Moe introduces Big Meech, the leader of the Black Mafia Family (BMF), a massive multi-state drug organization. BMF was famous for its "The World is Ours" billboard in Atlanta and for laundering money through winning lottery tickets. Moe compares Meech's legendary status to Pablo Escobar and Scarface, noting how the organization was loved in the communities it supported despite the destruction it caused.
The 1983 film Scarface is identified as a foundational text for 1990s hip-hop culture and real-world drug organizations like the Black Mafia Family. Despite the protagonist being Cuban, the "rags-to-riches" narrative resonated deeply within the black community. The character Tony Montana became a prototype for rappers who adopted his name, lyrics, and "the world is ours" philosophy.
