Tumblr User ‘Decodes’ The Exact Time Ice Cube Had A “Good Day”, And It’s Pretty Impressive

ADVERTISEMENT

The internet is full of detectives, from websleuths that work on real-life crimes and missing person cases, to redditors that explain some of the weirdest finds that people come across. It’s no wonder that people invest their time and energy into the strangest tasks online, like figuring out which day American rapper Ice Cube was talking about in his hit single “It Was a Good Day”. Many theories from Donovan Strain to random bloggers online sprouted up, speculating the exact date. “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.” the rapper clarified. Even though Ice Cube himself said that the day is completely fictional and he wasn’t singing about a particular time in his life, the arguments that people presented were pretty amazing! Scroll down to read them below and don’t forget to tell us what you think! (Facebook cover image: Eva Rinaldi)

    Ice Cube’s hit single “It Was A Good Day” came out back in 1993, describing the rapper’s day

    Though people online weren’t happy with just the description and decided to figure out which day exactly Ice Cube meant

    The theory suggests that Ice Cube’s good day was January 20, 1993

    Although the first take was solid, someone found some major mistakes in it and quickly presented his own arguments

    After someone pointed out one mistake, the author of the post stood by his words

    Really, some people have too much time on their hands. But it is fun trying to figure something like this out, better than some other ideas people come with to kill their boredom.

    whoa...read through the whole thing thinking "why doesn't someone just ask Ice Cube...but apparently they did. interesting read--things like this intrigue me, but i don't have the patience to do all that work to try & figure it out. reminds me of math in school: Train A pulls out of the San Diego station at 3:17 pm, going 60 mph; Train B leaves Washington DC at 4:52 pm, going 75 mph--in what city & what time do they cross paths...
