Confession: I haven’t listened to Ice Cube’s latest album (which is a less egregious thing for a rap fan to say in 2019 than it was 25 years ago.) But this joint right here is funky. Taken from his aforementioned LP, Everythang’s Corrupt, Cube teams up with director Alan Del Rio Ortiz to give his Too $hort-assisted, DJ Pooh-produced “Ain’t Got No Haters” a visual makeover. Cube and Short Dog’s chemistry makes it a fun, feel-good affair, but this one really deserved a mid-summer cookout in the Cali sun.
Now excuse me as I go listen to Everythang’s Corrupt.
