Driver Who Crashed Into Tracy Morgan Wants Charges Dropped

Kevin Roper, the driver of the Walmart truck that crashed into a limo that killed one man and seriously injured Tracy Morgan, will ask the judge to throw out the criminal charges against him. Roper's attorney, David Glassman, made the revelation to The Associated Press, and he added that the truck driver hadn't been indicted on one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. 
Glassman claims that Roper is unable to get a fair trial due to the negative publicity surrounding him since the June 2014 crash. He added, "Civil cases are routinely stayed for criminal cases to proceed. Had that occurred and a stay issued in the civil case, a tsunami of negative pretrial publicity would have been avoided and Roper's right to a fair trial would have been preserved."

Tyga Reacts to Criticism Over "The Gold Album" Sales

Tyga recently released his latest project, "The Gold Album," on Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube for free due to his conflicts with YMCMB, so the rapper was shocked that he was getting criticism over album sales. The L.A.-born emcee took to Twitter to respond to Complex writing a story about how Nielsen SoundScan showed the album selling a mere 2,200 copies. Tyga said that he didn't even intend to make money off of the project and added, "Yall mfs is funny. I put my album out myself for free on spotify,soundcloud, YouTube to stream. Didn't plan on selling it Kuz of label problems. It's a dope album. Got a lot of great feedback and millions of streams."

Big Hutch Disses Shyne

Shyne bashing Kendrick Lamar's highly respected album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, has rubbed many people the wrong way. Fellow West Coast rapper Game already stepped up in Kendrick's defense on Twitter not too long ago, and now Big Hutch of Above The Law has chosen to defend Kendrick as well. Hutch spoke to Yahoo Music about Shyne using Twitter to slay Kendrick's new album by calling it "trash" over and over again. Hutch didn't respect that one bit and feels as though it was a "cowardly" move. "I don't really get that. I don't get Twitter bashing, Twitter banging. We don't do that. I'm an ex-con. I thought he was an ex-con. That's how that man eat. That's how Kendrick Lamar eat. So, for you to publicly say something is trash, that's just a hater move. got no issue with Shyne, but I have issue with cats Twitter bangin'. At the end of the day, c'mon gangsta, do it the right way. Come to one of his shows...
