One of America’s most notorious drug lords, Frank Lucas, has reportedly passed away from natural causes. TMZ reports Lucas was en route to a New Jersey hospital to be treated for an unknown condition but died before he could get there. He was 88.
Lucas has been a part of pop culture for decades. Denzel Washington played the infamous heroin dealer in the 2007 movie, American Gangster, while JAY-Z’s American Gangster album was inspired by the same film about Lucas’ life.
The former Harlem resident is heralded as the puppet master behind the “Golden Triangle” gambit of the early 70s. The “Golden Triangle” was coined by the CIA and refers to the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet at the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong Rivers, one of the most extensive opium-producing areas of Asia.
Lucas claimed to have imported the heroin — which he often called “Blue Magic” — from Southeast Asia in the coffins of U.S. soldiers killed in Vietnam.
“Who the hell is gonna look in a dead soldier’s coffin,” Lucas told New York Magazine in 2000. “We had him make up 28 copies of the government coffins . . . except we fixed them up with false bottoms, big enough to load up with six, maybe eight kilos.”
Lucas was arrested by the mid-70s. When the DEA raided his Jersey home in 1975, they discovered over $584,000 in cash. He was ultimately convicted of federal and state drug violations and sentenced to 70 years behind bars. However, Lucas cooperated with the feds and became an informant. He and his family entered a witness protection program.
Following fiver years in prison, Lucas’ sentence was reduced to time served plus lifetime parole. But old habits die hard. He was later busted for drug dealing again and served another seven years. He was released in 1991.
Lucas leaves behind seven children.
RIP. I’m sure its a gangsta party in heaven with all the OGs he knew who passed on also.
How are you gangsta and you rat ?
where you come from my dude
You are lower than a dog with aids. I feel sorry for everyone that knows you and has ever known you. Your death will be welcome comfort for society, an early one we all wish for.
Another scum drug dealer dead
Good riddance got enough sacks of shit supplying the junkies
This is great news. Lucas was a degenerate scumbag. Some degenerates had principles, but not him, he was a snitch. Snitching on cops is still snitching, and contrary to how the movie portrayed him, he snitched on civilians too.
He. Did. Not. Do. Nothings. Yo. He. A. Good. Boy.
He’s not a good boy he’s dead
“Let’s name a street after him and from now on his death day will be a national holiday” -j_vvish politicians and legislators
You’re such a moron
He pumped heroin into NY and beyond, killing thousands, ruining the lives of people and their families, and with that sending crime levels through the roof and destroying neighborhoods and its inhabitants futures. Let’s not forget Frank Lucas was a super snitch and cooperated with the feds. If I said rip I’d be lying
Shut up. You listen to rap don’t you? That’s all they talk about. Dope and guns and you bobbing your head to it too. Fuck up clown
Stfu f.aggot. I listen to rappers who have a positive message, not the shit that you’re talking about. Way to stereotype HipHop btw you dumbass. Now sit the fuck back down bitch
Now you have a legion of dead soldiers to answer to
Fuck them too
There is a nice seat for him in hell. Hope those demons take it nice and slow with his torture over and over .
That shit don’t exist like you think maybe at best he respawns as a fly or gnat and dies 1000 times.
?
Rat
RIP OG we gonna miss you
Lol @ this dumb fucc upholding an individual that single-handedly distroyed thousands of lifes. The only gangster bone that you have in your body is from the gangster fuccing you. You narrow-brained scums, fascinated about everything that brings the society down, deserve to be castrated, you don’t deserve to breed.
It’s not your fault racism is linked to mental defects. Just do your best…that’s all that matters.
And you are the problem. It’s attitudes like yours that keep blacks in a cycle of poverty.
Only dealer to make it to retirement!
N
He was a snitch. He snitched on more people that snitch nine. He wasn’t a gangster he was a snitch. How does he get a pass?
Drug dealers should be executed.
This man did more harm to the black community than the KKK has in it’s entire existence. Say what you will but this niqqa is alright in my books.
Shut the fuck up
It’s called freedom of speech you Dindu. Stop being rude and let people Express themselves.
I’d say the destruction of the black community stems from higher places where unwritten laws were put in place to further halt the plight of blacks. The assassination of our leaders, the government/foreign entities peddling drugs into affluent black neighborhoods, the destruction of schooling and several other issues.
Frank Lucas was my role model,im a young aspiring rapper who listens to Jay-z and Biggie and they also sold dope,death be not proud rest in peace Mr Lucas
