Trivia
It has been stated by John Singleton that all of N.W.A. were supposed to play Doughboy's friends in the movie but Ice Cube left N.W.A. which caused tension between them.
During the time of this movie Ice Cube was feuding with Eazy-E & N.W.A. which is the reason why the crackhead that got beat up by Doughboy and his crew was wearing a shirt that says We Want Eazy.
John Singleton was 23 when he directed the movie.
The adult and younger Doughboy wear Raiders hats, which is Ice Cube's favorite football team.
This is the first of many films such as Friday and Are We There Yet? that Ice Cube and Nia Long have appeared in together.
