So here's what went down: some guy dissected Ice Cube's song "It Was a Good Day" and figured out exactly which day he was talking about. At first, it just seems like a song about any old good day, but, based on the information given by Ice Cube in the lyrics, someone was able to piece everything that went on that day as described and discern that the "good day" was January 20, 1992.

Here's the original article by Donovan Strain of LimeWedge to give you the bigger picture of what happened:

Believe it or not, there are individuals in this world that don’t just take take life at the surface, but dig deeper in search of the truth. Donovan Strain is one of these, he’s discovered Ice Cube’s Official “Good Day”.

Ice Cube starred in the film “Boyz in the hood” that released late Summer of 1991, but was being filmed mid-late 1990 early 1991 and Ice Cube was busy on set filming the movie Jan 18 1991 too busy to be lounging around the streets with no plans. Ladies and Gentlemen..

The ONLY day where:
Yo MTV Raps was on air
It was a clear and smogless day
Beepers were commercially sold
Lakers beat the SuperSonics
and Ice Cube had no events to attend was…

JANUARY 20 1992: National Good Day Day
