Producer Mally Mal worked closely with Coke Boy Chinx before his untimely passing, and while out in Los Angeles on the BET Awards red carpet, the reality show star took time to honor his late friend and colleague. According to Mal, many people underestimated "what he did for Coke Boyz and French [Montana]," as he was the mastermind behind a slew of the crew's top tracks. "It's a sad thing, man. You gotta take advantage of the moments that you have now."
When asked if he'll return to Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood, Mally Mal says he'll appear on "a few episodes," but is primarily focused on his music career and not the drama the show brings to everyone involved.

"The original job for a policeman was to catch escaped slaves and protect the property of slave-owners. And it has not changed."
David Banner is fed up. The outspoken southern rap artist sat down with VladTV to discuss police brutality and the current state of hip-hop, and when it comes to both, Banner believes people need to stop watching it all take place and take action. "Our kids are dying. Little Black girls are getting beat. Where all the gangsters at when it comes to that?" he asks. "Everybody in hip-hop say they from the hood, but when the hood needs them, they're nowhere to be found."
Hailing from Jackson, Mississippi, the public speaker has also noticed how hip-hop doesn't recognize socially-conscious artists as much as the rappers whose lyrics hardly hold any substance, especially those from southern states like Big K.R.I.T. "If hip-hopper's ain't acting like monkeys, people don't f****** support them. And I'm tired of that, dude," he painfully expresses. "What's going on in hip-hop right now is embarrassing, dude."
From the McKinney pool party incident to incarcerated Black men, David Banner strongly believes instances like these wouldn't occur if their skin color were a lighter shade. "America would shut down," he states with an undeniably angry tone, recalling a talk with a friend of his who works for the law. Press play to find out how Banner plans to hold hip-hop consumers accountable for the way they portray the culture, and why it's up for hip-hop sites like ours to put the Black community in positive light, since major news stations like FOX hardly ever do.
Listen to David Banner's newest single "My Uzi" with Big K.R.I.T. on iTunes and Google Play. When it comes to his upcoming LP ''The God Box," he claims it's "one of the best hip-hop albums period. And after it comes out I'll never say that again - it's gon' be up to y'all to do it. And hip-hop say they want something better, well it's here. And if you don't take it now it's your fault."

MALONE, N.Y. (AP) — The escaped murderer who was shot by a state trooper near the Canadian border is in "critical but stable" condition at an Albany hospital, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.
Cuomo told CNN that David Sweat's condition initially was listed in stable condition but was downgraded to critical after being flown to Albany Medical Center on Sunday night.
Sweat is one of two prisoners who escaped from a maximum-security New York prison three weeks ago. The other escapee, Richard Matt, was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement on Friday.
Cuomo said Sweat had a bag containing maps, tools, bug repellent and Pop Tarts when he was shot twice by Sgt. Jay Cook on Sunday afternoon in a farm field less than two miles from the border in Constable, New York.
The daring escape from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora was "done with facilitators, it was done with cooperators," Cuomo said.
"This was 'Cool Hand Luke' meets 'Shawshank Redemption," he said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Some of the same state troopers who'd been hunting down the convicts since their escape found themselves scrambling to get the lone survivor to a hospital, hoping to make him well enough to share the tale of how the pair managed to escape and stay on the run for so long.
Sweat, 35, was shot and captured Sunday afternoon when a single state police sergeant spotted a suspicious man walking on a rural road in Constable, near the Canadian border.
His capture came two days after Matt was killed in Malone, just south of Constable, while holding a shotgun. Sweat was unarmed when he was shot twice by Sgt. Jay Cook as the fugitive ran for a tree line.
The men had been on the loose since June 6, when they cut their way out of the prison in Dannemora, about 30 miles from Malone, using power tools. Two prison workers have been charged with helping them.
Clinton correction officer Gene Palmer, charged with promoting prison contraband, tampering with physical evidence and official misconduct, is due in court Monday. His attorney has said he will plead not guilty.

