AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The "It Was a Good Day" meme features an image macro of the rapper Ice Cube driving a car. In the template, he appears calm and content behind the steering wheel, typically overlayed with captions describing unexpectedly positive events, concluding with the phrase, 'it was a good day.'
OriginWho did it first?
The meme draws from American rapper Ice Cube's song "It Was a Good Day," released on February 23, 1993, as part of his album The Predator. A music video directed by F. Gary Gray, released shortly after the single, portrays Ice Cube experiencing a series of fortunate events. The screen capture used in the meme originates from this video. The concept was further popularized when the "Good Day Ice Cube" Meme Generator page was created on October 8, 2009.[1]
