I like the original as well and it is a classic but naw, the remix is better.

 

[Kogami]

Both are good but original >>>

Heard the original on the radio a couple of hours ago. 22 years later and this song still sounds just as great as it did 22 years ago. Timeless music

 

[Po pimp]

I actually prefer the remix. Don’t know if it’s because the original ALWAYS got mad play, but the remix has more variation on the beat.

 

[TransJenner]

Always hated the remix


CALIIIIFORNIAAAAA LOVE
*beats changes *

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

The remix is so much better

Have to put the OG here too

 

[Mike the Executioner]

I can't decide between the two.

I remember buying the album and pissed that the remix was on there instead of the OG

Laylaw Discusses His History With Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Ghost-Producing "California Love (Remix)"

The Real Story Behind 2Pac & Dr. Dre’s “California Love (Remix)”
“I went on and played some music for him,” began ‘Law as he recalled his reunion with Dr. Dre in the mid-‘90s. “He heard a beat that he wanted, and it was the ‘California Love (Remix)’ beat. He was officially working on The Chronic 2 way back then. And that song was supposed to have been for his album. … So Dre did the song, a couple days later Roger [Troutman] come out [and] get on it. … A couple days later, ‘Pac hear it [and] ‘Pac get on it. A couple days later now it’s ‘Pac’s single. The very next day they wanna shoot the video. So within a week of us doing it, it became ‘Pac’s single.”

“So I’m like, ‘Alright, what’chu gonna do with my version? ‘Cause we have two versions of the song,’” he continued. “[Dre] said, ‘Your version’s the remix.’ I did it with my partner at the time, [D’Maq]. … [Dr. Dre] told me that he sent the credits into Suge [Knight] and Suge fukked it up. I called Suge. Suge said, ‘Dre never gave me the credits, ‘Law.’ … Mind you, Suge ain’t really worrying about putting my name on shyt. So I get in touch with Tupac, and ‘Pac telling me he trying to leave [Death Row Records], he just wanna finish these extra albums and he wanna leave. So, we just kicked back and just let [the situation] marinate.”