Officials said Palmer gave the two prisoners frozen hamburger meat that a prison tailoring shop instructor had used to hide the tools she smuggled to Sweat and Matt. Palmer's attorney said he had no knowledge that the meat contained hacksaw blades, a bit and a screwdriver.
Prosecutors said the tailor shop worker, Joyce Mitchell, got close to the men while working with them and had agreed to be their getaway driver but backed out because she felt guilty for participating in the escape. Authorities also said Mitchell had discussed killing her husband as part of the plot.

Mitchell pleaded not guilty June 15 to charges including felony promoting prison contraband.
Sweat's capture ended an ordeal that sent 1,300 law enforcement officers into the thickly forested northern reaches of New York and forced residents to tolerate nerve-wracking armed checkpoints and property searches.
"The nightmare is finally over," Cuomo declared at a news conference.
Cook, a 21-year veteran, was alone and on routine patrol when he stumbled upon Sweat in Constable, about 30 miles northwest of the prison. He gave chase when Sweat fled and decided to fire fearing he would lose Sweat in the trees, state police said.
"I can only assume he was going for the border," Superintendent Joseph D'Amico said.
D'Amico said the men may have used black pepper to throw off their scent from the dogs that were tracking them; he said Sweat's DNA was recovered from pepper shakers found at one camp where the fugitives may have spent time.
Cuomo said many questions remained unanswered in the case, including whether the inmates had other accomplices.
"We have already started a full investigation," he said. "But today ends with good news. These were dangerous, dangerous men."
Sweat had not been formally interviewed by investigators as of late Sunday, but any information he provides could be critical to the investigation, Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie said.
Sweat will be charged with escape, burglary and other charges, Wylie said. He and Matt are suspected of breaking into some of the region's many cabins during their time on the lam. Wylie said prosecutors would wait for Sweat to recover before charging him.
Matt, 49, and Sweat used power tools to saw through a steel cell wall and several steel steam pipes, bashed a hole through a 2-foot-thick brick wall, squirmed through pipes and emerged from a manhole outside Clinton Correctional.
Sweat was serving a sentence of life without parole in the killing of a sheriff's deputy in Broome County in 2002. Matt was serving 25 years to life for the killing and dismembering of his former boss.
Authorities said the men had filled their beds in their adjacent cells with clothes to make it appear they were sleeping when guards made overnight rounds. On a cut steam pipe, the prisoners left a taunting note containing a crude caricature of an Asian face and the words "Have a nice day."
Prosecutors said the inmates apparently used tools stored by prison contractors, taking care to return them to their toolboxes after each night's work.

Already facing charges of murder, assault, weapons violations and drug trafficking,Bobby Shmurdacan now add the offense of promoting prison contraband to that list.
The New York Daily News reports that on June 21, a guard witnessed Bobby's girlfriend, Kimberly Rousseau, 18, hand him a "black latex glove balloon wrapped in black electrical tape out of her bra and hand it to him. The guard opened the balloon and found a sharpened metal object" during a visit to Rikers Island in New York.
Bobby was arrested and both were charged
Shmurda, real name Ackquille Pollard, is already staring at 25-years in prison if convicted of the previous charges.

Dej Loaf got tried during sound check at the 2015 BET Awards and one of her ex-managers didn't like the results.
TMZ reports that Dej fired her two managers a few days ago and hired a new team. Both of the approached her Saturday, June 27, to "talk it out."
The singer, her new team and bodyguards weren't having it. A fight ensued and one of the former managers had to go to the hospital to get stitches for a cut on his forehead.
Rihanna showed up at the BET Awards on Sunday, June 28, wearing a roll of duct tape as a bracelet. She put it to use on Floyd Mayweather Jr., who was seated next to her.
Riri duct taped the boxing champion mouth shut before turning her head in the opposite direction. Floyd can be seen mumbling something, while giving the singer a blank stare.
It was most likely a joke, butYahoo reports that the two were not sitting next to each other after the next commercial break.
