Evidence note (master store)

Stored: list_type=award, note='Hip-hop awards show' — both established in a full fetch, capped at STRONG because the tier-2 route (bet.com, the issuer's own network) was unreachable (403, see attempts) and the establishing fetch is tier-4 specialist trade press. XXL (fetched in full) states: 'The BET Hip Hop Awards, an offshoot of the BET Awards, first started in 2006. For the first 10 years, it was held in Atlanta and has since also taken place in Miami and Las Vegas', in an article reporting BET CEO Scott Mills's August 2025 announcement suspending the show for BET linear TV. That directly establishes the entity as a BET hip-hop awards show (award) and additionally establishes a 2006 first year, which is not currently stored. Snippet-level bet.com copy seen in search (BET's own 2022 retrospective: 'In 2006, rapper-turned-actor Ludacris opened up the first Hip Hop Awards ceremony...') is consistent but was not graded from, per CTL-MTH-002.
