Yo, how is Belly a classic and trash at the same time?

[Schmoove]

"Today marks the change of not only a New Year, but a new millennium. Take a look around. The majority of the youth roam the streets... dealing in drugs, sex and violence, thinking these things have no real effect on life. Crimes without real punishment. An uncaring, unfeeling generation... without knowledge of self. This is the future of our nation, the future of our people. Do you think hatred and evil will go unpunished?

The world is now feeling the heat... from flames it has kept burning since the beginning of civilization. You represent that fire. You and I are just a small part of God's plan. The evil men of this world have applied every method possible... to deceive its occupants. And each time with greater success than anticipated. But no more.

Tonight, with this new millennium, God will begin to overcome this evil. I represent the truth... to the people. Without truth, nothing is sacred. The lie-that's what the devil is all about. You know that, that's why you're here. The truth is, we all play a grave role... in our own destruction. Your money. Your lifestyles. The things that people value and covet so dearly... are the bait that lures them out of the light. Through the love of others... I have power. The truth gives me this. Those that fear me send you here, here to murder all that I say. They use what you fear against you. Your fear of death, your fear of imprisonment.

Where in this world is anyone safe from death? You see the lies you've been told? The path you take is not your own. Have you ever thought about how precious a life is? How difficult it is to create? How loosely and easily it has been for you to take away? Brother, help me. Help me to do what's right. Help me to stop the slaughter of our children. Help me to put an end to the disrespect... and the dishonor of our most valuable resource: the black woman.

Help me put an end... to the destruction of the young mind through the use of drugs, alcohol. Help me to build up a population of great thinkers. People who create change... through thoughtfulness and spirituality. Will you choose that truth? Will you? Will you choose the light over the darkness? Will you choose life? It's time. It's time, man. It's time."

- "Belly," 1998

Same problems as we face in 2015. But if you pay close enough attention, change is on the horizon.

[Human Torch]

40 DOLLARS!!!!!

 

[Rusty Kuntz]

It has 3 of my imaginary baby favuhs in it: Nas, WeeBay and Meth, so it has automatic replay value for me.

Visuals were great.... acting was....

 

[eastside313]

How the fukk method man was able to walk after getting blasted with a shotgun...

Then while he running to the car, the cops just stay park till he get in and take off , then the cops follow them

he had on a vest and the shotgun had buckshots not a slug.

What does The Wiz have to do with anything?

Just saying what a classic is.

 

[karim]

It's not a classic, it's just trash. The acting is horrible and the writing and structure all over the place. visuals are stunning but unfortunately they don't make up for the clusterfukk of a movie it was.

 

[El Bombi]

Of course this movie isn't a New Jack City.

 

[Sithlord Piff]

Ox was the most authentic rude bwoy Don Dada in cinematic history

 

[SemiEnlightenedBum]

[KingFreeman]

Ehhh.. you gotta give those hood movies props for being classics, but "Fukk a book" isn't something I'd be able to say with a straight face. To many of these movies showing us like this make a certain type of Cac get wet
