About

"It Was a Good Day" is an image macro series featuring a screen capture of the rapper Ice Cube driving a car accompanied by captions recalling positive events that conclude with “it was a good day.”

Origin

The American rapper Ice Cube released the song "It Was a Good Day"[1] on February 23rd, 1993, as a single for his album The Predator. The following month, a music video for the song directed by F. Gary Gray was released, which featured Ice Cube depicting various events from the song's lyrics (shown below).



On October 8th, 2009, the "Good Day Ice Cube" Meme Generator[2] page was created, which featured image macros based on a screen capture taken from the music video (shown below).

Further Research

On January 26th, 2012, the creator of the Murk Avenue Tumblr[6] blog Donovan Strain published a post in which he claimed to have deduced the exact date described in the Ice Cube song as January 20th, 1992. To narrow down the date, Donovan eliminated any day in which the show Yo! MTV Raps was not on the air, it was cloudy or smoggy, beepers were not sold commercially, the Lakers did not beat the SuperSonics and Ice Cube had an event to attend. Within 10 months, the post received over 15,376 notes.
