One of the best crime dramas of its period, Superfly is a great, powerful film. As much as I am against illegal drugs, I really felt sympathetic for Priest, a man who wants out of a life which leads to certain death. Many viewers miss the message of Superfly. Yes, he is cool, yes he has his women. But, Priest also knows he is not invincible, and he knows that he has no true control over his life, while being a drug dealer. Too many people get caught up in the soundtrack and the fashion; but if you concentrate on the story, it is just short of an antidrug message.
