After Mitch’s little bro is kidnapped, Mitch hustles and sells as much cocaine as he possibly can for the ransom money to get Sonny back. 

His mistake was confiding in

Rico about it, as he murders Mitch for the drug money.

 Mitch was a real hustler, and his death was the type of tragedy that had you shook. Damn!

The race tensions in Bed-Stuy would ultimately lead up to the death of Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn), causing outrage in both the Brooklyn hood and movie goers alike. He didn't

have to die man...which ironically is what we're now saying about so many real life deaths like Eric Garner, a NYer also choked to death by police.

Both deaths were

shook us to our knees. #ArtImitatingLife

With Ricky (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) being a young dad with a way to college and potentially out the hood of South Central, his death was beyond hard-hitting. We can’t seem

to get the visual of him running away from that whip out of our heads!

Just because Jimmy (Chuck Patterson) wouldn’t relieve himself as the Five Heartbeats’ manager, money-hungry Big Red (Hawthorne James) finds a way to off the loved and determined manager.

We bawled

when that truck hit Jimmy. Like full on heaving and everything. Twenty something years later, and we still despise Big Red for that.

We were actually rooting for Cleo and her crew to dip out on 5’0 and end up on a beach somewhere with all their mulah in tow, but reality set

in when we watched the po-po fence Cleo in.

 Unwilling to go to prison, the cornrow wearing OG of the crew went out her own way, like freakin' Scarface, with

several bullets gunning her down. She was still our hero. She took one for the team...and we'll always be here for her! 

Caine (Tyrin Turner) was just a young dude with aspirations of leaving the hood. He was actually on the verge of dipping out to Atlanta with Ronnie (Jada Pinkett Smith),

when he got hit with a fatal drive-by bullet. Man, this one made our knees buckle. 

The flashbacks of his granddad asking if he wanted to live or die, was

the final straw that followed ultimately with water works (from us, of course).

After Raheem (Khalil Kain) and Bishop (Tupac Shakur) struggle over a gun, Bishop accidentally pulls the trigger, killing Raheem, to which Q (Omar Epps) and Steel (Jermaine 'Huggy' Hopkins) witness. 

This is when we knew that Bishop was officially bat s**t crazy. SMH. 

After Cochise (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) and Preach (Glynn Turman) go joyriding with a couple of other trouble makers, the four kids are arrested the next day, with Cochise and Preach, being released

soon after due to their clean record.

When the other two are let free, they find Cochise and beat him to death, leaving us all in freaking shambles at the

tragic and all too soon death of the charismatic black teen.

When Troy (Zelda Harris) comes home from a forced vacay, she finds that her ill mother, Carolyn (Alfre Woodard), is in the hospital. Soon after, Carolyn’s death would spark Troy

to distance herself, refusing to even go to the funeral.

Carolyn’s death was unexpected and had us feeling for all of the Carmichael’s.

Why Sister (Lonette McKee), did you have to get caught up with Satin (Tony King)? Whhhhhyyyyy?

This was a hard one to watch because we inevitably saw it coming after

Satin got Sister addicted to drugs and continued to physically abuse her. 

As foreshadowed, an overdose would eventually be the cause of her demise.
