rest in peace to the legend like John Singleton, he was the first director to capture the realities of African Americans from the inner city's of LA in a authentic type of way to worldwide masses with the classic 1991 film Boy N The Hood that was the visuals to the 80's NWA music movement but wit artistic integrity regardless of the film's subject matter, he was a great filmaker full stop not just at doing hood films not that theirs anything wrong with specialising in genre based topics only, but RIP to John Singleton & condolences go out to his family & friends, its a great loss
