Roommates, when it comes to classic “hood” movies, few people are like “Boyz N The Hood“Boyz N The Hood” was released in cinemas today 30 years ago! “Boyz N The Hood” opened the film careers of Little Cuba Gooding, Ice Cube, Maurice Chestnut, and Nia Long. Starring La Bassett and Lawrence Fishburne, this is also the first director of John Singleton’s debut.

Not only did it succeed at the box office, “Boyz N The Hood” also Make history At the 1992 Oscars ceremony, when John Singleton became the youngest ever and the first black man to be nominated for best director, the film also received a nomination for best screenplay.

Back in 2017, just two years before he died young due to a fatal stroke, John Singleton discussed the legacy of “Boyz N The Hood”, especially how it started Ice Cube Hollywood career.

“This is a surprise. I mean seeing people have a long career and they continue to do other things. Ice Cube has transformed from an actor and producer to an almost mini-tycoon-making a lot of things in movies and TV China happens in different ways. I can’t believe in any of these things—those who are truly talented. All they really need are vacancies in the business, and they just let the flow go.” Singleton said.

In the past 30 years, “Boyz N The Hood” will continue to severely influence dozens of other movies and usher in the “hood movies” that dominated most of the 1990s. Although three years have passed, sadly, many of the struggles seen in the film still plague the black community to this day.

A truly classic happy anniversary!
