Did you get a chance to listen to Ice Cube's album? I'm really liking it but I have a bias as I love his pronunciation

Finally listened to it yesterday afternoon.

It's a competent album with some good production and unusual beats. On first listen, the 'Everythangs corrupt' title track is the strongest and I enjoyed 'Can you dig it?' and the nod to The Warriors at the end in particular. As ever, Ice Cube flows easily and is a different class to the majority of modern impersonators. Critique would be the lack of a standout track; maybe it's too far in his career, but I'd really love another 'No vaseline' type of polemic. The album was also a tad long for me at 16 tracks, I'd prefer tighter selection and strip it back to 10-11. Great ending to the album though, doesn't fade to filler.
