Follow Up of the Day: After Murk Avenue’s Donovan Strain determined that January 20, 1992 was Ice Cube’s “Good Day,” everybody lost their sh*t, collectively.
But what does the man himself have to say about Strain’s conclusion? “Nice try.”
That’s what Cube told Vulture through a publicist. Could he be hinting that Strain’s figure is incorrect? The possibility has been debated since the blog post was unleashed.
Strain bases a significant portion of his inference on the commercial availability of beepers, but conveniently neglects to confirm sightings of the Goodyear blimp (and whether or not it read “Ice Cube’s a pimp”). An exhaustive critique of Strain’s research suggests Ice Cube’s “Good Day” actually took place on November 30th, 1988.
Still no accounting for the Goodyear blimp, though, or the lack of homicides in South Central L.A., so the mythological “Good Day” may still be as elusive as ever.
wut.
This must be for me since my birthday is in 12 days, right? (:
Mmmmmaybeh.
Actually it was for Jessica, but fret not. You’ll get something.
