Yummy was only 12 but he was responsible for multiple shootings through Chicago. One of the shootings that was responsible for ended up with innocent bystanders being killed. Yummy was then killed by his fellow gang members (Black Diciples) for bringing too much heat to them.

-"why me?" - "why not you?" the greatest response ever.

This is such a perfect scene because if you keep watching for another 30 minutes he really does understand what death is and it’ll hopefully make him value his life.

You see, this is why nobody can replace Denzel Washington in these movies. Nobody has the power to say this scene as impactful like Mr. Washington.

I like how the "gangsters" just chilled after MC left them. No one bothered to come down for the next 5 minutes!!

King Kong ain't got nothin on Creasy. Lol

A lesson that needs to be taught to those who believe this lifestyle is all that us as black folk are..... It's not honorable nor is it admirable 💯💯💯🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿

There's a channel called CharlieBo313 and he goes into the hood of big cities like Chicago and New Orleans. Go and watch some of his videos. The gangs and cliques let him interview themselves and what you see is fucking insane. They got better weapons that most police departments. Everyone has a piece and usually they have heavy artillery near by in stashes. Like fully auto AK's, AR's, Glocks...

@@nicobeanwdasteam3200 Sorry, but that's the hard truth. It's your culture. When you have fatherless children listening to music rapping about slapping bitches, f*cking hoes, and doing drive-by's, what else do you expect? Change your culture and the negative stereotypes associated with it go away. We can't change it for you....

This goes deep. It touched me inside somehow. Even for a movie 🎦..

geez, denzel plays the character so calm and never letting his emotions control him but when he says ''you dont know what death is'' you can see the pain and emotions leaking out through his expression and eyes. S++

The acting.. unreal how realistic it is. Denzil Washington you are a legend!

Man I love these movies. I can't tell if Denzel is that great of an actor or if this is just his real personality but it comes off as so genuine.

I’m your father ya mama just didn’t tell you - that had me dying 🤣🤣

Respect to whoever wrote in script Little Yum Yum. For those that don’t know google it. He was from Chicago. If you think your bout that life let me tell you something only the strong survive and die it’s cold way of life. I’m just a 51 yr old Chicano from Sur Califas the picture you see is when I was young and innocent that’s who is in my heart today. By the grace of god and familia Im here to say “ There’s no future in it Homie” God Bless 🙏🏼✌🏼

Denzel is a hell of an actor.

The best thing about this to me is it's established already that Denzel's character's past was as one of the government's best killers, and he doesn't at all love what he did, and admits he deserves to die for it. It's not just trying to be there for this kid, he doesn't want him to grow old if he makes it that far to regret his decisions.

When he said “You don’t know what death is!” I said out loud "Yes Sir" like I was actually there.
