I mean, this is a guy who had a “plan to break Tyson out of prison,” and now he’s in Are We There Yet? Yikes. He’s probably not as family-friendly as Snoop Dogg, and his appearance in family movies is still kind of jarring to me. He’s continued to pump out some great rap albums ( The Predator will always be one of my favorites), and has become a regular on the big screen, starring in movies such as Three Kings, The Friday movies, and the XxX sequel. Man, Ice Cube has come a looong way from the jheri-curled, angry rapper that landed a role as Doughboy. He continues to find work not only in film, but on stage, too: Fishburne was nominated for a Tony Award in 2007 for his role in “Thurgood.” No big deal – he had already won a Tony in 1992. Perhaps Fishburne’s most well-known is that of Neo’s mentor in The Matrix Trilogy, Morpheus. The man who played a character with one of the coolest names ever (I dare you to come up with five cooler names than “Furious Styles ” it can’t be done) went on to a very successful and respected career in acting. After the jump, take a look at where the cast members of Boyz N The Hood are now.* The cast of Boyz N The Hood all went on to have some pretty interesting and impressive careers, so let’s see what they’ve been up to since 1992. It’s not like I was growing up in gated communities with butlers and tennis courts, but it was nevertheless startling and, to a degree, educational to see for the first time life in the ghettos of South Central Los Angeles. It blows my mind that John Singleton was only 23 when he was nominated for Best Director for his work on one of the best movies of the 1990s, Boyz N The Hood.
