This my old neighborhood. I used to live around the corner from the store that those boys ran out of. At 1:02 that tall building is a hospital, with a blimpie and a chick-fila on the ground floor, LOL. See only us southerners know of Chick-fila.

[Fuzion20056]

chick filet fucking owns.

[magitinacopper]

Their food taste so good, but they're a little too expensive.

[pocketbeat301202]

[magitinacopper]

I know some northerners (from Maine) and they said they never knew about it until they moved down here in ATL.

[KISO]

I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO

someone want to chat A0

[DBoi333]

In the beginning part, I used to think it said "Gangsta white booooooys. TV antennas in the back!" I've heard the sample, "Be Thankful for What You Got" a million times but that came up in my head out of no where.

[XSweetBloodedTearzX]

i always thought it was gangsta whitewalls...

[DBoi333]

...which is correct.

[916pun]

someone want to chat

lovin this video!! leave me a comment Ea

[SexyJessi09]

i remebered when this came out!... i felt like it was like one of Luda's positive songs..lol

[yojustskate]

great song

[djimpelr]

It's that church organ with that wood box next too it. Ever wonder what was in that box? That clicking noise after notes and all?

LOL

[k00lkaz]

0:55

[johnbfrommd]

in this video that may be the case, but i don't think that w. devaughn intended the 'diamond' to refer to a Lincoln, else why would he be singin about driving a Cadillac? it is still confusing.

[easternplayalistic32]

yo gives you memories man

especially that part when the other kids call for him at the window

reminds of my past summers

[hippyhippyhippy38]

Diamond in the back = Some extra money stored away for If you might ever need it.

[lbenack]

it's not a song by curtis mayfield, its william devaughn "be thankful for what you've got"

[johnbfrommd]

what's a diamond in the back?

[youngjoc222]

Itz a song that waz made by Curtis Mayfeild.

[johnbfrommd]

na homie, i mean what does he refer to when he says a diamond in the back? a chandoleer? i was a lil confused on whut he meant, n its a song that was actually written by william devaughn and inspired by mayfield, it thought the same thing too

[kaschap28]

The "Lincoln" logo...it looks like a diamond...hence: diamond in the back...

[kaschap28]

He's talking about his dream car the whole time...he drives it in the video. Diamond in the back= Lincoln logo. Sunroof top, and "diggin the scene with a gangster lean"= hydraulics

[Coltsie]

its the diamond shape located in the cadillac in the back window...youll see what im talkin about, jus pause the video at 0:55 and it will explain itself

[sponserdsk8ter]

yeah lol

[lilrob951]

real words

[NaWbUdDii]

haha cute afro puffs!

"so confused chewin on some bubble gum lol"

[datdude5620]

the beat is ice cold mad propz to whoever produced this

[Jeezay999]

[TheReaper113]

Diamond in the Back is A Cadillac!! Smart ones!! Good Song though

[windex84]

Ok, you should just leave the all time classic great music alone. Curtis Mayfield R.I.P they totally destroyed your message in the song.

[satam55]

I remember this video. I love this song, How the hell this song flop? I remember this was his first ever song to flop.

[charvez12]

DJ Paul and Juicy did the beat so hard!

[wilders636]

[skyblue45678]

i love the videos w/all the georgia rappers in it

[joshgibson]

the only reason this song is good is because the origional is amazing

[namegoesherex]

ooohhh everyone's going to hate me, but i agree with you. 100%. when i watch this, i only watch it for the chorus..

[DIAMONDSTREET13CL]

DIAMOND IN THE BACK

[edditor]

This sucks. It just shows the lack of talent today. Sampling a classic song and rapping. I would give him credit if it were a remake and he could pull off the singing.

[tristandrews]

I like this song this one great

[superfreshguy]

straight classic

[tha3rdwheel]

Listen to the lupe fiasco version. if you from Chicago.

[gotsteeze92]

the Lupe Version kills this

[Beyspain]

can somebody say me whos that baby of the video?pls

[jjjj2aaa3]

That is Ludacris' baby daughter KARMA.

[ssgtterry]

classic song to rhyme over but a terrible video, to show a lincoln continental in a video which has a song talking about a cadillac is treason. it would be like run dmc singing my adidas while wearing "just do it shirts.

[nmosby1990]
