In the second part of AllHipHop.com’s feature on convicted, incarcerated drug boss Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory goes deep into the annals of street history. Flenory, who is serving a 25-year sentence in Georgia, reveals the origins of B.M.F., a drug gang accused of selling tons of kilos of cocaine and laundering over $270 million dollars in proceeds.
In Part 2, Meech explains a variety of incidents, including the murder of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ childhood friend/bodyguard Anthony “Wolf” Jones. Wolf was so tight with Combs that he was a co-defendant in Combs’ high profile trial over a 1999 shootout involving J.Lo and Shyne. According to Big Meech, he was not involved in those murders, or the litany of drug charges he plead guilty to.
Big Meech explains Wolf’s murder, his relationship Diddy, as well as his brother, mother and father and his penchant to engage cops in high speed chases during traffic stops.
Big Meech is currently hoping to have his appeal heard in front of The Supreme Court in Michigan.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 11 (UPI) — Social Web site MySpace said Tuesday it will lay off about half of its workers, cutting 500 jobs in the United States and elsewhere to streamline operations.
Chief Executive Officer Mike Jones said, “The new organizational structure will enable us to move more nimbly, develop products more quickly and attain more flexibility on the financial side,” The Los Angeles Times reported.
With recent changes, the company purchased by News Corp. in 2005 for $580 million is regaining lost popularity, Jones said, pointing to increased activity in some of its online forums and 3 million new subscribers.
Firms that research online activity had data that was not so positive. ComScore Media Metrix said MySpace had 3.7 million fewer visitors in November compared with October’s 54 million total visitors.
The staff at GWOP Magazine (www.myspace.com/kbdigitalvision) currently does not use Myspace as much as we did back in 2006 when we started social networking. We have converted over to popular sites such as FaceBook & Twitter.
A firm that tracks advertising, eMarketer, said advertising revenue at MySpace fell 26 percent in 2010.
How long before social networking sites, FaceBook & Twitter fall off the radar?
