"Went into the store just to get a beer, came out an accessory to murder and armed robbery. It was funny like that in the hood sometimes. You never knew what was gonna happen or when. After that, I knew it was gonna be a long summer..."
"In the hood, they was doing movies like Boyz n the Hood, which I did, Menace II Society, South Central, and even Colors, going back that far. Everybody was looking at our neighborhood like it was hell on Earth, like the worst place you can grow up in America. And I’m like, why? I didn’t see it all that way. I mean, I knew it was crazy around where I grew up but we had fun in the hood. We used to trip off the neighborhood."
