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.

Upon Ikes release from Jail in 2007 (same as movie release date) he was angry about there being no credit and the film making it look like it was all frank. He even called richie Roberts and told him he wanted to kill Frank but at this point the dude was like 80 years old.

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

No accountability for the Grown Men who killed his family when he was 6 years old, the time period was terrible we get it, but stop trying to talk reckless about a man who payed for his Sins and became a better thinking Man. With this he's no Hero, he is a Hero lived to tell us exactly what lifestyle not to partake in and Lived to tell about it. You act like he is promoting what he did in the sense of look at me and what I did, the shit happen, it happens, they came and asked he let it be known.

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....

[@achillespeleus2326]

It's what the system did to him and does to many many people still, how do you think the kids of Jacob Blake will grow up when they saw their dad being shot several times by the police. It's honestly really sad to see.

[@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]

Yes, that's what I said, he probably could've been a legit businessman if he wasn't traumatized by the murder of his cousin and absent father, he really could've been a very powerful man maybe at Fortune 500 or Wallstreet somewhere.

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

[@dangerunchained3128]

You're insane. This guy tore his community apart, selling drugs to his black brothers and sisters using their addictions to keep his penthouses. He ruined countless lives and families. When he was a kid, he was caught having an affair with his employers daughter so he smashed the employer's head with a pipe and set the business on fire. The only reason he snitched on other crime lords, thugs and cops was to lessen his sentence.

Growing up in the suburbs of New Orleans they had a man who lived across the street from me and he was in a electric wheelchair just like Frank and almost looked identical, and His nickname was Bigman, and I became best friends with Him, When I say he talked and sounded exactly like Frank in this interview it's uncanny, Anytime I would sleep in He would roll up in my driveway on His wheelchair and He had a cain and he would roll up to my window and bang on it with his cain and say get yo ass up son, it's a beautiful day outside, he was an ole time gangster from new Orleans and he taught me so so so much and he was like a father to me, everyday the second I walked outside he would be on his wheelchair in his front yard and he would roll up and talk to me for as long as I could sit and talk, unfortunately he got stomache cancer and passed away, but as a white kid who had a good upbringing how my best friend was a 80 year old black man in a wheelchair was as beautiful thing and a lesson in my life that all people are equal and racism is disgusting.
