![]() ![]() I was often asked by a former friend of mine numerous times to join the gang. I grew up in a Folk/GD neighborhood and saw the symbolic pitchforks and six point stars all over the place. Who is that? Only the reputed leader of Black Gangster Disciple’s gang and founder of the multi-gang consortium Folk Nation. And did you notice how the song’s acronym is eerily similar to the name of the criminal organization? BMF = Black Mafia Family eh Burning Money Fast. They are considered to be one of the deadliest and biggest black crime organizations, and thanks to people like Rick Ross and Meech’s own friend and protege, rapper Young Jeezy (who rhymes “I know Big Meech, the real Big Meech…”) he has become a celebrated hero. They traffic drugs, murder, pimp and every form of illegal action that could make money. He is the leader of a bloody, deadly criminal empire called Black Mafia Family. After all, the song is called “Burning Money Fast” right? WRONG!Īllow me to clarify. But on the surface, one would think all this song is promoting is a lifestyle of glamorous spending and luxurious living. There are a few ways to promote & glorify a lifestyle and one of those ways is the celebration of its heroes. What was happening was a destructive idea moving from idealistic imagery, to becoming a living, flesh and blood folk hero. Right there, in my car, in my own way – I lost it. ![]()
