Friday (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) 1995 Album

Various Artists

The best on this are truly great songs and it doesn't get a lot better than the opening two tracks. They are among my favourite hip hop songs to be created. Some will love the throwback songs as well like Rick James' 'Mary Jane' or 'I Wanna Get Next to You' more than me too. Best Tracks: Friday, Keep Their Heads Ringin', Blast If I Have To 1. Friday 100 With 'Higher' this is one of Cube's best non-album tracks. 2. Keep Their Heads Ringin' 100 Another example of how great Dre's songs were.It's only missing a Cube verse. 3. Friday Night 60 Decent from Scarface and CJ Mac, who didn't release enough music. It lacks the energy and interesting production of the first two songs. 4. Lettin' Niggas Know 62 Kind of similar to the above in terms of quality with slightly more funk making it slightly better. 5. Roll It Up, Light It Up, Smoke It Up 70 Decent catchy hook from Cypress HIll. More funk again. 6. Take a Hit 68 Another decent hip hop song with Mack 10 riding it in his usual style. 7. Tryin' to See Another Day 70 Decently rolls along until the guitar kicks in about 4/5th of the way through. 8. You Got Me Wide Open 60 A laid-back vibey track that never gets too interesting. 9. Mary Jane 70 Rick James' well known track that has been sampled lots in hip hop. 10. I Wanna Get Next to You 75 Classic '70s soul. 11. Superhoes 67 Seems influenced by Andrew Dice Clay's comedy including suggestive lyrics about cartoon heroes and nursery rhyme characters. Enjoyable production. 12. Coast II Coast 75 Bangin' but the skit in the middle of the song hurts it. 13. Blast If I Have To 85 The underrated E-A-Ski gives us the most G-song here. Fire. 14. Hoochie Mama 60 It's 2 Live Crew, so you know what to expect. High-energy sexually charged music. 15. I Heard It Through the Grapevine 55 Roger Troutman give us his version of the song through the talk-box.
