All we can do is hope that's not the case this time. "I Am The West" is the only bad album Cube put out in my opinion.

Didn't Cube say there would be unreleased NWA shit from the 2000's on his next release? That would be the cherry.
Some information on this project so far:
Songs:

"I Aint Got No Haters" feat. Too Short Produced by DJ Pooh
-EASKI produced one track on here. I believe it's Pocket Full of Evil. Would make sense with the album cover/title.
-Hallway Productionz produced 4 tracks (Take What We Want, Non-Believers, Respect Your Elders, and Ye Without Sin) and an interlude. 2 made the album.
-We Got Hits Productions have some work on here.

The song called "That New Funkadelic" sounds promising. A return to G-Funk? Hopefully it sounds like Bop Gun or a few other tracks from Lethal Injection.

He performed The New Funkadelic at the 420 concert here in Vegas. Nice single and it did have a Bop Gun/Lethal Injection feel to it
So many fuckin' cry baby haters. Take what you can get or listen to mumble rap and shut up
I'll never say no to a Cube album. And yes I Am The West and Peace were his wackest albums in my opinion but as mentioned there's still some bangers so I'll take it. I'll take a bad Cube/Em/Snoop/Dre over nothing or the current "emcees".
Some of us actually have higher standards than some of you *shock* and won't just listen to tried old half assed efforts by past the artistic prime artists purely because modern rap in itself has fallen so low.
There are other genres, you know?
I want old west not new west. Stop trying to be current man, sounds stupid.shut up with that stuck in past bullcrap. you are never getting old west ever again. the whole west coast has evolved and moved on . so you should or be left behind
As Hank Hill would say "YUP"I want old west not new west. Stop trying to be current man, sounds stupid.shut up with that stuck in past bullcrap. you are never getting old west ever again. the whole west coast has evolved and moved on . so you should or be left behind

I can understand that. I realized many many years ago that were not gettin' the old Ice Cube back. It's not the 90's. That's never gon' happen. Things are different now. As long as he can spit somethin' nice over some dope instrumentals, i'm good with that. If the album turns out to be another "I Am The West" then we got a problem though. These days Cube really only talks about his past accomplishments and how dope is. What would you like him to talk about?
Damn he really needs to link with Dre or some other Legendary producer and give us a classic already!!! hes needs to leave Laylaw or hallway productions beats alone...seems to be his go to guys for the past few albums and its killing his legacy
those spoken word vevo videos are fire!
he need to release an acapella album or something like that!
Damn he really needs to link with Dre or some other Legendary producer and give us a classic already!!! hes needs to leave Laylaw or hallway productions beats alone...seems to be his go to guys for the past few albums and its killing his legacy
wasn’t this initially supposed to be an aftermath release produced by dre?
First 7 songs wack to much bullshit political talk, and south beats and wack lyrics, proper disappointed garbage album

The song with Too Short is dope. It's produced by DJ Pooh. Good to see he and Cube aren't beefin' anymore. Hopefully Pooh could help with "The Last Friday"?

what was their beef
Did this actually come out on Interscope? I don't think Cube spent a lot of money on the beats. I wonder if he tells the producers he works with these days that he wants that particular sound, 'cause the beats on "Tomorrow", "Too West Coast", "Sasquatch", "Only One Me", "Fire Water" etc all have similar sounds.First 7 songs wack to much bullshit political talk, and south beats and wack lyrics, proper disappointed garbage album

Yeah, what the fuck is you talkin' about?

Cube acted like he wrote the first "Friday" when most of it was supposedly written by Pooh. I think Solo talked about it in his new interview with Soren Baker.

