But do we know that his mama cooked breakfast with no hog that day?
protools1983
Not a jacker in sight
Hcir
Did anybody thing to just ask him?
FinancialRavioli
Who would thing like that?
IHaveSomeLyricsForThat
Huh...that would've been the day my mom found out she was pregnant with me....I'll have to ask if it was indeed a good day for her.

The plot thickens.

So what about murders in South Central LA?
procrastinatingagain
That's some good detective work there.
trelf
I wish I could remember what I was up to on that date.
TireeRunner
And posted a day before the 30th anniversary. Bravo @OP

This dude does his own research.
fugue042
I always upvote this, because I appreciate the effort that went into the discovery.
Zadwanaa
Holy hell.. first time seeing this!
PacMan4Life
This is some Sherlock Holmes level stuff right there
totallyserious69
Unfortunately Yo! MTv raps didn’t air on that day and there are documented shootings. Most likely a fictional ideal day being described.
fugue042
Curse you internet!!! Again you have lied to me!!!

Not really a discovery. Ice Cube jossed this (and the other potential date; November 30, 1988) since the song wasn't based on a single day.
burpmortyburp
Yeah that makes sense
JustAnotherknarF
This is my first time seeing it, but Damn! Worth the work and the upvote +1

awesome... Now try to figure out when 'the summer of 69' was about
TChallaVanDam
Haha.
billyjonas
Hospital records confirm, at least woman was admitted with ‘sleepy ass’ due to an acute case of ‘dick so deep’.

This is the kind of research we need to see more of in this world … integral , informative and inspiring

Sorry, Motorola brought out beepers in 1959 and by the '80s there were over 3 million in use. 1988 and 1989 are still on the table.
forsale90
I would still say that 1992 is the most likely candidate since one year makes sense to bring out such a song. He would have had to 1/2
forsale90
remember those very specific details for quite a while or keep the song in his drawer for several years before releasing it. 2/2

ICollectReactionGifs
drug dealers wouldn't have been using them until wide-area paging was a thing tho, from your own source:
Jbelkin
One way pagers were in use by EMTs and hospitals but 2 way pagers (general public) didn’t become pop & available until 1990s
jmckay83
dracborne
This also needed to be cross-checked for days he didn't use his AK
TexanSailor
FUCK we forgot to cross reference for AK usage.
iamthisguy247
I still feel like the easiest thing would be to find the day you could see the Goodyear Blimp and it spelled “Ice Cube’s a pimp”.
iamthisguy247
I mean, it had to be at most a handful of days where they wrote that.
ActuallyAPirate
Didn't NEED to use his ak
SometimesISayDumbShit
To be fair, every day in which he was not forced to use his AK was, in fact, a good day
GoodGuyGonzo
How could he just kill a man
BeerCir
Here is something you can't understand
Randofitter7
That's B Real isn't it
Randofitter7
Before the beef I assume
GoodGuyGonzo
Yeah, it’s him
sambaah05
He's Ice Cube. That's every day.
OhStopItEwe
Except one.
AnythingMuchShorter
He didn't say he DIDN'T use it, he said he didn't HAVE TO use it. Firing it for fun doesn't negate this parameter.
sambaah05
He has no criminal record, and was never actually in a gang. He's never "had" to use an AK. So that's everyday.
AnythingMuchShorter
"Had" can mean a lot of things, for your job, survival, or to accomplish a goal. In a role where he fired an AK he had to in the job sense.
CrimeBrulee
From contextual clues it's clear that he means for self-defense in the hood. No pedantry needed.
ReginaKasteen
All that means is he was never caught.
kyzentun
Ice Cube combined events from several different days to preserve the anonymity of any actual day.
TheRicM
Also not to mention he could have created a fictional character that wasn't necessarily himself
iamthisguy247
Clearly he checked himself, before he wrecked himself.
Snowbella1
cuz getting dates mixed up is bad for your health.
graehall
Niiice.
yourmomisausername
Your mom needs to preserve her anonymity
rnmrnmmnrnrmrm
Cuz Ice Cube ain't no snitch.
VaultGirl69
Just like Martha. ?

*Because ice cubes do not snitch

Datz wha he said mon

That was a good day, but just wait for April 26th, 1992. There was a riot in the streets tell me where were you?
ShaunB
Getting suspended from grade 2 for hitting a kid with a baseball bat. He kicked my best friend in the balls, I still don't regret it.
revelator
I was sitting at my home watching my TV
sweetnaivety
I was only 4 years old, no idea
Type17
Building new bikes in International Bicycle Center, Allston, MA. First week in the US on a Green Card and the whole country was rioting.
SerenePrincess013
I remember where I was. But it's not something I'm comfortable sharing in public, bc I was only 9.
ChrisBronson
You were at home watching your TV while I was participating in some anarchy
SerenePrincess013
Sure, honey, if you say so.
ChrisBronson
It's a popular song about the riots from the group Sublime lol. I was also a youngster at the time
itrulydontknowhattosay
First spot we hit was the liquor store. Freaking love sublime

That's my birthday. It wasn't that great

Can confirm, Jan 20th 1992 was a good day.
LadyCottonHead
I will be born in exactly 4 months from Jan 20th 1992. Therefore, this is all nonsense, because as far as I'm concerned nothing existed yet!
LajesticVantrashellOfLob
Me too!
wilagames
I spent January 20th 1992 in a Ramada inn in upstate South Carolina. It was an acceptable day at best.

Every day I wasn’t alive was a good day
itsthevoiceman
Same
manystripes
My brother was 7 days old, we'd just moved into a new house, and by Jan 20 the power was back on after the ice storm on the 15th. It was ok
unluckyandbored
It was a good day for my brother. He turned 10 that day.
somnif
I was in Kindergarten and don't really recall that specific day. But presumably, it was fine.
OmnesMundiLardum
Yeah, complete opposite of April 29th 1992
mtnbikegeek
Jan 20th 1992 was a great day! I was 6 years, 4 months old. It was summer break and my 3 brothers and I spent the day with friends on bikes
munchabeexodus79
How was it summer break in jan are you Australian?
mtnbikegeek
I am indeed!
