How did Jody stay with his mom when Melvin moved in?

[Francis White]

So he was a grown ass man, right?

He was a piece of shyt. His other girl was 17. Meaning he was a pedo who got her pregnant at 16z

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

This. It’s sad that it took that nikka damn near being killed for him to wanna be with his family

And that was after Rodney nearly strong armed the p*ssy off Yvette in front of his son

Did you read through the thread, or what was quoted, or nah? Because I'm not sure what that had to do with you quoting me about him being grown if he's 20 years old...

 

[NinoBrown]

Good point. It's not even about single motherhood. Some moms prepare their kids and some don't.

She babied him and then expected him to magically get his shyt together at age 20. You have to be in your kid's ear when they are 7, 8, 9 and 10. Instill good shyt early so that they don't start fukking up in middle school.

That was my Mom, pushed college on me at 5, finding tutors, making sure homework was done, talking with teachers so I would stay all the way on track even until now in the tech field...

If I didn't have her, I could possibly be a Jody or worse like a lot of my friends....

The disrespect Melvin talking about giving him a job, Melvin cooking butt naked and drinking all the coolaid


I would've moved out asap he could've stay with Yvette And his momma liked thugs, shiiid you can only protect a thot family member so much

Jody had 2 baby mama's and no job, melvin was initally looking out for him
All that other shyt melvin was doing was disrespectful, his mother also should've checked him

Like someone else said, everyone in that movie wasn't shyt.

 

[Alvin]

Disrespectful to who? Jody wasn't paying a goddamn bill

fam you don't do that shyt, is common courtesy
2. wasn't melvins ass HE MOVED HIS ASS in with a woman he was fukking, she was paying the bills

Y'all talk about Jody being a man child, which I agree, but where tf was melvin living that he had to stay with his woman.

 

[Alvin]

Question I never thought of until this question...

How old was Jody???

19, I believe (most 19 year olds don't got they shyt together, movie came out in '01 and that 1950's, you a fully functional adult at 17, way of thinking was gone by then)

 

[Alvin]

Wait to you Lil cacs and nikkas get in your deep 30s and meet a bad ass bytch and go to her crib and she got a chief keef or Mack Miller looking ass kid with his gang banging ass friends all in the living room smelling like lean, weed, and ass playing 2k at 3am when you trying to smash.

then I think the point is why are you messing with a single mother, unless she is so trifling that her kids aren't with her or the father has custody when I come over, it's common sense that 9/10 her kids are going to be around her.

His momma lonely ass felt water was thicker than blood..

moment she sided with Mel was the moment he needed to be gone

 

[Alvin]

Melvin did all that shyt on purpose. He was trying to get Jody out the crib that was the point. You ain’t see how shyt calmed down and dude was cool as fukk at the end?

that's still goof shyt and is disrespectful, that was his way of "helping" him? Even if he did move out he would still visit his mother I imagine, and would have to see that bytch ass nikka.

 

[Alvin]

Movie was a microcosm of the black family unit.​

of a low-income black family yeah, I would agree.

 

[Alvin]

Movie was legit on tv an hour ago

BET used to run the shyt out of this, it was years later until I seen the un-edited version

melvin fukking his mother.

 

[Carolina Slim]

His momma lonely ass felt water was thicker than blood..

moment she sided with Mel was the moment he needed to be gone

Powerful scene...

Melvin: That's it, I'm leaving

Jody: That's right niigga, you leave! This my house!

Momma: No, Mel! Don't leave!

Jody: Don't leave?!?!? You gonna choose this niigga over me?!?!? Your flesh and blood, your child?!?

 

[Lord Beasley]

the fukk made that nicca google that shyt

On a related note, how did Snoop weighing all of 75 pounds with shoes on at the time still come off hard as hell in that role?
