GettyWhile nowadays Ice Cube is better known for starring in comedies like 21 Jump Street, Fist Fight and Ride Along, he started his career as a rapper.
Being a member of the legendary rap group N.W.A. in the 1980’s, Cube used his lyrics to attack the flawed criminal justice system and protest against police brutality and racial profiling.
While Cube then went on to make three politically charged solo albums, his music became less political later in his career before turning his focus to Hollywood.
Three years ago Cube produced the film Straight Outta Compton which depicted the rise and fall of N.W.A.:
Last releasing solo music back in 2010, eight years later Cube is back rapping and has returned to his political roots slamming US President Donald Trump in his latest track.
The 49-year-old came back with style dropping a new track called Arrest The President, the first single to arrive from his upcoming album Everythang’s Corrupt which will be released December 7.
The message couldn’t be clearer as Cube blasts Trump calling for him to be arrested, stating that the evidence for his crimes is out there.
Give it a listen here:
Criticising Trump for allegedly colluding with Russia to steal the 2016 election and failing to deliver his campaign promise to ‘drain the swamp’, Cube raps:
Arrest the president, you got the evidence, that n**** is Russian intelligence (Okay)
When it rains it pours, did you know the new white was orange?
Let’s meet at the White House. Run in and turn the lights out.
They treat it like a trap house. These motherf***ers never take the trash out.
Of course this isn’t the first time Cube has publicly spoken out against Trump as he has previously criticised the politician on numerous occasions.
In the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election, Cube explicitly told the world what he thought Trump on Twitter.
He simply wrote:
I will never endorse a mothaf*cka like Donald Trump! EVER!!!
I will never endorse a mothafucka like Donald Trump! EVER!!!

Last year during an interview on WABC-AM’s Bernie & Sid Show, Cube said he doesn’t believe Trump does much for black communities adding it isn’t very high on the president’s priority list.
He explained:
What has he done? To me, the last guy [President Barack Obama] tried to do a lot, he had to do a lot to try to mop up the mess that was left…
It took pretty much eight years to try to pull this country out of, and you know, he ran out of time. So that being said, I think Trump took over a White House and a country that was in way better shape.
I don’t think there’s an animosity [with President Trump], but I don’t know how high we are on his list of priorities.
GettyCube is clearly not holding back and it will be interesting to see just how political the rest of his album is.
Cube’s next album Everythang’s Corrupt will be released via Interscope on December 7.
