In June 2017, Ice Cube dropped **“Good Cop, Bad Cop”**, a scathing protest anthem included in the *Death Certificate* 25th-anniversary edition and his 2018 album *Everythang’s Corrupt*. This track flips N.W.A.’s classic “Fuck tha Police” hook into a modern-day critique of systemic law enforcement abuse.
With compelling visuals and cutting lyrics, the song calls out the duality in policing—those who serve and protect vs. those who abuse that power. It resonated deeply with listeners and elevated Cube’s voice in the ongoing conversation on police brutality.
Critics and fans praised its timely impact. Reddit users on r/hiphopheads said:
> “Lot of its political, as to be expected from an album called Everythang’s Corrupt, and he isn’t saying anything that hasn’t already been said.”
“Good Cop, Bad Cop” reaffirms Ice Cube’s reputation as more than a rapper—it confirms him as a relentless truth-teller who uses music to shine a spotlight on social injustice.
