Black Panther: The Album

[Omar 382]

I just gave this a listen to from beginning to end. I'm pretty ambivalent in my feelings towards Kendrick, but let me just say, holy shit- this is one of the best hip-hop albums released within the last 5 years.

If you don't know anything about it, Kendrick Lamar is the curator, and is credited with featuring on 5 of the 14 songs on the album, though he appears in some way or another on pretty much all the others as well I believe. It also has Schoolboy Q, SZA, The Weeknd, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Travis Scott, and others.

There is probably one filler song on this album (Redemption), a couple mediocre songs (Redemption Interlude, I Am), and the rest are all legitimate bangers/fire. I'm not kidding. And don't think I'm dickriding Kendrick either. I liked Damn., but I've been critical of the common view of him as the greatest rapper today. I think he's great, certainly well above average, but he's not the greatest to me (plus his production often is lacking).

Have any other hip-hop fans heard this? Let me know what you think:

I wasn't even planning on seeing the film "Black Panther" until it came out on Amazon for rental, but after hearing this album, I'm trying to see it thus Sunday with my dad.

Haven't heard it.


And I haven't watched an entire comic movie since Heath Ledger was in one.


Wallace being in one is tempting though.

I haven't heard an album in probably 20 years. Actually that's a lie, I did buy my daughter the Adele CD a couple years ago and then got stuck listening to the whole thing. But other than that i haven't listened to a whole album in forever.

I listened to it last week, it was good. Saw the movie over the weekend and the music throughout is solid. They did a really great job incorporating it all together.

I like the theme song from The Pink Panther.

It was just another goofy Marvel Movie.

I bet it will be the first to be nominated for an Oscar

 

[broncosmitty]

Well Omar, you tried.

You must be joking.

 

[GNG]

Well Omar, you tried.

He tried but failed again.

 

[ill]

You must be joking.

I am not joking

 

[broncosmitty]

He tried but failed again.

You fags really did a great job.

 

[GNG]

I am not joking

Of course you are.

 

[GNG]

You fags really did a great job.

Is that politically correct?

 

[black francis]

The Pixies suck

Are you a Kendrick guy?

Lol. I don't mean any disrespect, but you're probably the epitome of the individuals Kendrick Lamar and the hip-hop community hates.

I hate people that feel entitled
Look at me crazy 'cause I ain't invite you
Oh, you important?
You the moral to the story? You endorsin'?
Motherfucker, I don't even like you
