#166 - Dope (2015)

The Tracklist is back, and this week we're diving deep into one of the most criminally underrated soundtracks of the 2010s — the Dope (2015) tracklist. Director Rick Famuyiwa's coming-of-age crime-comedy was a love letter to '90s hip-hop culture, and its soundtrack matched that energy beat for beat. We break down how the music shapes Malcolm's world in Inglewood, why the blend of old-school nostalgia and fresh production was such a bold creative choice, and which tracks absolutely go stupid hard even a decade later. From Vince Staples to A$AP Rocky to Pharrell's fingerprints all over the project - this one's got layers. Whether you've seen the film ten times or you're just here for the music, this episode has something for you. Put on some headphones. Press play.
