Hollywood (YG and Shoreline Mafia song)

"Hollywood" is a song by American rapper YG and American hip hop group Shoreline Mafia. It was released on May 23, 2025 as the second single from the former's upcoming eighth studio album The Gentleman's Club. The song was produced by Ty Dolla Sign and Damn James.

Composition

The song uses a G-funk beat and pays homage to Los Angeles. It mentions baby oil and Diddy parties in the beginning. Later on, YG raps "All the pretty hoes gon' play this / Joey Badass gon' hate this", referencing the rapper's feuds with West Coast hip-hop artists.

Critical reception

Alexander Cole of HotNewHipHop gave a favorable review, writing "As for the song itself, this is a West Coast banger through and through. From the production to the performances, everyone is firing on all cylinders here." Shawn Grant of The Source commented "Shoreline Mafia brings raw edge, while Ty Dolla $ign's production blends bounce and polish".

Music video

The music video was released alongside the single. Shot in black-and-white, it opens with YG and Shoreline Mafia arriving in a black limousine in matching all-black suits. YG carries takeout from Marathon Burger, as a tribute to rapper Nipsey Hussle. The clip contains scenes of pouring champagne, lingerie-clad dancers and the rappers' similarly dressed entourage in a Soul Train line. It also features a cameo from Ty Dolla Sign, who makes the beat on a drum pad.
