[ForumAcontrario]

Ania Dabrowska's version is much better ;)

[spookx]

like if Fran Lucas brought you here

[GalacticChicken]

Could someone tell me what the line 'A woman trying to catch a trick on the street' means? Does it mean that the woman is a prostitude, looking for a customer, or is she looking for a break, an escape from it? Thx!

[sofagirrl]

@GalacticChicken Well since this song is about living in a ghetto and not Disneyland,I would place a high wager it's about prostitutes.

[Javjean]

@sofagirrl

Many references to drug use. But the hook would corroborate your idea. I think it might be about drug prostitutes.

[Bullitthiphop]

@GalacticChicken yeah trick is/was slang for a punter

[KiloTHEDon10]

@GalacticChicken its exactly the first one you said

[KiloTHEDon10]

@GalacticChicken yea its the first one you said

[littlemick1192]

@GalacticChicken tryin to get a customer 

[hbkx2]

American Gangster! :)

[cenizaswacho]

American Gangster!!

[tacodias]

Please... Jackie Brown was a great movie! But saying you're listening to this brilliant music because of it is just silly!

[MrShaunwheatley]

@tacodias why

[doc2skate]

Yaphet Kotto: The baddest brother to never star in his own movie, but never played a mediocre role. Tough to do. Great post

[AzizTR1]

@braxxxala hahaha true I was thinking I now remembered :D.Thanks man.

[EMgentle01]

The movie "Across 110th Street"...where this originally comes from, is off the hook. It's one of my 70's top 10 movies, who haven't seen it should check it out.

[JalandharShere]

@EMgentle01... believe brother. it is a true classic and so underrated. Anthony Quinn was class. And so was "POPE". not sure wot hes real name although i believe he has passed away. RIP to both of you guys.

You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure, because 110th Street's a hell of a tester.

Don't ever say " I'd never...". There's 110th Streets everywhere.

[MsTalithaCumi]

Somebody I know did this sample like back in 05 06 & that was my 1st time hearing this song...but once i heard it I went back & FELL in LOVE. The Lyrics are Real & His Voice is Amazing! Then American Gangster came out & woooo it still is Relevant to today's Society!!

[Celluloidkid]

title song, by Bobby Womack, was a #19 hit on the Billboard Top Black Singles chart in 1973, and was later featured in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 blaxploitation homage Jackie Brown. It is also heard in Ridley Scott's 2007 American Gangster, and as a background song for the video game True Crime: New York City.

[Celluloidkid]

Love this song in: "Jackie Brown"!

[MrWINNSLAW]

"I was 1yr old when this song made its debut-and-the situation has gone from street level to living room level!"

[ocarinafan2008]

screw some pig (Cop) show, gorillaz brought me here.

[Celluloidkid]

Looooove this song!! Thanks for the upload! Peace!.

[GameJudge]

When I listen to this, I imagine a solider walking around with a pimp cane, strutting his bling. BUT HEY THAT'S JUST ME

Hey everyone has problems and there are good people who are in bad situations. dont be so ignorant as to think you are better, instead understand that everyone deserves a chance and realize that person in the hood could have been you and you would want kindness not ignorance right ? anyway I love this song :)

[LPMC723]

This is some good fuckin music

[onehungblackboy]

Across 110th street nowdays theyd say ur doing pretty good,looks like downtown in Harlem!!

[leafyP]

Get out of the ghetto, but don't come to my small town because you bring the ghetto crime with you.

[occlusian]

@leafyP You can't stop the onslaught of...high-quality music? Don't come to your small town? Who, Bobby Womack? Pan Grier? :D

[kainefenton]

@leafyP thats right the small towns dont want competition of meth sells and other good 'ol boy crimes

[BurritoDiablo]

@leafyP your parents committed a serious crime raising you, dumb ass. People that are trying to escape the ghetto are not trying to bring their crimes elsewhere.

[TheAltair4]

Amazing song!

[Johnlindsey289]

@TheAltair4

It is and i own the soundtrack, Tarantino has good taste in music.

[MrBigzo84]

AMERICAN GANGSTER!!!!

[the2009guy]

@MrBigzo84 Nah, more like the ''poor'' american person who barely pays billd

[lightbulberer]

errr thumbs up if true crime nyc DIDN'T bring you here

and you just like the proper classics and have a musical ear and knowledge

[2517tommy]

@lightbulberer Does it really matter how anyone was brought here if they enjoy it? Bit elitist of you

[johnpll12]

@lightbulberer Such a huge love of the classics that you're listening to them on Youtube? Get a grip of yourself you sad, pathetic little cretin.

[lightbulberer]

@johnpll12 Hey you feeling ok??? Bit of an outburst there!!!

I would say that seen as im not the one who goes out of there way to write and leave silly ass childish nasty comments for people, That it's you who in your words is ''SAD,PATHETIC,LITTLE CRETIN, i think you need to get out more seriously!!! maybe get laid ??? coz i'm 100% certain you have no girl/boy freind and haventfor a very long time, And as for listing to classics on youtube??? what you on about you crazy warped lonly person

[ShadowAgentFox]

@lightbulberer jackie brown brought me here..lol

[ThirdStreetSaint777]

[MandelbudetReturns]

One of the best songs that I have ever heard

[VintageLewis]

I bet this would sound awsome when driving in NY at nightime.

[shawngulledge]

this was rap music before there was rap music.
