Thoughts on "Going Back To Cali" by Biggie Smalls?

[Chief]

banger!

[Nutty]

I found it corny, but it grew on me over the years

[Kool Beenz]

i liked the song

[J$crILLa]

dope song.//// biggie was dope as fuck... if he only knew goin back to cali was not a good idea

[Okka]

It's a good song, the beat is tiiiiight

[PsychoToons5150]

Since we are on the topic of Biggie to be honest not trying to hate or anything so dont take what im bout to say the wrong way. but Him going back to Cali was the dumbest thing he could have ever done. I mean how in the hell are you going to go back to a place where everybody thinks that you are responsible for the death of 2pac and expect to just walk around like nothing happened, he should have known better.

[Tha_Blaq_Sinattra]

It's classic, but is it really more bounce, or just a zapp sounding beat? Epmd wrecked it tho.

[pnine23]

i know its disrespectful. but every time i hear that song i think. im getting getting shot shot in cali.

[SmokinDro520]

Its Aight But To Me EPMD Did The Best

[T-Dogg]

i hate the intro

Me too. They should've at least put the intro skit on another track so you could skip it easily.

Song is dope though. Excellent use of the sample on the beat.

[Juronimo]

Man to me this is the best usage of the "More Bounce To The Ounce" sample. "Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta", "Respect Your O.G's", "[Forgotten SCC song]", "You Gots To Chill" were all great, but this shit in particular was funky and phat as hell. What do you think?

Laylaw flipped the sample way better in the "What Can I Do" remix by Ice Cube, IMO.

[DOGGSHIT]

REMEMBER ICE CUBE'S "HOW TO SURVIVE IN SOUTH CENTRAL"? THAT SHIT WAS TIGHT TOO

[4108]

how to survive in south central was dope, but was an interpollation of "So Rough, So Tough" and not "More Bounce"

[floatin_above_everything]

The best was L.L.'s version...nobody ever though Biggie himself was responsible for Pac's death. More people woulda have though Suge over Big. Big wasn't a boss.

[kevlar]

the song is enjoyable.  a classic b/c it was a huge anthem, but if you really look at it and compare it to what alot of us heads consider classics it ain't that amazing or groundbreaking.
