download ice cube everything is corrupt album Ice Cube :: Everythangs Corrupt. It’s possible in 2019 that more people know O’Shea Jackson as an actor than as a rapper. I don’t have personal knowledge of how Ice Cube thinks, but I’d dare say that doesn’t bother him very much, because he wouldn’t have gone eight years between albums if it did. During that span Mr. Jackson could be seen in both “21” and “22 Jump Street” plus buddy cop comedies “Ride Along” and “Ride Along 2”, while his son could be seen portraying HIM in the based-on-a-true-story motion picture “Straight Outta Compton“. Acting is definitely in the Jackson family’s blood. Lest we forget that Cube cut his teeth creating hip-hop classics in the 1980’s and 1990’s, and continued to score hits throughout the 2000’s, Mr. Jackson is back with “Everythangs Corrupt” to prove there’s no such thing as retirement from hip-hop OR professional wrestling. The timing was initially confusing given the long drought between 2010 and 2018 before this album came out, but as the album’s opening song “Arrest the President” shows, Jackson has plenty of motivation to rap again. There’s little doubt who he’s talking about. “Let’s meet at the White House Run in and turn the lights out Man, they treat it like a traphouse Deez motherf—ers never take the trash out They just cash out and mash out Nigga take your drugs and pass out” It just goes to show that the only thing necessary to bring Ice Cube back to the mic was the most racist, vile and corrupt U.S. President in American history. I’m sure it was only a matter of time before Cube had a full album’s worth of material to release, but having to see POTUS 45 every day on the news undoubtedly sped up the process. Having producers like Shawnski to work with didn’t hurt either. The heavy ivory keys and booming funk of “Arrest the President” harken back to some classic Westside Connection s–t. While Beau James doesn’t bang quite as hard on “Chase Down the Bully”, it’s an equally politically motivated song as Cube vows to hunt down “all you evil forces, with your tiki torches” . Once again the target of his rage isn’t hard to grasp. Cube keeps his album firmly rooted in Cali with the beats, rhymes and the lone guest star Too $hort on “Ain’t Got No Haters”. The song borrows heavily from Delegation’s “Oh Honey” which for some will provoke memories of R&B hits by Total and Puff Daddy, but for me it will always be first and best remember as the backdrop of the seminal Geto Boys classic “Quickie“. DJ Pooh does the song as much as justice as anybody else to loop this smooth track over the years, and $hort’s boisterous bars include lines like “I don’t shop for bargains, f–k a pre-sale” . Word. If there’s one other song on here that’s automatically worth the price of admission besides those already mentioned, it’s lead single “The New Funkadelic” without a doubt. The name is not a coincidence — T-Mix borrows heavily from Funkadelic’s “(Not Just) Knee Deep” and lets Jackson update it for the 21st century with his flow. With so much time having elapsed between audio appearances by O’Shea Jackson, just having damn near 60 minutes of Ice Cube rapping is a treat. Of course just hearing him rap isn’t enough — the music and the lyrics have to be right. Whether it’s Teak Da Beatsmith hitting it hard on “Non Believers” (with an appropriate Flavor Flav sample) and “Can You Dig It?”, T-Mix throwing down on “Good Cop Bad Cop” and Fredwreck getting wreck on the title track, the albums thumps hard 90% of the time. The other 10% would be “Fire Water” and “Don’t Bring Me No Bag”, both of which seem to be going through the motions. It’s also important to note that even though O’Shea is okay when he’s fired up, at other times he seems out of step with the times. “Have you acting strange like the dog with the mange” is not what I’d call a good punchline on the too aptly named “Bad Dope”. On the WHOLE “Everythangs Corrupt” is a very welcome return, but we’re never getting back to the “Death Certificate” era again — this is as good as it gets. Ice Cube Details New Song "Everythang's Corrupt" & Album, Praises Kendrick Lamar. In an illustrious career that spans over two decades and half a dozen facets of the entertainment industry, Ice Cube’s loyalties will also reside in Hip Hop. Ever since breaking mainstream ground with Straight Outta Compton and former group N.W.A., the veteran Los Angeles rapper has been an adamant fixture in challenging the status quo, and the same should hold true for his upcoming album Everythang’s Corrupt . Lead by the title- track, Everythang’s Corrupt will shed light on today’s cultural hypocrisy in a way only Cube could illustrate. Speaking with HipHopDX last week, Ice Cube discussed the approach he took in making Everythang’s Corrupt and why he’s refrained from littering his album with unnecessary features. A gatekeeper of the West Coast scene, Cube also commended Kendrick Lamar’s