Notice the nikka was telling a wild story about shooting up a mall and as soon as the other gang pulled up he started getting scared.Low key I used to love her.
exactly don't understand basic family structure brehs.Imagine actually saying this to to your mom
Damn I don't remember the names of none of these nikkas except for Ice Cube Cuba and Morris.Tre knew they was packing
10 scenes earlier, Shotgun Lloyd pulled out the shotgun to Tre and backed off.
That’s why he didn’t get involved when Ferris pushed Ricky.
It wasn’t a big deal until Doughboy called
that girl a BIH.
Ferris died trying to show off
Imagine actually saying this to to your mom
well ricky was not only momma raised but full son husband.He was….
Doughboy told him don’t bring the ball…Ricky’s 4x4 head ass did the opposite.
Threw the ball to Rock and he kept it.
He didn’t even bother to help Doughboy after going back to get the ball.
Luckily, homeboy in the blue shorts checked Rock.
That’s the MVP. I really think that he gave him the ball back because he knew that Ricky was gonna be something one day.
Dude was destined for greatness if bum ass Ferris didn’t push him which lead to Ricky dying.
Ricky had his head in the clouds but he should have let him live.
He wasn’t built for that. I really think he killed Ricky because his boys was in the car.
True but if Ricky grew up "hard" he'd be more like Dough Boy.Actually his mom's was complicit in how Ricky never valued any situation. As Ricky grew up in favor of rhe moms. So Ricky left the house soft as hell.
always thinking favor would be bestowed to him.
Doing everything offbrand with lack of urgency. As Ricky was allowed favor based on favoritism. Which got him touched.
If Ricky was never shown undue favor. Ricky would never have been socialized. Or rewarded for obvious death wish style mistakes in the hood. That favor never favors.

Imagine actually saying this to to your mom
True but if Ricky grew up "hard" he'd be more like Dough Boy.
Tre was different because he had Furious.
True but again Ferris was a scary ass nikka at heart.Ricky and Trey had a whole whip…
They could have drove to the store and back. It Makes sense considering that Ferris and his homies were gonna catch Ricky slipping anyways. I wouldn’t have disrespected Doughboy
either considering that he stood up for him. It’s crazy how he died arguing with his bro.
I realize that Ricky was also at fault too looking at the movie from a different lenses got older.
Dude walked around with a blue jacket knowing that he was in the home of gangbanging…Mistake 1
Mistake 2… Ricky went back to get a bag of chips that he dropped on the ground knowing that Lloyd Avery had shot in the air.
When that thang went off, it sounded like Dr. Dre on a drum machine.
Dude wasn’t very street smart at all.
Even Tre knew not to get buck with FERRIS when his homie pulled out that shotgun in his face.
The best way for him to have done that was for him to defy everyone and Join the Army or find another job that got him out of his momma's couch.If Ricky never bought into being favored. Plus stood up to his moms via favor for his own brother in dough. Ricky would have not got killed. Plus would have not been soft as a neutron. Since Ricky bought into favor. Plus never challenged the dynamic.
to make his moms appreciate dough. Ricky made himself fodder.
Ricky and his moms socialization were their family's whole downfall. As you have to challenge yo parents when they on bullshyt.
If not you die.
Especially as a neutron. As Ricky could have been the connection to chamge his entire family dynamic. Yet his puss'd out. Then got what happens when you flaug on who hold you down in the hood.
Ricky should have been the one to stand up and chop his moms into place. Since he did not. It got all the males in their family slaughtered. When you are a neutron. You have to uphold more integrity and do the hard things in life. As no one else is gonna do them. Plus if you do not do them. You will succumb to the ills.
of what you ignored to do in some form.

Dough fukked her a few times on the low.
She was cheesing in the cut whenever he was dragging his nuts on them hoes
True but again Ferris was a scary ass nikka at heart.
Think about the dozens of times nikkas acted like they wanted to get active and didn't Llyod put the shottie in Tre's face and didn't pull the trigger.
Sure he knew Tre wasn't involved but imagine him pulling that on wheelchair chris and nothing happening.
It was standard hood fake bullying. nikkas killed Ricky and assumed there wouldn't be any get back?
They should've been ready but in real life this was neighborhood clicks not Rollin' 60 or Eight Trey OG's.
The best way for him to have done that was for him to defy everyone and Join the Army or find another job that got him out of his momma's couch.
I lived in the 90's in the Murder capital of DC and most dudes wasn't active.Boyz n tha hood and menace.
Both did a good job of showcasing how it is to possibly be a neutron. Without delving readily and heavily into the politics of the current era of that time. Possibly because when singleton wrote the movie. The gang dynamic had not been affected by the ills of crack.
To become so overly perverted.
Like it is and was a different day in chicago pre crack gang wise.
So I feel menace and boys were. Oth written by both parties before crack became prevalent and changed everything socially moving forward to where we are now.
Plus in that. It did a good job. To sanitize the content and drive a message given the era. As both movies work to showcase what occurs with neutrons in hood. Enraptured in gang activity. Plus how everyone can become affected by proxy.
One of the brilliant parts of rhe film. Which helps both be relatable. Beyond just rhe semantics of rhe time or era. To make both gateway films.
timeless classics in period pieces of American socialization.
Where alternatively both films were wrongly weaponized socially.
against all of America moving forward as well.

How you gonna check your mom's and need to ask for an allowance?No.
Ricky need to check his moms.
Since Ricky did not.
It created and ravaged the males. she produced in her household.
Since Ricky never made his own mom's value dough.
Plus never took responsibility as the favored male in the household.
Their entire male population of their home perished from Ricky lack of attention Rion to detail in a home. Where he was given power.
as the male of rhe house.
In the hood.
You pushback on your parent's bullshyt.
Or you may not live.
By Ricky letting his mom demonstrate and allow transference take place on his brother. Who was down for him.
No matter the situation. Ricky should have done the same for dough.
You reciprocate for somebody down for you.
Regardless of who it is. Even if it is yo mom or pops.
Regardless of age.
If not. That lack of care. Will become corrosive and more than likely will cost your your life.
