About this episode
The episode discusses the 1972 film 'Super Fly', its soundtrack, and the character Priest's struggles.
Eric, Jeff, Styles, Sheek and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to break down the 1972 blaxploitation crime drama film starring Ron O'Neal and soundtracked by Curtis Mayfield. We discussed perhaps the greatest movie soundtrack ever, how the film leaped a number of hurdles, the biggest headaches that Neal's character Priest has to deal with on a given day, the realities of wanting to get out of the drug game, whether he has a valid driver's license, if there was any place where he wouldn't sniff coke, the legendary A Great Day in Harlem photo shoot, what's more important in a fight - heart or technique - and so much more!!!
