The Isley Brothers - Footsteps in the Dark

[diegospinosa1]

And I have to say, TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY.

[dagamerguy12]

Good memories :)

[clutchcity25]

Gotta thank Dom Kennedy and Ice Cube for sending me back here.

[JeanzPlz]

i killed playboy x cause dwayne was listening to this song

[tristyn360]

Its on gta 4 ur thinking about in between the sheets or even good day by ice cube on san andreas

[dagamerguy12]

Thumbs up if it reminds you of Gta San Andreas, good memories :)

[EmperorXaozx]

@dagamerguy12 Don't you mean Vice City?

[dagamerguy12]

@EmperorXaozx no its also on san andreas

[EmperorXaozx]

@dagamerguy12 What station? Bounce FM?

[maffedied]

@EmperorXaozx Radio Los Santos, but it's the cover of this song (i guess). 'It was a good day' - by Ice Cube

[EmperorXaozx]

@maffedied See I never listen to Radio Los Santos. I listen to Master Sounds 98.3 or CSR and rarely Bounce FM. Thanks though.

[dagamerguy12]

@EmperorXaozx I dont know I haven`t played this game for a long time.

[datflyguy215]

the most chill song ever

[GTAv5v]

I have listen to this song so many times.....

[blueslady1754]

This is a classic..Ice Cube covered this

[EastCoastsRecords]

Today was a good day

Thumbs up if you get it

[LilTeekSinClick]

@EastCoastsRecords You dont need thumbs up...

[kidyb23]

@GGotShot One good thing about gta is thy always pick the best songs to kill too lol

[20tweed06]

your not an O.G unless this is on your playlist...

[Nasir33149]

Best sample of all times, period. :)

[ricenbeans82]

and my jimmy goes deep so deep it put her butt to sleep

[Chr0nicAmen14]

Dang, this is that real mood music. Love this song...

[NrKoo]

Why da fuck do I listen to old school hiphop to hear things like this when I could just go all the way to the originals?

[Arubertos]

Lol first i was like "Lol they stole it from Ice Cube" and then I checked on wiki and i realised that Ice Cube is the real thief :(

[AlexOnRS]

@Arubertos Lol you listened to this and thought Ice Cube's track was older? Plus it's not stealing, it's sampling.

[Arubertos]

@AlexOnRS Lol i'm not really interested in R&B or whatever and i live in poland where on the radio you can only hear commercial crap. How could i know song like this one then?

[Arubertos]

@Arubertos And for me it is stealing lol. He took rhythm from another song instead of creating his own...

[hall9111]

Listen to this: ambiguous lyrics, a good melody, and superb vocals. See, hackneyed country musicians? This is how you write a song about Infidelity!

[beatmasta77]

CLASSIC!!!

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

I thought The Isley Brothers and Ice Cube stole the beat from Lord Infamous's song "1, 2, 3", classic Isley Brothers jam.

[ilufflezpie]

waking up on a saturday, Just getting out of a bed, Sun shining in through the window in my apartment on a sunny day makes me wish I was born when these songs were still listened to.

[ZyciowePrawdyAriela]

Just waking up in the mornin gotta thank God...oh wait, it's no Ice Cube.

[intruda1121]

[missasegei]

I love this song so much , I remember the socials we used to have and we'd bump to this and to all u lil whippersnappers out there.. This shyt was a CLASSIC b4 Ice Cube ever thought about rappin'.. I have spoken!

Just waking up in the mornin gotta thank God I don't know but today seems kinda odd No barkin from the dogs, no smog And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog I got my grub on, but didn't pig out Finally got a call from a girl I wanna dig out Hooked it up for later as I hit the do' Thinkin will I live, another twenty-fo' I gotta go cause I got me a drop top And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop Had to stop, at a red light Lookin in my mirror and not a jacker in sight etc.

[WraithTheSlayer]

I like Ice Cube too <3

[jbird7207]

[tragedykhadafy]

[Aleezy83]

I got a lap dance to this song, all man!!!

