make a block 

What you do when you visit the block in your city. You make your order and they will tell you to "make a block". Basically, this means you drive around the block and when you come back, your order will be ready.
Killa: "Ey! Gimme four of 'dem boys!"
Citizen of the Block: "Aight, make a block"

Run a block 

To have pseudo ownership of a neighborhood (or permission) to run illegal business through.

Whenever you hear a drug dealer talking about getting a block for their birthday, this is generally what they are talking about.

Usually given to them by higher ranking dealers or plugs. These people don’t literally own the block, but they have the power and respect to go uncontested from the people that inhabit it. Other unaffiliated dealers may try to steal your block through various means though.
Dealer A: You hear about Tommy?
Dealer B: Yeah, bro got Glenwood ave for his birthday

Dealer A: I can’t wait until I get a chance to run a block.
