Frank Lucas Interviewed By Korey Rowe

Working on the documentary "Redemption" ( www.imdb.com/ti... ) Korey Rowe interviews Frank Lucas. From the man who inspired "American Gangster" Frank Lucas looks back on his life while sharing how he became the most notorious gangster and leading drug Lord of the 20th century. After smuggling thousands of Kilos of pure number 4 heroin into the US from Vietnam during one of the worst wars in US history Frank's drug racket is provably the largest game changer on record to date. Redemption will not only showcase the rise and fall of Frank Lucas's empire but will also show the progression of heroin sales in the US and how it has evolved since the 1970s and still plagues the streets of America today and effects the lives of all of its users.

When the interview started Mr. Lucas made it very clear he didn't want his location disclosed, but the last seconds of the video for some reason the camera is zoomed out to expose the location of where Mr. Lucas was staying. It took me 10 mins of googling to know exactly the location, smh. If you're going to interview people you should respect them and their wishes. Like how he asked you to edit out the part where he's talking to the children but you didn't. Very disrespectful.

RIP to a so called Big Time Criminal, but through His Life and the Investigation, it showed US, (WE THE PEOPLE), who the real Criminals were the entire time. The NYPD was Taxing street Gangsters before Frank Lucas and are still doing it to this very day. The same way Frank and all his associates were Indicted as Rico Criminals, it lead to a RICO indictment of dirty law enforcement officers, and the ones PAID TO PROTECT AND SERVE the PEOPLE (US).. So the question is, who is really hard the BAD PEOPLE ?? The small time Hood Thug trying to survive in a Discriminating World and make it to the Big Time Millionaire World (Where the Money brings RESPECT and a sense of NON DISCRIMINATION AMERICA) or the so called good guys, (JOHNNY LAW), who BREAKS ALL THEIR OWN RULES, POLICIES, PROCEDURES, TREATIES WITH THE REAL NATIVE AMERICANS, STOLE ALL THIS LAND called the United States and their Territories AKA the U.S.A. (from Mexico, France, Great Britian, and the Natives) and to this very day VIOLATES ALL OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, as American Citizens ???? As Dr. King said in his last speech "I've Been to The Mountaintop", AMERICA BE TRUE TO YOURSELF, All we say to America is, “Be true to what you said on paper.” If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn’t committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right. WE THE PEOPLE....

Frank Lucas comes across as a sympathetic character, he seems genuine and down-to-earth and he boasts that he helped get kids in college and paid people’s rent and gave out Thanksgiving turkeys but he also destroyed families through his drugs and murdered people when it suited his purposes. He became a poor role model for all the impressionable kids of color that were growing up in Harlem at that time and God only knows how many kids went on to become drug dealers because they wanted to imitate his lifestyle of fancy cars, women and pockets full of money. It’s incredible that he survived the drug game but make no mistake this man hurt a lot of people and those watching this video should never forget that

[@666m111]

No he wouldnt. The reason he was successful was because he went to the source of heroin, took a chance, then took over the trade, undercutting the Italian monopoly and cutting out the corrupt police, who used to take the drugs, cut them, sell them back to the dealers. He was able to guarantee the quality of the product, being better than anything anybody supplied, even the Italian wholesalers would have no stronger than 50% He wouldn't have been able to do that with any other business, other than Cocaine, but that'd be whole different kettle of fish.

[@sufundasamuels2313]

@@jasoncarper4531 I don't see it. I see hope, sharpness, code, and heart. I think that is also what makes him Frank Lucas huh... He knows how to show what face at what time, when to fold, when to stand stoically in his truth demanding respect with a look or tone. I can listen to him forever. I wish it was a bit clearer however. His voice is strained by health related aging issues, a stutter and that deep south fast talk. Ppl think its being slick but it is often regional and demographics. He is sharp though isn't he

No it’s easy to tell he’s a piece of shit

According to the film American Gangster, Frank Lucas’s last load was 2,000 kilos. The numbers he just provided would put his cost at 8,000,000 and would place the street value at 100,000,000 and thats In late 60’s-Mid-70’s in 2033 that would be the equivalent of $1,024,875,000.00

You can tell he was a good looking youngster to still look this good at 80 something. This guy is sharp as a whistle. "No Matter How You Cut It - Robbing is Violent" - FL. I love his story and I feel Hollywood was drawn to him more so over Mr. untouchable because of his resilence, his ability to sustain himself without succombing to using alcohol and dope to depress what could have been hopelessness, for tenure. This man is a survivor. He knew how to pull himself up over and over again, still.abiding by a code of ethics unique to himself. That's a smart man in his own right. That's a success story no matter how you cut it. He reminds me of Quincy Jones in the way he speaks with such strong convictions. ME _ You got that backwards. He wasn't my right hand man; I was his right hand man. That's Respect FL. _LilGirl, gone in the house. _ I'm impressed at myself for making such analogy of FL before him actually verbalizing his ability to hold/fold or set it off.
