I had, uh, never heard the Biggie song until just now. Thought it was going to be a cover; kinda relieved it wasn't.

Anyway, hard to make a fair call between a song I've lived with and loved for decades and one that I just heard for the first time five minutes ago and was relatively indifferent towards, but LL.

same except I bought the Biggie album and played it exactly once, so I had heard the song previously without taking notice

the only time i'll vote for liking an ll song ever.

I assume every vote for the biggie, biggie version, version counts twice, twice?

California Love write-in?

I always how laid back LL sounds in "Going Back to Cali" and the horn samples are awesome.

The production on LL’s cut is more imaginative but I still think Biggie’s is catchier.

I. DON'T. THINK. SO.

I like the Biggie song but I love the delivery of “she said - she liked - the ocean.”

love both and especially loved hearing biggy over west coast production at the time. he has so many quotable lines in that song. its close but i think i have to go with LL. one of his best.

this result has prompted me to play the only good ll cool j song and it's lost none of its appeal.
