Hip Hop historians and amateur rap researchers may be a little disappointed to hear that Ice Cube didn’t have a particular day in mind when he created the classic 1993 track “It Was A Good Day.”
Ice Cube revealed the news while taking part in an interview promoting his new movie 21 Jump Street.
“You know — it’s a song. It’s a fictional song,” Ice Cube explained to Moviefone. “It’s basically my interpretation of what a great day would be. Do you know what I’m saying? So, you know, it’s a little of this and a little of that. I don’t think you can pinpoint the day…It could have been all of those days.”
While the rapper/actor revealed that it’s quite impossible to pinpoint the exact day featured in the song he did commend those for at least trying, stating that it was a “nice try.”
Earlier this year through a great deal of research a blogger revealed Ice Cube’s “Good Day” to be January 20, 1992. Shortly after another blogger and amateur researcher came forward and shared that November 30, 1988 was the correct day.
Ice Cube revealing that the song is possibly a combination of several days is the closest the rapper has ever gotten to revealing an exact day.

lol what?
Right?? This article sounds like it was taken from The Onion.
this article sucks balls
looks like the writer is sensitive about that song
yeah it sounds like an onion story wolfman, now i wanna cum in your butt and make cum fart cocktails
Everyday is a good day if you make it so.
i thought it wuld be a friday
🙁
no ass its next friday and the friday after next that were good days.
What would you even base the date on besides the Lakers beating the Supersonics?
I believe the way it was calculated was the weather, the Super sonics game, the air date of Yo MTV raps, the release of the actual song, and some other stuff. Basically it had to be after 1988 because of the Yo MTV reference and it had to be before 1993.
it’s not an actual day, he’s just adding concepts into a song and made a theme for a song and tittle thats it.
Why is this researcher/writer acting all corny
the white boy who thought he found the day was sooooooooo corny.
what in the world is this about? why would you try to take a fictional song that just symbolizes a concept, and make it reality? nd why is this a story?
because it’s funny.
HAHAHAHA
CONTESSA BREWER IS A BITCH
I think this should be relatively easy to figure out. We just need to ask Goodyear on what day they had “Icecube’s a pimp” written on the blimp.
funniest comment I’ve read all day
lol
HILLFREAKINLARIOUS!!!!!!
The day Cube got his first Hollywood check was a good day.
THE DAY I CAME ON YOUR MOM’S BACK WAS A GOOD DAY TOO…DONT FORGET THAT ONE.
LOL I love you Ice Cube, you are right, every day is a good day 😀 ~R~
This is just about the lamest story of all time. Like others have said, it sounds like an Onion parody.
I knew Cube would say this
wtf is this articlae about? why was it written?
there were some blogs where they go through all the things Ice Cube mentions, like basketball games etc to figure out which day was the good day
THE DAY WAYNE HEARD DRAKES MUSIC IN HOUSTON WAS A GREAT DAY
lol you are such a gay
lol ‘a’ gay. the ‘a’ just makes it funny
IT WAS A GREAT DAY CUBE

Really? Is this news? this is a joke right? good one DX. you cant be serious. I guess Yall are pretty bored over there. Everyone knows that this is just a classic fictional song with a deep meaning. Right?
they already posted an article when some wigger skater thought he figured out the day,
the least they could do is put out the correct info from cube himself
umm I remember the song and video well and it looked like the same day to me.how the fuck is it a few days?shit is stupid
