Cinemetropolis is the third full-length album by alternative hip hop group Blue Scholars. The album was released on June 14, 2011, with a pre-release to fans in mid-May.
The album's title Cinemetropolis comes from a term coined by Sergei Eisenstein in his book Film Form. Geologic explained the concept of the album as a mash-up of life and cinema. He says in an interview, "We're all residents of the Cinemetropolis now. If you've ever seen a moving image and it affected you somehow whether it be a music video, the nightly news, a movie, television, sitcoms, whatever... that... all that has become a part of our truth and how we see the world." The album is planned to be released with a series of online music video short films corresponding with songs on the album. The first, "Slick Watts," premiered on May 18 and deals with the controversial relocation of the Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma.
