Tres Generaciones Tequila and Billboard partnered for a year-long celebration of music's power, culminating in a Los Angeles event highlighting the city's musical legacy.
A 50 year old brand, introduced by the family that elevated tequila to a symbol of Mexican pride, and Billboard are partnering together for a year-long celebration of music’s transformative power to unveil the top songs that have energized, uplifted and excited six select cities, known as the ‘Get Up Anthems.’ These playlists are curated through a mix of editorial insight and data analytics, and honor the songs that define each city’s history and culture.
We’re at the last stop of the six city Get Up Anthem’s tour: Los Angeles—quintessential for the city of dreams. Inside a Glendale studio, adorned with moodiness and odes to the city’s star quality, hip-hop heavyweights The Game and D Smoke sat alongside Billboard editor Carl Lamarre. Hosted by Rocsi Diaz, the roundtable celebrated LA’s storied musical legacy, with “It Was a Good Day” serving as the focal point. Over glasses of Tres Generaciones Tequila, the group delved into the song’s enduring impact, debating its place within the pantheon of West Coast classics and its role in shaping the cultural identity of Los Angeles. The song’s smooth production, vivid storytelling, and cultural resonance immortalize it as a cornerstone of Los Angeles’ musical legacy. Over a soulful, nostalgic beat, Ice Cube captures a rare day of peace and joy amidst the turbulence of South Central LA, embodying the broader West Coast aesthetic of the era. The track’s production, helmed by DJ Pooh, achieves emotional depth through masterful simplicity. Built around a sample from The Isley Brothers’ the beat reimagines its dreamy guitar riffs in a hip-hop framework, exuding nostalgia and serenity. Understated elements—a mellow bassline, restrained drum programming, and sparse melodic keys—amplify Cube’s narrative, letting his words drive the track. The relaxed tempo and sunlit vibe epitomize G-funk’s laid-back yet resonant sound, placing it firmly in the lineage of West Coast greats like Dr. Dre while maintaining Ice Cube’s unique identity