latest efforts and explained how N.W.A. set the tone for more creative freedom within the industry. HipHopDX: You’re fittingly releasing the record and video “Everythang’s Corrupt” from the new album by the same name on the eve of the 2012 election. It has the tagline in the hook, “For my birthday, buy me a politician.” Was it a conscious decision to open up your new album campaign with this record? Ice Cube: You know, this record is for the political heads. This to me is more a leak at the right time, in time, to drop it. We could have dropped a more catchier tune, but the time wouldn’t have been right. The time is right for “Everythang’s Corrupt,” so that’s what we wanted to do. We wanted to drop it at this point and time, and then come with a visual to highlight what we’re saying in the music. DX: Hearing Rage Against The Machine’s guitarist Tom Morello shredding in the background really brings a raw yet refreshing vibe to the record that I think wouldn’t have been present if it were just simply done on a computer program. With both of you sharing similar identities when it comes to socio-political views, what took so long for you guys to hook up on a track? Ice Cube: It’s just one of those things where we ain’t really cross each other’s path. I’m one of those artists who thinks we have to get a bond before you can really jump in there and do something cool. I haven’t really been into record companies throwing things together, so that’s why things don’t happen. He’s cool so it was only right, and I’m hoping we can do more stuff. DX: With your last album I Am West released in 2010, and looking at some of the other track list titles you have for this album, “One For The Money,” “The Big Show,” “Can I Get Some Of That West Coast Shit,” what else has O’Shea Jackson seen in the last three years that you’re bringing to the table with Everythang’s Corrupt ? Ice Cube: Well you know, I got a song on there called “Dominate The Weak,” which is really what you feel sometimes from being in America. Sometimes it feels like a police state in a lot of ways. I wrote that record when a lot of that whole 99% thing was going on and the crackdowns that were starting to happen. It just kind of made me think of that record. That’s one of those political songs to me that’s vintage Ice Cube. DX: Earlier this year you said the album was a little over halfway done. With the projected scheduled release date for January 2013, who else have you gotten a chance to work with on this new album? Ice Cube: Really, a lot of the producers that I’ve been working with, and I got my sons [OMG and Doughboy] on the record. When I go to do a record, the last thing I’m thinking about is who else I can work on it with. I really think I’m a throwback when it comes to that. I think when you buy an Ice Cube record, that’s what you should get. I don’t really like doing these compilation-type records, I don’t really like hearing them either. That’s what I try to do when I do a record, to make sure it’s my internal thoughts and feelings and really getting a slice of me and not just a bunch of features. DX: Defintely. I think you can say the same thing about a buzzing artist from the West Coast in Kendrick Lamar. It’s clear as a veteran emcee who’s been an integral part of laying down a foundation for Los Angeles rappers, that’s still evident today as well with Kendrick. He’s even named Death Certificate as one of the essential albums he listened to growing up. With that said, how does it feel to see someone like Kendrick successfully maneuvering through the industry in an honest manner? Ice Cube: It’s great, man. It’s great for true artists who are not people who are chasing the charts or worried about who’s on the Billboard [charts]. You can respect an artist like that. We are like painters; you either do it because you love it or you do it ‘cause you’re trying to get rich. I think people can see that, and they reward true talent. When true talent steps on the scene, it should be rewarded, whether it’s deep music that grips your soul or it’s just booty-shaking music. If you’re a true original, you should be recognized and applauded to reap the benefits more than these one-hitter-quitters that you see. Ice Cube Has Fire But Little Finesse on ‘Everythangs Corrupt’ Album. Arriving on the 26th anniversary of Death Certificate —Ice Cube’s greatest and most scathing piece of work as a singular artist, released at the height of the MC’s fury, creativity and relevancy—is the West Coast legend's 10th solo LP. And the while the trappings around Everythangs Corrupt suggest a defiant return to form, the pep has long left O’Shea Jackson’s fastball. Moments of rap brilliance—in which lyrics, beat, subject matter and the hook all hit—are now few and far between, despite his best efforts. Ice Cube is one year shy of 50. He successfully transitioned into a Hollywood star, acting, directing, writing, owning. He’s the face of the