The Making Of Ice Cube's "Today Was A Good Day" (Video)

Cube

Complex continue their fantastic "Magnum Opus" series with the making of Ice Cube's classic cut "Today Was A Good Day". The track is probably one of the most well known songs from any catalogue in Hip-Hop, especially when you consider the time it was released and who it was created by. If you asked anyone, particularly a non Hip-Hop fan, to name an Ice Cube song, "Today Was A Good Day" is a strong contender for their answer.

This episode of "Magnum Opus" explores the inspiration for the song and the crossover appeal it garnered, with quotes from Ice Cube himself as well as others.

Watch the episode below followed by the full video beneath.

Eminem - Survival (Video)

Em

I won't lie. I'm pretty disappointed that Eminem has chosen to include this track on his upcoming "MMLP2" project. I was hoping "Survival", which surfaced a couple of months ago, was merely a song to accompany the game it was featured on. As he's shot a video for it, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyway, here it is.
