#1 - "6 N' the Mornin'" - Ice-T
"This is an L.A. anthem, this is the jump off," Cube says. "This let people that the Hip-Hop in L.A. was real and the streets in L.A. were real."
#2- "How to Survive in South Central" - Ice Cube
"It was instructions on how to survive on these L.A. streets," Cube says of his 1991 hit, which was featured on the Boyz N the Hood soundtrack, in which he also starred.
#3- "To Live and Die in L.A." - 2Pac
"It's just an L.A. anthem," Cube says. "I loved this record when it came out and I love it every time I hear it."
#4- "California Love" - 2Pac featuring Dr. Dre
"It was just crazy," Cube says. "That's the L.A. anthem that everybody loves all over the world."
#5- "It Was a Good Day" - Ice Cube
"You think of L.A. sunshine, low-lows, it just takes you back — 1992 favorite."
Ice Cube Says These 5 L.A. Anthems Are His All-Time Favorites

Well, not a bad list.

Nobody can argue with the 2pac joints. I think Xzibit’s “Get Your Walk On” should have been an anthem. Then I actually like WC Mad Circle “Front, Back, Side to Side” as an anthem that tracks called “Curb Swervin” right?? Then “Bow Down”. Those are my 5

Noone has a problem with the fact that he put 2 of his own songs in the top 5?

it's okay but I don't even know the second joint he had on there. "Today Was a Good Day" can't be argued-- but "Bow Down" shoulda been on there instead of the other one.

I've mentioned on here that I've never bumped any of Cube's albums all the way through--and if I ever tried it wasn't a memorable experience. So all I know of Ice Cube are his bangers, and he has a lot of them.
...and that's pretty sad if I've been a known contributor on West Coast rap forums since the days of Trauma's www.westcoastkillaz.com and still don't know shit about the West Coast

'Six in the mornin' ground-breaking hood song that inspired 'Boyz n Hood', beat is dated but those lyrics 'six in the morning, fresh addidas sqeaking on the bathroom floor'' are legendary.
Cali Love - Now this an anthem, a song that can rocks crowds and everyone will shout the hook..Pac's biggest hit.
A Mad Max out in the desert video to match and Troutman killin it with the talkbox all over the song.
Did Dre, Pac and Roger ever perform this live? Any video of it?
Imagine if they did in front of 100,000 crowd in LA back in the day.
Pac's biggest hit single -
California Love is far and away the biggest at 4.8 million sales, an incredible number for a 90s song. The title track, Ambitionz Az a Ridah, 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, How Do You Want It and I Ain't Mad at Cha are either not too far from a million or over the mark.
Reaching number one on Billboard Hot 100
To Live Die in L.A. - Yew good sunny vibes, giving love to the city, culture and people.
Survive in South Central - Best song on Boyz N Hood soundtrack, one of the hardest hood songs ever, slamming beat, great flip of the sample and Cube on fire.
Should of been on D.C. first release, Cube repped S-Central just as hard as he did for Compton with N.W.A. a few years earlier.
''the craziest place on the planet
In L.A., heroes don't fly through the sky or stars
They live behind bars...
So be alert and stay calm
As you enter, the concrete Vietnam
You say, the strong survive
Shit, the strong even die, in South Central'' - 91 Cube
Was a Good Day - Never liked the beat and use of sample, but dope video and lyrics.
Surprisingly his biggest and his own personal favourite hit.

Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didn't even see a berry flashin' those high beams
No helicopter lookin' for a murder
Two in the morning, got the Fatburger
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read "Ice Cube's a Pimp" (Yeah)
Drunk as hell, but no throwin' up
Halfway home and my pager still blowin' up
Today I didn't even have to use my AK
I gotta say, it was a good day - 92 Cube
