Furious styles.

Boyz N The Hood.
7/10. Unabashedly an 'American Graffiti' for the gangster-rap set. As with that movie, it does a great job of setting a moment in time (re: Tre's shirt), but it also feels not new, probably by nature of every movie that came out afterwards that tried to say the same thing. I don't think they said it as well as Doughboy puts it at the end, but it'd be nice if one of these movies talked about what got us there, rather than where they got, and where it leads.
