The song was released as 2Pac's comeback single after his release from prison in 1995 and was his first single as a Death Row Records artist. This is perhaps 2Pac's best-known song and his most successful, reaching number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for two weeks (as a double-A side single with "How Do U Want It") and 5 weeks at number one in New Zealand. The song was nominated for a posthumous Grammy Award as a Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group (with Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman) in 1997. A popular remix version of the song appeared on his 1996 double album ''All Eyez on Me'', the first double album in the history of Death Row Records. ==Original version== The original version of the track was not available on any of Shakur's studio albums due to it being intended for Dr. Dre's shelved album ''The Chronic II: A New World Odor (Poppa's Got A Brand New Funk)''. But it can now be found on Shakur's compilation of ''Greatest Hits'' and on the United Kingdom version of ''All Eyez on Me''. The original version also exists in extended form and is 6:29 in length. This particular version was never released to the public and is now only available on 12" promo vinyl records.〔http://www.discogs.com/2Pac-California-Love/release/1607375〕 Aside from the extended track being on limited quantities of vinyl promo records, very few uploads to YouTube exist of the original, 6:29-length extended song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
