Dawgface returns to VladTV for a candid breakdown of BMF’s Detroit origins.
They both argue that Big Meech and the Black Mafia Family only became the powerhouse the world knows after leaving the city and building ties in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Memphis and Atlanta. He and Vlad revisit Ladon “Beast” Simon’s account of shooting Big Meech and discuss how that history influenced the Lamar character in the Starz series.
The conversation shifts to the fallout with 50 Cent, with Dawgface calling it a major mistake for Big Meech and Lil Meech to damage a relationship that helped turn BMF into a mainstream brand. Vlad reflects on Lil Meech’s acting future, 50’s leverage in Hollywood, and why some industry beefs don’t get repaired. They also touch on Southwest T, Supreme, Shaq, Tony Yayo, Memphis Bleek, Complex’s food show, and the realities of loyalty in media and entertainment.
