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

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!

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...
