Young Guru Defends Black Thought Following Ghostwriting Allegations

    Philadelphia-bred singer Jaguar Wright opened up a massive can of worms on Instagram when she called out Common, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Talib Kweli and more in the wake of Malik B’s death. 

    At one point, the 43-year-old artist suggested Roots frontman Black Thought didn’t write his own raps. Instead, she said Malik and fellow Roots affiliate Dice Raw were behind some of Thought’s greatest work. As the allegations continued to fly, producer Young Guru had enough and decided to come to Thought’s defense.

    Guru wrote in a since-deleted tweet, “Y’all know I don’t get on these internets for nothing. I let a lot of things slide. But what y’all not about to do is question @blackthought’s pen. That’s not about to happen in my lifetime!!!”

    Wright made several damning accusations during her social media diatribe, including a particularly shocking one about Common. She claimed one night after a show, the normally celebrated “conscious” MC attempted to put his penis in her mouth as she slept.

    “The next thing I know I’m waking up in the morning and I feel something poking in my face and shit … I open my mouth and this nigga tried to stick his dick in my mouth while I’m asleep,” she said. “Lonnie fucking Lynn, Rashid, Common — whatever the fuck you want to call yourself. That’s why I stopped fuckin’ with him, because nigga if you gonna try to stick your dick in my mouth while I’m asleep, there ain’t nothing you won’t do.”

    Jaguar Wright Accuses Common Of Past Sexual Assault In Wake Of Malik B's Death

    As Twitter continues to dismantle her nearly hour-long video, Thought is plotting the release of his forthcoming album Streams of Thought Vol. 3: Cane & Abel. The project was initially supposed to arrive on Friday (July 31) but never materialized.

    The veteran Hip Hop artist offered an explanation on Instagram, writing, “I know you all were expecting the album at midnight. My bad y’all. But this delay is for a good reason. Big announcement coming soon. New release date to follow. Love.”

    1. F*ck Jagular Right for her dumb mouth. Someone send her the link to HOT97 freestyle. Oh wait nvm that b*tch wouldn’t understand either.

    2. You can tell her and Malik B. were the outcasts in that Philly crew that blew up all around the same time over the years. They probably have been sitting around getting high all the time passing off this shit back and forth between them about the others in the crew who all blew up and no longer have been fucking with them. I always wondered about her and why she wasn’t on the same path as Badu and Jill Scott, but now you see that she was busy sitting around gossiping about her old friends with a clearly far gone Malik since he killed himself on that dope he couldn’t put down last week.

      1. This is what I’m saying!! Like the headline should be “Clearly upset about Career Jaguar Wright trues to be Relevant AGAIN” lol

        1. It’s sad because of the shit sound like some bitter at high school classmates shit, and it’s been picked up like it’s some revelations. They were fucking groupies. Shocker. Did she think we thought they weren’t like every other group of rappers and musicians in the game because they did that Neo Soul shit?

          And the women co-signing her calling Common a rapist should be ashamed. She said they were together. It was probably disrespectful for him to try that, but imo that’s in the same realm of somebody trying to wake a partner up for sex and they say no He didn’t force her to do nothing, and he wasn’t a stranger. So dudes playing with their girl’s titties or rubbing their pussy when they’re trying to wake them up for sex is sexual assault? People be bugging with some of this shit.

    3. Dice Raw has been writing bars and hooks for the Roots for years. Real 1s know this. It takes nothing away from Black Thought!

    4. I just don’t believe that black thought has a ghost writer. My opinion until proven wrong. Hope yall can strengthen this out.