Sucks that (mostly young) artists don't invest in proper mastering anymore.
I did a quick background check on dude who mixed and mastered the album (Dave "Dizmix" Lopez) and it looks like he's a seasoned engineer who's worked with Ludacris, Lil Jon, WC, Snoop, Bootsy Collins, Beyoncé, Brandy, Angie Stone + a gang of other R&B artists. Welp, shoulda sticked to engineering instead of mastering.
Ice Cube Talks Alt-Right, Border Wall and Kanye’s Love of Trump
“It was a weak attempt to scare people,” the Everythang’s Corrupt rapper says of the Charlottesville neo-Nazis
By Kory Grow
Rolling Stone
Ice Cube discusses the alt-right, the border wall and Kanye West's love of Donald Trump, as well as his new album, 'Everythang's Corrupt.'
Last year, as people stormed the streets of Charlottesville with tiki torches as a symbol of white pride, Ice Cube didn’t flinch. “It was a weak attempt to scare people,” he says. “It’s just a very weak attempt to make people feel like something was about to happen, or that this movement was out there ready to take over. It just reminded me of some Nazi, Ku Klux Klan stuff, so I wasn’t feeling it. I wanted to take their tiki torches and … you know what with them.”
The ever-outspoken rapper, actor and producer wrote about his contempt for the alt-right on “Chase Down the Bully,” a foot-stomping, funky call to arms on his new album, Everythang’s Corrupt. “I just hate bullies, man,” the 49-year-old says in a tone that lets you know he’s had it. “It’s time for the good people to take over. We’re not running from nothing. Bring it on.” It’s one of many current events he addresses on the long-in-the-works LP, which also includes tracks like “Arrest the President,” “Good Cop, Bad Cop” and, of course, “Everythang’s Corrupt” — a track he released in 2012 with a video that skewered then-presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
“I think people would beg for Mitt Romney right now to be the Republican president over Donald Trump,” Cube says. “If we had to go Republican, I think they would want somebody who’s not so selfish.”
Although the album isn’t entirely political — lead single “That New Funkadelic” is his bid at George Clinton’s throne and “Ain’t Got No Haters” is a reunion with “It Was a Good Day” producer DJ Pooh and his pal Too $hort — Cube doesn’t hold back. And even though a lot has changed in the political climate since he conceived the title, Everythang’s Corrupt, he tells Rolling Stone it resonates even stronger with him today when he thinks about what’s going on in the world at large. “I know there’s controversy on the record, but remember everybody is talked about on the record,” he says. “Nobody’s exempt on the Ice Cube record, ’cause I think we all pencils that need to be sharpened every now and then.”
Why do you think the alt-right feels emboldened to do things like hold marches?
I guess it’s the Internet. When you sit behind your little computer, you can be anything you want to be. But then you realize when you’re just sitting behind a computer spewing venom, you’re a coward. So that starts to eat at you and you feel like, “I got to do something to show that I’m just not a coward in the shadows with these views, but I’m bold enough to step out in front of the public with it.” And these people feel empowered by the tailwinds of the president’s attitude. So they come out and they show they ugly face.
It seems like the media has been paying more attention to the alt-right, too. And maybe they shouldn’t so much because it just gives them a platform.
Well, you can’t ignore cockroaches, you know what I’m saying? [Laughs] You got to do something about it or it’s going to just crawl in the corner and more are going to come out. Now that’s just an analogy, but at the end of the day, when people are totally against what you believe in, there’s no way you can see eye to eye. They want us to go backwards and we’re not going back.
Another thing you addressed in “Chase Down the Bully” is Trump’s border wall. What do you make of that?
It’s dumb. It’s a waste of money. It’s kind of pathetic. It’s sad when you got to put up a fence around your house. Some people feel like they need it, but all you’re really doing is closing yourself off to the world. Walls, all they do is build division. [Pauses]. I don’t think he’s going to get it. He’s running out of time to get that done. A year from now, he’s going to feel like a lame duck.
You went hard on Trump on “Arrest the President,” saying he’s “Russian intelligence” and treats the White House like a trap house. What was the tipping point that made you feel like you had to write that song?
I wrote it after the summer. It just fit the mood and the feel of Everythang’s Corrupt, and [corruption] starts at the top. I’m not saying it wasn’t corruption before President Trump got there, but people are going to jail. People getting indicted. Don’t tell me that it’s a “witch hunt”; that’s just not true. So something ain’t right. And that ain’t me hating. That’s just me observing.
“When you’re just sitting behind a computer spewing venom, you’re a coward.”
Do you think Trump will be locked up?
I don’t think the president is going to jail. I just don’t think the country can stomach that embarrassment. There’s going to be some provision or something nobody knew about that they pull out they ass that says we can’t lock him up. But all these other people getting locked up, and that’s just a shame. The buck stops with the president. And I’m not hating on the man. I just don’t think he’s president material. It’s very embarrassing. He’s violating the country in a lot of ways. Every day it’s something. It’s just every day.
Kanye West sat down with Trump in the Oval Office this year. What would you say to Trump if you had that chance?
I don’t think I would. Why should I do him a favor and tell him what’s wrong? He probably already know. He probably don’t care, so it’s a waste of my time.
What do you make of Kanye’s support of Trump?
It’s a free country. To me, it’s misguided, but it’s a free country. Sometimes you got to let people have their political views. I don’t know if you should measure yourself on being friends or not friends with people who’ve got different political views than you. I think that’s a little childish. Somebody don’t believe the way you believe, he ain’t my friend. Come on. I feel like [with Kanye] It’s misguided support, but to each his own. I ain’t hating on nobody or mad at nobody. I don’t understand it, and I’m not feeling it.
Everybody’s got an uncle they don’t agree with.
You can’t throw him away just because you don’t agree with him. That ain’t cool. That ain’t how it work.
What inspired the song “Bad Dope” on the record?
Just seeing so many people getting on pills and seeing people on all these super hard drugs from crack to meth. I’m like, these drugs are fucking you up, and I’m saying, “Yo, I could compare myself to that and people will understand what I’m talking about,” like I’m a bad drug about to fuck you up. So I approached the song like it was a bad trip, like you got a bad batch of dope and it’s fucking you up and the song sounds fucked up.
Something about that song and the one after it, “On Them Pills,” also got me thinking about what Dave Chappelle said about the opioid epidemic, too. He said the White House is treating opioids differently than the Reagan Administration did with the crack epidemic was because of race.
