All music uses samples, not just rap. The beat is actually a fire truck and wind chimes. Yes that really is where the beat comes from. It is from an old 1960s record that had a fire truck and wind chimes.

One of my favorites from Cube! I like how thick the guard is and I like the clown with the big buck eyes finally gets what's coming to him, concept is cool
Word! This is why I never really felt this joint. Cube jacked an immortal beat that should be untouchable. I hated it even more when Puff and Mase did it. No one should be rhyming over this beat as an actual single. Ya wanna freestyle on it? Cool, but no beat jack. Not for this.
@@Israel-nb7ip Stop talking trash about this video . you think they didn't pay Grand Master Flash to sample his song . He got paid so stop with the crying
@@ya.thegoat8795 for ya non hip hop heads who roll with whatever is hot at the moment, there is ethics to some of this. Taking a classic, iconic beat that's associated with a classic and iconic group who changed the game with the song is usually frowned upon unless you're gonna do something sick over it, or if its just a freestyle and not an actual song. Cube did nothing special with this beat to justify re-using it. Like I said before, I don't like when others do it either. I mentioned Puff using this beat and even a dude like Camron rhyming on Ambitionz Az a Ridah. And justifying it by saying that those guys got paid for the sample is false because those artists from back then don't own their publishing.
Word up; a lot of people ought to correct themselves before they wreck themselves. 👌One of my favorite 🎵 🎵 🎵 musical joints by Ice Cube that I used to sing in rap a lot back in the days the 🎵 musical joint played as a top hit.😘↗ Love peace & respect to Ice Cube for 🎵 musical joints of his of which I've enjoyed to benefit by.😘
As everybody mentions 90s was a time of great music esp hiphop but comparing with today it was also a great blessing in terms of where you could actually understand the lyrics. Being a non-native speaker i cant understand shit of today's rappers, damn.
This is a Classic !!!!!! and never gets old !!!!!! I can listen to this song over and over and A Good Day over and over while driving or in the house Radio or mp3 or CD or watch this video the 90s was a Folden Ager that cant be re created not even with A . i . !!!!!!

The beginning of this video is the end of “Today was a Good Day.”
It’s up to us old folks to teach the kids these facts. Sometimes the obvious is not so obvious if you’re seeing this for the first time.
@John Carter I use to buy Ice Cube videos on VHS tapes in the early 90s. 5 minutes of video on a huge tape.
I already knew this, but I’m pretty sure it’s people who didn’t 🤔
it was a good day*
Yep
Still one of the most hardcore hip hop songs of all time. The lyrics are brutal
