  • Nightmare Fuel: The depiction of 'hood life is very realistic, and in several cases highly disturbing.
  • Tear Jerker: Ricky, who is practically an innocent bystander in the Compton turf war, is murdered. Later, it is revealed that he qualified to go to college and pursue his dream.
    • Doughboy's fade out and "He was murdered two weeks later" title card.
