As the quintessential SoCal rapper, it’s pretty much obligatory for 2Pac to have a few songs about driving. In this track from 1996’s All Eyez on Me, 2Pac sets the scene, as he cruises down the streets of LA in his tricked-out Mercedes Benz. Along the way, he checks out a Lexus and a Chevy Big Body.
50 Cent is known for owning an impressive collection of cars, so it’s no surprise that he touts his passion in this 2005 song off The Massacre. While the video features 50 in a yellow Ferrari convertible, he raps about his Mercedes Benz – calling out the super shiny chrome finish on his rims. He also gives a shout-out to Dayton spokes – a classic, ...

In 1948, blues artist K.C. Douglas co-wrote and recorded this ode to the Mercury – a premium, yet affordable line of cars that Ford produced until 2010. While countless artists have since covered the tune (including Meat Loaf, the Steve Miller Band, and Dwight Yoakam), Alan Jacksonmade it a Top Five country song in 1993.
In this wistful ballad off 2013’s Yours Truly, Ariana Grandeskillfully compares her rocky relationship to a trip in a car – looking back through a rearview mirror to the bumps and turns that she and her partner faced. Stuck in traffic and feeling the pressure to make a decision, she wishes that they could simply be back on the smooth roads of Honey...
Bass music pioneers Bass Mechanic (aka Neil Case and DJ Billy E) began their collaborations in a Miami car shop, creating test tones for car subwoofers. It’s easy to imagine this bass-heavy electro song (off 1999’s V 5.0) pumping on the stereo while driving down the palm-lined highways.
A teenage girl goes behind her father’s back to drive his Ford Thunderbird in this catchy 1966 number from The Beach Boys. As any fan knows, the SoCal group loved cars almost as much as they loved surfing, and they paid tribute to another Ford (the 1932 Model 18) just a few years earlier in “Little Deuce Coupe.”
Beastie Boys take on the role of a blue-collar criminal in this gem from 1989’s Paul’s Boutique. As he drives across the country, our anti-hero is hot-wiring cars, stealing from Kmart, and trying to evade the police along the way. He might not always be successful, but at least he’s got an 8-track player and an early cell phone to keep him company.
In this upbeat tune off 1966’s Rubber Soul, The Beatlessing about a girl with big dreams, who flirtily asks a boy to be her chauffeur. However, the song wasn’t quite as innocent as it seems. Years later, guitarist George Harrison penned his own ode to driving with “Faster” – but this time, it was actually about cars, and inspired by his 1977 travel...
2002’s Sea Change revolved around themes of loneliness, solitude, and heartbreak.
