The greatest classic of the Hip-Hop/Rap style.

Ice Cube's song It was a good day is probably his best-known song, appearing on his third solo album, The Predator, released on 23 February 1993.

The song was a monster hit, peaking at #7 on the Billboard Hot R&B / Hip-Hop songs chart and #27 on the UK Charts. More than this, it was even ranked in the top 100 hip-hop songs of all time and was ranked #352 out of 500 for the best songs of all time.

The song It was a good day is about a day when everything is normal, no shootings, no one he knows has been killed, the girl he wants to meet calls him and asks him out, some police officers walk by but don't call him out, he even ends the song with It was a good day.

Ice Cube's inspiration.

Ice Cube explained the concept of the song during an interview, speaking that it is a fictional song, which acts as his interpretation of what would be a good day.

Some people have been trying to find that famous day Ice Cube talks about in his song and several clues have been found, but the rapper said that the day described in the song never happened and that it is composed of several different days.

My opinion

What I like about this music is that it's perfect for any time of the day, whether it's in the morning on the way to school or at night when I get home, I get that relaxed euphoric feeling. I think this music is really perfect when you just want to relax and not think about your problems, that's the feeling I get with almost all of Ice Cube's songs.
