Glory is not mine to give.

"Please list two (2) differences between Larry Hoover and Barack Obama"-DV

Hmmmmm...

Paul Mooney made a similar point. Graffiti art takes place on walls where as Mount Rushmore takes place on the side of a mountain.

Better yet list two differences between Larry Hoover and Huey Newton; or Malcolm X; or Marcus Garvey.

How interesting that His Imperial Majesty Denmark Vesey Taj Malik Bey (aka Dr. Bacon-Bey) would be extolling the iniquities of Demetrius Flenory and the criminal complexities of Larry Hoover, instead of Caliph Abdullah-Malik of the El Rukn Tribe of the Moorish Science Temple.

OBTW, the real “Freeway” Ricky Ross is suing the phony “Rick Ross” to get his name back.

“Cocaine running in my big vein.” —William Leonard Roberts II

“If it ain’t hip hop, it ain’t relevant.” His Imperial Majesty Dr. Bacon-Bey—the hypocrite who advocates a healthy lifestyle, while propagandizing elements of self-destruction. How oxymoronic is that?

This William Roberts garbage is relevant alright—relevant to the “psychodynamics of Black self-annihilation in service of white domination.”

[My son was killed by the Black Mafia Family."

Those nine words, spoken by a grieving mother one morning in 2004, started journalist Mara Shalhoup on a trail that, more than five years later, has led to the publication of "BMF: The Rise and Fall of Big Meech and the Black Mafia Family."

When Shalhoup, then news editor at Creative Loafing, first met with a distraught Debbie Morgan over breakfast at Thumbs Up Diner, she was only hazily familiar with the crime group. Morgan herself knew little, just the names of a few people involved with the organization she blamed for her son's murder. But after a records search at the Fulton County Courthouse, Shalhoup uncovered the tip of an iceberg. Each new document revealed a criminal enterprise so vast, it even reached into the Atlanta mayor's home.

Originating from an award-winning three-part series that ran in Creative Loafing in December 2006, Shalhoup's book tells the story of two brothers from Detroit, Demetrius and Terry Flenory. Children of modest, church-going parents, the brothers pulled themselves out of rampant poverty by dealing cocaine. They eventually built their small Detroit operation into a national, wholesale cocaine empire known as the Black Mafia Family. "To keep up with the flow of drugs and cash, the Flenory brothers would have to employ a network of several hundred couriers, distributors, and money-launderers in nearly a dozen states. The brothers, in turn, had the smarts and stamina to manage a network of that size," Shalhoup writes.

By the time Morgan tipped off Shalhoup, BMF had cornered the market for wholesale cocaine in Atlanta. A billboard towered over I-75 and Peachtree Road proclaiming, "THE WORLD IS BMF'S." Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory had become a fixture in Atlanta's hip-hop scene, promoting BMF as a record label and showing up in videos for Young Jeezy and Bleu DaVinci. At the same time, feds were listening on wiretaps, setting up surveillance teams, and building the case that would eventually topple BMF's empire.] Creative Loafing--ATL
