Ice Cube - Today Was A Good Day (Dirty) (Official Video)

[Baz]

“Drunk as hell but no throwin up”
Hell yeah

[Ustinmitchell]

The dirty version, cube hits the beat raw. You listen to the clean and he doesn’t have the same emotion on the takes. Worlds difference

'National Good Day Day' 😂😂😂

The first time I heard this I was young, heading home from visiting my Dad in the hospital, slowly dying of cancer. All the worry and pain and long drawn out sadness was weighing heavy on me. The roads were quiet, the sun was setting and the rooftops looked pretty, this song came on the radio and for one moment I took a breath and appreciated the beauty of that singular moment. Just for a moment I could have a good day.

[tommy]

This version is way better than the censored version!

[Hellfire-wh]

Remember when you could wake up not having to worry about anything? You just got to sit down and do whatever made you happy? Whether it was playing your favorite game, hanging around with friends. Those were the good days.

[geoffreysnyder]

The more I listen to this song, the more I love it and respect Ice Cube.

[Phntom]

[latessiawilder]

[NOBLESGANG]

[mava]

"Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A." man, that kills me everytime

[genwright]

It's 2023, and this song is still 🔥 📛

[realtrill]

It crazy how it was such a good day for ice cube that it felt weird for him to finally feel a regular day without drama

[lilmarjo]

The dislikes are from people that don’t have a good day

[CobrettiKai]

Cube is the best writer Rap music has ever seen, and will ever see. He's not my favorite #1 rapper of all time, but he's clearly the most genius writer of lyrics in the game. There is no equal.

[Konuvis]

This song turns any day into a good day.

[myshadowstalksme]

This came out when I was in 6th grade. My mom really liked Ice Cube too. I remember being so embarrassed when she picked me up from school playing this song.

[archiepreston]

Summer 2k19 me and my boys were bumping this we’d ride our bikes for ages it’s shame we don’t get on no more this song reminds me so much of them

[bluegregory]

Sample from the Isley Bros. One of my 5 favorite rap songs ever. Love that West Coast style.
