"California Love" is a song by American rapper 2Pac featuring fellow American rapper and producer Dr. Dre. The song was released December 3, 1995 as 2Pac's comeback single after his release from prison in 1995 and was his first single as the newest artist of Death Row Records. The original version is featured on the UK version of his fourth album, All Eyez on Me (1996), and is one of 2Pac's most widely known and most successful singles. It reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks (as a double A-side single with "How Do U Want It") and also topped the charts of Italy, New Zealand, and Sweden. The song was posthumously nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1997. The music video for "California Love", based on a concept by Jada Pinkett Smith and inspired by Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, was directed by Hype Williams.