BIG3, a 3-on-3 basketball league he co-created and toured with all summer. If he no longer has time or the ability to be in your Top 5, that’s OK. He gave us “Dead Homiez” and “No Vaseline” and “It Was a Good Day.” Hall of Famers aren’t expected to dunk on the next generation. His work here is done. So, it’s with a readiness to cringe and a genuine curiosity that we dig into Cube’s first full-length project in eight years, delayed multiple times due to the family man/businessman’s diversified endeavors. The trademark gothic font, the dark cover art—a bleeding fist clutching a $100 bill—and the Trump-trashing lead salvo, “Arrest the President,” all hint at, just maybe, something resembling a return to form. Although Cube’s intentions and ethics have not wavered, and the wise veteran mercifully doesn’t reach to appease the ears of his children’s generation, his attempts at documenting street ills (“Bad Dope,” “On Them Pills”) feel distanced and thin compared to the urgency and immediacy of what N.W.A’s lead writer penned in his prime. And where there were once stinging one-liners, there are now too many clunkers. When Ice Cube asks, “Who let the dogs out?” without irony, you can’t help but cringe. And he compounds a bad Goldilocks reference with this: “Niggas wanna gorge on all a nigga’s porridge.” One of the issues here is that Cube, as with the bulk of his late-career catalog, serves as his own executive producer. His voice is a powerful weapon, and he still has some ideas worth mining, but he’d be better served under the direction of a producer who could focus his sound, kill a couple bad hooks and weed out the filler. We’re not expecting Dr. Dre or Bomb Squad-level results anymore, but some outside guidance could help. A handful of decent tracks are buried in the back half of Corrupt . “Good Cop, Bad Cop” (albeit a year old) is a wailing, thumping “Fuck tha Police” redux, spiked with great flashes of detail. “Streets Shed Tears,” produced by Magnedo7, is a downtempo positive joint touched with a welcome hook from Shameia Crawford. And longtime collaborator DJ Pooh dusts off a well-worn Delegation sample (1977’s “Oh Honey”) for a West Coast cruise on “Ain’t Got No Haters,” which features fellow OG Too $hort riding shotgun on the record’s only rap cameo. It’s this same familiar-yet-fresh vibe that Suave House beatsmith T-Mix cooks up for “That New Funkadelic”—a “Bop Gun” for the future and one of rare the moments where Ice Cube sounds like he’s having a blast. — Luke Fox.

Well, the battle hardened 49-year-old vet will prove you wrong with Everythang's Corrupt . Yes, three-and-a-half decades into his career, and at the height of the lyrically milquetoast mumble rap era, Cube is spitting bars strong enough to evoke his classics, Death Certificate and AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted . Many of these fresh tracks are as socially conscious and political as those heyday releases. An obvious example is "Arrest the President," on which Cube says Donald Trump treats the White House like a trap house. The veteran rapper gets even better results, however, on the subtler "Fire Water," which finds him spitting about liquor, sugar, salt and other vices that impoverished communities are addled with. While Cube employs plenty of ambitious themes and frequently lays down solid bars, Everything's Corrupt is by no means flawless. A few downright laughable clunkers crop up on songs like "One For the Money," on which he raps: "Can't get nothin' from me / Who I look like, the fuckin' Easter Bunny?" Minor stumbles aside, however, Cube's vigorous delivery puts the album over, along with his willingness to adopt flows you wouldn't expect from an MC so long in the tooth. He brings catchy, chant-like cadences to bear on highlights like "Don't Bring Me No Bag," "On Them Pills," and "Ain't Got No Haters," especially for the a cappella intro of the latter. "Ain't Got No Haters" stands out all the more because Cube uses it to meld past and present, spitting the tight, compact flows of a nimble up-and-comer over a vintage West coast funk instrumental. The best track of all, however, is "That New Funkadelic." Musically, it doesn't fit with the rest of the album's slick, brawny beats. But you won't care as you listen to its splashy, organic retro funk instrumentation (credited to producer T-Mix and featuring Tracy Nelson & Deonis "Pumah" Cook). Cube sounds like he's having a ball with that raw rhythm, rapping at a breathless speed with shameless glee, all of which is refreshingly rare for the typically stone-faced gangsta rapper. While it's not quite a classic like his seminal late '80s to early '90s run, Everythang's Corrupt is a return to form, especially after Cube's rudimentary 2000s releases like Laugh Now, Cry Later and I Am the West . It's heartening to hear an icon with nothing left to prove rap with the hunger of a youngster so far into his career. (Interscope)
