Yes I agree totally by me being 47 years old and a grandfather now. I remember back when my daughters were little bitty girls they ask how was like growing up and Stop 6 Fort Worth Texas. I played this video to show them what it was like growing up in the 80s and 90s. But now all my young girls are grown now.
@@c.k2548 its lame af bro corny stuff being mentioned on this great music video makin me cringe. go watch the wire or hbo's oz or other better crime series.
I'm trippin...all these years looking at this video I'm just realizing this is a progression of Scarface being born at the beginning of the video, his kid and teen years, and finally to the end of the video where he was when the song was made
I get emotional every time I see this video I’m 30 this came out when I was 12 it’s gets me every time I’m from the hood made it out yet I still feel so bad my brother was murdered when I was 16
Tupac, Nas & Scarface's music always paint pictures to show you their emotions with seeing the videos. there's not a lot of poets/ storytellers left in the Rap game. R.I.P Tupac Shakur.
Undisputed GOAT!!! Greatest story teller ever...Brad Scarface Jordan has no equal in my opinion...The flow..the voice..the delivery...Y'all better recognize greatness
This video is such a beautiful work of art. It's unapologetically black. The continuous pan is crazy. Especially since it's from right to left. Amazing.
I am a huge 2pac fan but when it comes to " My Block " Scarface is the hands down winner......awesome song......Scarface doesnt get enough love as one of the top hip hop artists of all time.....Im not going to name my other 3 but I would put him on my mount Rushmore of hip hop.
“It’s like the world doesn’t exist/we stay confined to this small section we livin in” damn that’s so real so truth - only other parts of the world we see outside this is on TV or downtown
Crazyyy how a song feels like home, just brings up memories of better & good times my block with bbqs, laughter, outside all day moms home-cooked meals feeding the entire hood.. life was just so simple & easy then
Video is dope af. Showing all the things he been through to get where he is and at the end shows how even though he evolved as a person some things in the hood never change. Dope 💯
This ones for my brother G Money and all the homies that died holding down our block! Rest up y’all! Old school til the end. Peace to Scarface much love from East Harlem
Damn this song is 20 yrs old now. I remember just being a high schooler in the ‘South side of H-town’ when it came out. This classic from Houston’s finest rapper is now so nostalgic.
I don't think there's another music video that even comes close to capturing life, in such a realistic and relatable way, like this video. This would have been a career defining record for most rappers, but for Scarface...
Facemob is just to fine a taste for the average radio ear. This here is certified goated. As is his whole career. He is a favorite rappers favorite rapper guy. Dont get it twisted tho., Even if J Prince is acting abit messy lately Rap-A-Lot had the rapgame cookin from 90s into the 2000s - This album is Def Jam south i guess. I mean peep the lineup Bun B. Pimp C, Z-Ro. , Mike Dean. , Juvenile. , Geto Boys. Trae tha Truth., Scarface. +++++ Rip Pimp C and Bushwick Bill. Its been a minute yall.edit : WIth Def Jam South ofc. Wich this is on. The South was a big factor when i was growing up. Man, now i need to instantly listen to "Still Tippin* Good evening :)
when you come to think about this video. it's actually pretty heartbreaking. but it's the cycle life. I love the way they juxtaposition the beginning and ending.... Scarface always had some of the best music videos.
One of my FAVORITE Hip Hop beats... the pianos in it... so beautiful. I'm always drawn to a beautiful melody... and this one has it. Its one of those melodies that draws you in without lyrics. Such a simple beat... very repetitive... much like Life in the ghetto... simple and repetitive. Like he said in the song about how they stay confined to their small environment... its simple... and the music captures that. Such a great song. I had to come find this song because I just scrolled across an underground artist on Soundcloud who used this beat to spit some bars on. Had to cut it off real quick and come get the real thing. Timeless song, Scarface. TIMELESS.
+Tjebchenko Dude, hilarious u think Jaz-O did this. It was sampled from Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's "Be Real Black For Me" If you're gonna call someone out for not knowing the sh*t, at least know yours first.
I miss this HipHop 🥹
Me too, i'm 12 years, tanks dad
All day
For real, old-school rap had a message.

To this day, I declare this one of the best music videos I’ve seen!

Definitely up there with other great vids like Kanye's Heard Em Say
Reminds me of Goodfellas when they're walking through the restaurant.
Ha juvenile
Todd Michael Johnson easily
Born in raised in Detroit. This song hits. I can relate. This song was my life growing up
SCARFACE IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED GOATS IN HIP HOP HISTORY AND HAS TO BE COMPARED TO THE LIKES OF NASTY, PAC, BIG AND PUN
+okmann98 You mention Pun(most overrated Mc ever),but don't mention Rakim,Krs One,Guru,or R.A.??
+Chtud rakim and KRS are you favorite rappers favorite rapper. Guru to me is the greatest of all time.
+Chtud R. A is a closer to being an actual goat than a G.O.A.T.
+Chtud Pun overrated!! wow..
+okmann98 Big L, Ice Cube?
Best ending song for “on my block” 100%

Just watched the Tiny Desk Concert and I had to come back to listen. This song hits different
Same!
Thank god for tiny desk

Kanye West's Jeen-Yuhs brought me here. He's in the credits.

