You want my Spot, Flash? Huh

I totally get what ol Eddy KANG JR was tellin this snake. But Eddie, unfortunately, didn't understand that HE was the one who was HANDING his Spot to FLASH.

Flash was a proper vulture, in that, when he saw Eddie, slow, walking along life's highway; he did what any other vulture would. Flash swooped in to feast upon the dead carcass. 

Vultures don't prey on the living. They prey on the dead, they just walk along side ya, waiting for you to realize your number is already up. Let this be a metaphor for your life. Some of your "friends" and the broads you think are "sister-friends" are merely VULTURE SPIRITS, walking along side you... waiting for you to give up the ghost. They will descend upon you and devour your carcass. Its in their nature.

I can see thru yo jive ass like GLASS nigga. Stealin my MOVES, my STYLE, nigga even tryina riff like me.

You want my spot, flash? hmmm? Slum dwellin, scum suckin, slug ass muhfukka! You want my spot, Flash? Huh? well you ain't gone get it! cuz YOU ain't GOT IT!

They Say: Pride cometh before the Fall

In the end of the movie, Eddie, a CHILD OF LUCK, did get his life together. He had his woman, a classic patriarchal theme, and his "god" (another classic patriarchal theme) and his health. Flash had, what appeared to be, a career successfully cooning; if you let the movie tell it. But in the end?

It all really depends on your definition of SUCCESS. 

What is Success to you?
