There's also an official Spotify playlist that has a subset of these songs: Transformers Rise of the Beats

 

Here we go!

 

Unicron theme woohooooo!

 

A Tribe Called Quest, i fuck with that

 

Was hoping the original Unicron Medley would be in it. Can't imagine Unicron menacingly traveling through space to any other song.

 

Imma cry like a baby when I hear it again in the theater

 

i did when i was at the 07 anniversary screening and i will again and that is okay


the question is why exactly these tracks are being reused..

 

-wu-tang
-tribe called quest
-nas
-diggable planets
holy shit this is actually good

 

TO THE CONSPIRACY BOARD!!!!

Otherwise it seems like there’s gonna be a lot of Rap/Hip-Hop, witch personally I’ve never been a big fan of, but who knows, maybe the infusion of Transformers into the mix might swing my preferences

 

Bruh I listen to it on the regular and I tear up, I fear for what’s gonna happen in the theater. especially since I’ll most likely be with friends/family for at least the first viewing

 

Arrival to earth AND Unicron's theme!? This is shaping up to be a sick-ass soundtrack!

 

…. Arrival to Unicron anyone?

 

HYPED FOR UNICRON TO BE FIRST HOLY SHIT

 

In other words, Optimus's final speech in ROTB will be accompanied by TLK's 'Calling All Autobots', curious

 

>all this rap music

Hopefully some fan rescore will happen. For rest of the soundtrack I'm hyped.

 

If you want to know what scene this is in:

Spoiler

 

it's mostly R&B, not rap, and there will still be scored music made for the movie by Jongnic Bontemps.

 

Y’all really make hating rap and r&b your whole personality lmfaoo

 

Well yes, even jazz is better than rap.
