That particular scene is what this movie authentic , something that Hollywood is to afraid to try, and that's the Black P. Stone Jungle set. Those are the ones started by a fellow from Chicago T Rodgers. Jungles & Bity (City) are the only 2 sets and their reputation is cemented there.

I couldn't find the article but did you know that Rodgers appeared in Colors with Penn and Duvall.
I don't remember whether I read the article or saw the film first.A few things didn't add up. A Triple OG taking THIS kind of role(this scene is his entire role).
And... Rogers was active back before the streets had access high powered automatic guns and such, so seeing his old pictures and seeing what he looked like at the time..was shocked that the is such a small, unimposing guy. I figured that part of what made, say ,Tookie, so feared...besides his willingness to commit violent acts was his physical stature. Rodgers looks like a mortician.
