Dope Movie: Belly by Hype Williams

Click Here to Buy Belly

Its hard to believe that Belly is already ten years old. Belly was directed by Hype Williams, of the fish eye lens fame on music videos.

“It was the best time of our lives. Getting Money was all we ever did.” – NAS

Most movies starring rappers suck. DMX, Method Man and Nas are good in Belly. Its also hard to believe that Hype Williams never made another movie after this. And Taral Hicks is mad fly.

“Sold my soul to the devil, the price was cheap. It was cold on this level, twice as deep”- DMX

The look and feel of Belly are insane. And it borrows heavy from Scarface. If you are going to borrow heavy from something, Scarface is the place to do it.

The Jamaican scenes are tougher than leather.

“Nowadays you gotta walk the street and watch your back
Cause brothers with the gats don’t be knowing how to act
They always pull the glock when somebody rocks that knot
And if they get shot they often snitch to the cops
Now tell me this ain’t living foul:
She just had a baby child and shes back to selling cracks vials
On the Ave cause shes addicted to the fast cash
How long will that last before the cops be up in that ass?
But honey-dip don’t wanna listen cause she’s in no position
Now nobody gives a pot to piss in
Her life is stuck and filled with bad luck
So she fucks and fucks to earn another buck
She don’t really care about pride
And she jumps into another ride then committed suicide

Hey Yo, this goes on and on Shaw
Everybody’s doing their own thing
From hooker in the drug slang”

I will be chilling with the WU this weekend.

And swooping fly girls.

I case you wanted to know.
