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.

A savvy band of jewel thieves, armed with guns and some posing as women, have struck in the heart of the city’s golden triangle of luxury shops, stealing more than €85 million worth of diamonds, rings and watches from a posh Harry Winston boutique.
The brazen $108 million theft Thursday, which some French newspapers quickly branded the heist of the century, reflected a savvy knowledge of the jewelry business, happening during the peak of the holiday season, when jewelry stocks are plentiful.
The police said that at least four people were involved in the robbery of Harry Winston, which is on a street of deluxe shops near the Champs Élysées that is crowded with boutiques for Chanel, Dior and Gucci. Around closing time at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, the thieves entered and confronted 15 employees. At least two of the robbers were dressed in wigs and women’s clothes, while a fourth accomplice apparently waited outside as the getaway driver, Lévy said.
The boutique has already weathered an earlier audacious robbery of €10 million of goods, in October 2007. At the time, the company offered a €500,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of its diamonds. In April, Harry Winston posted a pre-tax gain of $13.5 million from the settlement of its insurance claim in that earlier robbery.
To date, the record for jewelry theft remains a heist in February 2003, when thieves reaped €100 millions in diamonds from the vaults at Antwerp’s diamond exchange.
Points taken away for dressing in drag. Which is only slightly better than dressing in Ed Hardy Shirts.
You should wear custom Savile Row suits on a heist.
Still, not a bad day at the office.
The Rest is Up to You…
