Track Of The Week: Ice Cube - Today Was A Good Day

You may be thinking FA Cup Vinyl have gone insane, Ice Cube? That guy in those awful films 'Barbershop' and the horrendous children's film 'Are We There Yet?' *shudder*.That's the last time we do research. But believe it or not, good ol' Ice Cube was in a little know rap group called N.W.A. so knows how to rap. You probably haven't heard of them... Anyway what with us missing track of the week again, and it being the first return of track of the week, we thought we'd pick this brilliant rap song in an effort for our poor organisation. The beat is spectacular and the rap is a brilliant accompaniment, anyway, enough talking.

This week's track of the week is Ice Cube, 'Today Was A Good Day'.

Back From The Brink...

Thursday the 12th of July. Remember that day? Of course you do because it was the last time FA Cup Vinyl posted anything. All we can say is we're sorry for the slight hiatus, we will continue to post a bit more frequently now. The reason for our break? Well it's down to several things that we won't get into and that you will not care about.

So to make it up to you, we are going to show you the best/worst song and music video of all time. Nothing we say can prepare you for this. It's 'Bangs' with 'Take U To Da Movies'. WE'RE BACK WITH A BANG(s). Oh bet you missed our puns.
