About this listen

In this week’s episode of Lost in the Script TV, we dive deep into the culture, politics, and power plays shaping Black America. At 2:12, we break down Young Thug’s leaked jail calls and what they reveal about Atlanta’s hip-hop falloff. By 33:02, we shift to BET’s shocking suspension of the Hip Hop and Soul Train Awards and the rise of the Caribbean Music Awards through its new BET Media partnership. At 50:26, we discuss the rebranding of so-called Black thought leaders and what it means for cultural influence. Politics takes center stage at 1:17:55 as Cory Booker makes another run, followed by 1:24:02, where we unpack moves from Epstein victims and how they might reshape accountability. At 1:32:11, we examine the secret Army experiments that poisoned Black communities, before confronting “who they are” at 1:39:05—the forces shaping narratives and policy. Finally, at 1:51:29, we close with Trump’s National Guard deployment and the “Black brute” trope being weaponized despite falling crime stats in D.C. and Chicago.
