Rick Ross also immortalized Hoover on his now classic 2011 track “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)” … a track that also championed the life and crimes of another recently pardoned former drug dealer … Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory Sr.

A commuted sentence is one that’s been reduced by a president or state governor … but the original conviction still stands — as opposed to a pardon, which erases the conviction.
Hoover, now 74 years old, had been imprisoned with multiple life sentences for a 1973 murder and being the GD’s head honcho. He’s since denounced the criminal activity of the gang he created.
