It is one of the most honest songs about mental health that we have heard from a male or female rapper in quite some time. So what does it matter how many streams or views it got in a day or week or whether or not some other female rapper is sneak dissing Meg behind the admissions she shared?
Setting the mood for the song with these fierce instrumentals, Megan cuts straight to the distress she has felt over the past few years, frankly stating that it often drove her to suicidal thoughts. But as she opens up, she never loses her trademark swagger. She tears down not just those who criticized her, but also those who watched her suffering in silence.

Who saw this coming? Hot on the heels of their new six-song EP, The Fear of Fear, released last week, Spiritbox surprised fans today with what will likely stand as the most unexpected collab of 2023: an official "Rock Remix" of chart-topping rapper Megan Thee Stallion's smash single "Cobra."
The new track finds Spiritbox adding singer Courtney LaPlante's signature powerhouse vocals and guitarist Mike Stringer's crunchy djent riffage to the hit song, flipping it into a Linkin Park-esque rap-metal banger. Crank the remix above via its visualizer video.
"Thank you Megan for allowing us the opportunity to collaborate on your already iconic new song 'Cobra,'" LaPlante commented on Instagram, a post she capped with a heart emoji. "I am beyond grateful to you."
Megan Thee Stallion is perhaps best known for her feature appearance on Cardi B's hit song "WAP" and just released the single "Cobra" last week. The song has already racked up more than 10 million streams between Spotify and YouTube, meaning Spiritbox are riding atop the crest of a pretty significant wave with how quickly this remix arrived.
Megan Thee Stallion's stern delivery, when set against the undulating, down-tuned rhythms of the band actually goes pretty damn hard, not far removed from the jaw-smacking grooves and breakdowns heard in hardcore and deathcore.

As the King Cobra uncoils from a woven basket and flares out its iconic hood, it appears to sway back and forth hypnotically as the snake charmer plays his flute. Timpani solos, a variety of percussion, syncopated rhythms and colorful harmonies are woven together to create an exotic tapestry of sound that will captivate young musicians and their audiences.
The hard-rocking song about becoming a Judas is an extremely good fit for the traitorous character, who blasts it on full volume and sings along to the lyrics. However, as it so often does, "Cobra Kai" adds some seriously dark undercurrents and deeper meanings in this deceptively simple scene. In fact, Stingray's new "theme song" just so happens to mean much more than you'd initially assume.
Sure, having the show's biggest Judas character rocking out to a song called "Judas" is pretty obvious, but there's a twist. The Judas in the song's lyrics is absolutely horrified of what he's done, and hopes to find a way to right his wrongs. This telegraphs Stingray's deep regret for his actions, and his eventual redemption in the season finale. As the chorus of the song goes: "What have I become, now that I've betrayed / Everyone I've ever loved, I pushed them all away / And I have been a slave to the Judas in my mind / Is there something left of me to save in the wreckage of my life." These few lines sum up Stingray's "Cobra Kai" Season 5 arc in an eerily efficient fashion.
Don't think that the song's hidden meanings end there, though. The singer of Fozzy is none other than Chris Jericho, the famed pro wrestler who works with the AEW federation, and uses "Judas" as his entrance theme. This isn't Jericho's first time in the "Cobra Kai" limelight. The man himself has thanked the show for a name drop in Season 3, Episode 6 (via YouTube). Jericho also seems to be in good terms with Martin Kove. The actor has appeared as a guest on Jericho's "This Is Jericho" podcast, and he's also turned up in "AEW Dynamite" as wrestler Dr. Britt Baker's sensei.
The opening theme animation for the Sunbow series had a number of versions, with changes to one line (from "Cobra and Destro", to "Cobra, the enemy"), as well as five different battles between the Joes and Cobra (one for each of the original mini-series, one for each full season, and one for the 1987 movie). The intros of both full seasons start with Duke's voice giving the "Yo Joe!" battlecry while depicting Flint. The second season intro depicts Hawk, Duke, and Flint all in the same H.A.V.O.C.. Pretty big tactical mistake there.
A sixth version was made for DiC Entertainment's initial mini-series Operation: Dragonfire. This version replaced the gender-specific pronouns in the original theme song (changing he to they), referred to the Joes as "international heroes", and omitted specific mentions of Cobra in the theme song, simply mentioning "a ruthless enemy".
Following Operation Dragonfire, the original theme was discarded, and in its place, a new one was composed and written for the DiC series. This was the only theme from the Sunbow/DiC era to not use Jackson Beck's narration.
