Also, re: “Today Was A Good Day”

People have long complained about the line “It’s ironic / I had the brew, she had the chronic,” because they’re all perpetual smartypants who remember everybody making fun of Alanis Morrissette and want to get in on that.

The thing is, though, we don’t know the context of the situation he’s describing. There’s nothing inherently ironic about one person having beer and another person having weed, no, but we don’t know who this lady is — maybe she is a serious beer enthusiast, or maybe she works at a liquor store. Ice Cube’s love of marijuana is well-documented. If you’ve got a guy who wrote “Smoke Some Weed” carrying a six pack, and he’s meeting a lady who, I dunno, writes a beer blog who’s bringing a joint, then there’s certainly some irony at work there. Get over yourselves, people.
