Just know that in your favorite scenes from Boyz N The Hood that John Singleton was right there coaching everybody through exactly how he hoped it would look and feel.pic.twitter.com/BczhGVXcxu
They were all so young. John Singleton with Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube, and Morris Chestnut. He made them the stars of a South Central story that had never been told well before. It changed the whole game and launched so many careers into the stratosphere.pic.twitter.com/9wQ3Czb5F3
I wish he had won the Oscar for Best Director.
Hollywood was not ready back then. He took the industry by storm. They seem to be ready today though.
little did we know back then : them + Laurence Fishburne, Nia Long, Regina King, 
Angela Bassett .....whew........
All of them are still working feverishly in the business. Greatness surrounds itself with greatness always.
All of these “Boyz in the Hood” continue to have long and successful careers. John Singleton gave them an amazing start. He will never be forgotten. Gone much too soon.
Those guys, led by John Singleton, made that movie legendary.
Babies !
What do you think is the reason why stories/movies like that, raw and real, while not quite as rare are still not brought to wider audiences?
Because they do not want the world to know about our intelligence, ALLAH is the best knower and when the world is ready he sends the master Angels in the flesh of the true Hebrew Israelite, the true story is come to your home soon (mind); understanding thought is the cause of all
Damn..
Love this pic
I had no idea he was so young when he directed this. Wild.
& Lawrence Fishbourne
Iconic photo. 
They dont know, don't show, don't care about what happens in the hood. Powerful, Mr. Singleton! Thank you for letting us into your world.
I grew up in a Southern, rural community. I will NEVER forget how Boyz N the Hood affected my thinking. How things aren’t on a level playing field. I’ve always wanted to teach truth to my kids like Furious Styles.
Cuba rocked the Crenshaw shirt before Nipsey
TY for saying, "South Central!" Also, to see yourself on screen for once... to have it be about you and your people... Folks forget we were still listening to rap on AM stations and trading mix tapes of our favorite crews, that and so many aspects of our culture were underground.
