Ice Cube recently appeared on SiriusXM’s Flavor of the Week hosted by Flavor Flav. During the interview, Ice Cube shared that he is working on another Friday movie and revealed his favorite record he made.

When the Public Enemy hypeman asked Cube about the new Friday flick, the movie producer/director said, “Yep. We finally got, we finally, you know, got some traction with Warner Brothers. They have new leadership. My man, Mike DeLuca, who used to be at New Line when I first started, when I first did the first “Friday” and “Players Club” and “All About the Benjamins.” You know, Mike DeLuca was there, so now he’s running Warner Brothers and he’s like, you know, him and my man Michael Gruber. It was like, “Yo, what the fuck is going on with Friday? Man, let’s get this back online,” and, you know, I was a little hot ’cause they had took so long because, you know, John Witherspoon passed away. Tiny passed away. A.J. Johnson passed away, so I’m like, “Man, we keep losing people and y’all keep dicking around not doing the movie the way it need to be done.” They want to do it, but the key is it gotta be done, Flav or we shouldn’t fuck with it, you know?”

Today In Hip Hop History: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for ‘Friday’ Dropped 28 Years Ago

On this day in Hip Hop history, the cult classic comedy Friday soundtrack was released by 550 Music and Epic Records. The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, where it stood for two weeks, and #1 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop chart, where it stood for six weeks. The album was just as commercially successful as the film and was certified double platinum only two months later.

During the 90s, it seemed that every soundtrack was a hit and the Friday soundtrack followed suit. With tracks from Ice Cube, Scarface, Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, and 2 Live Crew, the album stacked up to be an amazing compilation of original tracks and poppin’ radio singles. At the same time, the addition of a few throwbacks from The Isley Brothers, Bootsy Collins, and Rick James gave the album surprising depth and a sense of nostalgia. Dr. Dre’s original single for the film, “Keep Their Head Ringing,” was able to see great success due to this soundtrack. It ranked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. It was certified gold by the RIAA in May 1995.

Ice Cube has spoken publicly about gaining control of the Friday franchise, but has recently taken a softer approach to getting the rights back from Warner Brothers, but the co-founding member of N.W.A. says that he’s not willing to take them to court to get it.

The music and movie mogul spoke to TMZ about making a movie called Saturday, which sparked the conversation about the intellectual property of Friday.
