“10 Years/10 Days Mentality” = You can get it, you just gotta go get it. If you look good and smell good then you feel good. Sonny gets taught the tricks of the trade of having the clean gear because well.cleanliness is next to godliness. Sonny looks up to Mitch and Mitch is always trying to make sure that his brother stays on the right track. In the movie, Mitch is perceived as one of his little brother Sonny’s only role models. “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” = Cleanliness is next to godliness. To me and most of the masses this is one of the moments in Paid In Full that solidifies it as a classic. “Any nigga that ever looked at me wrong, owes me money, or ever said some jealous bullshit about me is fuckin’ dead.” When Mitch said those words you felt it. Well more like Mitch venting and Ace listening but nonetheless it’s one of the more powerful, more emotional scenes and acted out masterfully. After Sonny gets kidnapped, Mitch and Ace have a deep conversation. One of my favorite scenes has been meme’d, gif’d and imitated time after time. You get to feel however you feel about a particular scene or situation then in the same instance get to hear Ace’s input on them all. So to watch the classic through your own eyes while A narrates it is a special experience in itself. That in itself adds a unique spin to the movie, especially considering it’s damn near the rise-and-fall?-and rise again of Ace’s life. Paid In Full is narrated by the main character: Ace. But Wood Harris, Mekhi Phifer, Cam’ron and the rest of the cast perfectly display all of the above on the big screen. Fewer people know of the dramatic, dark, trauma-filled side that comes with it. Everyone knows about the money, the women, fly gear, and nice cars that come with drug-dealing. The film showed the beauties and beasts of the street life.
