It Was a Good Day ; Ice Cube ; The Predator, 1993
Arguably the best rap song of all-time, this song is lyric poetry about the dangerous pitfalls of living the "gangsta" life-style and growing up on the streets. The simple facts that "no one died" or that he didn't have to use his "A-K" qualifying as a "good day" is mind-blowing. I know a lot of rap music is hyperbolic, but the thought of being "alive at the end of the day" would never enter my mind as qualifying as a "good day"; being alive at the end of the day is just a given to me. I guess I'm lucky.
