Pros: gives a good message to the upcoming youth..

Cons: there are really no cons because the songs are so powerful and uplifting it tells you how the world is in the ghetto.

i think this is the best cd that is out there because it gives off a good message and curtis mayfield is one of the best storytellers that there was i am only 22 years old and i can relate to some of the things he talked about in his songs..another t...hing is that i was a little child running wild but i calmed down before it was to late Read more Less

SUPERFLY: DELUXE 25TH ANNIVERSARY

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 16, 2003

I was in high school and living in publichousing when the SUPERFLY movie and original soundtrack first came out. Back then, I enjoyed that vinyl album immensely. The 25thanniversary deluxe CD is the greatest. In this two CD set, there is the original... album. On disc two,there is another version of FREDDIESDEAD. There is GHETTO CHILD, which is anotherversion of LITTLE CHILD RUNNING WILD. WOW!!!GHETTO CHILD is so awesome by being more bluesyand emothional, it would have been an excellentchoice on the first vinyl album. As a matter offact, THE WHOLE DISC TWO should have been included in the original score! For those of you who will buy this CD for the first time,you will certainly enjoy. However, for those ofyou who lived through the seventies,who saw the movie and first listened to SUPERFLY on33 and a third and you now want experience themusic and the memories on CD, I GUARANTEE thatyou will enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! RHINO RECORDSshould be commended for putting this compilation together. Even the package layoutis slick because there is a photo from a scenein the movie prompted by a lyric from one ofthe songs. SUPERFLY DELUXE 25TH ANNIVERSARYCD is indeed worth twice the money. Read more Less

As a kid, I've played this album many times over. This album inspired many R&B, hip-hop and rap artists. I love the title track as well as, Pusherman, Little Child Running Wild and Freddie's Dead. Everyone in the field should give thanks to this tal...ented artist for such tremendous work. Read more Less
