26 years ago, John Singleton blessed us with Boyz N the Hood

[Black Barbie]

I was born in '91, but I wasn't born yet lol.

Yeah it's almost like he never had a fighting chance. His mama was mean as fukk, his lil brother kept giving nikkas the football even after he told him not to, lil brother get shot and mean ass mama blame him.....he was more interesting than Trey.

they had different daddies so their mother treated her boys like her exes.

Damn it man

I always thought Boyz was a better movie, but watching menace growing up was more relatable.

Really?

 

[broller]

I have a disdain for this movie just because it will forever be compared with Menace 2 Society, and I think Meance was clearly better. shyt, I think Meance 2 Society is the greatest movie of all time

Plus, Trey was such a hoe ass nikka.

Crying to get p*ssy

Making up a whole elaborate lie about getting p*ssy and telling his dad. Then telling him he went raw. nikka it's a lie, why say you didn't strap up

Acting like his hoe ass was a rider, then telling them nikkas to stop the car and let him out when he knew his bytch ass wasn't never bout that life in the first place

Going from super dark skinned when he was a kid to a light skin nikka when he got older

he wasn't "super dark skinned" (that's moreso south sudanese folk) but it was bizarre he got light!

Classic.

idk why yall are in here saying menace is better. that movie hasnt aged well at all, and it mostly just gratuitous cursing and the acting isnt even close to BITH.

menace is much easier to just get into, boyz is more cerebral and more well thought out. menace moves more quickly whereas boyz sets things up better. boyz is a much more emotional movie and makes you care for the characters more.

Almost a year old too. I like that Tre and Brandi stayed together.

Me too. It's a shame Morehouse and Spelman college went over my head. I realized they attend HBCUS I like how John put it out There as well.


I wonder if audiences then or now know about Spelhouse?

Menace was very vulgar and plain nasty.

Boyz in the hood had a few messages which is relevant today
