Belly had shytty acting and it's plot was all over the place.

Had nice cinematography, but it's not enough to say that it's the best NY hood film.

Pretty much.

If the shyt wasn't promoted so heavily and featured so many big name rap stars nobody would be saying it's the best NY hood film.

We really this deep into the thread and nobody dropped the link to the intro?



You couldnt tell me shyt when this movie came out. Hype's visuals were :mindblown: My favorite rappers were in it and my dumbass thought it was great acting at the time :laff:

Taral Hicks :ohlawd: she was so beautiful

^ I would def say that New Jersey Drive is my favorite East Coast flick. Juice, Paid In Full and New Jack City is close.

Fresh is in it's own lane, you have to sit down and really watch it.

Clockers and I can only think of what the movie could have been with the added scenes of Bhudda Hat and Champ that were in the book. Spike Lee works best when he has someone filtering his shyt IMO.

Co-sign bro, I forgot about Clockers, that movie was amazing. Spike and his team pushed the bill when they produced New Jersey Drive and Clockers.
