In reply to Tino.

You don't even understand the context of what you're talking about. "California Love" was two years after the King riots and the video depicts California as a dark dystopia, a desolate state in ruins, and the song acknowledges some of the unrest ("Only in Cali where we riot, not rally, to live and die"). The tone of Usher's song is completely different from "California Love" and "Georgia On My Mind", the latter of which was written about a woman.
