Where's The Loyalty... Black Mafia Family Co Leaders Fall Out!!
Posted on June 29, 2007 9:09 AM
If you’re a true Atlanta Hip-hop fan or have least picked up a newspaper in the past year then you should be all but too familiar with the well-known Black Mafia Family.
To give you a quick overview they basically ran the streets of Atlanta a few years ago, and some say were pivotal in putting rappers like Young Jeezy and Fabolous on the map.
Though their reign has ended, its not forgotten by the streets, the hood, or the court system..
Find out just how ugly it’s getting below.
This is a story ripped straight from the headlines:
Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and his brother Terry "Southwest T" Flenory, who are alleged to have built the multi-state cocaine empire known as the Black Mafia Family, grew so estranged from each other in the organization's waning years that Meech's trial lawyer is now attempting to sever Meech's case from Terry's â€" and from their 39 codefendants' â€" to ensure a fair trial.Meech, a flashy Atlanta-based hip-hop entrepreneur who is legendary on the streets is charged along with his brother with running a continuing criminal enterprise â€" a federal crime that can carry a life sentence. The brothers have been jailed since October 2005 while awaiting trial in their native Detroit.
Much of BMF's criminal activity, however, took place in the organization's Atlanta hub â€" which Meech allegedly helmed â€" as well as the L.A. one allegedly manned by Southwest T. And, according to a motion filed June 20, some of that activity occurred after the brothers suffered a falling out in 2004.
"While the government did not initially acknowledge that this split occurred, they do now acknowledge it," the document states, "and many wiretapped conversations include discussions between Terry Flenory and others about the then-existing rift between Terry Flenory and Demetrius Flenory."
The document, filed by Meech's Atlanta-based lawyer Drew Findling, contests the relevance to Meech's case such evidence s federal wiretaps on Southwest T's phone. The wiretaps netted more than 900 pages of transcribed calls, but the only mention of Meech has to do with the split between the brothers, the document states.
For instance, during a July 2004 call between Southwest T and a federal inmate called "Shep," the inmate asks Southwest T how his brother is doing, to which he replies, "Losing his mind man. We don't even speak. He lost his mind."
In another call, Southwest T says of Meech, "Shit, that crazy motherfucker running around over there. He mad at me. He letting them motherfuckers put that shit in his head. He don't even know why he is mad."
Meech has not been caught on a wiretap, and the majority of witnesses described in the thousands of pages of documents filed in relation to the case incriminate only Southwest T.
However, at least four of the brothers' co-defendants have given statements to the feds, and there are other witnesses â€" including confidential informants â€" who could testify against Meech.According to the motion filed a week ago : "At this time, much information remains unknown to this defendantâ€"such as which co-defendants will actually be tried with Demetrius Flenory, what defenses these co-defendants will present, whether these co-defendants will take the stand, and which co-defendants' statements the government intends to introduce at trial."
In a time where everybody is trying to be gangsta these kats should be a shining example of just how real he sh*t can get.
Let that shit marinate and we will all talk tomorrow.
Oh and prepare yourself. Yes, I was told I have to do another T.I. post for Monday…apparently its T.I. day on Monday. Hey, I aint the boss so I don’t make the rules. I just wanted to warn you all.

Gyant. You want the truth? You suck. and here's why...
5)its well known that most of your "fans" come here to clown you and you start deleting comments but at the same time say you got thick skin. weak. i know your "hits" took a nosedive when u did that and you stopped that shyt with the quickness.
3)You hit us with mainstream nonsense 95% of the time. You figure coming to Sohh Atl, you would know by now about Pastor Troy dropping july 3rd or a leak of Gucci Mane's new mixtape. nope. its let's hype t.i.p. who is already on every otha hiphop site. terrible.
2)You're not even from the Atl. Someone who looks at atlanta with an outsiders view cant rep the city truthfully. I could name 5 major hangout spots and you'd prolly have to mapquest them to find em, and you cant inform us on atl music any further than what u see on other hiphop sites. Sad.
1)You really think you're doing a good job. this is what keeps your "hits" up and pisses off so many people. Either you copy a post from anotha site or you "give your opinion" a.k.a. hate on any celebrity who you havent met and then "show them some love" when they finally meet u at an event or give u an "exclusive" interview. if that aint fake, then what is. Stuff we expect from mediatakeout but not here.
But on the real my dude thanks for reaching out and explaining yourself though it wasn’t necessary/ I have been a fan of your site since day one and I ain’t tripping. You do deliver hot shit.
Gyant,

There were over 200 funny as hell comments on here last night clowning Gyant. Now they've disappeared. You should work for5{ I see you are sucking up to T.I./Grand Hustle hard. Trying to cover your ass for that leak, so I can't blame you. I had to laugh when you made that "I'm repping the A" statement. You take every opportunity to hate on the A like a backpacker.
If what I've been readin and watchin for the past year is true them BMF dudes is no joke. Two brothers moved it all cross country and splurged what they made like it was water. That shit seems like straight out a movie. Ball til ya fall for real.
I love Gyant