[BabyPaulaPolestar]

Wasn't this in San address first?

[ray23wong]

@BabyPaulaPolestar "san andreas"

[hereforyourcookie]

@BabyPaulaPolestar and no, this was the original, Ice Cube sampled it; his song is on San Andreas not this one

[NikePauly]

@BabyPaulaPolestar its san andreas and na it wasnt, the song ur thinking about is ice cube today was a good day, they both have the same instrumental :D

[TimMaundrell]

djpooh/dilla

[MsTreySongz2024]

this and Between the Sheets, best songs ever



[TheKahuna70]

i can listen to this all day

[aWongCali]

32 people thought they stole this from Ice Cube .

[ToxicMadn3ss]

@aWongCali

and i'm sure hundreds more thought ice cube stole this from the isley brothers

thing is no one stole anything, i'm sure the sample was provided permission, paying or not. still good songs though

[aWongCali]

@ToxicMadn3ss yea , i love listening to these both in my ipod . not like how ice tea stole a queens song hahaha

[danya9901x]

@aWongCali although ice cube is a beast.. thats something you cant deny. and the funny thing is "it was a good day" is one of my favorite songs, and to figure out that he got it from someone else.... -.-

[aWongCali]

@danya9901x yea i love both, most of my friends (high school teens) thought that they stole the beat from Ice Cube, I was like WTF? Hell no, this is original shit. Real music. Haha

[missasegei]

@aWongCali 32 people is just clueless.. This is The Isley Bros. one of The baddest R&B bands of all time..

[aWongCali]

@missasegei Amen to that!

[mcchikinchaser]

@aWongCali LMAO @ those people haha

[chuegyre]

@aWongCali

ya, but it's reverse

[cireonebitch]

@aWongCali - Possibly the funniest comment I have ever read. Thanks for the laugh!

[uchihaitachi641]

@aWongCali I love both versions

[aWongCali]

@uchihaitachi641 me too. i slap both everyday

[xUnd3rc0vx]

ice cube, yea.

[d0ublefaces]

Can't believe it's a 1977 track. What are we doing today?

[boomboxxking]

If it weren't for games like GTA, I wouldn't know a thing about past artists like Minnie Ripperton, The Isley's, or even old school Hip Hop and country classics. Rockstar pays special homage to these songs, bands, and artists and I truly appreciate it.

[beefcows]

gta 5 needs an isley bros station!

[IKICASH]

i always thought this was ice cubes beat.... but this is the one of the best beat ever!!!!

[whayes8084]

@IKICASH This isn't a "beat" it's called instrumentation.

[ImJogginWithScissors]

P ROD'S NIKE AD

[BabyB512]

Lol I love how Im playing GTA right now

[ciyvi9]

[2504spain]

@Luis150697 Yeeeess!! Me toooo!!! And thank you Zit for say me the song :D

[ARSONISTJOE]

No wonder Ice Cube and Usher sampled from this track, this is just amazing stuff. Fuck what they say about sampling, it's all about paying tribute to the greats.

[latrodectus23]

[shoticko]

[DEZZY2425]

[Avenir408]

Absolutely Amazing



[lpz777]

[rumble360]

[HassanMirza199O]

When I hear this song, I reminisce (with the guitars) but at the same time it's haunting (with the lyrics) but ya just wanna get down! (with the drum kit)

[dallas2142470276]

Baby making music..

[ForgottenZmeY]

Ice Cube- TOday is a good day

[lolOloveOlol21]

Their music is so peaceful & soothing!

[TheTechnopie]

San Andreas & GTA IV

[trupadupa]

won't do!



[remixballah]

wait wait stop that shit po, what the fuck im thinkin bout?

[t47455]

Dont to many people understand this song!!

[tachibanathekilla]

Damn this music makes me wanna drink booze and relax :3

[DefiancenDeception]

The Vibe=)

[Nausicaaification]

Queen bea's ish!

[ForDahLulz]

All DJ Pooh did was cut out that first loop of this song and gave it some effects, and BOOM, Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day was born.

