Will this introduce hip hop into the movie?


'Usually' with black protagonist movies they like to show off hip hop or rap in them. Wonder if this will have that here.

There'll probably be Snoop Dogg fish smoking seaweed and rapping.

Yet it's never a problem when a "white" movie has a soundtrack primarily featuring the same 70's/80's dad rock and/or 2000's soft rock songs.

I dunno, it hits different with those old tracks and I don't think they're as prevalent for the purpose of just having a particular race in it. Maybe not in all instances but go watch a nearly all black cast or black protagonist and tell me one that doesn't have hip hop/rap in it.

Spiderverse, Black Panther, Creed to name a few.

I expect this movie to be full of big fat asses clapping.

Creed walks out to Tupac playing. So there's that

I have a mental image of what “Part of your World” would sound like in R&B. I kind of like it.

Yes it did, with Awkwafina...

Yes it has a terrible rap song and some of the mermaids sag their pants in it.
