Goddamn, I was really hoping he'd pull through. This was the same thing that happened to Luke Perry, right?
May he rest in peace.
I am only familiar with Boyz N the Hood which was freaking excellent. Sad to see him die so young.

I was hoping he'd get better. I remember watching Boyz N The Hood in my last year of highschool. It's definitely one of those movies that had a significant impact on me as a person growing up.
RIP.
RIP.
Word. I was young back then and not too cultured, but even then his name preceded his image. I remember him being one of those people whom I had to google later in life and had the "oh thaaaaat's what he looks like" moment.
A sad loss.
"Want somen' from the store?"Damn, loved his movies. RIP
I was just rewatching Baby Boy yesterday too. He gave us so many great Tyrese moments.
Fuck, man. I missed the initial incident and was wondering why so many people were bringing up Boyz n the Hood on Twitter today.
RIP

As much as I want to be somber about this "Ejecto seato cuz" just keeps playing in my head.
Very sad to see that. I think with all the Endgame noise, there wasn't enough coverage of this.
So sad, John Singleton was special. Seeing Boyz n the Hood 2 decades ago for me was the start of a special period with ALL those movies about Blacks in America, and the harsh reality of the hood. Like Menace 2 Society, Above the Rim, Jayson's Lyrics, Fresh, etc. Remember bring a Black Man in Paris and seeing those movie was huge for us. Finally movies about Blacks...
I'll remember the most those 3 movies ;
And also special mention for the "Remember the Time" video, probably the best Micheal Jackson video.

I just found out a few hours ago. Very sad to hear this. :(
When I was a kid in the 90s while other people were glorifying people like Snoop and 2-Pac, I admired people behind the scenes like John Singleton. As a young black nerd, that was my kind of role model.
His death is warning to me and many other black men. Basically died from complication from high blood pressure. Many black people are genetically predisposition to be at risk of high blood pressure. I've noticed my numbers are starting to rise up, but it really is the silent killer because you can be oblivious to it until it's too late if you don't have any regular check-ups. So everyone but especially black-folk, if you want to honor John Singleton, re-watch Boyz-in-the-Hood and Baby Boy, then go get your blood pressure checked and start paying attention to your sodium intake. 51 is much too young to die from a stroke. :(
