Its a good movie and all that.

Seen it like 6 times but never understood why Rodneys (Snoop Dogg) boys (Goldie Loc and Tray Dee) didnt come back and do what they should have did, and that was to clip Jody and eliminate him from earth.

Also that Ving Rhames scene where he wraps up the gun, its strange to me.. was he trying to prevent further bloodshed or is there a deeper message there?

    Nah you misjudging the situation.. Jody was having panic attacks and crying and ? , and when Omar Gooding shot Snoop dead he screams "NOO!" he didnt want that to happen.

    I would rather see an ending like Menace or Dead Presidents the ? was almost neccessary the way it went down.

    So you saying Ving was just watching out for himself, not Jody?

    Because they did want to ? eachother at one point.

    Then he get up off the couch, "? your fort lil ? " and kicks the ? down.

    nah mane he was lookin out period....jody never said anything, so to his (ving's) knowledge this ? just murdered somebody himself....ving already been to prison and the whole nine, and he know this lil ? aint really no killer and he dont need that....he took the piece, wiped it down, and made that ? go away....

    The reason why Snoop's homies didn't retaliate is becuz they was soft and not really bout that gangsta life

    Proof: When Rodney went to shoot up Jodie, Rodney was the only one shootin, them other ? was probably in there shittin they pants

    They was always at Yvette house wit Rodney, but when Jody and Pea cut off the lights in the house them ? was no where to be found. They stopped fuccin wit Rodney after he tried to ? Jody....
    Them ? froze up when Jody came to Yvette house to picc up Jojo.... they waited for him to get all the way down the steps before they came outside and started talkin ? .... and when they came outside Rodney was the only ones talkin, them other ? hushed up

    the Ving Rhames/Tyrese gun wipin scene symbolized "wiping the slate clean"
    Ving wiped the gun clean, then he passed it to Jody to wipe it clean

    When Ving came in the room he already knew Jody had done somethin

    its likely that Ving and Jody's mama new about the whole Rodney situation the whole time

    So Ving new Jody had done somethin he didn't mean to do... and he got a gun so he probably shot a ?

    Plus that was Ving's character Melvin chance to show that he really does care about Jody and his mother, and he doesn't want Jody to go down the same path he did
    He had choked Jody up
    was growin the weed in the garden
    knocced Jody out and tore up some furniture

    It was time for him to take responsibility for his actions and also prove that he can be a male figure in Jody's life that will guide him down the right path

    I'm high az fucc right now

    Yo you touched all the major parts with that recap.

    I dont know how you got the "? " vibe off of Rodney homies though?

    And also, why would Melvin be growing weed in the garden that ? is also weird.

    The gun scene with Melvin and the cloth, yeh that ? sounds like what I had though, wiping or washing his hands from that life.

    The ending was unrealistic....9 out of ten snoops homies would of retaliated. Even John singleton killed off ice cube in boyz n the hood cause he knew the reality in situations like that. The last picnic scene leaves me shaking my head in disbelief everytime I see it like "yeah right".

    word life...you wrap that hot ? like a potato and dump...

    And for real, its almost an act of miracle that Jody made it...he was given a second chance...

    Sometimes ? like that happens, the only question is...will you capitalize the opportunity when it comes?

    Good flick doe...nothing but heavy mentals and knowledge...

    I think they should re-release that movie...these new ? need to watch that over again...
