He wrote \"Teddy Riley's New Jack Swing: Harlem Gangsters Raise a Genius\" for the Voice in 1987 and is credited with naming the then-new hybrid of R&B and rap. That same year, Cooper's article, \"Kids Killing Kids: New Jack City Eats Its Young\", published in the Village Voice, brought him to the attention of Quincy Jones, who hired him to rewrite a screenplay about 1970s Harlem heroin dealer Nicky Barnes. Cooper's screenplay was later produced as the film New Jack City (1991), which he set in Harlem after the arrival of crack cocaine in the 1980s.\n\nIt was the first film in what has been called Cooper's \"Harlem Trilogy\", which also includes Sugar Hill and Above the Rim (cowritten with Jeff Pollack, the film's director, from a story by Pollack and Benny Medina), both of which were released in 1994. According to Spin magazine's Michael Gonzales, the three films had an influence on \"hip-hop culture that can be heard in Jay-Z's lyrics and seen in P. Diddy's style\".\n\nCooper wrote all three films after moving to Baltimore, Maryland, where he lived until his death. In 2005, Cooper made his directorial debut with Blood on the Wall$, a 14-part web series starring Sugar Hill's Michael Wright\n\nIn 2008, Cooper produced the Larry Davis episode for season three of BET's crime documentary, American Gangster. Thus far, the Larry Davis episode has been the highest-rated original-series telecast in BET's history.\n\nStarting in 2007, Cooper published a blog, \"Hooked on the American Dream\". In 2011, he published Hooked on the American Dream, Vol. 1: New Jack City Eats Its Young, a collection of his essays and articles from the 1980s, in an Amazon Kindle edition. He was also a contributor to the Huffington Post.\n\nCooper died in Baltimore, Maryland, on January 21 or 22, 2025.","1958-06-12","2025-01-22",2,null,1392252,"nm0177875","Writing","Barry Michael Cooper","Harlem, New York, USA",0.4366,{"cast":18,"crew":78},[19,35,49,63],{"adult":4,"backdrop_path":10,"genre_ids":20,"id":23,"title":24,"original_language":25,"original_title":24,"overview":26,"popularity":27,"poster_path":28,"release_date":29,"softcore":4,"video":4,"vote_average":30,"vote_count":31,"character":32,"credit_id":33,"order":9,"media_type":34},[21,22],10402,99,103693,"Classic Albums: Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt","en","Jay-Z s'est imposé comme l'un des artistes hip-hop les plus populaires et les plus créatifs de tous les temps.
