Boyz n the Hood is a CLASSIC

[@Ruprecttt]

I love Boyz in the Hood! Amazing movie!

[@tomking7080]

Cuba was the dude getting his hair cut in Coming to America at My T Sharp barber shop

[@marleyjanim5033]

Correct

[@theironforce3000]

Totally forgot CG Jr was Trey in Boyz ! Ice cube is taking the spotlight in my head.
Such a classic .
Growing up in a similar hood that film hits home even to this day.
Fishburne 'Furious' was absolutely awesome in this flick .
Real father figure right there 👊

[@Gamer-ade]

Dude sounds hammered

[@blade3399]

Did he? Or Diddy?

[@imageisn0thing]

😂😂😂

[@InvestBetter.]

He did an amazing job in that movie.
He had to cry a couple of times, and really stood out as the best actor

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Fantastic movie 👌

[@Sublime_37]

Wow, I don’t remember Cuba Gooding Jr being MacGyver’s side kick. But, I remember that I cried so hard when they told me that MacGyver went off the air. I was kid, but for some reason I was just really bitter over it. Lol, but I will definitely go and rewatch MacGyver from the beginning at some point. 🙏🏽

[@iamkesha.]

I ain’t going to lie, Boyz in the Hood and Menace II Society, scared me about the hood. I knew then, I had to work hard to raise my family in a nice suburb. Ironically, both movies had the star moving from the hood to Atlanta, (turning Atlanta into the hood it is now).

[@danielp8433]

I love that movie!

[@checkmateforever]

I'll always remember "Boyz'N'Da'Hood" as the 2nd "urban black film" after "New Jack City" of upcoming black films of the 90s.

[@whereis99]

RICKYYYYYYYYYYY

[@MasterArkannor]

I love Snow Dogs, and he was good in Red Tails as well.

[@Alianger]

[@HermanoChosen11321]

It's time to get Ice Cube on next 💯

[@blackbeard0323]

Cuba has a big ass head, after the ice hockey history talk he is crazy as they come and he did some shit. His arrogance is all i needed to see.

[@mars3676]

Boyz in the hood was a student film

[@pdiddybox4484]

Either they dont know, dont show, or dont care what goes on in da hood😅

[@XY-fx9yl]

Looks rough...

[@bplahn39]

[@TRANSGENDERISM_is_PharmaPsyop]

RICKYYYYY

[@greengun8340]

What is on Cuba's chin???

[@MamaBearhEDS]

Got this predator & groomer on. 😬

[@designfreekz5659]

wtf is that big wart on his chin? very distracting and looks gross

[@notherestillnothing]

I believe it to be a corn nut

[@notsure2688]

If you zoom in, it looks like a rubber band tied around his goatee hair

[@DuraDigi]

Rubber band 😂

[@designfreekz5659]

@@notsure2688it looks ridiculous

[@That-guy916]
