Her RIAA-certified gold record for "Friday" sits in the passenger seat. In the video, the singer, 23, gets into a car race with Dorian Electra while rocking a tight black ensemble and spiky blue jewelry. "You know, sitting on the back of a convertible is not something I do every day, so it feels quite like yesterday, I guess," Black said of the new video, which sees her back in her childhood bedroom and singing in another convertible.īut though she's singing the same lyrics, Black isn't an awkward middle schooler anymore. Black also made a new music video for the remix that calls back to the original. It's this nostalgia that inspired Black to drop a remix of her hit song on Wednesday, exactly 10 years after the original "Friday" was first uploaded. I get so many comments, and it's so surprising to me how many people have such a genuine, nostalgic love for it." "The way that I feel about that song has really changed," she continued. "I've done a lot of work to heal from the more painful parts of what that experience was for me. Though the singer has been open about the bullying, depression and career setbacks she's faced following "Friday," she added that she's noticed a shift in the way people have come to view the song over the past decade.
"My relationship with 'Friday' has taken quite the journey over the past 10 years, which makes sense as I've looked back," Black told USA TODAY. The video, which saw Black bobbing along in the back of a convertible while singing about how much "fun fun fun fun" she was going to have over the weekend, made the teen the target of widespread ridicule.

But the remix, and even the entire album, could be overwhelmed by a few lines that Q spits on the remix: “Gangbanging like we stand for something when Alton Sterling getting killed for nothing / Two cowards in the car, they just there to film / Saying Black Lives Matter, should’ve died with him.” So. And all four of them absolutely come off. It’s the first time all four Black Hippy members have been on a song together since Jay Rock’s “ Vice City” last year.
And today, Q has shared something else: A remix of “ THat Part,” his Kanye West collab, that features fellow Black Hippy members Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, and Ab-Soul. It’s a jarring, ferocious, paranoid G-rap album with the same sort of cohesive, sonically expansive intensity that Q’s friend Kendrick Lamar brings to his own albums. Today, Schoolboy Q releases his long-awaited Blank Face LP album, and it’s good.