That sample is pure perfection - simple and yet so damn catchy. The nostalgia hits hard. What a classic!
For real though
This sample has been used many times. Check out "World Famous" By M.O.P.
@@brianlove5817 Does anyone know what the original song was that this sample came from?
@@dontwantone-z4t The begging of Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway's "Be Real Black for Me". It's just the first 4 or 5 seconds looped and sped up.
@@dontwantone-z4t It is also used on Cordae's "Bad Idea".

Here after watching the fourth and final season of On My Block. A very bittersweet but beautiful ending to an incredible show.

hearing this at the end of OMB S4 hit different man.
such a great song.
fuh real
we watched those kids grow up:(
Yesss
Bruh
On god I was in my feels
The creativity in this video is unmatched
They don't play good shit like this on TV or Radio anymore...What a damn shame!!!
Probably because ppl can't make good music like this anymore.

107.3 in Seattle Washington there's a great throw back station there but I had to go from kc to Washington to find it

Undisputed GOAT!!! Greatest story teller ever...Brad Scarface Jordan has no equal in my opinion...The flow..the voice..the delivery...Y'all better recognize greatness
Scarface is the most legendary underrated rapper in the game
We used to bump this in the dorms in college. Good times
We still bump this on My Block.
I was a kid when they had this in MTV countdown
The real good old days
hey 🤣
@@iamhowiam2862 q
Scarface is one of the greatest emcees of all time.
This video is such a beautiful work of art. It's unapologetically black. The continuous pan is crazy. Especially since it's from right to left. Amazing.
"What is in the beginning will be in the end" so true dat says a lot
I knew the show On My Block would eventually play this song on the series!!
They just did in the final scene, knew the same was gonna happen as well!
That was the best way end the show!!!!
@@ThaTGanGTV Ik idk but I always thought of that song when I was watching on my block😅
It's ok. Typical anti white leftist propaganda though. As the case with Netflix and UA-cam.
As they should! It's so fitting! ;)
I’m sad that it’s over, but it was just so amazing!!! I love On My Block :)
Same
I’ll never be able to view gnomes the same way
Yeah😔
@@maddoxcindy5017 lol Great
Same🥲
Scarface has always been extremely underrated. This is one of Hip Hop;s dopest gems
Rest in peace to everybody who died, or got killed in the hood, and had a pair of shoes thrown on the power wires in order to remember them by.
Kobies Boxing shoes on the power wires for us meant where to find the dealers haha not anymore cause obviously pigs caught on
Fr tho💯

I’ve loved this song since I was little but I’d never seen the video… Jesus Christ. Scarface is a GOAT
Top 5 all time
The visuals are amazing story telling in itself ! I always wondered who edited this masterpiece of a video...
"On my block I wouldn't trade it for the world, cause I love these ghetto boys and girls, born and raised" On my block 👍
That's actually my Block🤗

It hits hard when he said “on yo block you prob bred a fat pat, 2pac, big pun or b.i yo home boys from knee high” Rip legends 🙏🙏
Some shit will go hard 4ever.
This Scarface joint is one of them..
I waited so long for them to play this song in the show On my Block, they done FINALLY DID IT!
YESSS!!
The only reason i watched the show is because it reminded me of the song😂
It should've been the theme song
Shout out to everyone listening in 2016. Good music never dies.

Video is dope af. Showing all the things he been through to get where he is and at the end shows how even though he evolved as a person some things in the hood never change. Dope 💯
still one of the best hip hop beats ever made
Sample from a Bill withers song

It’s the end of an era, imma miss on my block
Gets Me Choked Up Thinking about This Journey We Get Through & Reminisce Back On.
It's like a moving art canvass of life on his block.
Damn this song is 20 yrs old now. I remember just being a high schooler in the ‘South side of H-town’ when it came out. This classic from Houston’s finest rapper is now so nostalgic.
If u r watching this in 2023 your music taste is off the charts

I don't think there's another music video that even comes close to capturing life, in such a realistic and relatable way, like this video. This would have been a career defining record for most rappers, but for Scarface...
Facemob is just to fine a taste for the average radio ear. This here is certified goated. As is his whole career. He is a favorite rappers favorite rapper guy.
Dont get it twisted tho., Even if J Prince is acting abit messy lately Rap-A-Lot had the rapgame cookin from 90s into the 2000s - This album is Def Jam south i guess. I mean peep the lineup Bun B. Pimp C, Z-Ro. , Mike Dean. , Juvenile. , Geto Boys. Trae tha Truth., Scarface. +++++ Rip Pimp C and Bushwick Bill. Its been a minute yall.edit : WIth Def Jam South ofc. Wich this is on.

Whatever film crew that filmed this video needs an award. Amazing work.
they don't make them like this anymore. salute scar face.
Just discovered this today and can I say... best discovery I've made this year❤
That piano ,the flow... storytelling on another level....One of the greatest hip hop tracks of all time
when you come to think about this video. it's actually pretty heartbreaking. but it's the cycle life. I love the way they juxtaposition the beginning and ending....
Scarface always had some of the best music videos.
The saddest part is that it is still going on.
Yeah like the scene where it showed the guy getting into a altercation after playing basketball then showed a memorial of him after got me

Scarface... Simply the best rapper of all times.
Yo OG Scarface classic song

INSTANT CLASSIC from THE DAY it came out! Beat, verses, hook, and music video. LOVE FACE for this one! 💽