[marab203]

today i didn't even have to use my a.k....i gotta say it was a good day.

all jokes aside, the original goes just as hard as ice cube's version.

[wenaldy]

Fuck J Dilla, Ice Cube and Isley Bros ROCKS!!!

[KageNinja215]

@wenaldy Fuck You. J Dilla, Ice Cube & The Isley Brothers ROCK!!

[wiseoficu]

@KageNinja215 lol I see u got there before me fam......"Toast to all the greats thou"

[AfterBurnerEX1]

ima make kids with this song

[AttitudeBeast2007]

...."One won't do it, two is not enough for me,no ".....

Okay those aren't the lyrics but I loved this song enough to sample the drums. But somebody already beat to the punch using them. And that one probably did a better job than any beat maker using a simple loop of the intro drums.

This is certainly grown folks' music right here!....

Thumbs up if you grew up on GROWN FOLKS' MUSIC!!!

[Peoples17Champ]

If it wasn't for me making a promise to my grandma I wouldn't have sex until I was 18

I would have 5 kids by just from this song lol

[xCaptxCrunchx]

I Rather listen to this all day than main stream music now a days

[yosmarone]

YEAH ICE CUBE LO IZO PEPINO EN ESTOO

[scagazines]

[DAVO1984FI]

The basics of music

[TheWrongTone112]

[MrNachooXD]

I got it in GTA 4 :D

[tashabarnett96]

MY BABY LOVES THIS SONG!

[roach13200]

when i was 3 or 4 my dad used to play song alot along with other old school songs like this, thats y it reminds me of him, too bad he died :(

[dylankd1]

@roach13200 very sad, R.I.P to him

[roach13200]

@dylankd1 alot of these songs remind me of him,like this 1, and thanks.

[redin1421]

Wish Saints Row had this song

[jonaslum]

@redin1421 gta IV does ;)

[jmek08]

Damn, it seems the only way kids find out about good music is through games n shit. Well now they should know that old school grooves are what it's all about, not this lame electro garbage n Justin Bieber bullshit.

[TehGrahmmerNahzi]

The artists put their music in the games for a reason, exposure. I love this song, shouldn't matter how I found out about it, all about the music!

[mcfagggatron]

@TehGrahmmerNahzi

I agree!

[LuvChaos]

@jmek08 Absolutely. It's downright sad that so many kids with so much information at their disposal can be so lame and clueless.

[DaWoOdPrInCe]

Break em' .

[deathmetalshredify]

Doesn't this sound like

Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day,

WOW!

[dourseau]

@deathmetalshredify ice cube sampled the song



[B33fisGud]

@deathmetalshredify

No shit.

[musiqpower]

grand theft auto is raw as fuk so keep it to urself. its a great song

[TheAbominableShowman]

sad that a classic like this has top comments to do with grand theft auto.. i mean its the shit one aswell!

[Steamstock]

Smoooooooooooth.

[CellyBelly18]

Mannn!!!!!This song reminds me of my Dad!!!RIP

[ajazinggirl]

I remember this being bumped up loud in the house all the time

[binary1001011]

this is such a great track, i know most of the people here know it from video games but it's not about where you find music, it's just that you appreciate it.

[eclectica1]

@binary1001011 As well as some of the younger generation knowing of the song from the Ice Cube sample when it initially came out of course :-)

[gabegambino]

@binary1001011 lol...binary 69...

[AmericanBadass44]

I listen to this at night while I'm in bed and on my laptop in the dark. Fucking incredible

[ThePalagergo]

no way gta 4 has better graphics ;)

[DeceptiveCakes]

@ThePalagergo Not that I'm against your opinion, but I hate people who only like games because of graphics.

[GranTruismo4head]

I can't belive that Ice Cube sampled this song this songs a real R&B classic

[TheDezireGraphics]

gta4? get the fuck out its all about the san andreas

[64804jonjon]

@TheDezireGraphics I know, gta 4 sucks ass right? compared too SA anyway