That’s probably true. I don’t doubt it. We can’t be shocked when white people are treated better than black people in America. We can’t be like, “Oh, what’s this about? Wonder what’s going on behind this? Hmm?” It’s like, come on, y’all. Stop bullshitting. We know why it’s like that. We already know the diagnosis, let’s cure the disease. We know it’s there. And nobody wants to do that part.
“A year from now, [Trump’s] going to feel like a lame duck.”
Even if you think everything is corrupt, you still want to fix it.
Yeah, and the first thing is to recognize your house is dirty, and you’re like, “I better clean up, or I’m gonna be a hoarder.” [Laughs]. I gotta recognize that shit is getting out of hand. It’s just gonna get more out of hand. So hopefully [the record] is shaking people and waking them up, saying, “Hey, hey, hey, this ain’t how it’s supposed to go. Let’s go figure this out.”
Since you’ve been working on this album since at least 2012, how did it change over the years?
I got a lot of records that didn’t make it for whatever reason. Some of them were dated. Some records stood the test of time. It was a process of finding the time and really saying, “Yo, this is my time to work on the record,” and then letting myself become inspired. You got to hold your water a little bit until these concepts and lyrics organically come to you, and then you go to work. So I had to pick up the record and put it down because of Straight Outta Compton, the movie, and because of [the rapper’s basketball organization] the Big3. I didn’t want to cheat the record. At the end of the day, these are the records to me that represents Everythang’s Corrupt. I probably still have great records that I didn’t put on here, but those records don’t represent the concept of the album.
Did you try to challenge yourself or try anything different on this one?
Not really.
No?
I wanted it to be in my wheelhouse. The only thing I did that was very experimental is “That New Funkadelic.” That’s me trying to recreate what Funkadelic was to me. It was experimental, but it was very fun.
How did that come together?
We started the track from scratch. My man, T-Mix, made the music. There’s no samples in there. To me, it’s just a perfect remake of what that was, but up to date for now and talking about the West Coast, because P-Funk went to G-Funk, and that whole marriage is already great and welcomed.
Have you sent it to George Clinton yet?
He loved it. He just sent me a video of him listening to it, going off, talking shit and just loving the song, that we got the DNA. That’s all I wanted to hear. That’s all I needed to hear.
Rap has changed a lot since 2010, when you put out your last album, I Am the West. Did you concern yourself much with what had been going on?
No, because I think that that was the issue with I Am the West: I was trying to be super experimental, and that’s good to a certain extent. On this record, I wasn’t worried about nothing else but Ice Cube fans and to give them exactly what they expect from me. I approached the record with the thought that I’m going to just do records that I know I can do great. It might not be the ones they play on the radio, but it’s the ones my fans are going to love.
Now that the record is out, what are you working on next?
I’m trying to buy 22 regional sports networks. That’s all my head is about. I believe that some of the gatekeepers that’s been holding the reins in sports over us for so long need to go. It’s time for some new blood to produce and present sports and culture, not only to America but the world. It’s time for new people that think in a new and different way have some control over what we see and what we get because the way the [regional sports networks] are being run now is pretty dismal. I think the sports world should hope that we get it.
What do you want to do differently with them?
Just add some life to it. We don’t wanna give away the secret sauce, but we have a plan that’s 10 times better than any plan that’s out there. ‘Cause nobody sees this and the growth potential like us, period. Nobody.
“It’s very embarrassing. I feel like [Trump’s] violating the country in a lot of ways.”
How’s the new Friday movie coming along?
It moves fast and then it slows down for business reasons, but we gonna get there. This is something I’m dedicated to making sure it happens, because the fans want it so much. So as entertainers, it’s your job to at least give the people what they want sometimes.
I read that you had asked Chris Tucker to be in it but you haven’t heard back yet.
Me and Chris, we hit each other all the time. We see each other every now and then. We very cool with each other. It’s still that everybody gotta do what’s right for them in their career. So when it’s time to shoot the movie, I hope he’s ready.
Is DJ Pooh, who co-wrote the original Friday, helping out with this one?
Yeah, he’s helping me write it. We just got the Celebrity Deathmatch show, too, so I’m definitely having him help me with that. He’s a super creative dude. He’s a genius. Just underrated.
He produced “Ain’t Got No Haters” on the new album, too.
With him, we can work through telepathy and it’ll come out dope. He produced “It Was a Good Day.” When we got our heads in the right place, good stuff happens.
This year marked the 30th anniversary of the Straight Outta Compton album. What strikes you about it when you listen to it now?
We listened to it a lot when we were producing the movie, and it holds up. I still don’t like “Something 2 Dance 2”; I still wish that record never saw the light of day. And I wish we would’ve used the original “Dopeman” and not the remix on the record. I still have the same things I would do to make it better than what it is, even though I think it’s a pretty perfect record. So I still love it. The first three tracks … the first four tracks, you just done. You gotta be hooked.
Getting back to Everythang’s Corrupt and how bleak some of it is, where do you find hope these days?
In the spirit of good people. I still think there’s way more good people in the world than bad people. The good people just care if they get in trouble. The bad people don’t. There’s so many good people, we’d be crazy to let these few evil, Omen, Damien kind of geniuses walk around and blow us all up.
Yup. I'm not really sure what people are complaining about. This record is fire and gets better with more spins. Worst song is probably Bad Dope but it's at least a cool concept track that fits in nicely between Don't Bring Me No Bag and On Them Pills. There are so many good songs and it's hard to pick a favorite. Can U Dig It? is good shit, Fire Water hits hard and so does Still In The Kitchen and Chase Down The Bully. I can pop this bitch in and just let it play until the end 8) 8) 8)
if he can make an album fulla joints like the new funkadelic and Streets shed Tears
we got ourselves a classic
I get so sick of people complaining that it's not another AMW or Death Certificate like that in DX review. If that's your standard for new music, your life is going to be very disappointing.
Album is nice, judge it on its own merits.
Also, how are you going to write this line--Cube has proven his staying power is stronger than Gorilla Glue--and talk about Cube having corny bars?

