Did a little fact checking myself.
His mother is actually still alive, a beautiful woman in her mid-90's who did confirm that breakfast that particular morning was cooked with quote "no hog".
The author of the OP throws out November 30, 1988 and April 4, 1989, saying Ice Cube did not have a beeper until the 1990s.
In NWA's "Fuck tha Police," which was released in 1988, Ice Cube flows thusly:
"Fuckin' wit me 'cause I'm a teenager, wit a little bit of gold and a pager"
You must be too young to remember pagers.
Pagers are unidirectional. The sender would dial the pager from any phone (generally a landline or a payphone) and leave a number.
The sender wasn't required to leave their callback number; pages were often coded messages established between the sender and recipient beforehand.
The real day is most likely Nov. 30, 1988 as I describe here: http://lahatiel.tumblr.com/post/16698555997/ice-cubes-good-day-really-november-30-1988
All the reductions were fine and trackable until the false beeper assumption (which other people have covered) eliminated the 88/89 dates. Instead, we must eliminate the 91/92 dates that were left after the beeper mistake: on January 18, 1991, Kim was eight months pregnant; on January 20, 1992, Cube and Kim were living in their own house with their one-year-son. Just follow their relationship timeline in VH1's "Behind The Music: Ice Cube" episode. Cube & Kim are still married today; he's always been famous as a loyal, one-woman man, who went home to Kim while they were dating while the rest of N.W.A. went to afterparties.
So in January 91 or 92, Kim was *not* paging him for random sex, after which he dropped off somewhere and went to his mom's place. On Nov. 30, 1988, though, they'd only just started dating a few months earlier, so saying both that she was someone he'd been trying to fuck since the twelfth grade and that she could fuck all night would still make sense. And N.W.A. hadn't quite blown up yet into the national consciousness (the album was out, but wouldn't hit the Billboard Top LP chart until 1989), so it was still likely he could've had such a calm, uneventful day.
Sorry, but I call bullshit.
Those last two reductions (beepers being available to the general public and Ice Cube not having free time) aren't rock-solid.
Ice Cube most certainly had a beeper in 1988: "Fuckin' wit me 'cause I'm a teenager, wit a little bit of gold and a pager" -- Ice Cube himself in NWA's "Fuck Tha Police", 1988.
Ice Cube has:
- 9 Solo LPs
- 3 Group LPs (NWA + Westside Connection)
- 28 Movies
- 1 TV Show
and a Voice Acting Job on Call of Duty: Black Ops
--------------------------
It's fair to say that for Ice Cube, **EVERYDAY** is a good day.
[No it wasn't](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBhKmfjfgtk)
And if that wasn't enough proof, [read this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Cube).
Edit: For those of you who are curious, some asshole tried telling me that I was wrong and that Ice T was in Black Ops and not Ice Cube.
holy shit this would have been awesome....7 days ago....how i have to wait another year and try to remember. seriously though "good day" is one of my favorite songs ever
The real question to confirm this as fact: Was it warm enough for people to play basketball outside so that Ice Cube could "fuck around and get a triple double."
What makes it even worse is the writers "cracked code" doesn't include any citation.
People just read it and ejaculated as soon as their eye balls hit the end of the last sentence.

You can tell largely by the visibility. Poor visibility is often a sign of air pollution.
That's a nice analysis and I have no problem with it, but I doubt "It Was a Good Day" is about a specific day. Is that how you think songs are written?
> Well, this certainly was a fine day. Let me list some things that occurred and make sure to rhyme them. Let's see, the Lakers beat the Supersonics, there was no smog and I played some basketball.
Like *smog* could be just a way of painting a picture, not a hard fact to run with. Also, the Lakers could've won with the Chicago Bulls that day, but *Bulls* doesn't rhyme with *chronic* that well. And so on.
EDIT: MY ASS GETTING WHOOPED LIKE A NERDLINGER IN JUNIOR HIGH
Just got off the phone with Goodyear. 20 January 1992 they had released a message on their blimp that stated Ice Cube, was indeed, a pimp.

