Song lyrics that glorify violence are hardly uncommon. But a prosecutor in California says one rapper’s violent lyrics go beyond creative license to conspiracy.
“King” Larry Hoover, founder of the Gangster Disciples street gang.
Larry Hoover was born on November 30, 1950, in Jackson, Mississippi, but grew up in Chicago. When he was 12, Hoover became the leader of the Chicago gang the Supreme Gangsters, which merged with a rival gang to become the Gangster Disciple Nation. In 1973, Hoover was sentenced to 150-200 years in prison for killing a drug dealer. After he committed money laundering in prison, his punishment was increased to six life sentences.
Gangster Disciple
Larry Hoover, also known as “King Larry,” was born on November 30, 1950, in Jackson, Mississippi. His parents moved the family north to Chicago, Illinois, when Hoover was 4 years old. By the time he was 12 years old, Larry was on the streets with his friends. Calling themselves “The Supreme Gangsters,” the group would often ditch school together and ride the El train around the city. Occasionally, they would engage in petty crimes, including stealing and mugging. His criminal activity soon evolved to shootings and assault.

“The Rise and Fall of Big Meech and the Black Mafia Family” on Amazon. Written by Mara Shalhoup
Demetrius Flenory aka “Big Meech,” the head of the mulit-million dollar drug carte, Black Mafia Family penned a jailhouse letter to Russell Simmons, in which he pleads with the music mogul to ask President Obama to issue a pardon.
2008Fugees artist John Forte,with the help of Carly Simon, granted a pardon despite being in prison for a drug conviction.
Meech writes:
“Most murderers, rapists, and child molesters get much less time than non-violent drug offenders. The punishments don’t fit the crimes when it comes to these drug laws and sentences”
In wake of the 2009 New York State drug law revision enabled more than 1,000 inmates the opportunity to apply for court resentencings and possible releases.
Meech contacted Russell Simmons in the hope that he would help him find a break.
“Entertainers have used certain drug dealers or street people for street credibility.”
He also uses Rapper T.I. as an example of what he could accomplish –for the good as a free man:
[T.I.] made the government ($9-10 million) before he did his first year in prison with his ‘Countdown to Lockdown’ television show,” f I was home to take care of all of the legitimate opportunities that my fiance and I have, I could do just as much, if not more.”
No word if President Obama has taken the Black Mafia Family Don into consideration.
