Never could listen to this song only once. It's too short to sound so good. I always had to play it at least 3 times in a row. R.I.P genius Curtis Mayfield.
Ikr...Curtis was a 🎶Bad Mother Shut Your Mouth 🎶He NEVA Got The Probs he deserved 🏆🏆🏆Man ,just your acknowledge Is Dope !! Hats Off 2 Another Bad Brother Give Yourself A Hand 👏👏👏👀❤
So true many parents get caught up in this and live through their child/children and the child is miserable and will always have issues in life because of it.
Happy birthday to Curtis Mayfield who would've celebrated his 74th birthday today, the Superfly guy who was one of the biggest voices in the 70s, really revolutionised Soul music with his conscious lyrics, also produced one of the biggest Blaxploitation albums which this track comes from, the 1972 Superfly which along with Isaac Haye's Shaft remains the 2 most popular
CURTIS IS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SOUL,FUNK,POP, R&B,.....HE IS THE GREATEST!THIS MAN IS THE ARCHITECT, ALONG WITH JAMES BROWN,OF ALL MUSIC WE KNOW TODAY! HE INVENTED THE FUNKY, SOUL OPERA! IF YOU WERE BORN TO LATE AND MISSED THE LATE 60'S - 70'S,TAKE A LISTEN TO ALL OF CURTIS MAYFIELDS' MUSIC....AND THEN DR0P TO YOUR KNEES AND THANK HIM FOR SAVING YOUR LIFE!

The Generation who came behind us never understood that EDDIE And Willie hutch;s "SLICK" were REAL characters in our every day lives, anyone over 50 will tell u that!!! Stranger still we all knew they were Gaming but somehow u ended up getting ld hit anyway!!!
I have a fine taste for this kinda music because even though im 29 my mom is a baby boomer and she played this all the time. I miss when music truly had a message compared to this absolute garbage we have today
I would listen to this song while driving around Los Santos, then i noticed back in December 2017 they added another Curtis Mayfield song on that blonded radio
Black man's true messenger. Listen and learn all my young brothers in this world. You cannot be a Eddie in this world , it will catch up with you ! ( if u know what I mean) Enough said !!!

“8-Track Stereo, color T.V. in every room, and can snort a half a piece of dope everyday? That's the American Dream, nigga! Well, ain't it? You better come on in.”
It would be so so difficult to explain that this way from experience does not work to the younger generation, but with breath in my lungs to the end I will not give up trying to teach them, God willing.... I'm 66 vears old
This should have been the Thriller (Michael Jackson) of it's time, ALL HITS and classics! More samples than a Giant Eagle on a holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When they took the father out of the home, all began to suffer. Now it's 2018 and the result shows. Each member in the family, has a defined role. Remove either and a vacuum is created for evil. Over compensation for either roles (mother/father) confuses the offspring. Children receiving discipline for trespasses never killed anyone. As a matter of fact, it kept many out of the prison system. It is always easier to bend a twig than a tree. The twig bends. The tree breaks! This is coming from a Sixty Year Old Male! Never been to jail. Retired from the military. And received plenty of whippings as a child! TRUTH
☯ A L I E N S ☯ It's all about his roots and inspirations. Flying Lotus comes from a hip-hop inspired background and has sampled Mayfield himself in the past - it's likely he wanted this song on his station as a way of showing his respect for him.
"When there's something to lose through His personal loss And the friend pays the cost all the time Must be something that's freezin' his mind That has made him, through greed so very blind" What exactly is Eddie doing in this song? I'm having a hard time with the ending.
+Fila0220 The song is about how Eddie sold out his friends, his community, and his soul, for money and power. Its a damn shame the message of this song is still relevant to this day...
The song is a metaphor .... It's about people with SHADY characteristics and crooked dispositions from the start. And they are people who don't have a heart . And how you have to always be on guard to avoid them at all cost . Getting involved with them , will likely lead to your own demise . Everybody knows someone like " EDDIE " . Eddie is not just a street character like a pimp or a dealer . Eddie is a gold digging woman , who marries for money . Eddie is the black widow that kills a spouse for Life Insurance policies . Eddie's the girl that purposely causes injury to her friend . In order to take her place in the cheerleading competition . Eddie is Evan Chandler or Janet Arvizo . The bible says " The thief come but to kill , steal , and destroy . Well that who Eddie is and what he's all about . " EDDIE " is always up to no good . Always looking for a way to get over ; at other peoples expense . Always trying to run a con game , and leave other's on the hook for it . Whoever coined the phrase " There's a sucker born every minute " . They were talking about Eddie ..... because that's what he's always thinking .

