Jody listens to the song "Hail Mary" by Tupac Shakur and has a mural of him in his room. Tupac Shakur was originally supposed to play the role of Jody, but was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in 1996.
John Singleton originally wrote the role of Rodney for Ice Cube.
In the beginning of the film John Singleton's daughter portrays Jody's daughter.
The film is the last feature film written by John Singleton as he did not write any of his later feature-length directorial projects.
The store where Jody is jumped by the teenagers and robbed is the same store from Boyz N the Hood where Ricky buys the lottery ticket, milk, and donuts.
"Sweet Pea: Dear Lord, Please forgive us for all the sins we have brought upon us. And look down upon us with forgiveness for the the sins we will have in the future. I know you understand that niggas ain't perfect, but we try lord. We try to keep our heads up in bad times. This is a bad time, show us the way. And if you can't show us the way, then forgive us for being lost."
"[first lines] Jody: There's this psychiatrist, a lady named Frances Cress Welsing. She has a theory about the black man in America. She says because of the system of racism in this country, the black man is meant to think of himself as a baby. A not yet fully formed being, who has not yet realized his full potential. To support her claim, she offers the following: First off, what does a black man call his woman? Mama. Secondly, what does a black man call his closest acquaintances? His boys. And finally, what does a black man call his place of residence? The crib."
