Written and Directed by John Singleton, Boyz n the Hood (1991) led the strong line of films in the “gangsploitation” genre of the early-mid 1990′s.
Starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Laurence Fishburne, and Ice Cube, South Central Los Angeles takes center stage as we see the ghetto life affect several young men.

Chess, you haven’t lived, unless you’ve fired a shotgun from a moving vehicle…
full disclosure: I haven’t lived.. zero street cred.
Amazing debut for Singleton – not enough acknowledgement for Angela Basset…problem is outside from Spike Lee, no other director fulfilled their promise. Pity
In real life, as soon as he pulls the trigger, his mouth will be driven into the back of his skull. That’s good.
Fact: Ghetto Thugs kill 11.5 thousand men, women and children each year, now that’s something to be proud of.
