From golden age era to g funk era, from g-funk era to gangsta rap, is there any song that you think it represent whole eras from late 80s to today on its own?
If you have to give only one example about what is west coast rap music to someone who has no idea about it, which song would it be?
Many times i think about it and it always ends up with same answer. "You know how we do it". Sometimes "to live and die in la" teases me to pick it but i'm not sure.
What do you think?

“California Love” for me

“California Love” for me
Yeah, main theme, piano riff, talk box, synth bass, represents the west coast very well. Why my choice is not califoria love, it doesnt have female vocal, guitar and lead.

Notable mentions for me (Hardest Mutha, The Streets, 5 on it. Where I wanna be. Beware of my crew)

Besides the obvious ones already mentioned: To Live and Die in LA - 2Pac, In California - Daz, Take a Ride - CJ Mac.

Probably G Thang or California Love. The 2Pac track is the one I hear most on the radio.
Shoutout to Straight Outta Compton and Regulate as well.
