So sad to lose him at such a tragically young age. He was the first black Oscar nominee for Best Director for Boyz N the Hood, and at only 24 at that time, he remains the youngest person ever nominated in that category.

The movie has its merits still, after all these years. One of my favorite scenes in it is the one where Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne) has little Tre recite what he has learned from him, inc. the principle, "DON'T RESPECT ANYBODY IF HE DOESN'T RESPECT YOU." (IIRC)

Higher Learning and Baby Boy are crud films, in my humble opinion. John's best efforts are Boyz and Rosewood.
Taraji P Henson’s acting is alright in Baby Boy, but a more worthwhile film to see her in, IMO, is Talk to Me.

So we agree that Rosewood is excellent, which is saying something. Even without a make-out scene in it or tight cleavage shot or two. Will wonders never cease?
I also agree that the black cop in Singleton's debut is OTT (and he spouts OTN dialogue as well). But what are the film's many other "rough edges," or are you being hyperbolic?

Nah, I knew it was indiscreet. Sometimes I like that aspect of it!