btw the album is bangin .. couldnt have expected anything better tbh. whoever says this is whack must got some fire crack
Well
As much as I carried on like a delusional nincompoop over Everythang's Corrupt I haven't actually listened to it.
I've heard the title track, New Funkadelic, Arrest The President and the spoken word version of Fire Water but it really didn't get much play on social media and I couldn't be bothered listening for a whole hour despite my deranged obsession with the album for the last 6 years. I liked the spoken word in terms of it being spoken word but hearing Cube refer to himself as a cannibal really didn't do it for me.

He only has himself to blame for that. It's almost like the project was cursed from the jump. He shouldn't of even dropped the name of the project if he wasn't going to release it soon after.
No idea on the singles but album -Fuck charts! It's no matters.Album is Good.
Shifted around 14,000 album equivalent units, of which 8,000 were pure album sales.
Debuted at 62 on the Billboard 200 charts, 2nd week the album was out of the BB charts.

That's why he will drop new music. He don't think about selling no more. he have movies and Big 3 for money
I agree this is probably his last album but I don't think he's been deterred by poor sales. Rapping is his most notorious medium - he releases a project here and there for the fans and to remind everyone of his roots. New generations were introduced to him as an actor and probably haven't checked his catalogue, nor can they relate. His target market has grown up and very little of our disposable income is spent on music. Artists don't make money on album sales anymore, it's just the way of the business (Apple Music, downloading etc). The more shows he does, the more sales spikes he will get but ultimately if you're trying to generate revenue these days, then shows and appearances are everything. The album allows you to tour, not much more...
Overall, I think the album is good, there are a lot of cool songs. Chase Down the Bully bangs hardddd
I might have to cop a hard copy of this, album grows on you more with each listen 8)
Well
As much as I carried on like a delusional nincompoop over Everythang's Corrupt I haven't actually listened to it.
I've heard the title track, New Funkadelic, Arrest The President and the spoken word version of Fire Water but it really didn't get much play on social media and I couldn't be bothered listening for a whole hour despite my deranged obsession with the album for the last 6 years. I liked the spoken word in terms of it being spoken word but hearing Cube refer to himself as a cannibal really didn't do it for me.
thats because u don’t really care for the music as much as u care for cubes nuts in yo mouf :banana_dsf:
I'm nuts enough as it is
Don't need Cubes
happy new year

