"He was 51.... Mr. Singleton had been admitted to the hospital on April 17, reportedly after having a stroke. His family said he had a history of hypertension.... He was 22 when he began shooting 'Boyz,' which follows Tre (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.) and his friends Ricky (Morris Chestnut) and Doughboy (Ice Cube) as they try to avoid gangs and drugs. When Ricky is shot and killed by a gang member, Doughboy, his half brother, seeks revenge, but Tre backs away from retribution. Mr. Singleton had graduated from film school less than a year earlier. He later conceded that when he made 'Boyz N the Hood; he did not yet know how to direct a film. 'As the movie was going along, I was learning how to direct,' he said after a 25th-anniversary screening of the film in Manhattan in 2016. 'As it becomes more intense and comes on to the third act, the camerawork is more and more fluid, because I’m getting better and better — and taking more chances.'"

From the NYT obituary.

The highest-rated comment quotes this — “Mr. Singleton directed a variety of films over the next 20 years, but none had the impact of 'Boyz.'"

Here’s the thing, like everything in America, the lens through which you are looking colors everything. All of Johns films made a huge impact, but just not to white audiences. I have a niece named Justice, after the Justice in Poetic Justice. Rosewood was so traumatic for me that I’ve only seen it twice, in pieces. I know people who can quote you the script of Baby Boy almost line by line. And I know the soundtrack to the movie Higher Learning front to back.

John, you have been and will always be embedded in the fabric of Black American life. You may be gone, but you will not be forgotten. You will be missed! Rest In Peace.
