black panther soundtrack Archives

While going back through Kendrick Lamar’s catalog, fans have come to believe the Compton rapper has been dissing Drake for much longer than just a couple of months. In one viral tweet from Tuesday night, a user on Twitter theorized that Lamar dissed Drake on the Black Panther soundtrack for the song, “All the Stars.” They shared a comment from Drake congratulating Lamar for going number one on the charts with his album, Damn. On “All the Stars,” he raps: “F*ck you and all your expectations / I don’t even want your congratulations”

“Can we bring it back to 2018 when Drake congratulated Kendrick for outselling him and Kendrick replied with a verse on the Black Panther album that said ‘Don’t Congratulate Me – I Don’t Like You.’ There was entire hip hop forum discussions about how this verse was for Drake, and I can’t find any of them anymore,” The tweet reads. When another user suggested Lamar has been throwing subliminal shots at Drake for years, they wrote back: “It’s so OBVIOUS, which is why I personally get annoyed when people say the beef is new. It’s been 10 years of jabs back and forth.”

Lamar and Drake have been beefing directly since the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” back in March. On the song, Lamar called out both Drake and J. Cole for mentioning him on “First Person Shooter.” In the time since, Lamar and Drake have dropped several diss tracks aimed at one another.

Rihanna has shared a video from behind-the-scenes of the making of her recent song, “Lift Me Up.” The track is featured on the soundtrack to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The video shows Rihanna showing the song to director Ryan Coogler and composer Ludwig Göransson for the first time.

“You’re making it timeless, you don’t know if it’s past, the future or present,” Göransson says in the clip.

Coogler previously discussed how he landed on asking Rihanna to pick up the task of handling the film’s main song. Speaking with HipHopDX, he said that she seemed perfect for tackling the theme of motherhood.

“It felt right for us because motherhood is a massive theme in this movie,” Coogler said. “And that was kind of timing up for her. In a similar way, when we were finishing the first film, Kendrick was kind of inheriting this crown. What was the chances of us making this movie and Rihanna becoming a mom?”

He also described hearing “Lift Me Up” for the first time as “incredibly moving,” a moment we now have on video.

“When she recorded ‘Lift Me Up,’ which was incredibly moving for me,” he said. “She said ‘I was trying to do this man and his family justice. I was trying to make something worthy of what he gave to us.’ So I take no credit in that. We was all just playing a role.”

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hit theaters back on November 11, 2022.
