I don't see specific songs

[Vidrata]

Hello! I hope you can help me with this problem.

I can't see some of the songs like Hit 'Em Up or California Love by 2Pac while other friends can. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Hey @Vidrata

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

The availability of music on Spotify is up to the artist and their music label.

Do your friends live in a different country than you? Some music is only available in certain countries because of the request of the music labels. 

This thread by Spotify staff explains why some music is not available:

Same country. They can see the songs, I can't. For example the original "Hit 'Em Up" by 2Pac while I can't see it my friends can.

Are you in the US? Not all 2Pac's songs are available. The one I miss the most is the California Love remix.

You should see these ones though:

The Single Version is the one I can't see in Spotify. I really want it + the original California Love, but I just can't play them on the app/anywhere.
