John Singleton was born on January 6, 1968, in Los Angeles, California. His 1991 feature film debut, Boyz n the Hood, garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Director. Singleton followed the win with Poetic Justice in 1993 and Higher Learning in 1995. Subsequent works include 1997's Rosewood, 2000's Shaft remake and 2001's Baby Boy. In 2005, he produced Hustle & Flow and directed Four Brothers. The filmmaker died on April 29, 2019, after suffering a stroke.
John Daniel Singleton was born on January 6, 1968, in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in South Central Los Angeles and his work as a film director, producer and screenwriter depicted these turbulent, often violent roots.
Singleton studied screenwriting at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, winning three writing awards from the university, which led to a contract with Creative Artists Agency during his sophomore year.
In 1991, Columbia Pictures bought his script for Boyz n the Hood and budgeted it at $7 million. The film portrayed life in crime-ridden South Central L.A. and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director in 1991, making Singleton the first African-American and the youngest person ever nominated for the award. The film also garnered a nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
Singleton followed the win with Poetic Justice in 1993 and Higher Learning in 1995. Both films examined modern race relations, and while they enjoyed success at the box office, they were not as highly praised by critics as his debut effort.
Subsequent works include 1997's historical drama Rosewood, 2000's Shaft remake starring Samuel L. Jackson and 2001's Baby Boy. In 2005, he produced the critically acclaimed indie film Hustle & Flow and directed the box office hit Four Brothers.
In April 2019, Singleton suffered a stroke and was placed in a medically induced coma at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He passed away on April 29, 2019.
A private funeral was held on May 6, 2019, in Los Angeles, and John Singleton was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills. The official cause of death was acute ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and hypertension.[

I was totally shocked to see this video because somehow I don't remember hearing about his death!. Mr Singleton meant so much to the African-American community by just bringing out a part of our experiences ... Scott as always it is a beautiful ride with you once again thank you! ... Love ❤️

[@shannon3n8]

Thank you for the update on Mr. Singleton's grave marker. You're good people, Scott - giving your respect for others who may be visiting and mourning nearby. You don't forget to be human and real, in a world full of hate and insincerity. Class act.

[@Metalcomedienne]

From Boyz N the Hood to Higher Learning and Poetic Justice. His movies will stand the test of time. As an African American actress and cinephile myself his movies touched so many lives as movie fans and students of film. The West Coast equivalent of Spike Lee. RIP John Singleton. 🎬

[@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862]

My dad was really thankful to be a part of Mr.Singletons project 🙏🕊💯

[@zacharythomason7359]

I didn't know you're related to Lloyd Avery II .wow

[@Mike_Fahmy]

Loved Poetic Justice, Boyz N The Hood, Higher Learning 3 of my favorite films of all time. John Singleton was talented Film Director. It's tragic how young he was when he passed away, thanks for updating us on his grave marker Scott, you did a great job with this video 👍. RIP John Singleton🙏🕊️

[@freshgangstertv3663]

John singleton will forever influence and Guild me thru life ... Especially with me being from South LA his movies and the show snowfall really speaks volumes to me and A lot of others...truly will be missed !!!

[@Miss_Loving]

Thank you Scott for being so diverse in your content. You showcase many different types of people that are often not acknowledged in grave visiting videos.

[@chrissyknowsitall5170]

Boys in the Hood was massive when it came out. That movie killed it at the box office. He was a great story teller about he life in LA. RIP🕊🕊🕊

[@sddapresident8072]

John Singleton was one of my favorite Hollywood directors for this reason: Not only did he direct two of my favorite movies you mentioned which are " Baby Boy" and "Hustle & Flow" but he also directed my favorite music video of all time which is Michael Jackson's "Remember The Time" which was one of Michael's longest running music videos !! RIP to Mr. Singleton and Michael Jackson.

[@suz871]

Great video and beautiful tribute to John Singleton. That is so cool you visited the grave again and his headstone was there and a beautiful one, at that. I loved Baby Boy and completely forgot it was a John Singleton film. Boyz In The Hood should have total won the year it was nominated.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Yea! I agree it should have won!

Those were huge films during the end of high school / beginning of college. Cool follow up video. Take care man.

[@craigblakes5499]

This was a huge loss. One of those passings where you can't believe it. He also directed MJs video Remember the Time

[@Julie-qy6qp]

I unfortunately don't remember hearing about his death. What a great director he was. I don't know how I'm still alive I to had a stroke and a seizure due to a benign brain tumor. It affected my right eye and right leg. John Singleton may you continue to rest in peace🙏

[@lisabarnes2477]

One of my favorite movies growing up ❤️

[@towerman123]

"Rosewood" was quite an underrated film of John Singleton.

[@freshgangstertv3663]

Dat part!!!

[@munecamccoy]

I love the show he was working on when he died. It's still on, I still watched today it's call Snow fall

[@bw717]

Boyz n the hood one of all time favorite movie

[@InstantKarma313]

Very young! My favorite movie is Poetic Justice, with Boys In The Hood following close to #1! What a shame John passed! I wonder what the complication from the stroke was. My mother had a stroke and it’s awful! I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy! Scott your so sweet to recommend other KZbin channels! I love watching Unusual Things with Paul, probably just his accent lol! The last movie Burt Reynolds in was called, “ the last movie star” and I highly recommend seeing it! It is one of his best! Take care, stay safe, & stay healthy! See you in your next live! Happy Easter btw! It’s probably hard on you with it possibly your first Easter without your mom! 💔🤗♥️ it will get easier but it will never go away 100%! 🙏

[@aaphotofilm]

We love you for doing this video Scott. I'm glad you said Boyz n the hood was one of your favourite all time movies. Mine too. You have amazing taste. I was going to say why they didn't give him a headstone yet but realised after that was a old video as you mentioned. I'm glad you went back to double check. He was an amazing director. I still love Boyz n the hood to this day. Forest lawn is a beautiful cemetery. I'm hoping to go there when I'm in LA. Its a place I always wanted to see. I don't think Nipsey hussle has got a head stone either. Thank you for doing this video Scott. I may even watch Boyz n the hood again now that you reminded me about it. Thank you loads.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Nipsey still doesn’t have one but a contact of mine said one is coming 🤞🏼

[@aaphotofilm]

@@SCOTTONTAPE oh really? That's good to hear. I only found out from Lamont at Large video that he didn't have one at the time, but obviously that video is quite old so thanks for letting us know. I'm hoping you can be there to show us is if your ever down at forest lawn again. Thanks again Scott.

Thanks to you they gave him a headstone. Ima give you the credit brother. You made awarness to the fact that he didn't have a headstone

Get it straight John singleton grew up in south central los angles.it’s weird for me to see white peoples cemetery or I guess black peoples I’m Native American or American 🇺🇸 Indian what ever they call us an our cemeteries are a lot different. An find a grave is a messed up web site they came to my families private cemetery an took pictures an there’s no parking or signs to know it’s like a quarter mile up a mountain from the closest road an some one came up there took a bunch of pictures and put up directions to our family cemetery on private property. Some people got no respect sorry for venting on your page lol
