Black Panther Lost Tapes?
With Kendrick Lamar and TDE’s Black Panther soundtrack set to dominate charts for a third consecutive week, some eye-raising news emerges this week. In an interview with Hits Daily Double, Sounwave of TDE revealed that the rough draft of the album featured multiple A-listers.
While he didn’t confirm who those stars were, he cited how Marvel and Disney allowed him and Kenny to be present for the creation process of the film and curate songs for certain scenes within the film. Soundwave said, “When Ryan first approached us, the movie was about 50% done, and he wanted a few records to match specific scenes in the movie. But Kendrick and I instantly were drawn in by the opening scene and the deep message this movie told from two different standpoints.
We were inspired to follow that same formula by keeping the movie’s energy and raw emotions in a modern musical form. We realized that would be hard to do with just a few songs, which is why the soundtrack was born.” While it’s unlike that we’ll get these tracks anytime soon, we’re wondering if Top Dawg is taking into consideration on letting these cuts from the archives surface.
Let us know in the comments what you think.
