The Friday (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a limited edition vinyl release, and we've got it available on Complex.
Released in 1995 alongside the Ice Cube-starring comedy that became a cultural phenomenon, the Friday soundtrack captured the essence of mid-90s West Coast hip-hop. The film, which follows a day in the life of Craig (Ice Cube) and Smokey (Chris Tucker) in South Central Los Angeles, became an instant cult classic. Its soundtrack matched that energy, featuring songs that defined an era and helped solidify the movie's place in hip-hop history.
The soundtrack includes Ice Cube's "Friday," Dr. Dre's "Keep Their Heads Ringin'," and contributions from artists like Cypress Hill, Bootsy Collins, and Rick James. These tracks didn't just accompany the film—they became anthems in their own right, with "Keep Their Heads Ringin'" reaching No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming one of Dr. Dre's signature singles.
