2Pac - Changes

submitted by Farhad2000

1 decade 7 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

Changes is a rap song by Tupac Shakur, and is one of his most notable and most liked songs. First released posthumously on his album Greatest Hits, the song addresses issues close to Shakur's realm of influence, notably racism, police brutality, drugs and gang violence. It is often noted as one of the deepest and most heartfelt songs in Tupac's vast list of poetic works.

Sampling the melody and chorus of Bruce Hornsby and The Range's "The Way It Is", Changes nevertheless took a sharply different direction in mood and content from its base, as heard in its original version.

The Chris Hafner-directed music video is a compilation of a number of previous music videos Shakur released while he was still alive in addition to home videos and never-before-seen pictures. Upon release, the song went straight to #1 in many countries in Europe and around the world, and gained Shakur a broader audience. It was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Editing in 1999.

"Changes" was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards of 2000, it remains the only posthumous song to be nominated in this category.

Noticably, some verses in Changes were first featured in his previous release I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto.

Am glad that I can say that the prospect of a black president is a real possibility now.

So maybe things won't always be the same.

I think that's important to know that in our ever confusing and chaotic world.
