I was 14 years old when this movie came out, and I remember that after the movie, it seemed every brother drove a Cadillac, or at least one with white wall tires and Max Julian-style clothes.

My grandfather was a pimp on 7th Street back then he knew Frank has pix with him went to the players ball all that ....word is frank was the first one to pimp white girls that's how he got so rich including a judges runaway daughter he didn't know that when they started shooting the movie she was seen with him and found out that she was doing he thought frank took her so the cops killed him and used the beef with the panthers to cover it up that why it was no investigation after his death the police ran all pimps out of town that how my family ended up on Chicago.....that's what happen

Most people don’t know that Frank tried to get out of that life. He told Carol Speed (who he was dating at the time of his death) that He was tired of that life. He even opened up a clothing store but he felt that his peers purposely didn’t patronize it because they wanted him back in the game.
