Ice Cube, meanwhile, gave the world the middling Da Lench Mob and WC, who is at least the greatest rapper alive named after a toilet. His fellow former NWA man has had sizeable hands in the success of Eminem, the Game, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent (who pops up on Everythangs Corrupt alongside, um, Redfoo from LMFAO) and Snoop Dogg. In terms of bringing talent through in the time-honoured hip-hop way, he is certainly no Dr Dre. Even then, one could argue that Cube has only actually made five good films ( Boyz N the Hood, Trespass, Three Kings, 21 and 22 Jump Street, since you asked) out of nearly 40 since 1991. It is, of course, a lot happier to see him act, particularly in broad comedies that are either fuzzily family-friendly ( Are We There Yet?, Barbershop) or coarse and ribald (Friday, Fist Fight). The 21st century just doesnвЂ™t seem to want to hear Ice Cube rap. It is not a great sign that the albumвЂ™s release has been constantly pushed back for more than three years. It is hard to see new album Everythangs Corrupt ending that streak, with no superstar producers (anyone for Big Von? Magnedo7? Nope, us neither) and a performance akin to that of its 2010 predecessor I Am the West вЂ“ No 22 on the Billboard chart вЂ“ seeming more likely. He has, to paraphrase Jay-ZвЂ™s Takeover, gone from a вЂњone hot album every year averageвЂќ, to a вЂњno hot albums for 25 yearsвЂќ losing streak. O nce upon a time, it would have been a case of, вЂњOh! Ice Cube has a new album coming out!вЂќ Now, itвЂ™s more a case of, вЂњOh, Ice Cube has a new album coming out?вЂќ Because, really, the days of OвЂ™Shea Jackson Sr as a vital and vibrant recording artist basically ended with 1993вЂ™s Lethal Injection, following the classic triptych AmeriKKKaвЂ™s Most Wanted (1990), Death Certificate (1991) and The Predator (1992).
