About this listen

From the fall of hip-hop on the Billboard charts to the rise of AI musicians, Lost in the Script TV dives into the cultural reset shaping 2025. At (7:21), we break down how rap vanished from the Hot 100 and what that says about the genre’s regional evolution. By (13:18), the question gets real: is hip-hop losing its grip, or just transforming? Jump to (27:39) as we examine the rise of AI artist Xania Monet and its impact on Black music’s soul. Then at (55:07), the Ye season returns, why Kanye’s shadow still looms over culture. At (1:04:31), Roda Osman’s guilty verdict opens a larger conversation about clout, crime, and culture, leading into (1:14:59), where we question the dangers of the Black intelligentsia. At (1:23:32), Joe Budden’s clash with the Native Land Podcast exposes the tension between street perspective and academia, followed by (1:36:35), what Black academics actually gave us. Then (1:40:56) brings Zohran Mamdani’s political rise and how his win sparked new disrespect toward Black men. By (2:06:31), we unpack the global obsession with mimicking Black American struggle, and close around (2:18:14) with the Trump admin’s stance on SNAP benefits and the shifting political landscape.
