"Little Child, Runnin' Wild" was so striking in how it set the tone for the movie. Really elevated things. That drama remains w/o visuals.

"Where is the mayor who makes all things fair?/He lives outside our polluted air." Mayfield didn't need a time machine. #classicalbumtweets

Just the way the strings play out are so somber. No solution is offered. It's as if Mayfield understood the cruel cycle. #classicalbumtweets

"Pusherman" scene is one of my all-time favorites. I'm a sucker for still photo montages #classicalbumtweets pic.twitter.com/x2fc1c74cg

It always stuck with me as a kid. Wasn't necessarily glamorous, but definitely cool. Especially that groove. pic.twitter.com/DBmgMEWyIN

Superfly is one of those albums that probably birthed a thousand samples. Before even hearing the album, I knew "Freddie's Dead."

The true achievement of the Superfly soundtrack is the honesty depicting a hustler's lifestyle while remaining lush. #classicalbumtweets

When Mayfield involved, it elevated it to art. And this was before hip hop, mind you. Very sympathetic eye to circumstances that breed crime

Not much to say about "Junkie Chase" except it def. sounds like the music that would play if a junkie were being chased. #classicalbumtweets

Shhhh... "Give me your love, give me your love" pic.twitter.com/n8QsoHcNES

"Give Me Your Love" is so undeniably sensual. I can't think of it playing and at least a massage not happening. #classicalbumtweets

Totally forgot that "Eddie You Should Know Better" never made it into the film. Provides a lot of depth for a supporting character.

"No Thing On Me" is my least favorite, which is unfair b/c an album as grim as this probably needs hope. Flow is slightly altered.
— Eloquent 2-Year Old (@hecticivan) January 10, 2015
Opening guitar work on "Think" gets me every time. It's so reflective and remorseful, much like Priest was at a certain point in the film.
— Eloquent 2-Year Old (@hecticivan) January 10, 2015
Curtis Mayfield will make you cry over a drug dealer. #classicalbumtweets
— Eloquent 2-Year Old (@hecticivan) January 10, 2015
The title track is the rare moment of triumph. We want Priest to get out the game for good. "Superfly" is the perfect victory lap theme.

It took me a lot to not say, "My goodness, the horn arrangements!" for every song. But it's so true. #classicalbumtweets
— Eloquent 2-Year Old (@hecticivan) January 10, 2015
That concludes this month's #classicalbumtweets. February will be harder, better, faster, stronger. That's right: Daft Punk's Discovery!
