The first time I heard this I was young, heading home from visiting my Dad in the hospital, slowly dying of cancer. All the worry and pain and long drawn out sadness was weighing heavy on me. The roads were quiet, the sun was setting and the rooftops looked pretty, this song came on the radio and for one moment I took a breath and appreciated the beauty of that singular moment. Just for a moment I could have a good day.

So when, exactly, did Ice Cube have his Good Day? Lets find out: CLUE 1: “went to short dogs house, they was watching Yo MTV RAPS.” Yo MTV RAPS first aired: Aug 6th 1988 CLUE 2: Ice Cubes single “today was a good day” released on: Feb 23 1993 CLUE 3: ”The Lakers beat the Super Sonics” Dates between Yo MTV Raps air date (AUGUST 6, 1988) and the release of the single (FEBRUARY 23 1993) where the Lakers beat the Super Sonics: Nov 11, 1988: 114-103 Nov 30, 1988: 110-106 Apr 4, 1989: 115-97 Apr 23, 1989: 121-117 Jan 17, 1990: 100-90 Feb 28, 1990: 112-107 Mar 25, 1990: 116-94 Apr 17, 1990: 102-101 Jan 18, 1991: 105-96 Mar 24, 1991: 113-96 Apr 21, 1991: 103-100 Jan 20, 1992: 116-110 CLUE 4: Dates of those Laker wins over SuperSonics where it was a clear day with no Smog: Nov 30, 1988 Apr 4, 1989 Jan 18, 1991 Jan 20, 1992 CLUE 5: “Got a beep from Kim, and she can **** all night.” Beepers weren’t adopted by mobile phone companies until the 1990s. Dates left where mobile beepers were availible to public: Jan 18, 1991 Jan 20, 1992 CLUE 6: Ice Cube starred in the film “Boyz in the hood” that released late Summer of 1991, but was being filmed from mid-late 1990 to early 1991. Ice Cube was busy on set filming the movie Jan 18, 1991. Too busy to be lounging around the streets with no plans. Ladies and Gentlemen, The ONLY day where: Yo MTV Raps was on air, It was a clear and smogless day, Beepers were commercially sold, The Lakers beat the SuperSonics, and Ice Cube had no events to attend was… JANUARY 20, 1992 'National Good Day Day' 😂😂😂
Remember when you could wake up not having to worry about anything? You just got to sit down and do whatever made you happy? Whether it was playing your favorite game, hanging around with friends. Those were the good days.
Man we can do tant worrying shit whenever we want, but some of us have plans and goals. Everyday you're not in a coffin is a good day to me. Sometimes despite working like hell we still have the ability to have a day with no concerns or obligations to others, then I feel like a song this good fits perfectly. As a kid I had more worried than as an adult ironically. I digress, today was a good day.
Right. The DJ was mixing it at the Snoop Dogg concert a few days ago in Vancouver, and I lost it. Hope Ice Cube comes to Vancouver, Abbotsford, or somewhere in Washington. 50C is coming to Van. Next off the checklist would be him, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Eminem.
First, this song is the true definition of a classic. Minimum top ten hip hop tracks ever, but in my top five of all time. Don’t think many would argue about it being in the conversation of best hip hop tracks in history. Did anyone honestly know what Cube meant by “backdoor Lil Joe” without hitting up google? I’ve been a die hard hip hop fan for 30+ years and never heard it in anyway before or this song dropped. I’ve listened to this song countless times and never knew what “backdoor little Joe” meant. And for whatever reason I never googled it til today. Cube is a fucking legend.
This came out when I was in 6th grade. My mom really liked Ice Cube too. I remember being so embarrassed when she picked me up from school playing this song.
Cube is the best writer Rap music has ever seen, and will ever see. He's not my favorite #1 rapper of all time, but he's clearly the most genius writer of lyrics in the game. There is no equal.
I beg to differ, you can get away with so much less lyric focus in mumble rap because it's harder to hear. I heard a song like that the other day, and when I saw the lyrics I just thought to myself that this is the opposite of lyrical genius.
Am I the only one who automatically starts rapping it when it plays? Literally every time it comes on I’m nodding my head rapping it every time this is one of the hardest songs for me not to rap to
Aaahhhh the 90s.....when gangsta rap was rap...cabrini green in mid west....then ya had Compton in cali.....where REAL....and GOOD rap came from...and also can't forget g.i. where I was raised...Gary indiana...cca,m.c.g.z man....some of the best rap to this very day.....I love this style of rap...it takes me back to when I did what I had to do but it made me who I am today.
Bro, Ice Cube was a Genius Sampling that Beautiful, Emotional, Relaxing Guitar, and made it better with his Beats... And props to Isley Brothers for Originating that Sound, BEST BEAT Sample EVER😁👏❤️💯
Ice Cube is my favorite rap artist. Every song of his makes a good a theme for something, whether it's a movie, video game, or an athlete coming out to his music.
I fell in love with Electro music in the early 80’s became a graffiti artist and lived the dream….fell out of love with Hip Hop when “Gangsta Rap” started and fell in love with the rave scene….I listen to these old skool Gangsta rap tunes now that I thought were too hard back then and realise just how good they were and how wrong I was….with love from the UK

There are rappers and then there's Ice Cube. The best. Not even close.
The more I listen to this song, the more I love it and respect Ice Cube.

The OG STUFF MY MAN
Him and lil Joe were probably teamed up and ice cube was rolling 7/11 so much that even lil Joe lost some money
30 years ago...in my 18s. Tough life back there in Romania. Every word in this song represents me and a lot of my "90s friends.
Whos here in 2024?
I don't know but today seems kind odd😂

This came out when I was in 6th grade. My mom really liked Ice Cube too. I remember being so embarrassed when she picked me up from school playing this song.
LoL why?
Got a lot of respect for ice cube
It crazy how it was such a good day for ice cube that it felt weird for him to finally feel a regular day without drama

I'm 40 years old and didn't realize that 30 years ago, we were in the Golden Age of Rap.
Rap hit it's peak with Gangsta Rap.
You know I'm right.
The raw versions of rap was better than the albums of that era
