Ice Cube Says These 5 L.A. Anthems Are His All-Time Favorites

[keond]

This song gotta be in everybody top 5

 

[Robbie3000]

He really put himself in not just one but TWO slots

I don’t see the man who calls himself the Westcoast Warlord being humble. Yay Yay!!

 

[IIVI]

Regulate is top 5 if you don't overthink it. It's at a special status where you forget how legendary it is because you've heard it so often.

When Nate drops those first few bars chances are you're vibing if you weren't already.

Dang near every single LA/SoCal native has been to Long Beach at some point.
shyt, if you spent any amount of significant time in LA you've probably been to the LB.

 

[MJ Truth]

I rate him highly too but even allowing for subjectivity...that's some serious ego.

Both of those songs legitimately belong though.

 

[Taadow]

I knew #2 and #4 were gonna be on this list.

Man I hate California Love. I'm the only person I know who can't stand that song.

Rest of his list is great though

Since you brought it up…I was never crazy about “California Love” myself, as a native Californian.
I can see why others like it, but it absolutely patronizing; much like “Going Back To Cali”

also, anybodies’ list without “We Can Freak It” is bogus

 

[Scientific Playa]

Anyone's top 5 list is subjective. I would have Dre Day in mine. And another vote for Warren G. Regulate.

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Modern day Ice Cube is insufferable.

 

[Mr. Negative]

song gets no love

 

[Flav]

Take off “How to survive” and add Boyz N Da Hood by Eazy E and I agree with his list.

 

[Reptile]

Man said "LA Anthems" yall naming songs about Compton and shyt lol

 

[DaveyDave]

I rate him highly too but even allowing for subjectivity...that's some serious ego.

It’s Ice Cube breh, not just some new strat rapper auto tune guy. He could have named 5 of his own songs and there wouldn’t be a problem.

 

[Heavy_Handz]

Let Me Ride

 

[QU Hectic]

Good list. Might be unpopular but I prefer “High Roller” over “6 in the Morning”.

 

[Skooby]

Shoulda been number 1

RIP Gonzoe.

 

[R=G]

To Live and Die in LA is what everybody thinks of. I play that more than anything.
