Just got done readin about how he actually went to Beverly Hills High School, grew up middle-class, and only fell into street life after "playin a gangster" in a few movies. Kinda like Tupac, Avery went "full hood" after seein his ass G'd up on the big screen, even goin as far as movin to the notorious Blood neighborhood, the Jungle....just what I read though.

The only reason I came across all this was cuz Boyz is on TV right now, and I just noticed the "Local Motion" sticker (see pic above). Local Motion is a surf company out here in Hawaii LOL >:)
