Luc Stephen on Supreme, Fat Cat, Pappy Mason, Facing 40 Years, Being Film Producer (Full Interview)
Ойын-сауық
In this full-length interview, renowned writer and filmmaker Luc Stephen talks about being born in his native country of Haiti in the late sixties before moving to Jamaica Queens (NYC) after a brief stint in Boston, Massachusetts. He also shares details about turning to a life of "sneak thieving" and drug dealing after being kicked out of his mother's home. As the Q&A session moves along, he talks about doing his first bid in prison, being released, and subsequently getting back into the drug game during the cocaine era. From there, he breaks down the intricacies of drug dealing, wholesale prices, and some of the key names in the game back then. Later in the interview, he talks about being a fugitive for eight years and getting apprehended by the feds for a bank robbery that he was not directly involved in.
As the interview nears a conclusion, Luc talks about getting out of prison for the last time in 2005 before revealing that his initial plan was to work as a personal trainer. From there, he talks about getting his big break into the TV/Film industry when he took part in the "Fat Cat" episode of 'American Gangster' on BET. The following season, he contributed to the show as a consultant. Lastly, he talks about creating his production company 'Second Chance Enterprises,' his evolution as a filmmaker, and the legacy that he wants to leave behind for his grandkids.

Damn dude wants to interview himself, damn we all know you sold dope , please allow the interview tell its own story
Out of all the street interviews I’ve watched this was probably the best one I’ve seen. Just the breakdown of the mental mindset of why dudes get into the Street Life and the intricacies of how things worked financially was something I’ve never seen in an interview before. 💯

@@lucstephensecondchanceente9868 I hopped off the porch in the 90’s and was taking trips from Baltimore to NY by the time I was 19. So to hear someone talk about what a “touter” is, what number the Dope take and how the profit margin might be lower but because of the quick flip you’ll see the money faster, even the difference in the type of women you could get was just something I’ve never seen someone talk about before. Even the mindset of how we didn’t realize we were destroying our communities. Much respect to you.. just being here able to tell your story is a Blessing 🙏🏾
