Trivia[]
- Franklin Clinton, Lamar Davis, Patrick McReary, Jimmy De Santa, the Families and the Ballas have West Coast Classics as one of their favorite radio stations.
- In the real world, there has been controversy surrounding the rights to some of the songs on this in-game radio station. Specifically, on October 11, 2013, former Death Row Records artist and Tha Dogg Pound member Daz "Dat N*gga Daz" Dillinger issued a cease-and-desist letter to Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive for allegedly using two of his songs without authorization. According to Dillinger, Rockstar offered him $4,271 to allow the material to be used in the game; he declined, but the songs were used regardless. The songs are "C-Walk" by Kurupt and "Nothin' But the Cavi Hit" by Mack 10 and Tha Dogg Pound, which were both produced by Dillinger and included in the West Coast Classics station. In the order, Dillinger and his lawyers requested "a better offer", or recall and destroy unsold copies of the game. Dillinger has given the publisher fourteen days to comply with the suit.
- The radio station is most likely located in Davis as during a commercial on the station, a woman is heard saying "WCC, the city of Davis".
