To Live & Die in LA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To Live & Die in L.A. is a single by rapper 2Pac (who at the time went by the name Makaveli) from his album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. It is considered by many to be one of the most memorable songs from the album. It starts with an interview originally performed on Streetside Radio; The host asks a man what he thinks of 2Pac's new album and he responds by saying he loves it. She then expresses that his music heightens the East/West Coast Feud, most likely referring to 2Pac's personal attack song toward The Notorious B.I.G., Hit 'Em Up. The song then starts as 2Pac reflects on his life, with Val Young singing the chorus.

It was later included on 2Pac's Greatest Hits album in 1998.

[edit] Trivia

• In the outro, Shakur refers to the song as "LA, California Love part 2, without gay-ass Dre", referring to their duet "California Love" on his previous album All Eyez on Me.
