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 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
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 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.
Ice Cube: Today Was A Good Day... Scarface: [Yeah] On My Block... Me: Nigga don't believe that song, that nigga's wrong, gangstas don't live that long.
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 actually terrifying, all these years later and nothing has changed. In fact, things have probably gotten worse. Money continues to calcify at the top, it's sad how we assume the people on the T.V screen are the most talented. When in reality there's billions of humans all over the world who were just as good if not better, they just didn't have the opportunity.
Thats life.. It's all karma and god. Only way to comprehend it. We're all just pawns and everything is a game. Thousands of talented beautiful souls go unnoticed and disappear into oblivion
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.
“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
I remember this song and listened to it a lot when I was young, but never saw the music video, or if I did, I didn't remember. Watching it now, the storytelling in the video is incredible. One of the best music videos I've ever seen.
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.
Top 10 Rap Songs Of All Time for Storytelling... The transition to the amazing 80s-90s to the 2000s...end of an era... Incredible good vibe and memories,knowing that an era like that will never come back again... I'm Sad and i have goosebumps
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.
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 💯

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
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?
"WE MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE LOOK EASY"
One of the last real songs of our time. Everything he said was true
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 CZcams.
As they should! It's so fitting! ;)

"What is in the beginning will be in the end" so true dat says a lot

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every day, it's been the same old thang on my block
You either working or you slanging cocaine on my block
You had to hustle, cause that's how we was raised on my block
And you stayed on your hop until you made you a knot
On my block, to hang out was the thing back then
And even when you left out, you came back in
To my block, from Holloway, Bellfort, to Scott
Reed Road to Phlox, we know the spots
Smoke weed and rocks, drink all the blue dots
On your block, you pro'ly bred a Fat Pat or 2Pac
Or Big Pun, or B-I, your homeboys from knee-high
And even when it was storming outside, that nigga'd be by
That's me, dog, on my block, I ain't have to play the big shot
Niggas knew me back when I was stealing beers from Shamrock
And my nickname was "Creepy"
If Black June could see me, he'd be tripping
And I'd bet he still try to tease me
[Hook]
My block, where everything is everything, for sheezy
My block, we probably done it all, homey, believe me
My block, we made the impossible look easy, for sheezy
My block, I'd never leave my block, my niggas need me
[Verse 2]
On my block, we duck the nigga-haters and the cops
Fuck a IROC, we race Impalas, chromed-out
On my block, it ain't no different than the next block
You get drunk and pass out, and they back you to the house
And when you wake up on the couch, you going right back at it
On my block, when you're that fucked up, they laugh at it
On my block, it's just another day in the heart
Of the Southside of Houston Texas, making your mark
On my block, we're cuing all the time, playing dominoes
Keep the Swishers sweet down until my mama goes back inside
Then we can fire, pass it around a few times to get high
[Hook]
My block, where everything is everything, for sheezy
My block, we probably done it all, homey, believe me
My block, we made the impossible look easy, for sheezy
My block, I'd never leave my block, my niggas need me
[Verse 3]
On my block, everybody business ain't your business
What's going on in this house is staying here, comprende?
On my block, you had to have that understanding
Cause if you told Ms. Mattie, she went and told Gladys
And once your mama got it, it was all on the wire
And when the word got back, they set your ass on fire
On my block, we got some 'Nam vets, shellshocked
Who never quite got right; now, they inhale rocks
On my block, it's like the world don't exist
We stay confined to this small, little section we living in
Oh, my block, I wouldn't trade it for the world
Cause I love these ghetto boys and girls
Born and raised on my block
[Hook]
My block, where everything is everything, for sheezy
My block, we probably done it all, homey, believe me
My block, we made the impossible look easy, for sheezy
My block, I'd never leave my block, my niggas need me
one of hip hops greatest songs
