Joseph Summers. Peanut as Tamara LaSeon Bass. Herron as Candy Brown Houston. Melvin 'Mel'. Do Dirty as Kareem Grimes. Johnson tells him again and again, he has to grow up, move out, get a job and take care of his family.
Jody doesn't even bother to answer, except to accuse her of not loving him. He likes the life he leads and doesn't consider employment as an option. He sponges off of two women: his mother and Yvette, who has a job. Also in the picture is Peanut Tamara Bass , the mother of his other child.
But it's Yvette he loves. Still, he plays around, and she knows it and in a certain way accepts it, although she gets mad when she can never drive her own car, which she's making payments on. She screams that he lies to her, and his answer is a logical masterpiece: "I'm out in these streets telling these 'hos the truth.
I lie to you because I care about you. But Yvette is fed up. Sweetpea is getting involved with dangerous gang types. Yvette's old boyfriend rap star Snoop Dogg is out of prison and hanging around.
And at home, most disturbingly, his mother has a new boyfriend named Melvin Ving Rhames , who has no patience with him. Melvin has spent 10 years in the slammer, is determined to go straight, has a landscaping business, and moves in and marks his territory.
Jody knows things are different when he finds Melvin stark-naked in the kitchen, scrambling eggs for Juanita. When he complains to her that Yvette has locked him out, she levels: "What would you do if Yvette [expletive] around on you, took your car and left you in a hot house all day with a baby? Yvette answers it, in a way, by stealing back her own car, so the "baby boy" is reduced to riding his childhood bicycle around the neighborhood.
When John Singleton burst on the scene with "Boyz N the Hood," he brought the freshness of direct everyday experience to movies about black Americans. He was still in his mids, fresh out of South Central, already a legend for the way, at 16, he started hanging around the USC film school--volunteering as a gofer until the dean concluded, "We might as well make him a student, since he acts like he is one anyway.
Like many self-made men, he is impatient with those, like Jody, who do not even try. He has a gift for finding good actors. Here we meet Cuba's brother Omar, also gifted.
