[abt146]

i played this at least 30 times just to hear the jazz in the background nas was kicking that knowledge tho he a ill nigga tho so i expected that

[gambino617]

its crazy how this was the last verse on one love

[bscboyz10]

[dottthaprofit30]

i always try to school my little brother on the same shit. it just seems hes to far gone to turn back now. so now i just tell him if hes gonna be a gangsta. be the best gangsta that ever lived. I love you

[blanenbishop]

the little man is dmx son in real life

[getyoasshome]

this entire scene is a re play from the album illmatic....cant remember what song.

[413NOTSREHTAEF]

@getyoasshome its from "One love"

[FunnyTimesLol]

fucking dope ass scene.

[JustBlaze234]

[MrMoparownage]

[ssean716]

[KRIMESOFRESH]

[Siiickle]

one love

[GEasy5]

the ill part bout this movie was nas didnt even have to act.. this is how he is in real life... much respect to nas... taught me things bout life... taught me mind elevation

[poxflaza]

yall look at this as just a movie scene when theres actually youngsters like this everywhere that just dont care for nothing and need guidence before they permanently scar their lives. Do something good today and tell a child they can become something and anythings possible.

[smallz704]

i love dis part. u see everything he said on One Love about shorty doo wop

[smallz704]

i lovin seein this part den thinking about his verse on one love. 

[china4151986]

way better than lottery ticket with that fag bow wow compare movies and people are wondering why the youth is lost these days

[Antrizzle2009]

I always loved how Nas took that 3rd verse from One Love and turned it into a movie scene 4 years later. How many rappers could you even do that with?

[maydayboneless]

if anyone knows if there is a track floating around for the backround music.. the jazz,.. composed by nas's dad(?) please let me know!!

[CJThaSavage]

@maydayboneless The track is by nas' dad Olu Dara.. titled "Blue Agony". Thumbs up so everyone can see.

[Bizmark2007]

one love!

[251mandem]

you a ill nigga tho! i like your style, son!

[citywrestler]

[djones7107]

[redfireblade2000]

I love how Nas is schooling shorty about the streets and smoking a blunt with him at the same time. CLASSIC That's how it is in the hood though

[abt146]

[bkeys220]

[oxfordamerican1981]

[johnnybannas1990]

[anylee34]

That little kid is more street than most of these rappers

[natsicar55]

DAM, i thought times was hard now a days, but shorty had a rough life

[erfbgu]

"He said nas, niggaz cold be bustin off the roof

So I wear a bullet proof and pack a black tres-deuce

He inhailed so deep, shut his eyes like he was sleep

Started coughing when I peeked to watch me speak...

I had to school him, told him dont let niggaz fool him

causes when the pistol blows the 1 that's murdered be the cool one...

Only twelve trying to tell me that he liked my style...

Left some jewels in his clothes....

Dude is ill. Descriptive rhymes...straight poetry.

[BESERKER09]

ya wen i saw belly for the first time i was like o shit he talk bout that in one love like how he did it

[19993viince]

@erfbgu crazy shit when i first watched this movie i noticed this too that this song was bout this kid

[pimpd803]

[thereaper213626]

Mind Elevation...

[28witlegalmoney]

Just Make sure, you rise above all this madness out here. Mind Elevation ! Fuck that petty shit, you don't need it . For Real

[119iKILL]

One Love

[28witlegalmoney]

No hope for the future , damn or is his future being detour or bypassed by obligations set beforehand ? Thanks to welfare , everybody give welfare a hand for stating that the baby father can not be in the same household, if you want to continue to get assistance ! Hi Five, for no work and no jobs ... Escape your situation by taking a personal and private trip in your mind. See yourself leaving poverty behind ... Your reality is your mind is free

[deagle89]

This is my favourite scene of dis movie.... it shows the reality of the streets n seeing little dude smoke weed n holdin a gun is crazy but deep.

"mind elevation" NAS

One love

[baltimoreblitz16]

if anything it shows how the streets repeats it's self. "lil niggas, they run up on us, same lil niggas will rob you back to back"-nas..his lyric went somthing like that.

you a young dude on the block seeing older dudes that got are living it up and they did not even make it to the 10th grade. makes you wonder wtf they be doing to get that, then blam! your selling drugs & robbin people. it's sad. that's why alot of young brothers are in jail now.

[Aciremet]

I love the fact that they have jazz music playing in the background... It definately adds to the scene.

[BANE9]

thats the best thing about this movie yo they took some of scenes straight from their lyrics this is my favorite scene hype is a fuckin genious

[blsed1]

1 Love 1 Love 1Love 1love....

[LifetimeProductionss]

dat kids a g, lol he be holdin it down, gots the gat, gots da weed, all dis nigga need is sum bitches n he set.....lol fuckn lil homies

[Shietz401]

Nas wit Da Throww Back AVIREX leatherr.... on His New york Shyttt

[Cuatro88]

this is my favorite scene from this movie..."you a ill nigga, i like ya style son!" ay yo im ghost shorty.

[RocnRed9]

belly is an ill movie

[28witlegalmoney]

Nasir is the truth.Believe That.

[ChrIstheSavage88]

We was chillin' on these benches where he

I had to school him, told him don't let niggas fool him

'cos when the pistol blows that's when a murder be the cool one...

