Book Review: BMF: The Rise and Fall of Big Meech and the Black Mafia Family





ALL IN The Family

Stars: 5/5

An excellent examination into a drug syndicate so large and so organized that it took many years and many law enforcement man hours to amass enough evidence to take Big Meech (Demetrius Flenory) and his brother (Terry Flenory) down. Living in the suburbs of Atlanta, I had no idea of just how much of the BMF machine was operating in Atlanta. Also somewhat amazing is the the length of time the BMF cocaine cartel sustained itself in Atlanta and other cities such as Detroit and Los Angeles before coming to an end.

With a chronological treatment, Shalhoup will place you amongst the major players of the Black Mafia Family; providing insight into the BMF lifestyle which includes extravagant parties, numerous homes and expensive jewelry & cars. Details of the criminal activity, the familial strife, and Big Meech’s foray into the hip-hop entertainment business, all provide the necessary momentum to create the ‘Rise’ and eventual ‘Fall’ of the Black Mafia Family.

This book was recommended by a friend and as soon as I finished reading it I passed my copy on to someone else who wanted to read it..... a testament to the interest in the BMF story.
