Everythangs Corrupt

Released in 2018 after an eight-year hiatus from studio albums, Everythangs Corrupt serves as Ice Cube's tenth solo effort and a definitive statement on the political climate of the late 2010s. The album marks a return to the sociopolitical fire that defined his early solo career, specifically echoing the themes found on Death Certificate. Musically, it is a quintessential West Coast affair, blending the heavy funk influences of his Lench Mob days with modern, crisp production. The record features a mix of high-energy protest tracks like 'Arrest the President' and 'Good Cop, Bad Cop' alongside club-leaning funk experiments like 'That New Funkadelic.' Critics noted that while the album doesn't reinvent Cube's wheel, it reinforces his position as a master of the 'angry elder statesman' archetype. It stands as a late-career highlight that successfully bridges the gap between his legacy as a N.W.A pioneer and his modern status as a media mogul.