Only twelve trying to tell me that he liked my style

Then I rose, wiping the blunts ash from my clothes

Then froze only to blow the herb smoke through my nose

There's some jewels in the skull that he can sell if he chose

Words of wisdom from Nas try to rise up above

Keep an eye out for Jake shorty what

One love

[IconThaRapper]

nas the realist wether it is speakin real shit or just makin real hip hop

[TimTyree]

Im bout to go home N watch this joint!

[bludLaceDwitreefer]

ey if yall listen to nas's song one love. listen to the last verse he's talkin bout this actual scene. this scene is based on actual fact. get dat niggas

[IconThaRapper]

yea.. hes only 12 tryna tell me that he liked my style/ and umm.. keep an eye out for jake shorty wap one love/ oh yea and

i put some jewels in his pocket that he could sell if he chose/

[reelm4f1486]

this scene reminds me of that one scene at the beginning of CLOCKERS...

[cancelmyjobDOTcom]

this scene shows how the boy is living a destructive lifestyle. nas gives him respect but still treats him like a 12 year old when he puts the chain in his pocket kinda like when you show your kid a magic trick. nas thought like this when he was only 19 on illmatic

[KC7689]

nas speaks the truth

[younghov44]

good look on the video cuzz

these little kids need that mind elevation for real. this petty shit bout grillz and money paper chasin is only gon take them to the grave at a young age.

[Plaguedrogue]

lol.

[kgatelyjr]

this was inspirational for me to watch.

[89ingram]

this scene was based off on love

[chynasmom]

i like this scene because nas is tryin to steer the young brotha away from the streets...but why is he smokin weed with a 13 year old?

[CraCCs30]

its from one love the last verse it shows how nas songs are stories

[MOBROOKS]

I wish I had your uploading and editing skills. what program do you use to make your movies? any way, this was perfect you did a good job. I dusted off the ol Illmatic c.d. and decided to give it a listen then it hit me! hey! that's the scene from belly! nas is hell on wheels with the imagery! plus, hype is cool as hell for putting this scene in the movie. I wish he made more!

[chrque]

looks like jeezy

[strongpedigree]

"words of wisdom from Nas, try to rise up above, keep an eye out for jake, shorty wop, one love"

Nasir Jones

[youngt86]

Thank you, someone noticed so far. This scene is actually from off the 3rd verse of his song "One Love" from his classic LP "Illmatic".

[iluvmewwzik]

Smokin weed wit dat lil kid! I don't know why that's hilarious to me.....??? LMAO! It's sad, true, and funny!

[Jayro45]

he says you a ill nigga..stupid

[dayoung09]

Mind Elevation

[tmr2456]

u a ill nigga-i like ur styyyle son

[martin0429]

whats this song called in the background... its crazy for this type of scene in movies

[9thWonder05]

i would also like to know this. someone please help out with an ID on this song.

[chrque]

its on illmatic

[4hodipt]

LMFAO

[aobb223]

that speech was sorta based on the last verse from one love listen 2 it and it sounds very similar

[lifestraight]

It is. Thats exactly what its based on

[SageofSorrow]

yeah it basically IS the whole 3rd verse. The "Roof", the 12 year old, the dilemma the kid was in, and Nas' mentorship to him. Also Nas co-wrote Belly, so its no surprise he would take inspiration from his own material. Dude is a genius. He inspires himself,lol.

[LBkid718]

QUEENS ALL DAY LINDEN BLVD BABY!!!

[bklyn2qns]

ONE LOVE VERSE CHK IT ILLMATIC

[MicPoet23]

nas is the truth

[GUSLAM]

good talk with the the kid

[esco42085]

mind elevation fuck that petty you dont need it.

[Swifturk]

damn dis is deep

[Dominicono809]

Nas keeps elevating and changing the game, son is smooth u jus can't have a conversation wit him and not feel his intellect b

[mangope]

lil kid got swagger

[tsshury]

rochdale projects 11434

[bearwarlock]

Anyone know what the instrumental playing in the background is?

[BennyCorleone]

It's a muted trumpet. Youtube - Somewhere over the rainbow - trumpet (2:27) The dude wearing a blue shirt.

[bearwarlock]

Hey man! Thanks... is the song in this video actually "somewhere over the rainbow", or is it just the same muted trumpet?

[BennyCorleone]

I don't know the actual name of the song I'll do some research and get back to you if I locate it. But no the song isn't somewhere over the rainbow from what I can tell. I was just saying if you type in Somewhere over the rainbow trumpet, word for word you can look down and the 3 entry from the top has a guy in a blue shirt who's playing a muted trumphet. It gives trumphet sort of an echo reverbation effect that sounds cool. Nas' father Olu Dara plays trumpet, it could be his father though.

[youngcnillzof9th]

not only is this the last verse of one love there was really a 12 year old drugh dealer u could see it on da promo video for illmatic

[Demaris02]

This is ni one of Nas's songs listen to the last verse of One Love.

[jwhit169]

[iDontKnowOfficer]

"Shorty's laugh was cold blooded as he spoke so faul, only 12 trying to tell me that he like my style. Then I roze wipping the blunt's ash from my close, then froze only to blow the earth's smoke through my nose." One of the illest verses ever...one love baby

[hoyasbones]
