'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.

Quote
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
