Friday After Next

Another Ice Cube ode to laziness, pot smoking and other negative African-American stereotypes, this time set to a jingle-bell beat.

Decidedly less compassionate a portrait of community than Ice Cube’s wonderful Barbershop,
Friday After Next is for those who think nothing’s funnier than calling just about every woman who appears on screen a “ho.
