Black Thought Brings The Bars For Whoever On “Thought Vs Everybody”
Usually when rappers claim their supremacy in the game, it’s often met with eye rolls and five or 10 names that people think are better. When a hip-hop icon like Black Thought decides to talk his talk, it’s probably best for other emcees to just sit down, shut up and listen to what The Roots’ frontman has to say like he does on a new single titled “Thought Vs Everybody” off his forthcoming album Streams of Thought, Vol. 3: Cain and Abel.

The track is the latest offering off his forthcoming album, featuring the likes of Pusha T, Killer Mike, Portugal. The Man, ScHoolboy Q and more.
Listen to Black Thought’s powerful new record “Thought Vs Everybody” below, and expect Streams of Thought, Vol. 3: Cain and Abel to drop on July 31:
Quotable Lyrics:
Between heaven and Satan, while I’m steady creatin’
And try to separate the truth from the lies that they told us
I even heard the Soviet’s, the 45th POTUS
That ain’t the photo they showed us, or acceptin’ the onus
Did they Washington us? My condolence to y’all diplomas
Here’s a bonus, the point of view to make things see through
If I’m a walking institution, I’m a HBCU
Face the music, keepin’ it moving’s one of the great things we do
Yo, the devil’s tryna to pull together his gang, me too
And whether you come from Lagos or Trinidad and Tobago
You can either stay broke or be wealthy as Jeff Bezos
If you just stay woke, I was in the dark then day broke

Chris Brown Strikes Back: A $500M Legal Battle Against Warner Bros Over Controversial Docuseries
Chris Brown is making headlines with a massive $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and a production company called Ample Entertainment. He says their new docuseries, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” is filled with exaggerations about him. This lawsuit, filed on January 21, places Brown at the center of a hot debate about how the media tells stories about public figures.
The docuseries focuses on his troubled past, featuring controversial moments that have shaped how the public views him. However, Brown’s team claims that it goes beyond just telling facts. They argue that it uses misleading claims that hurt his reputation. His legal team feels that the series paints him negatively, ignoring how he has grown since past incidents.
Throughout his career, he has been a celebrated musician, dancer, and figure surrounded by controversy. As of now, Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have not responded to the lawsuit. However, this case raises important questions about what filmmakers should and shouldn’t do when telling stories about real people. For Brown, this lawsuit is not just about seeking money; it’s about taking control of how his life story is shared.
He feels frustrated with an entertainment industry that, focuses more on drama than the truth. Reactions to his lawsuit have been mixed. Some supporters argue that the media often emphasizes Brown’s wrongdoings while ignoring his creative contributions. Critics, however, see the lawsuit as an effort to avoid facing honest criticism. As this situation unfolds, it’s clear that Chris Brown is not just after $500 million; he’s also fighting for how his life story is perceived. Whether he will win this battle remains uncertain, but it is already creating discussions about the influence of the media.
