Truthfully, I’m astounded at the fact that Ice Cube is that far removed from his past that he can appear on a segment of Sesame Street.
Astouding is when something is so amazing, it catches you by surprise. For example, making a penny disappear, pulling a Dinosaur out of a hat, and turning Ice Cube into an Ice Cube are all astounding magic tricks you can watch in this video.
Ice Cube liberates the visual for his new tune with Redfoo and 2 Chainz. While we think the song is terrible (as do many others, judging from YouTube’s rating system), Cube himself believes that the clubs (and your girl) will accept it:
Everythang’s Corrupt is still on the way.

Ice Cube drops off the new single from his upcoming album Everythang’s Corrupt, which is set to hit stores May 13th. You can cop it now on iTunes….visual is coming soon.
Ice Cube throws us a teaser for his upcoming visual from the forthcoming album Everythang’s Corrupt, which drops May 13th. The full clip is to premiere on Tuesday (February 11th).
In addition to pushing his new movie Ride Along and upcoming album Everythang’s Corrupt (out May 13th), Ice Cube also spoke on the near-mythical N.W.A. biopic and threw his spin on a popular children’s book.
So, it didn’t say “Ice Cube’s a pimp“, but it’s still art becoming reality. From the L.A. Times:
The message on the blimp may be different, but today is still a “good day.”
In 1993, Ice Cube rapped about a good day in South Los Angeles — the Lakers beat the Supersonics, he had a solid breakfast and he saw his name on the Goodyear blimp.
To remind people “that good days do exist,” the Good Day Blimp project launched a social media campaign to persuade Goodyear to fly its aircraft just how the rapper imagined it — with “Ice Cube’s a pimp” in lights — Monday, on the anniversary of the fictional day.
The campaign aimed to raise and donate $25,000 to A Place Called Home, a South L.A. charity that works to provide at-risk youth with a secure, positive family environment, on the condition the company flies the blimp.
And Goodyear agreed — though, with “it’s a good day” on the side of its blimp.
Ice Cube accepted the “Ride Along” — the actor’s new movie with the same name opened Friday — urging the company to participate during an appearance on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” last week.
“Goodyear, Goodyear, do this before we call you Bad Year,” he said. “Do it for the kids.”
The company typically receives thousands of requests each year from charities and is unable to accommodate them, but the “Good Day” proposal got their attention, according to a letter tweeted at the star.
“We want to make sure this group of kids has a ‘Good Day,’” the letter said.
Several students from A Place Called Home were invited to ride the blimp Monday with Ice Cube over Los Angeles. Photos posted to social media showed the star signing a giant check for the organization.
About a year ago, stand-up comedian Donovan Strain broke down the song lyrics and determined that “National Good Day Day” was Jan. 20, 1992. He felt inspired to listen to the song, which is “still the anthem for having a good day,” one morning when he woke up and “Space Jam,” his favorite movie, was on TV, he told Complex music.
“I was having such a good day, I was curious what day his good day was,” he said. “If he was having a good day, it had to be this day, because I was having such a good day.”
Strain started Googling on his iPhone — while watching “Space Jam” upside down on his couch — and using clues from the lyrics discovered the only possible day the song could be about: Jan. 20, 1992.
“It doesn’t make any sense at all, but it’s cool. It’s so cool,” Ice Cube told Jimmy Fallon.
The campaign had so far raised about $20,000 for the organization. Ice Cube told Fallon he would make sure the fundraiser went over the top.
From E!:
Moviegoers went along with Ride Along this weekend. And they helped the comedy break all sorts of records.
The action flick, starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, earned $41.2 million its debut weekend. Cloverfield was the top-grossing movie during MLK weekend, up until this weekend, earning $40 million from Friday-Sunday and $46 million in its four-day debut in 2008.
Ride Along also takes the honor of being the biggest Friday-Sunday opening in January history.
Last week’s No.1 movie, the drama thriller Lone Survivor slipped to the No.2 spot and made $23.2 million.
Ice Cube appears on The Breakfast Club to promote his new movie with Kevin Hart, the buddy cop film Ride Along. It was only natural that other topics were brough up, such as NWA, the old Ice Cube, Friday and Cube’s upcoming effort Everythang’s Corrupt.

Kevin Hart and Ice Cube lead the lineup in Ride Along, the new film from the director and the producer of the blockbuster comedy Think Like a Man. When a fast-talking guy joins his girlfriend’s brother—a hot-tempered cop—to patrol the streets of Atlanta, he gets entangled in the officer’s latest case. Now, in order to prove that he deserves his future bride, he must survive the most insane 24 hours of his life.
For the past two years, high-school security guard Ben (Hart) has been trying to show decorated APD detective James (Cube) that he’s more than just a video-game junkie who’s unworthy of James’ sister, Angela (Tika Sumpter). When Ben finally gets accepted into the academy, he thinks he’s earned the seasoned policeman’s respect and asks for his blessing to marry Angela.
Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner’s rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it.
John Leguizamo and Laurence Fishburne join the cast of the action-comedy directed by Tim Story. Ride Along is produced by Will Packer (Think Like a Man), alongside Ice Cube, Matt Alvarez (Barbershop) and Larry Brezner (Good Morning, Vietnam).
A currently on-tour Ice Cube took time out to perform ‘Today Was A Good Day’ (backed by The Roots, of course) on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.
From TMZ:
If this is NWA, then the “A” stands for acceleration … because Ice Cube’s tour bus got pulled over for speeding this afternoon in Durham, North Carolina.
A rep for the Granville County Sheriff’s Department wouldn’t say how fast the bus was gunning it along I-85 North, but the speed limit on that road is 70 mph … so the driver really must’ve been hauling ass.
But lucky for him, we’re told the driver was let off with a warning — no tickets issued — and Ice Cube was nice enough to get out and sign autographs for a bunch of the officers.
