Boyz in the Hood: Guy with Pacifiier what is up with that?
Just saw Boyz in the Hood on cable. One of Dough-boy's (Ice Cube) gang was always sucking on a Pacifier. He's a grown man what the heck is up with that?

It was a different time and a very different world. Something like that on the street would have been a sort of call sign. Whatever strikes you as different from the rest.

actually it was a fad that developed in response to some woman of prominence (don't remember who) labeling all black men as infants. this information was on the laserdisc commentary. not sure if it ever made its way to dvd.
incidentally, that actor was murdered in Riverside by a vietnamese shooter. they were both from the street racer scene chronicled in the fast and the furious, to which singleton directed a sequel.

Ecstasy (MDMA) and Club Drugs
Possessing a baby pacifier, a pacifier made of candy, lollipops, and candy necklaces. Some club drugs cause the users to clench their teeth tightly which causes discomfort. The pacifier eliminates this discomfort.

Also, ectasy wasn't around back then and I doubt this instance had anything to do with today's popular drug culture.