I MEAN METALLICA RELEASED AN ALBUM 2 YEARS AGO AND WENT PLAT OFF THEIR NAME ALONE
ITS ONLY IN HIP-HOP WHERE THE LEGENDS GET NO RESPECT
I WONDER IF 2PAC WAS ALIVE AND MAKING MUSIC, WOULD HE PUT OUT AN ALBUM AND ONLY SELL 8,000 COPIES THE FIRST WEEK? SOUNDS CRAZY, BUT IF CUBE DID, ITS DEFINITELY POSSIBLE.

Do it. Well worth the money. I picked up the CD. Was hoping for vinyl but I don’t believe any copies were pressed. And definitely agree...the more you listen to this the better it gets. I don’t skip ANY songs. Even Bad Dope has grown on me 8)
but in a few years from now there will be no more CDs
Yup. I'm not really sure what people are complaining about. This record is fire and gets better with more spins. Worst song is probably Bad Dope but it's at least a cool concept track that fits in nicely between Don't Bring Me No Bag and On Them Pills. There are so many good songs and it's hard to pick a favorite. Can U Dig It? is good shit, Fire Water hits hard and so does Still In The Kitchen and Chase Down The Bully. I can pop this bitch in and just let it play until the end 8) 8) 8)
people are complaining about who is in charge of mastering the album ruined many good songs. they are already good songs but with a better mastering they would sound more dope.
Well Cube said Everythang's Corrupt, I guess that includes the mix/mastering lol ;D. No but for reals, I got the cd, I've been bumping that shit hard as fuck and it sounds pretty good to me, haven't checked it on headphones or studio monitors tho'.

Man who fired gun near sold-out Ice Cube concert in Del Mar pleads guilty
January 23, 2019
KUSI Newsroom
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – An Escondido man who pulled out a gun and fired two shots in the air when he couldn’t get a ticket to a sold-out Ice Cube concert at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, prompting a sheriff’s deputy to shoot him four times, pleaded guilty Wednesday to discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner.
Daniel Elizarraras, 22, faces three years in prison when he is sentenced March 4. A charge of assault on a peace officer with a semi-automatic weapon was dismissed as part of the plea.
Elizarraras had faced up to 19 years behind bars, said Deputy District Attorney David McNees. The defendant pleaded guilty on the day his preliminary hearing was scheduled to begin.
Prior to the shooting last Sept. 2, fairgrounds officials had determined that the venue was at capacity and turned people away from the horse races and the concert by the rapper Ice Cube.
Fights broke out between security guards and would-be concert-goers who were upset that they weren’t going to be allowed into the show, witnesses said.
Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Eikermann — an 11-year veteran of the department — saw Elizarraras raise a silver-colored firearm and shoot into the air in a large crowd by a ticket booth, prompting the deputy to pull out his Taser, but it was ineffective, authorities said.
Eikermann pulled out his firearm and shot Elizarraras four times when the defendant lower his right hand and pointed his semi-automatic weapon at the deputy, according to prosecutors.
Elizarraras was hit three times in the torso and once in the arm. One bullet is still lodged near the defendant’s spine, McNees said.

its dope to see 2 ogs doin it
just getting around to try and add Bonus tracks that didnt make the CD to my mp3 player, just wondering if there are any others in the time period I might have missed as I remember it was 7-8 years for the album to be released and so many previously released songs didnt make the final tracklist - does anyone knows if these are any other compilation/soundtrack or were just released as singles and forgotten about?
- Sasquach
- Sick Them Youngins on Em
- Crowded
- The Big Show
- Drop Girl
- Damn Homie (never fully released?)
- Come and Get it
- Race Card?
Kanye sad in his new sing: "and i am pulled up in that white O.G. used to wear watch filled with the O'Sheas Jackson if you nasty"
Meaning?
