California love!

1-California…knows how to party
California…knows how to party
In the citaaay of L.A.
In the citaaay of good ol’ Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!

Verse One: Dr. Dre

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state that’s untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that sunshine state with a bomb hemp beat
the state where ya never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
lean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends
I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunes
ever since honeys was wearin sassoon
Now it’s ’95 and they clock me and watch me
Diamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace
It’s all good, from Diego to tha Bay
Your city is tha bomb if your city makin pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Dre puttin it down for
Californ-i-a
(repeat 1)

2-Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it shake it shake it…

Verse Two: 2Pac

Out on bail fresh outta jail, California dreamin
Soon as I stepped on the scene, I’m hearin hoochies screamin
Fiendin for money and alcohol
the life of a west side playa where cowards die
Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die
In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies (that’s right)
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do
Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews
Famous cause we program worldwide
Let’em recognize from Long Beach to Rose Grands
Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it’s west side
So you know the row won’t bow down to no man
Say what you say
But give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of L.A.
From Oakland to Sacktown
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
Give me love!
(rpt 1)

(dre) now make it shake…

2Pac – ‘Wanted Dead or Alive – (OG)
Featuring: Snoop Dogg
Written by: 2Pac & Snoop Dogg
Song Producer: Daz Dillinger
Album: “Gridlock’d” Soundtrack
Date of Release: 1/28/97
Record Label: Death Row / Interscope
Genre: West Coast Rap
“Wanted Dead or Alive” is a collaboration song by Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, & Daz Dillinger, released as a single from the Gridlock’d (Original Soundtrack). It was made into a video. The video showed the cops trying to catch Snoop Dogg and clips of the deceased rapper Tupac Shakur. The storyline is similar to “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted”. The video is directed by Scott Kalvert.

Gridlock’d Facts:
Gridlock’d is a 1997 film starring Tupac Shakur, Tim Roth, and Thandie Newton. It was the directorial debut of Vondie Curtis-Hall, who also wrote the story and screenplay. The film’s opening was relatively low, despite critical acclaim for its powerful and gritty substance. Its opening weekend netted $3,603,049 and it finished finally at only $5.5 million. The film paid tribute to star Tupac Shakur who had been murdered several months before the film’s release.

Plot:
Set in Detroit, Heroin addicts Spoon (Tupac Shakur) and Stretch (Tim Roth) decide to kick their habit after their best friend and bandmate, Cookie (Thandie Newton), overdoses on her first hit. Throughout a disastrous day, the two addicts dodge police and local criminals while struggling with an apathetic government bureaucracy that bars their entrance into a rehabilitation program.

— In her review for The New York Times, Janet Maslin praised Shakur’s performance: “He played this part with an appealing mix of presence, confidence and humor”. Desson Howe, in his review for the Washington Post, wrote, “Shakur and Roth, who seem born for these roles, are allowed to take charge – and have fun doing it”. USA Today gave the film three out of four stars and felt that Hall had not “latched onto a particularly original notion of city blight. But he knows how to mine the humor in such desperation”. Entertainment Weekly gave the film “B” rating and Owen Gleiberman wrote, “Gridlock’d doesn’t have the imaginative vision of a movie like Trainspotting, yet it’s more literally true to the haphazard torpor of the junkie life than anything we’ve seen on screen since Drugstore Cowboy … Curtis Hall has caught the bottom-feeder enervation of heroin addiction”.[ —
