I love you, man. I can\u2019t believe this is happening, again. Black heroes who are not supposed to say goodbye that early and here we are, again.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve seen most of your movies, of course. I also moved to your city and neighborhood though it wasn\u2019t totally related to Hollywood or blackness but here I am. Re-watching Boyz hits differently now.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever get over the fact that you wrote and directed this movie as a barely out of film school 23 year old. Absolutely brilliant social commentary. Although gang violence decreased by a ton, nothing much has changed. Gentrification is fucking everything up. Just yesterday on a Sunday morning police handcuffing homeless folks next to a new, generic ass probably AI-generated street art piece that says \u201cangeles elevate\u201d. I can\u2019t make this shit up. It makes me want to throw up.<\/p>\n
Your work has been so important. Representation. Our angles. Yes sometimes it didn\u2019t age well or it became a bit corny. But all in all, those movies were fine and needed. They always got me in my feelings like no other.<\/p>\n
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
