Internal Hierarchy
The MLD's top position is “Prince”. Hitler had the rank of the “King”, but after he died no other leader held that rank. The next rank down is the “Don,” then “Governor.” They also have a “Chief of Security”, "Enforcers" and some sets have their own rank and file positions. The lowest ranks are “Soldiers” and “Shorties.” After Ferny was incarcerated, Rick Dog assumed the rank of Prince, this was sometime in the 1980s.
In 1996, when Tuffy Bums initiated civil war within the MLDs, he also called himself a Prince. Additionally, Outlaw may have held the rank of the Prince, although he was previously a governor. Governors control individual corners. In the mid-2000s (decade), Fiddle held the rank of Don, but he was the principal leader on the streets. Also, on the streets, The BUMS and Pimp Daddy control rival factions of MLDs, and they may be respected as Princes.

Famous quotes containing the words internal and/or hierarchy:
“Even if fathers are more benignly helpful, and even if they spend time with us teaching us what they know, rarely do they tell us what they feel. They stand apart emotionally: strong perhaps, maybe caring in a nonverbal, implicit way; but their internal world remains mysterious, unseen, “What are they really like?” we ask ourselves. “What do they feel about us, about the world, about themselves?””
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
“In the world of the celebrity, the hierarchy of publicity has replaced the hierarchy of descent and even of great wealth.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
