00:07Federal indictment alleges that Barney operated a major cocaine distribution operation
00:12to the streets of Metro Atlanta
00:14Mike, you must have the wrong Mike
00:18I never sold no dope
00:20I was traumatized
00:22The attorney says it's about shutting down that club
00:24When magic went away is when I feel like the etiquette
00:28was tampered with
00:30At that time, Magic City was the number one black club in Atlanta
00:34It was a space where women could be a part of the hustle community
00:39When I finally became the it girl
00:43I had this one friend that'd fly in every Monday night
00:46just to see why chocolate dance
00:47It was Michi from BMF
00:49We pay, you know, that's simple
00:52A lot of niggas don't like to spend their money

02:06And I would see BMF
02:09Be in Magic City

02:15That were surrounded by
02:16And immersed in that life
02:17Did y'all get India in the doc?
02:19We've been working here
02:20For a long time
02:21She hasn't sat yet

02:44Alright
02:44I'm born and raised
02:48I'm a Georgia peach
02:49For real
02:49I danced at Magic
02:51In the late 90s, 2000s
02:54Meech
02:54He was family to me
02:55He brought something to Magic
02:57That never been done
02:59We all elevated
03:01From that big Meech era
03:02We have to give him his flowers
03:04Atlanta was just a perfect stage
03:12For big personality
03:14It was a place where you could be young
03:16Black and fly
03:17Spend your money
03:18And you didn't draw any particular attention
03:22When people think
03:24BMF
03:25Black mafia family
03:27They're thinking of that high-end lifestyle
03:29What the greatest show on earth is
03:30Meech used to call it
03:31BMF
03:33Was created by
03:34Big Meech
03:35And his brother
03:36Terry
03:36They created a drug cartel
03:41You just watch the build of this
03:43Group of guys
03:44Ain't no telling how many
03:46250, 300 people in a club
03:48At one time
03:49The antics that they're known for
03:53Over-the-top partying
03:54It'd be a string of cars
03:55That hadn't come out yet
03:56Fully customized
03:58Going from one club to another
03:59Everybody's shining like new money
04:02There ain't no other crew like this in the world
04:04And there never will be another
04:08I started becoming a regular
04:10At Magic City
04:11Once
04:11BMF came
04:13They were so flashy
04:14You almost had to go in your shoebox
04:16And be like
04:17You know
04:17I got me fucked up
04:19I got a couple
04:20Dollars up
04:20I got a couple hundred
04:21You know what I'm saying
04:22My first birthday set
04:24When Meech
04:24First started coming to Magic
04:26Us dancing on $100 bills
04:27BMF blowing money fast
04:29That's what he did
04:30BMF came in
04:33And changed how everything operated
04:35I mean it didn't make sense
04:36Probably spending
04:36100 grand plus
04:38On any given night
04:39You wanna see some ass
04:41I wanna see some cash
04:43Keep them dollars coming
04:45Who invented Making It Rain?
04:47It's a throwing money thing
04:48The Make It Rain era
04:49Is a movie within itself
04:51There are a lot of people who say
04:52They invented Making It Rain
04:54Somebody might have
04:55Called themselves
04:55Taking credit for Making It Rain
04:58That was a BMF advent
05:01I started that in another club
05:03A boy Easy
05:04They didn't have number ones
05:05He started throwing fives, twenties
05:07I don't remember
05:08It happening before
05:09Meech came
05:10Throwing money in the air
05:11And not giving a fuck
05:12Definitely BMF
05:13I'm not gonna argue with people
05:16Definitely BMF
05:18But this right here
05:19We invented that
05:21For the record
05:22The only big spenders we ever had
05:24Was like BMF for real
05:26Can't nobody tell you
05:26Big Meech
05:27Meech, we love you
05:28He don't show love to this girl
05:30That girl, that girl
05:31He break bread with the whole club
05:33From the DJs
05:34To security
05:35To the bartender
05:36The waitress
05:37The house mom
05:38When you're just showing everybody love
05:40Now that's balling out
05:40Meech would throw money
05:43And you dance on the money
05:44It would just be a pile of money
05:46Excuse my French
05:47But I damn near made
