ok..good info
read a few times that in many ways the fictional character Nino Brown(New Jack City) was loosely patterned after Nicky Barnes
in the film Brown hits a mob guy(a don)and slaughters a few guys associated with him).and nobody ever retaliates
was based on Barnes hitting a made guy
Classic movie. you could be right however i think the main inspiration for the movie came from the chambers brothers gang in detroit that took control of apartment buildings and were making millions a day.
