Friday (soundtrack)


Friday is the soundtrack album for the 1995 comedy film, Friday. It was released on April 11, 1995, on CD and cassette through Priority and consisted of hip Hop and R&B music. The soundtrack reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, where it held the position for 2 weeks, and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for 6 weeks. It also spawned the successful Dr. Dre single "Keep Their Heads Ringin'", which made it to No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. The album was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA on June 4, 1996. Music videos were shot for "Friday" and "Keep Their Heads Ringin'".
The title track sparked a beef with the hip-hop group Cypress Hill, who claimed that Ice Cube had asked for permission to use their track Throw Your Set in the Air and had made a very similar track after being denied permission.
