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.
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
@@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
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.
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.
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
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.
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 💯
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
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.
My uncle Aaron showed me this song. Said back in the day it was the anthem of his crew in a way. He passed last week. Letting a few tears shed. Just a few, I can hear him now, "boy quit crying, I'm alright, just keep living and staying safe." Hard to believe he's gone. I'll never forget you uncle Aaron, I'm sorry I wasn't there enough for you. Rest easy, tell Grandpa Larry about us.
I remember when I first saw this video on BET back in '02, my older brother (who was an underground rapper himself back then) said, "Now *THIS* is true hip hop." Couldn't agree more.
I remember this and g code old school. I cant remember or find that other song where hes shouting out all the hoods in the music video. I know I'm not crazy I remember that music video but I cant remember the name or find the song.
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.

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..

Here after watching the fourth and final season of On My Block. A very bittersweet but beautiful ending to an incredible show.
R.I.P. Marisol Martinez 🥲🥲
@@Braylon1997 for real
This song is like fine wine, age just makes it more quality.
Too bad it ain’t like this no more though

thats true and his songs are off the hook
Tru N LiViN the best!!!
Tru N LiViN so is your mum
Not underrated in dis house comprende
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 TH-cam.
As they should! It's so fitting! ;)
This track still hits like it did way back when hip hop was at it's purest
To this day, I declare this one of the best music videos I’ve seen!
Word up!
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
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
So sorry
Came out in 2002 when I was 18 just starting to live life.Glad to be alive 18 years later💯💯💯
R.I.P.
God bless🙏🏾
Oh noooo... I'm so sorry♥️♥️
Back in the days when hip hop is not about p****y
I’m sad that it’s over, but it was just so amazing!!! I love On My Block :)

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.

I waited so long for them to play this song in the show On my Block, they done FINALLY DID IT!

The only reason i watched the show is because it reminded me of the song😂
It should've been the theme song
One of the last real songs of our time. Everything he said was true
One of the best songs in hiphop ever
Indeed!
Among a million others
yessur
Some rap and hip hop tracks surpass poetic genius. This is one of them.
Yeeees, but I Like the clean versions
STILETTO GAL nobody asked
That's true
Nowadays hip hop is bullshit
Rodrigo França yep
Rest In Peace Spooky🙏🏾

Rip spooky too
Mijo it will be alright
Q.E.P.D Abuelita, Spooky and Olivia.
I got so hyped hearing this on on my block
Same I always wondered why they never used this song for the show. It was a pleasant surprise to finally hear it at the ending of the show On My Block
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?
@@TheRamohl 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.
@@TheRamohl It is also used on Cordae's "Bad Idea".
"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🤗

Shoutout to Netflix's ON MY BLOCK for using this as their series finale Outro! 💯
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
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.
Bone: It's an Everyday Thang
*Brittany spears:oops I did it again*
*Iceberg slim: shut up bitch*
He narrated a whole story of his life in 3:34 seconds
That's the Black American experience in the belly of the beast.

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
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 💯
