"California Love" stands as a West Coast anthem blending 2Pac’s urgency and Dr. Dre’s polished production, with Roger Troutman’s talk box adding infectious funk. Its cinematic flair, quick creation, and Grammy nod cement its appeal, though some critique its reliance on atmosphere over depth. Similarly, Chuck Berry’s "Johnny B.
