LA needs a new Anthem!

It's been 30 years and we're still rockin' Randy Newman. Don't get me wrong, Randy Newman can make a great jingle, though he does deserve the grief that Seth McFarlane gives him. Numerous acts have put together decent anthems for New York, Atlanta has a great one (gotta love Luda), Will Smith gave Miami its biggest shout, and have you heard the new Common CD??? If you haven't, I've taken the liberty of adding Chi-Town's new anthem with none other than Kanye and Common. It kills. Yes, I've turned green with envy, and I beg for Snoop, Game, Dre, Counting Crows, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park, shit, SOMEBODY to put up a new Anthem for the native Angelenos! Note: To Live and Die in LA is NOT an anthem, it's a tribute, similar to the Eagles' New York Minute. Don't make me have to try to write my own!

Check out Common's Southside with Kanye West.....

as much as i love southside, and believe me i love southside very much (probably my second favorite song on common's album), i would still have to say that the song "home" by ye and john legend is a better anthem for chicago. this being said im not quite sure why ye decided to remake the song with chris martin, naming it "homecoming" and put it on his upcoming album.
