It’s been 30 years since Chris Tucker’s Smokey and Ice Cube’s Craig gave us a day in the life in Compton–smoking weed, avoiding Deebo, and trying to repay Big Worm. Of course, Friday still stands as one of the greatest stoner comedies of all time, but to even refer to it as a stoner comedy feels like it undermines its brilliance in the first place.
In the 30 years since the movie’s release, it has left a grand impact alongside its two sequels, Next Friday and Friday After Next. And now, Ice Cube plans to commemorate the anniversary in a major way. Per All Hip Hop, he will be hosting Everyday’s Friday: Lyrics, Loungin’ and Laughing with Mike Epps in Long Beach, CA. The event will be hosted at the Long Beach Amphitheater with additional performances from Scarface and Warren G.
“Friday has always been about and for the fans who made it a classic and kept it alive for nearly 30 years,” Ice Cube said in a statement. “To be able to step back out there with Mike Epps and bring that energy to the stage for a one-night-only experience in Long Beach is special. This show represents the beginning of the next chapter.”
Epps added, “Every day for the last 30 years, someone has told me how much they loved the Friday franchise and how much the characters mean to them. To reunite with Cube and bring this one-night-only experience to the fans is incredible.”
When Does Last Friday Drop?
According to reports, Everyday’s Friday: Lyrics, Loungin’ And Laughing will actually take place on the same day that Last Friday hits theatres. However, there hasn’t been any confirmation from Ice Cube or the studio yet. Nonetheless, the latest update is that Last Friday will be coming out in the future and is now out of development hell. We will keep you posted on any further updates.
