I guess Jay-z was right about Drug Dealin when he said that it ain't a whole lotta brains into that, it's just about trying to maintain a stack.
From Part II of Allhiphop's interview.
In Part Two, Big Meech discusses his thoughts on “Blowing Money Fast,” his relationship with Young Jeezy, and what his days are like inside Lewisburg U.S. Penitentiary, Special Management Unit:
AllHipHop.com: Mandatory sentencing disparities recently changed under President Obama. Any thoughts?
Big Meech: (LOL) Yeah, they changed the crack law twice in 24 years, and it still only helped a few people. We are grateful for the ones that it has helped, but all of the drug laws need to be changed, especially for first-time, non-violent offenders. Everyone deserves a second chance in life. Powder and crack are the same drug in different form. You put 15 grams of baking soda on 35 grams of powder cocaine, then cook the 15 grams of baking soda off to bring it to a rock form of 35 grams or less, depending on how you cook. So, what’s the difference besides the thousand years the judge is going to sentence you to in court for the crack instead of powder? The government knows that crack is sold in predominately Black and Hispanic neighborhoods, so that’s who their targets are to keep the incarceration rate up.
AllHipHop.com: What are your thoughts on the president?
Big Meech: First, I’m thankful that God blessed me to live and see our first Black president. I feel that the president before him made one big mess of America that it is impossible for Obama to clean it up, even if he gets a second term. I feel that all the stimulus packages in the world won’t revamp our economy, if we can’t create new jobs or new ways to make money. Violence is high in most of our Black cities and communities because our children have no guidance or people that they respect enough to listen to at home or in the community.
Hopefully, President Obama will take the time to look out for his people before he leaves office. Bush pardoned the most people ever before he left office, which included John Forte who did seven years of a 14-year prison sentence. I’m not looking for a pardon, although I would take it if he did it for me. I would love to see him change all the drug laws which are too severe and extreme for this day and age. If you look at all the fathers and mothers serving lengthy prison sentences, elderly grandparents are raising their young children. The gap between the children and their grandparents is so far apart that communication and understanding between them is almost impossible. So, there’s a lot of hostility and disrespect between young people and elderly people. Other than that, I think President Obama and his family handle being in the spotlight and the scrutiny that comes with that office very well.
AllHipHop.com: What are your thoughts on prisons in America?
Big Meech: We have the highest incarceration rate in the entire world, over three million people and counting. America is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Prison is nowhere near the rehabilitation place the justice system claims it is. They mix nonviolent inmates with violent inmates. Some people come in with three or four years, and end up with 20 or more years, or a life sentence simply because they had to protect themselves. Any and everything can send you to jail or prison in America, and that’s not always the right answer. They need to bring back 65 percent (time served of time sentenced) and parole for federal inmates. In the state of Georgia, you do 35 percent of your time if your crime is non-iolent or drug related. The feds are taking over so many state cases, that people who would’ve gotten probation or county jail time are now getting six years or more.
AllHipHop.com: Describe what your day is like?
Big Meech: (LMFAO). I have to laugh at this question to keep from crying, but trust me, I’m crying inside. I’ve been in the hold on ’23 and 1′ [23 hours in cell and one hour out per day] since June 2011. This SMU sh*t is like a torture camp for real. First, showers are only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Both me and my celly have to cuff up whether one of us is leaving to go to rec, shower, or medical, or if both of us are leaving. Everywhere we go, our hands are in black box handcuffs behind our back with a C.O. holding our cuffs, walking with us. I’m always trying to get out of my handcuffs first because you never know when your celly may have a bad day and jump you while you still have your cuffs on.
There’s three or four fights or stabbings daily, especially since it’s hot. If you disobey them, you’ll get a heavy dose of tear gas, which has the whole building choking and coughing, eyes burning. Then they’ll put you in restraints handcuffed extra tight with a chain around your waist, shackled. I’ve heard grown men cry crocodile tears from their hands swelling and nerve damage from the cuffs. If that’s not enough, they have another form of punishment called “Four Points” where they put you on your back chained around both ankles and wrists in a very cold room with the lights on. Everyone who reads this should look up Lewisburg SMU online and read about the deaths, disfigurements, and inhumane conditions and brutality that goes on in here. So, my days are like a living hell.
I think this nigga believes he is really a positive figure within the Black Community.
This nigga is a disgrace!
Rick Ross is a dumbass too
AllHipHop.com: What do you think of Rick Ross making the song “B.M.F.”?
Big Meech: Actually, I appreciate all of the music that Rick Ross and MMG has put out period. But in 2010, when I first heard my name repeatedly in the “B.M.F.” song, I was like, “Damn, that’s hot.” And it’s a hit. To this day, he has people from all over the world saying, “I think I’m Big Meech,” which is a priceless way of recognizing and paying homage to me and the B.M.F. family. We all have 100% love for Ross and MMG. I think he is a helluva artist and mogul.
Unfortunately there will probably some Mc Big Meech's coming soon
AllHipHop.com: Would you ever permit an aspiring rapper to use your name?
Big Meech: I wouldn’t have a problem with it as long as he’s good at his craft, especially if he’s as successful as Rick Ross and 50 Cent. Both of those men made their names worldwide household brands, and I respect both of their grinds to success. They both are very blessed, whether they realize it or not.
The New Black Panther Party should be murking niggas like Big Meech.

1 • Wack Feelings Nosign 1Cosign Ether GOAT LOL •the world loves to see people make millions off of things we're told we're not supposed to be doing.......
you're taught that everybody who breaks the law is a bad guy, and they're only supposed to get bad consequences for their actions... but when they make millions and live lavishly on the contrary...it always makes for a compelling story....people never get tired of hearing it, reading about it, and seeing it happen
word to the music industry, crime novels, hollywood, video games, documentaries, & every media outlet all over the world...
shit even you made a thread about it.....
shit's mad interesting to you right?

@God-I_Am_Ether
Romney? He didnt earn his money, he was born into wealth. I respect his wealth but he didnt have to earn it.
Madoff? Yes. He hustled his way into hundreds of millions. Went from Queens NY to millions.
The CIA is a government organization, not an individual.
Big meech hustled his way into hundreds of millions. Went from Detroit to millions.
I respect people who get money in a respectable way. It might not be legal but I still respect it.

drugs anyway. Prison rates are tied up with profits means a never decreasing prison rate and an ever expanding penal code system.

I respect the fact that people took over an entire continent and turned it into a world superpower. Slavery was just an example of a group of people taking advantage of another group. Its called capitalism.
@eternalmoney
Maybe its a stereotype now that he's in prison.
But when he was living in buckhead mansions, driving hundred thousand dollar foreign sports cars and earning millions......thats not a stereotype. Thats good old fashioned american entrepreneurial spirit.

1 • Wack Feelings Nosign 1Cosign Ether GOAT LOL •As for the thread topic, Big Meech's hustle alone deserves respect regardless. And yes, he's a legend to goons everywhere, so it shouldnt be surprising that he gets a lot of love from gangsta rap culture. As for mostly everything else, including his criminal career, I don't respect because I aint part of that lifestyle.
T/s seems biased or trollish. Big Meech is obviously intelligent and socially conscious in some ways. And he's a good source of knowledge, even by experience alone.
