“Arrest the President” by Ice Cube
From the album Everythangs Corrupt (2018)
“Arrest the President” by Ice Cube appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2019. It was first released in 2018 on the album Everythangs Corrupt. Its best result is #604 on the KEXP Listeners' Favorite Songs of All Time. In the combined RockLists rankings it is #8,201 indie & aaa song of all time.
"Arrest the President" was Ice Cube's opening move for Everythang's Corrupt, his tenth studio album, put out by Interscope as the lead single in 2018, and it wears its politics right on its sleeve. Donald Trump's name never comes up, but he is the target all the same: the hook demands the president's arrest and was heard as an appeal to Robert Mueller, the lyrics paint the White House as a drug den, and Cube goes after the Russian collusion accusations hanging over the 2016 vote.
It followed Cube saying publicly that Trump wasn't acting on the issues facing Black Americans, and insisting flatly on Twitter that he would never back him. The video hammers the point home with a montage of Trump clips.
