Another thing I didn't really pickup on until years later was the opening lines from dmx were bits and pieces of bars from his joint make a move. He was probably doin both the song and the movie around the same time.

In the BTS commentary the child in the opening scene was supposed to be Tommy as a child making a a Satanic ritual selling his soul to the devil. That's why he is drawing a pentagram.

Is Belly the most artistic black film ever?
