New York magazine spoke to Nicky Barnes and Frank Lucas together and it got interesting. In the movie, Lucas supplied Barnes with work and Nicky cut it (lowering the quality of Franks pure Vietnam heroin) and that’s when you hear the “Blue Magic” quote from Jay-Z’s song.
“I would rather be out here in the witness program than to be in jail with them. Why would I wanna be in there with them kinda niggers? I don’t regret it.