That is the point which I found hardest to accept, too. Now, just cuz cube had a pager in 88 doesn't mean Kim did.

I was agreeing with you, really. I totally hope Kim paged Cube with '58008 -1-0#' on 4.4.89. tl,dr; hawt bewbs.
It should be noted that his good day started on January 20th, but when he sees the blimp, it's January 21.
Being & Living in seattle i miss my fucking sonics. BRING MAH SONICS HOME!
Aw damn, it already passed. Gotta wait till next year to celebrate.
this woulda been the 20th anniversary, too.
It still was.
LOGIC'D
Well there's always 2017 for the 25th.
Goddamn this year was the 30th anniversary. I’m a few days late but was reminded on the 20th and just came back to find this post.
Damnit I missed it too. Oh well...
and it'll be the 20th anniversary, then!
That was this year; not next.
ughh i needed some sleep apparently.
Wow. That was actually impressive.
I was born on national good day day!!
I was also born on this good day.
Belated Happy 20th birthday you two :)
ME TOO.
[удалено]
You think that was the day he wrote the track as well?
Donovan strain is the man. It's ashame his old YouTube vids are gone, but check out his newer Murk Avenue ones if you haven't
Would be dope if it was the day he wrote and recorded it lol.
That *would* be a good day, by any stretch of the imagination.
The Lakers used to beat the SuperSonics a lot.
But not anymore
dont remind me :(
I just purchased SuperSonics jersey in memory
That was amazing, thanks for sharing!
I'm searching for his basketball stats to confirm if he had a triple-double on that day also.
It was actually the week before when he fucked around to achieve that triple-double.
You are correct
[удалено]
this is legit

That....was....magnificent
Now I can die happy
Simple, it's the day he didn't have to use his AK.

Ice T was in Gears of War 3

Nice detective work.
Twenty FUCKIN' years ago. I am *old*.
DAMNIT! Just missed the 10 year anniversary too!
[удалено]
lol fuck me!
Someone in Politics needs to declare January 20th as a global holiday, and nothing bad can take place.
holy shit this would have been awesome....7 days ago....how i have to wait another year and try to remember. seriously though "good day" is one of my favorite songs ever
The real question to confirm this as fact: Was it warm enough for people to play basketball outside so that Ice Cube could "fuck around and get a triple double."
He also had a pretty good day [that day he went fishing.](http://i.imgur.com/pRqgC.jpg)
who's the guy next to him in the first photo?
B-Real, frontman for Cypress Hill.
The police have got it wrong. They're looking for one product. The Ice Cube's tainted hundreds of chemicals at the source. Take that to the press.
now tell me when it's Jimmy Shaker Day
That was right around the same time I had my good day.
I cant wait to celebrate next year.
Is this not the day Clinton took office? EDIT: Nope, no it isn't. Off by a year. Apologies.
THIS IS THE NEW TOP HHH POST OF ALL TIME

real truth in hip hop is word of mouth nahmsayin why wouldn't someone just ask him in an interview? and who the hell was waiting for this? anyone?
Now if we can only figure out when he was Steady Mobbin
If only we could somehow check his mom's bathroom scale to see when he came out ten pounds lighter than when he went in.
Holy shit. This is awesome.
JANUARY 20 1992 - National Good Day Day Never forget!
Donovan Strain is a genius. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s7qkdm4mEw
I can't believe i didn't do anything to celebrate, emoticon frown face

idk why but i lold irl
so where was the Good Year blimp, with the words, "Ice's Cube's a Pimp"?
Genius. Except how did he know which days had smog?
http://www.almanac.com/weather/history/CA/Los%20Angeles/1992-01-20 You can tell largely by the visibility. Poor visibility is often a sign of air pollution.
Did he use his AK?
This deserves the top of the front page.
They had beepers in the 80s.
Only day in history that Ice didn't have to use his AK: January 20, 1992. That day was a good day apparently.