Vetti
I also cruise to this.
I even follow the flow of the traffic because the song just calls for smooth ridin'.
Real talk 💯
Vetti hahhahaa I do the same shit
“We planned and worked so hard from the very start, tried to make you better than all the rest”....my favorite part of the song it really hits home
So true many parents get caught up in this and live through their child/children and the child is miserable and will always have issues in life because of it.
if only more of the young black generation could vibe to this here and there
+RNAissance Exactly, and that's coming from someone who was born in '96.
+RNAiSSANCE You're right, and I'm a 2001 baby.
I was born in the 80's. I don't like anything passed 2000. I should've been born in the 60's so I could enjoy the 70's. I'm retro...
just more of the younger generation in general
rnaissance curtis Mayfield is a legend you hear!!!!!!
I can listen to this over and over and over

Does it Get Any Smoother 😎
Story of my life.
You know who Eddie is? He is everybody's friend but sometimes you wonder now and then.
“8-Track Stereo, color T.V. in every room, and can snort a half a piece of dope everyday? That's the American Dream, nigga!
Well, ain't it?
You better come on in.”
Classic.
It would be so so difficult to explain that this way from experience does not work to the younger generation, but with breath in my lungs to the end I will not give up trying to teach them, God willing.... I'm 66 vears old
My favorite song off this album.......fuckin Eddie smh
I'm 28 but ik Curtis giving you all the game 💯
OMG I know way too many people (relatives & friends) that this song applies to.
This should have been the Thriller (Michael Jackson) of it's time, ALL HITS and classics! More samples than a Giant Eagle on a holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I heard this joint, Every dude I meet and he tell me "Eddie" is his name I look at him sideways and this song pops in my head. True story
Lol!!!
Fuck you nigga
STILL PIMPIN!
Ooh shit is that snoop over there ooh shit 😂
Rip William Burks 😢 we listened to thus as teenagers

Must be something that freezing his mind !! Oh man CURTIS
Why the fuck is this track in the FlyLo fm station in GTA V and not the Lowdown 91.1 station? im so confused
It was originally supposed to be on there but for some reason they gave it to fly lo
AyoJack 24 weird, this is real old school soul. totally doesnt fit on that station but o well.
☯ A L I E N S ☯ It's all about his roots and inspirations. Flying Lotus comes from a hip-hop inspired background and has sampled Mayfield himself in the past - it's likely he wanted this song on his station as a way of showing his respect for him.
Maybe it was a mix up or they just did it because it's the last station you'd expect it to be on
cause flylo is fucken awesome hahaha
Still Pimpin!
Crema - En casa 🖤
yeah very good
Eddie sold out his main man to the police. Greed
Fly got outta that shit though with the cash
IF I COULD MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS AND SING LIKE THIS I BELIEVE I COULD HAVE ANY WOMAN I DESIRE....PURE FIRE🔥
tommyyy wrighttttt
Well that's the way it burns but stay focused on you and yours it will be just fine brother.
Cevlade me inculcaste pedazos de temas, y cultivaste junto a las influencias de mi padre un gusto en mi por esta preciosa época musical
I found this song on gta 5 👍👍👍👍👍 I think snoop Dogg used this track in an interlude on his doggy style album. OG
Eddie you should know Better
Busta Rhymes sampled this really well. "Betta Stay Up In Ur House"
You stop and ask a man for directions. You wake up the next day in the trunk of your car
Blain County is very dangerous!
"When there's something to lose through
His personal loss
And the friend pays the cost all the time
Must be something that's freezin' his mind
That has made him, through greed so very blind"
What exactly is Eddie doing in this song? I'm having a hard time with the ending.
