About

“Black Panther: The Album – Music from and Inspired By (alternatively Black Panther: The Album) is the soundtrack album for the Marvel Studios film Black Panther. It was curated by Kendrick Lamar, and features a variety of collaborators, including many of Lamar's fellow artists signed to Top Dawg Entertainment…

…The soundtrack debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 154,000 equivalent album units (of that sum, 52,000 came from pure album sales). The album remained on the number one spot in its second week, selling 131,000 equivalent album units (of that sum, 40,000 were pure album sales).” – Wiki

“Lamar’s omnipresence on Black Panther: The Album might be its most compelling feature. He ambles in and out of songs like a hype-man or an over-attentive party host, moving conversations in fruitful directions, topping off drinks, leading or reigniting metaphorical conga lines; it’s a sly extension of what he was getting up to in the margins of 2016’s demo collection untitled unmastered. One moment he adopts a preacher’s cadence; the next he’s juicing a chorus for his collaborators or intoning bits of Black Panther dialogue or locking into the mantra-like repetition of one phrase or another.” – Spin
