5 most memorable songs from GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition

GTA San Andreas was set in 1992, and is chronologically the second game in the original trilogy. It showcased a great variety of music on a number of radio stations, but the genre that was captured best in the GTA San Andreas setting was 90s hip-hop.

CJ and the Grove Street Family come from the hood, or the ghetto as some people may call it. It is very fitting to have classic hood-style music that matches the protagonist's story.

This article will focus on the five most memorable songs in GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition.

GTA San Andreas has some of the best 90s hip-hop in any game

Unfortunately, CJ never made his musical debut in San Andreas, but below are five artists that did appear with the most memorable songs in the game.

1) Too $hort - The Ghetto

This song was one of the greatest hip-hop songs from 1990s. Unlike lot of rap music at the time, Too $hort tried to put across a more positive message about getting out of the ghetto.

This is a sentiment that all GTA San Andreas players share in the Definitive Edition while trying to help CJ and the Grove Street Family.
