Who am I? Leroy 'Nicky' Barnes, an ex-junkie street hustler who worked his way up from average Harlem drug pusher to the Godfather of a multimillion-dollar drug empire. I was Superfly before Ron O'Neal, the Pusherman before Mayfield's hit, and wrote the book on New Jack City before Wesley Snipes attended junior high. I'm not an actor, not a best-selling novel or Hollywood hit, and definitely not a figment of some gangsta rap imagination. In the 1970s, I was the real cold-blooded deal, flooding the streets of Harlem with heroin, creating the entire economy of upper Manhattan, high-tailing through the five boroughs in my custom Citroen-Maseratis, dodging and ducking from the law, beating the rap, and still having time to hand out turkeys to the poor for Thanksgiving. In my day, an NYC detective once told Time magazine that the ghetto kids thought I was "the greatest thing since Muhammed Ali." I am what fiction is based on, and what you may have heard is all true, and if it ain't, its because the truth was way more hardcore. Between 1973-1977 I had been arrested for homicide, bribery, drug dealing and possession of dangerous weapons. None stuck, and by June of 1977, Mr. Fred Ferretti of the New York Times Magazine had no choice but to write a front cover piece declaring, "This is Nicky Barnes. The police say he is Harlem's biggest drug dealer, but can they prove it?" It took President Jimmy Carter, the US Attorney General, and America's first anonymous jury to finally put me away. For five years in jail, I was still running my $2 million a week gig, until word got back to me: my most trusted lieutenants were not only shorting me on deals, sleeping with my wife, sleeping with my girlfriend, but snorting coke and having too much fun before the eyes of my little girls. That's when I changed from Nicky Barnes, biggest drug dealer in America, to Nicky Barnes, biggest DEA informant ever...
Today, I have no face, no voice, no residency, and no identity. I am a free man, but others might call me something else: a street legend, a snitch, an enterprising genuis, a dead man, "the John Gotti of his time." To many I am unkown. In 2007, a biography and a documentary on my life will be released. There, you can decide for yourself who I really am. Personally, I stick with my main title, "Mr. Untouchable."
Mr. Barnes, I shouldn't leave a comment on here because it's not really worth it. I say that because the media advertise your game before my existence but it's seems as if that's what everyone in the slums have to admire is the style of hustling. One of folks locked up now admires your legacy plus another person, whose was an entertainer with Bad Boy records, that's locked up as well. American Gangster was a good movie but to be honest, I didn't like how the movie portray your character with flashy suits plus the bald head. You did what you had to do in order for your family to succeed and let's me know that being a family man is an important as being...well, Mr. Untouchable. I see the comment below me and I'm definitely not competing with that one but just being true about the situation, that's all. It wasn't good for what you've done but again, thanks for the work ethic. Peace and Blessings Mr. Barnes
One of the greatest Man alive is you my father, because you lay down the foundation to my beginning and for this I will never forget. The shield you wore was magnificent in making and now you are known as the untouchable for who else had to have a hang jury to be detain and yet you are here. I am not saying this, because I forgot father day. To learn more about you, came to my surprise for I am not the seed which carry your strength, but there is similarity in us.....for we are both brokers. The old counsel of seven was created by you and the new counsel of seven is now ran by a woman. See a woman can be every bit as vindictive as a man and in that I am still able to love. Father it was your loving arms that I remember supporting me and believing in me. I can't build upon your success for it speaks all of its own....Well done father for I am now proud of you..... In my world father I have thrown down my shield but yet I hold the Excalibur. Renowned for his majesty nickname you hold both power and strength, and that is why your business is a success. Your distinguish mark your domain Father, because no man would dare go beyond their family to care for others and for that reason alone no man can change your history. You made sure that many people in your territory was well provide for and that is another reason why you are a great Godfather.....I give you much respect for what you have done, because I Nefertiti only wants to leave behind the dusts of a woman ass.........I pray to God for you to be restore all the years that man has taken away and that God himself keep his loving arms around you for many years. I also ask my God to give you good health for all the time you feed other family's..... Love you Dad
