Double Toasted just shltted on Belly.I think I'm done

[Ghost Utmost]

Turned it off when he went crazy on the white chick for defending the movie

I LOVE Belly. These niqqas said they never seen it til this review.

Crazy

Basically. They not down with what I'm down with. Real Hip Hop for one. Whatever flaws Belly had it was a TRIUMPH for us. Basically a long ass music video. Lots of loose ends. But fukc that

Method Man was blasting first person shooter like N64 Bond. So was Ox. The scene on the park bench with Nas and shorty rock.

I felt this niqqa was corny with the white wife and all. But the way he flashed on ol girl on some super Pro Black tip.While dissing Belly..

He don't speak for me and I am offended that he pulls his Black card so strong while PAWGing so hard

Belly was wack lmao

That's fine.

Its was the way they were looking down their nose. They just not from around the way. They should have more respect for things they don't understand

 

[Barlow]

they're two white washed movie snobs. idk what you expected

 

[RAX 010]

Belly was a modern day classic of classics
98 99 the literal zenith of real hip hop right before her full commercialization...

Hype(Williams) explains the shortcomings as far as why the story progressed at the rate it did.
He stated that New Line Cinema was being funny wit the money and wouldn't let him get the cash he needed because the company didn't think the movie would do well...
HYPE Williams if yall don't know is one of the greatest hip hop video directors ever...

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

nikkas calling Belly a classic

 

[BlackMajik]

I went in on this c00n in The Film Room super hard

People in here need to understand its not that he doesn't like Belly. That ain't the issue. Go and watch the vid and see what the problem is. That bufoon made an supper c00nish comment about police violence against black folks

Oh and his ass defended Liam Neeson when he said he was gonna go out and kill a random black man btw

Belly is straight trash

EDIT: I had to make sure I was right about it being trash, so I bought it on Youtube and watched it again after 20 years and it was way better than I thought it was, I now have to disagree with Korey on that it portrayed black men in a bad light, but to me it came across more as a cautionary tale which is relevant still till this day.

I agree with him in that the scene transitions felt too disjointed and not providing enough clarity on things like location where the scenes are taking place. For example, when Buns goes to visit Ox for the first time, I thought he was in Jamaica until the dialogue let me know they still were in New York or Omaha looking way too much like New York City.

 

[darealvelle]

I stated this in the official Double Toasted thread that Korey expected Belly to be some social commentary film like Boys in the Hood or Menace. Belly is just a 90 minute glorified east coast rap song in a film format.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

That's fine.

Its was the way they were looking down their nose. They just not from around the way.

Korey went in on y'all always talking about "you ain't from the Hood so you can't relate"

I love Belly

But I can 1000% see why a film critic would shyt on it.

 

[VertigoKnight]

I mean I enjoy Belly because the cinematography and colour grading are on point but as a movie it's all over the place.

But its a visual treat for me.

 

[69 others]

Stopped looking at that channel awhile now cause idk if it's me but I find these dudes insufferable, the constant forced laughs is annoying, don't know how people can put up with it

 

[Heafcliffe]

Read. The. Thread. Title. Ah-nother. Wayyyyyy....

Edit:...and here I am.

Nas acting left a lot to be desired but it’s a cult classic Louis Rankin did a great job as Ox RIP
