Ice Cube Gets Him Name On The Famous Goodyear Blimp — Tha Wire [VIDEO]
Who would've thought that after all these years, Ice Cube would really get his name on the famous Goodyear blimp? Twenty years later, his lyrics have come true.
Back in 93’ Cube rapped on his classic ‘It Was a Good Day,’ “Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp / And it read, ‘Ice Cube’s a pimp.’ Now his musical dream has become a reality.
The rapper/actor/director teamed up with an internet charity group to help children in need. According to the Huffington Post the charity group went to Goodyear with the idea of raising money for an after-school center in L.A. With that they added a special request of getting the famous blimp to put Cubes name on in it. As it turns out the fundraising effort was a huge success and Ice Cube and the group raised $25,000 in donations.
Goodyear was impressed and obliged the request running “Ice Cube Says Today Is a Good Day” on its iconic blimp and even took the West Coast MC and kids from the charity for a ride.
The rap icon said of the experience, “I knew this song had legs when we did it, and it’s actually my most popular song. I never knew that 20 years later, people would still be this interested in the song and the lyrics, and that the song would do something this special for some good kids.”
In other news, rapper Jeezy was arrested again for obstruction.

A police source said when an officer asked Jeezy for some ID, he told them “F— you, I ain’t telling you,” and attempted to leave.