05:48About $15,000, $16,000 at night
05:50Meech flooded the block
05:52One night I maybe made
05:54About $7,000 or $8,000
05:56Three songs
05:57And then that started
05:59Other guys doing it
06:01And then they started
06:02This money throwing war
06:03I done had my first
06:07Shure of wars with Meech
06:08You never wanna
06:09Let anybody throw more money
06:11Than you
06:11Once he take off
06:12Everybody take it off
06:13And it's just like
06:14One time I sure
06:16Pull out five
06:17And I pull out ten
06:18You pull out 15
06:19I pull out 20
06:20Probably spend about
06:22$100,000 between the both of us
06:24Girls started buying
06:27Fucking houses
06:27With that money immediately
06:28Girls started driving
06:30Nicer cars
06:31One girl at Magic City
06:33Was day trading
06:34I didn't think much
06:46About the dancers
06:48I thought more about
06:50The management
06:50That was left in charge
06:52Who handled things wrong
06:54Some of the management
06:55That worked during
06:57The time Mike was there
06:58Had cut me off
07:00They wouldn't talk
07:01To me anymore
07:02They now had a new chief
07:05And that's who
07:07They were loyal to
07:08These were people
07:09I knew
07:10For years
07:11And they turned
07:12Back
07:12We had bills
07:15We had attorney fees
07:16After a while
07:17The money ran out
07:19The breadwinner was gone
07:21So I had to quickly figure out
07:24How to survive
07:26Mikey stepped up
07:28From the ninth grade
07:29Until he graduated
07:31He worked
07:32Seven days
07:34We were just in survival mode
07:36He was everything
07:39Whatever I needed
07:40He would even tell us
07:42You guys go ahead and eat
07:43I'll eat what's left
07:45It still touches my heart
07:49Because he shouldn't
07:50Have had to do that
07:51He shouldn't have
07:53He should have been
07:54Having the time of his life
07:55But he worked
07:57I would go sometimes
07:59In the room
07:59And shut myself in
08:01And cry
08:01They would come in
08:03And they would all
08:04Surround me
08:05And hold me
08:06And
08:07They just said
08:09Mom
08:09We love you
08:10It's gonna be okay
08:12Everything's gonna be okay
08:13They were my soldiers
08:16They helped me through
08:18Motherhood
08:22It's a major challenge
08:23Your kids come first
08:25I have four kids
08:27I have two sons
08:28And two girls
08:29I'm a hustler
08:30And it's enemies
08:31Necessarily to come to my kids
08:33So I had started selling drugs
08:34The person who was selling drugs
08:36For me snitching me out
08:37And my house was busted
08:39I stayed in jail for three months
08:43Without a bun
08:44It was an eye-opener for me
08:46Because my kids had never
08:47Been apart for me
08:48So my mama got a bun
08:49Got me out
08:50I tried to work
08:52A regular job
08:53I was a supervisor
08:54For a visa
08:54The credit card company
08:56That lasted like six months
08:58I don't like paychecks
09:00It's not enough money for me
09:01I kind of dabbled
09:03Into the strip club world
09:04Because the big bosses
09:06Was in that club
09:08And I knew a lot of guys
09:10Probably wanted to see me naked
09:13You feel me?
09:20I used to make a flower
09:22Bloom
09:23Out of my private area
09:26And
09:27You just see these rose
09:28Blossoming up out of me
09:30And coming back
09:30And going back
09:31It was beautiful though
09:32And there was just guys
09:34Just giving me money
09:35I was like
09:35You fine as hell
09:36Like
09:36You fine as hell
09:38Big Meech
09:42Gave to a lot of people
09:44He always supported
09:46Anything that I did
09:46With the kids
09:47That era
09:49Paid for a lot
09:50Of people's
09:51Tuition
09:52It paid a lot
09:53Of folks homes
09:54It paid off
09:55A lot of
09:56Car notes
09:57You know
09:58A lot of money
09:59Was made
10:00During that time
10:01But I also believe
10:02That it was just
10:03Attached to the type
10:04Of music
10:04That was coming out
10:06What is trap music?
10:10Trap music is
10:12Philosophical presentations
10:20Set to music
10:21Detailing the lives
10:23Lifestyles
10:24And experiences
10:25Of refugees
10:27Of the war on drugs
10:28The dope boys
10:30And the trout
10:31Thaws killers
10:32And drug dealers
10:33Where you at?
