A song that has not only solidified it’s place in hip-hop history, but has also become an anthem for anybody having a “good day” is the one Ice Cube was able to craft in 1993. The single that found it’s way on the west coast OG’s third studio album, The Predator, “It Was A Good Day” has been revered as a first round ballot classic. After the jump, watch Ice Cube explain how the song came about right after the infamous LA riots, what it meant for the community, and why the gang truce made the song possible.
We think the exact day Ice Cube was talking about should be a national holiday, let us know what you think in the comments!
