I'll start. I'm sorry but California Love is a boring ass song.

The first ten seconds of the beat is amazing, but then it just gets so repetitive. The flows sound uninspired and the lyrics aren't anything special.

I do respect that's its a classic West Coast anthem, but damn if that song don't put me to sleep 😴😴😴

im not saying its a bad song, its not, but i dont understand why free bird is played so much or how it became the meme song.

I think Freebird is a pre-Internet meme, like "where's the beef" was. When someone would take song requests, shouting out Freebird was asking for a song known for versions with 20 minute dueling guitar solos. Basically a ridiculous and over the top request.

It is a good song since it's still popular today in a serious sense many times, which is what has kept it still somewhat relevant in pop culture.
