Who hasn't mentioned or heard about the hype surrounding the movie Black Panther these past weeks? Massive campaign and story for the movie taking place in the fictive place called Wakanda, where we see a portrayed picture of afrofuturism: the sci-fi concept about a tech-savvy future for the African continent.
And since this is portrayed in a movie called Black Panther, it makes my mind wander to Tupac and his mother, who was a member of the Black Panther movement. It was a radical movement to claim justice for the minority of afro-american in America. Tupac's legacy orbits this subject. Hence we're featuring Tupac this week. Also celebrating this week: Kendrick Lamar and his label mates and more, who has created the soundtrack for the Black Panther movie that was released.
