I remember beeing in Houston around the time Tha Eastsidaz first album came out, everybody LOVED "Got Beef", but it didn't seem to popular in California.

The same can be said for "How We Do" and "Hate it or Love it" by Game.

dogg i could turn on the radio and hear either those two tracks going on both rap stations in LA.

"Down for my n'ggas" has always been huge out here, and you still hear it at half the parties and clubs you go to. I don't know if it blew up bigger when C-Murder released it on his album as a single in 2000-2001, but that song has always got a lot of play here.

yeah Down for my n'ggas definitely, it's played at most college parties or clubs here in TX, but as you pointed out, it has more to do with C-murder releasing it. Also from time to time in the clubs I hear 2 of amerikaz most wanted.
Actually a lot of clubs here in Dallas have "a west coast minute" (its more like 5-10 min) during which they play some of the west coast classics like nuthin but a g thang, gin n juice, etc...

i've heard songs by Mac Dre, Westside Connection, Keak Da Sneak, and that "Two Stepping" track by Hot Dollar in many clubs in Mexico, along with some othere classics ( dres, snoops, cubes). 

The funny thing is that if you ask the djs if they kno who's song is that, they don't kno shit, haha!

In Montreal westcoast music aint that big, they play the Dre hits when they come out, youll hear cube put youre bakc into it but its been reaaaaal quiet. Of course you hear Snoop's pop hip hop but thats it.

I did go to a 90s jam 2 weeks ago andthe bumped tons of westcast like Dopeman, summertime in the lbc and regulate of course they played all the classics as well.

sup my mtl homie!!did you went to aria and redlite or any other after/club?  i remeber when i use to work @ aria they always (well most of the times) play california love,even when it came out it was always on musique plus and much music (music channel equivalent of mtv)

yeah u know i see it on the tv ocne in a while but at clubs its rare, havent been to the afterhour spots tho.
