this was basically a 2hr hype williams music video
Why do people keep saying this. Very untrue and devalues the film.


This film had a great performance by DMX was even heralded by Siskel or Ebert a the time (which ever one was alive)

Great Cinematography by Maleek Hassan Sayeed.

Great story.

I think if Hype Williams did this movie anonymously some people would value the film more and not write it off as merely a "hood flick".

If you have the chance, check out the DVD version with commentary from Hype. I thought that the film was jus aight at first, but when you get to actually peep his thought process behind the film and the fact that a lot of it was switched up and left out, you appreciate it a lot more. Wish he got to work on more films because he really captured the spirit of "the culture" beautifully.
