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:
“The real essence, the internal qualities, and constitution of even the meanest object, is hid from our view; something there is in every drop of water, every grain of sand, which it is beyond the power of human understanding to fathom or comprehend. But it is evident ... that we are influenced by false principles to that degree as to mistrust our senses, and think we know nothing of those things which we perfectly comprehend.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.”
—Laurence J. Peter (1919–1990)
