BMF: The Rise and Fall of Big Meech and the Black Mafia Family Kindle Edition

This was an excellent read. The work by the various law enforcement agencies was thorough and complete. It's amazing to me how these guys think that their over-the-top ostentaciousness, the expensive jewelry, large houses, excess partying, and top of the line cars etc., all purchased with unverifiable incomes would remain under the law enforcement radar forever. The wiretappings of the kingpins voices as well as the number of bodies attached to members of this crew were sure signs of pending disaster. This saga reminds me of HBO's "The Wire" except on a larger scale. Because of the number of characters and the depths of the events, this work must be made into a TV series or a 3-part movie at least to capture the totality of BMF. Overall, I give this an A+.

The book was action packed. You see a lot of faults both men made (Meech and T) You have to pay attention to detail to learn what was behind their demise. Synopsis of “middle men” taking over the black drug trade. Everything about what big Meech was became clear in one paragraph. The big players are the cartels, not BMF. Nevertheless, they catch one fish and the shark is still swimming. Is it really wrong that BMF took an opportunity to distribute to their people? I thought the government introduced crack cocaine into black communities in the 80’s? What’s wrong with assisting the government in their plan of deteriorating ghetto communities?

My jaw dropped throughout this book. I couldn't believe what I learned about Big Meech and his brother, Terry, and the BMF family. I was so engulfed in this story, it read like a good episode of Law & Order, which I'm a huge fan, and I could NOT put this book down. This book was appropriately named, The Rise and Fall, and I tell ya, when they fell, it was pretty damn hard. I hear now that Big Meech, from inside his prison walls, is planning to do a reality show. That's pretty damn good to do, if the rumors are true. There are several entertainers tied to this mafia family, one being Young Jeezy. Learned a great many things about the cocaine world and trafficking. It's a shame these brothers didn't put that business savvy to proper legal use, but this was the life they chose, and so they have to live it. A great read! Caution: If you have a hard time following detailed drama shows, then you will be lost reading this book. It does tend to move all over the place, and you have to stay right there until the bitter end! [...]

The plot was fascinating but in my opinion the writing was not that great. The author switched topics and jumped from character to character so quickly throughout the book I had a hard time knowing who was who. She did not do a great job of dovetailing everything. I often found myself going back to previous chapters to find references to correlate everything. This is a gritty story and written in it's rawest form would have been fine...but it seemed like the author was using big words just to use them. It was almost as she put more into the writing than the actual story- if that makes sense. I love a good book and this was such a great story to tell but the way it was told kept it from being the page turner it could have been if someone else had written it.

Great book full of facts from the mind of the man that played a big part of the game. It may not be for everyone but I surely enjoyed it and keep it proudly on my bookshelf.

I too could not put this book down. It was so detailed and full of play by play information. But what shocked and surprised me was the amount of crew members that became goverment witnesses. I was not expecting those major players to roll on the Terry like they did, so much for their slogan Death before Dishonor....Before the movie comes out, how about a sequel to update us on how many of those who turned government snitches are still alive!!! Overall a very good book!! I was pleased with the content.

This book was good to me. It’s not just rise and fall of BMF. Rise and fall of Sin City Mafia as well. Southwest T and Big Meech were very smart with the moves they made. Reading this book, I can see how people are caught. When the heat is on them they keep moving. BMF helped Jeezy out with promoting his music. In return he had them in the spotlight with him. No matter how smart you are. They law enforcement can always find a way to bring you down.

This is a poorly-written book about people that no sane person could care about for a second.

Received today, bought book as new but book was covered in paint when it came and some pages are stained

Great delivery and excellent read, couldn't ask for better!

Incredible book very accurate. Based of court documents.

Terribly written.
