John Singleton Brought Moviez to the Hood
John Singleton almost singlehandedly changed Hollywood with his first film, "Boyz n the Hood," rewriting ideas about whose stories to tell, how to tell them and what lens to watch them through. And he was just beginning. RIP to one of the greats, gone way too soon at 51.
