"Had DMX turned down Tommy Buns in 'Belly' the role would have went to Jay Z"- Hype Williams

[mitter]

Let's be honest: Jay is too awkward and ugly for movies

 

[MikeStamina]

It would have made Belly worse than it already was.

It's not a good movie. I don't know what an accusation of me being white has to do with it. Hype Williams wrote a bad script.

Little inside info...Hov was offered the role first and turned it down, due to the drug use the he had to do playing that role...He was focusing in on becoming and superstar and that wasn’t the image he wanted at the time...Def Jam begged him but he felt the character and sex scenes and gettin head from a 16 year Vida wasn’t going to upgrade his career...Wasn’t a money thing even tho X got payed was less than what they offered J...But wasn’t willing to sacrifice his image after the Un situation...And the budget was really low, they couldn’t afford Hov to portray Tommy Bunz....Not authentic to his brand after that Un situation

Jay like a gentrified project nygga..

Cool to talk about condoms in a babyseat, but oh no I cant do a movie with sex scenes. Ol awkard ass nygga

This is pure propaganda and lies.

Then again your username gave away the scoop.

 

[MVike28]

Pure cap.

Belly was released in 1998

Jay Z was arrested for the Un altercation in 1999.

Simple math exposed that weirdo's post.

 

[MikeStamina]

It was actually a big budget. 50 million to be exact. It was considered a very big risk. That’s why Hype never got a follow up.

50 million budget for Belly are you high

y'all really be saying whatever on these internets

Grown ass fukking man lying to a bunch of strangers on the internet for daps. Damn you nikkas are pitiful.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Jay can't act

X is probably one of the best rapper/actors since Pac/LL

Nas can't act neither and the two of them together would have just been a mess...... X's energy saved the film imo.

so it all worked out the way it was supposed to thankfully

Breh You are absolutely right.

What were they thinking?

I remember Jay had those little garbage lines in State Property, trying to be cool and shyt.. looking and sounding so out of place.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

If Jay woulda played Buns, movie woulda looked like a high end JT That Bigga Figga project.

 

[FTBS]

Only reason Nas worked is because he had DMX's energy to play off of and his character was more in line with his personality. You gonna have Jay's non-acting ass playing the hothead? Wasn't them nikkas just starting to lowkey throw jabs at that time too. I think that had something to do with Nas' owl impression along with the fact that he would have been a horrible choice for that character.
