1. TherealActivist TaskMiNahFiPractice "As a Jamaican, I love the song choice... especially therendition of Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry.." ** 2. Tadhg Holmes "Excellent song choice! A reminder of how life goes on despite a sorrowful loss. RIP Chadwick Boseman.
selection alone is enough to make this trailer truly stand out"
"That transition to Alright is ridiculous. That first time Kendrick popped up in the music I was like 'surely not,' then rewinded and heard it again, straight goosebumps."

"1:50-1:54 “do you hear me do you feel me” every second another beautiful sister. I like how they did that
Lovely soundtrack from Tems (Nigeria to the world) and Kendrick Lamar."
RIP MA BROTHER CHADWICK
WAKANDA FORVER 🙅🏿♂️" ** 14. M. Worthy "I'd always hoped that Danai Gurira ("Okoye") would have whispered into the ears of Ludwig Göransson and Ryan Coogler to get them to slip several iconic Thomas Mapfumo , Chimurenga, Shona/mbira type sounds into these MCU/Black Panther movie soundscapes 🎶. Africa is a enormous continent, but what a surprise it would be to hear traditional mbira/Thomas Mapfumo/Chimurenga classic sounds in these movies.

“ …..good friends we had, good friends we lost….along the

Yes, we did. Yes, I have.
My 🙏 go to CHADWICK BOSEMAN, the man and myth…that could and did, unify the world — for a moment in time."
The Black Panther is dead…LONG LIVE!
THE BLACK PANTHER..!!
!!! WAKANDA FOREVER !!!!” ** 23. TJ Blaidd "They need to quit making less beautiful remixes of original songs. That would have his SO MUCH HARDER with Marley's voice! Just pay his family and use the real song instead of a breath heavy remix like every other bad movie.
RIP Chadwick. Let's hope they honor his memory."
** 24. Keshawn Whyte "Tems really put her soul into those words, no disrespect to the late Robert nesta Marley."

Wizkid's essence and I'm so happy that she's not stopping.
Didn't recognize her voice in the

Of course, the legacy both Bob Marley
and Chadwick leave behind is legion.
Thank you Marvel 😭😭😭😭😭"

17. AzureSteel
"Will there be a "theatrical"
version of this song like the one we heard in the trailer? I prefer the
instrumentation in that one because the percussions in that version makes the
song more tribal, more grand and overall more suited to being a tribute for T'Challa."

Kendrick's actual song "Alright". So there may not be a

"Several Jamaicans have done their own
versions over the years. Marley's wanted a different and African version and
Tems so happened to be a biggest female artist
in Africa at the moment. So, it's just right to do it that way. The
Album itself was a tribute by Bob Marley to Africa."

far as the person is of afro descent dont think there is a problem and u do
know this is a movie showcasing sub saharan African culture so it makes sense
that the album should have an african artiste"

"So use Bob Marley's song covered, and
instead of just asking to use the actual song, and the fact that I don't know,
uh, hmm, you're profiting and killing off a character that just got thrown into
the MCU."

27. Krysii Rowe
"Is Bob Marley credited for this song?
Also it’s “No Woman, no cry”. As in “No woman,don’t cry “. As a Jamaican
without the comma it changes the whole sentence lol. Now to me it’s sounds like
“women don’t cry” or “no women cried” = In patois “no woman neva cry( no woman
cried) or “woman nuh fi cry(women don’t cry )”.
It’s suppose to be conciliatory.
But that’s just me thinking into it.
It’s still similar."

"@JON QUEEN INFO seeing as it’s a Jamaican song and I’m a
Jamaican who was raised on said song I would say it matters to me. If it does
not to you that’s fine. But I’m giving my opinion on MY culture. So it matters
to me.
Glad to know Bob Marley was credited
because I haven’t seen anything crediting him in the film or in the video of
tems singing. The title didn’t say anything about a cover. And some people on
TikTok seem to think it’s an original song. If you look in the description of
this video you’ll see that the only artist mentioned is Tems as well as Marvel.
There is no mention of Bob Marley"

"@JON QUEEN INFO I’m sure if it was another native language
and the native of that country commented on the grammar used you wouldn’t ask
if it matters. It’s common sense. And if you payed attention you’d see I’m not
bashing the producers nor the artist. What I’m doing is speaking more about my
native tongue and giving a bit of insight to non-Caribbean’s. I don’t see
what’s wrong with that."

"Word" is a 1980s African American Vernacular English expressions which means "That's right"/ "I agree with what you just said." "Word" was originally given as "Word to the mother" and/or "Word Up". All of these expressions are seldom used since sometimes around the late 1990s.
