Talk:Changes (Tupac Shakur song)

message: "We ain't ready, to see a black President"
Took a decade, wish Tupac was here to give some words.
 'It's time to fight back that's what Huey said/2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead' 
In the above lyrics from the song, is Huey a signficant real life character? --Reverieuk 22:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Growing up and hearing this song, this line stuck in my head more than any other, those seven words seemed to sum up the situation for what it was the best, a country part-willing but all together "not ready".
I doubt I am alone here, so really think some mention should be made to Obama's victory. The song was only recorded some 10-15 years ago, yet clearly so much has changed since then, and this song in my opinion demonstrates this better than anything else that comes to mind.

message: Ok...well first sentence is "Changes" is a hip hop song by the late Tupac Shakur who was one of the best rappers in the U.S."
Saying "one of the best rappers in the U.S." doesn't really seem too, encyclopedia like as it's an opinion. (a true one ;D but still)

message: Can anyone explain this sentence: "Fellow Bay Area rapper E-40 had used the sample already on his song, "Things'll Never Change," for his album Tha Hall of Game."?  I am not sure when E-40 recorded his song, but it is copyright 1996 (or at least the video is).  It seems then that Tupac used the sample first, as his song was recorded in 1992.  At any rate, should the sentence be changed to reflect this?  Additionally, one might wonder about the relevance of this kind of information. Taekwandean (talk) 11:11, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  E-40 or Tupac, priority on the sample? 

message: What recording is being used for what is written about the unreleased version of the song. It is correct based on what I have heard but is there a credible source for this information? 
Secondly, according to Big D, this was recorded in 1991. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlIQci2pNcE&t=285s&ab_channel=2PacForumChannel
