Chin Check is a single by N.W.A. from the Next Friday soundtrack. The song was also released on The Best of N.W.A. - The Strength of Street Knowledge and as a bonus track on the N.W.A Greatest Hits album. Snoop Dogg is featured in the song in place of the deceased and former member Eazy-E.

The song is perhaps remembered for perhaps being a "reunion song" for N.W.A, being that it was their first song they performed together for the first time since their split. It is also remembered for Ice Cube's pay of respect to his deceased bandmate, a verse where each member sings the lyric "Why the fuck not", and the disturbing introduction of the song that features a woman dialing 911 for help because four men have broken into her house- only to be violently shot (which is emphasized by what sounds like a shotgun blast).
