Here’s every song featured on the soundtrack of 22 Jump Street. Following his movie debut in A Nightmare On Elm Street, Johnny Depp became a TV star on 21 Jump Street. This 1980s series followed a group of young-looking cops going undercover in various high schools and colleges. When a comic remake was announced with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) starring, few could see the appeal of the idea. That was until the movie arrived and proved to be one of 2012’s best comedies, with Hill and Tatum having great chemistry and the latter displaying previously untapped comic chops.
Co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller and the cast returned for 2014’s 22 Jump Street, which found Schmidt and Jenko going undercover in a college and once again finding their friendship tested. The sequel is considered just as good, if not better, than the first and grossed over $330 million worldwide. The movie’s end credits did such a good job parodying the idea of endless sequels it was tough to see how a third movie could happen until MIB 23 was announced in 2016. This would have been a crossover between the Jump Street series and Men In Black, with James Bobin hired to direct. The movie was ultimately cancelled, however, while Men In Black: International tried - and failed - to resurrect the dormant sci-fi comedy series.
Like they proved with The LEGO Movie, Lord and Miller are quite good when it comes to putting together an appropriate soundtrack for their projects. 22 Jump Street is no different, so here’s every song featured on the movie’s soundtrack.
- Work Hard, Play Hard - Wiz Khalifa NRG (Skrillex, Kill the Noise, Milo & Otis Remix) - Duck Sauce Get Up (Rattle) - Bingo Players, Far East Movement Wasted - Tiësto, Matthew Koma Can’t You See - Shermanology, GRX Models And Bottles - Blind Scuba Divers Check My Steezo - Blind Scuba Divers TTU (Too Turnt Up) - Flosstradamus, Waka Flocka Flame I Own It - Nacey, Angel Haze Express Yourself - Diplo, Nicky Da B Freak - Steve Aoki, Diplo & Deorro feat. Steve Bays 22 Jump Street (Theme) - Angel Haze, Ludacris Live Forever - Travis Barker, Juicy J, Liz
The 22 Jump Street theme by Angel Haze and Ludacris plays over the sequel’s memorable end credits too. The future of the series is currently somewhat unclear, though it appears a female-focused spinoff called 24 Jump Street might be in the works. This movie is set to be directed by Rodney Rothman and possibly star Tiffany Haddish and Zendaya (Spider-Man: Far From Home), though the status of this project is unknown.
The jump to 24 Jump Street is apparently because 23 Jump Street is still being reserved for another adventure with Schmidt and Jenko. Whichever movie ends up coming out first, they’ll have a hard time topping 22 Jump Street’s meta perfection.
