Kendrick Lamar took portions of his "New Freezer" verse and made a whole new and better song with Travis Scott titled "Big Shot" for this Black Panther soundtrack....amazing.

It's not just the soundtrack. The movie itself is close to a near-perfect score on review aggregation platform Rotten Tomatoes. Critics and Hollywood insider's who got to see the movie earlier cannot stop praising the work of Ryan Coogler.

Black Panther was hailed by the Daily Beast as "a love letter to every black person" and "a correction for years of diversity neglect" by Rolling Stone.

The New York Times said the film "creates wonder with great flair and feeling" while having a story that "has far more going for it than branding."

Entertainment Weekly said the movie's "nuanced celebration of pride and identity and personal responsibility" was the movie's "own true superpower."

IndieWire called it "the best Marvel movie so far, by far."

Starring Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B Jordan and others, Black Panther is set to release on February 16, 2018
