Just heard this. Boyz was a terrific film and even my 13 year old son is a massive fan. Shaft was also damn cool. Still relatively young as well. A genuine cinematic pioneer and someone who deserves all the plaudits.

Yeah, bit of a shock. I also forgot how young he was when he directed Boyz in the Hood.
Apparently the TV show he was running, Snowfall, is pretty good. I keep meaning to watch it and never get round to it so may give it a go now.
