Following the meteoric success of his directorial debut film, "Boyz N The Hood", John Singleton had the cache to make just about whatever kind of project he wanted, but he chose to keep the focus of his work on the varying Black experience in America, and offered both critique of and insight to the culture and intricacies of that very experience.

He made a name for himself by telling these stories and inspired a generation of creatives to tell stories of their own. In this video, we take a look at his work and how they ultimately contributed to his lasting legacy.

A Few Notes:
- If I sound out of breath or nasaly, I was just getting over being sick during most of the recording for this video, so bare with me.
-I am TERRIBLE with the pronunciation of people's names and I know I messed up a couple so there's no need to yell at me in the comments about it, I tried lol
-Also I got a lot of conflicting information on whether John Singleton had 4 kids or 7, but I went with 7 because that number popped up more frequently in my research.
-I know John Singleton also produced other films like Illegal Tender and Black Snake Moan, but they weren't that good and also weren't his original vision so they didn't warrant a mention from my perspective.
-This video was made before the Snowfall ending.
