleed you. Trust me. Sadly the Man is Obama and he is going to greasing you and where the sun don't shine.

  • my lecturer always plays this song to us in music theory lessons. its epic

  • some killer side burns. i want to see superfly fight with dolomite. that would make a millions!

  • Check out Eddie grooving to the beat..you guys know the guy playing Eddie is the same guy from the episode of Good Times that was Willon's boyfriend that tried to make a play on Thelma.

  • Yeah wasn't he! That episode was on recently!

  • ROLMAO!!!! Everytime I see Eddie grooving a laugh my butt off. I saw that episode when he tried to score wth Thelma. Can't fault him...Thelma was that fire!

  • Yeah!! Ain't that some funny shit!!! He just sitting and just grooving. It cracks me up everytime Is see him. Wish we had clubs like this again in Chi-town.

  • real deal music, front row

  • look like Osama Bin Laden was in the audience.

  • Wowo my Pops use to dress like that back in the 70s. I know he was a lil "dirty" but heck he came back from the was with nothing but a drug habit, before he got right. Times were tough then in big cities (Chicago). Had to make money some how.

  • I meant to say he came back from the war.
