I wish Hype would do a remake with the exact same cast but stellar acting and slightly improved cinematography

It’s not even about the acting the script and plot is trash lol

The best thing about the movie is the cinematography and you got certain classic scenes like the intro, the banana, One Love. It’s a hood classic but that’s that.

Nas didnt take the credit he deserved in that panel but the movie is basically mad Nas song lyrics put on screen. Lol

Belly DID NOT change Hollywood


outside of the visuals and DMX quotes the movie is laughable

why they keep trying to form a legacy for this butt ass movie?

it aint change chit.

The lasting legacy of that movie is Keshia

Belly. The last great hip hop film.

Define hiphop film

Lol at Belly bein a hood classic but not I'm Bout It.

Both are classics, but have some qualities that downgrade them greatly. The obvious RIP offs of Scarface is one of them. Belly had a better story than I'm Bout It and it looks better visually. I'm Bout It just seemed more authentic.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Yes it is.

based on what exactly?

how is it a classic when the consensus was always 50/50 on whether or not this movie was even good??

The nikka from Philly. Lol. I fukks wit dude but he overcompensates sometimes. Lol

I don't compensate for anything tho.

case in point, I remember "bout it" getting a better reception on the east coast than belly. so what am I compensating for?

I notice they been tryna push it too

​

yea, they been at it for a minute. but now theyre going full throttle.

even got people in here saying it was better than "bout it".

he's an East Coast hater.

look at this always un-informed goofy.

and lol @ you posting here for 6 years. WHAT A NOBODY. I didn't recognize your name at all when you hopped on my dikk the other day. and you still ridin.
