The new movie "Black Panther" has a new soundtrack album on which rapper Kendrick Lamar plays a prominent role. His album "DAMN." was our rock critic Ken Tucker's No. 1 album of 2017. Here's Ken's review of the "Black Panther" soundtrack. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "PRAY FOR ME") THE WEEKND: (Singing) I'm always ready for a war again, go down that road again. It's all the same. I'm always ready to take a life again. You know I'll ride again. It's all the same. Tell me who's going to save me from myself when this life is all I know. Tell me who's going to save me from this hell. Without you, I'm all alone. Who going to pray for me? KEN TUCKER, BYLINE: That song, "Pray For Me," is a collaboration between Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd. That's The Weeknd supplying the vocal you just heard. It's the most conventional movie music on this soundtrack album - a big, dramatic ballad to set the mood. Compare