10:34I'm a street nigga dog
10:36I'm a street nigga dog
10:37No industry
10:38I'm in the street
10:39Yeah
10:40We trap or die nigga
10:43Yeah
10:43We trap or die nigga
10:46Yeah
10:46The first wave
10:47Of trap music
10:48You can actually smell
10:49The dope being cooked
10:50You can feel it
10:51You were there
10:52The music made you feel
10:53Like you were there
10:54Drugs gets sold
10:54In certain ways
10:55Everywhere
10:55But trapping
10:56Is unique to Atlanta
10:57And like southern towns
10:58We have two story projects
11:00They're spread out
11:02On a widespread piece of land
11:03There's a lot of
11:04Dead end streets
11:04We coined it
11:05The trap
11:05Just because of
11:06That one way in
11:08One way out
11:09Type of mentality
11:09If somebody is from
11:12Denver
11:13Then they probably
11:14Know how to ski
11:14Somebody that may be
11:16From Hawaii
11:17They can surf
11:18I lived in a neighborhood
11:21That was a trap
11:22I used my trap money
11:24To buy some studio time
11:26This is the beginning
11:27Of trap music
11:29Becoming its own subgenre
11:31Of southern hip hop
11:32Not a southern sound
11:33Or a Miami sound
11:34But an Atlanta sound
11:35Gucci and T.I.
11:36Are I think presenting
11:37The dope boy lifestyle
11:39From the ground level
11:40Then Jeezy swoops in
11:43With the backing of
11:44The Black Mafia family
11:45And BMF
11:46And he becomes this
11:47Sort of larger than life
11:48Kingpin figure
11:50I met Jeezy through
11:52Meach
11:53We met at Magic City
11:55Magic City was like
11:56An office
11:57You know
11:58Every week Jeezy
11:59Gonna be in there
12:00It would be so many
12:01Tastemakers
12:01You wanted your song
12:02Played around these people
12:04I brought DJ Nando
12:05Over here
12:06It's a new record
12:07You wanna see what
12:08It sounds like
12:08And just see if
12:10The girls move to it
12:11I introduced Jeezy
12:12To Nando
12:13I said Nando
12:14Let's turn this
12:15Bitch up tonight
12:16Boom
12:16He started breaking
12:19The record for me
12:20Yeah
12:20Not to mention
12:22BMF made this
12:24They theme song
12:24If BMF is in the building
12:42DJ Nando
12:42Would just let it play
12:44Because
12:45They're gonna turn up
12:46At the end of the night
12:47The girls have to
12:49Tip out the DJ
12:50If Jeezy had music
12:52To push
12:52I pushed it
12:53Because
12:53I make money off of it
12:55I could dance to it
12:56So it's an operation
12:57That's happening now
12:58The BMF era
12:59Was an era
13:00Where
13:01That type of money
13:02Could be spent
13:04But it was
13:05An unsustainable
13:06Era
13:07Meach don't broke us off
13:13The whole BMF family
13:14Don't broke us off
13:15We don't make a check
13:15At magic
13:16We danced on
13:17Hundreds
13:18Twenties
13:18Fifties
13:19Whatever that was thrown
13:20But dancing is not
13:22An easy job
13:22You're dealing with
13:23Different people
13:24Smells
13:26Attitudes
13:27Perverts
13:28All money
13:29Ain't good money
13:30To me
13:30I used to be
13:34Really really really
13:34Really nice
13:35Like too too nice
13:36In the beginning
13:37But then
13:38Once I realized
13:40Like okay
13:41The more nice I am
13:43The more people
13:44Are gonna take
13:44Advantage of me
13:45Then I had to be
13:47More like
13:48A bitch
13:49I have a story
13:51Of this guy
13:52That coach
13:52He was a little purge
13:54And he wear
13:55Grey sweatpants
13:56But he broke money
13:56He pulled me back
13:58Towards him
13:58And all I feel
13:59Can I say what I wanna say
14:01Is this nigga
14:01Dick sticking out
14:02And I'm like
14:04Running and
14:04I'm backing up
14:05Into a penis
14:06I'm like
14:08What the fuck
14:08At Magic City
14:09I'm getting naked
14:10For my first time ever
14:11And I'm dancing
14:12Literally
