@ravenwing613 Wow...provoking race arguements? Try dressing in street clothes and go to a fine diner, son. You don't have to be black to be prejudiced against. Wake up already.
This inspired Pac to do Changes. Thats kudos in my book for this . I knew this one as a child (I'm 24) before I discovered pac, so have respect peeps, or yer naw true music fans really.........
The greatest rappers listen to a veriety of music which inspires the greatest hits within hip hop. Hip hops music scene comes from rappers laying lyics over a beat, during the early stages where do you think those beats came from? you can't call yourself a fan of hip hop if you dont know your history.
WOW! WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THE MASTER KEYS MAN ON THOSE 88's MASTER BRUCE HORNSBY WITH HIS WONDERFUL PLAY MAKES THIS SONG MUSICALLY ON MY A-LIST SONGS OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
There is no way that any music can truthfully be stolen, because the producers have to get the permission from the original artist of the song and the person who originally produced it. Without that the song wouldn't have been able to even be released. They had to pay the people to use the instrumental. I hate hearing people say that someone "stole" their song or any. You need to remember the business part of music.
I just gotta put a stop to this argue thing. 2pac didnt fucking stole nothing from no body.
Changes came in 1998 and he died in 1996, it was remixed in studio, so unfortunately 2pac never heard Changes. And a producer who produced changes stole it, because thats whats producer do, sample a track and put beat and bass on it. And Im glad he did because he put this song to popularity, if there was no him i wouldnt be here listening to this great track! So stop arguing!
Could this be one of the greatest songs of all time? Very rarely do you come across a song which has a catchy tune as well as a strong message! Yet another terrific song from the 80's!! :)
I give opinions and all you can do is resort to personal attacks? This shows just how little your collective brains really are. You all think he's very talented or whatever,,,, I personally think he's nothing more than a thug gangsta rapper from the ghetto. It's okay to disagree without using personal attacks. It's okay that we all think differently. Are you gonna resort to personally attacking me cause I don't like pizza and you do??? Bahahahaha!!!! Personal attacks are what little kids do bec
2 pac was and still is a legend and not anyone will take that away he was the one and only his songs state a reason for making them his word or message to the world this song and pacs are cool...
Bahahahaha!!! Comparing a universally known legend in music to some big hair US 80's band. Bahahahaha,,,,I'm waiting to take a class in college to learn about Metallica,,,,lollololololol!
@kicknback123 you have no idea what your on about mate, no musician has done what 2pac has done. He spoke of issues that needed to and still need to change and took it to the grave. He stood for what he beleived in right up until he was assasinated. You have to have some serious balls to do that kind of shit. Stand in his shoes you pathetic fuck and i gurantee you would be curled up in the corner scared for your life...
So WTF, Pac wrote some words that tug on the heart strings, that still don't change that he is a thug gangsta rapping criminal. Anyone can write sappy words. Can't play no instruments, can't compose music, can't sing. "Accomplished poet" bahahahaha, yeah rightio,,,,,,show me where. He ain't no Yeats, Dickinson, or Shakespeare,,,,,GTFO,,,,lollololololol
@kicknback123 Ahhhh... Such an ignorant comment. Just as Metallica and Mozart were musicians who wrote completely different music, poets too can come in many forms. Just because YOU didn't see Mr Shakur as a poet does not mean that there are not people that do! And unless you knew Tupac personally, who are YOU to judge him? ...And he played the Piano. :)
Hey whatever, everyone's entitled to an opinion, I just happen to base my opinion on facts. I happen to think Pac wasn't that talented. If that makes me racist, then I guess I'm racist, but I'm still not changing my opinion cause you assholes call me a racist. I happen to think Randy Travis isn't that talented either, so WTF does that make me? You stupid Fucksticks can try to pull that racist bullshit on me, I don't really give a fuck.
@kicknback123 If you base your opinions on fact, you would have known that Tupac played piano when you said he "Can't play no instruments..." Sounds like your opinions come from biased guess-work to me. Nice try!
@kicknback123 You're just a dumb fuck. At least 2Pac was committed, devotional, and true to his art of music &beliefs. Your slutty ass mom just eloped with some faggot from the chinese restaurant and had you by mistake so I guess I can't blame too much on you either. I just wonder if you even went to elementary school... You can sure talk like a fucking prick, but just because you say your opinions are based on facts don't make them facts you dumb shit. You know dicks cuz you suck em every night
Some of you are just acting silly. Do you think Hornsby would want you to hate Tupac? Do you think Tupac would want you all hating on Hornsby? Getting angry over either song is just silly.
I don't disrespect Tupac , but this is Bruce Hornsby, why the hell are you hating on Hornsby when I don't think there are Hirnsby supporters hating on Tupac on his YouTube page!
@kicknback123 he was way more talented than your dumb ass. Emceeing is a talent that takes skill. To master this skill takes work and not everybody is good at it (even rappers). Also, u better believe that 2Pac wrote his own lyrics. If Mr. Hornsby didn't like Pac's version, he wouldn't have approved. Because of Pac, this song has garnished even more attention by younger folks. It's something Hip Hop does. Tupac went to a school for the Arts, he was a writer, poet and an actor.
I see we got pac haters around but that's just the way it is. All PAC wanted was to continue the massage and instead of doing the same, look at us fighting.. Shame on us.
@djcool60 Exactly. I'm a Pac fan and I think it's fuckin stupid arguing whether one song or another is better when they ain't even the same genre. They're both good, and they both got a good message. You think Pac chose to build Changes off this song because he DIDN'T like it? Dissin this song is like dissin Pac's music taste.
@sole21000 pac probably didnt hear the song untill after the producer or dj mixed it, so its probably not his musical taste. pacs version is better. the music on this is good, but vocals are terrible
@sole21000 EXACTLY! Everyone samples from people, Tupac actually had the knowledge and wisdom to actually recognize the talents of people who influenced him
i totally agree with you, tupac was a musician to, he wanted delivered the message to a different audience and he done that in the same language but at the same time it was in another language.
its sad what the likes of lady gaga and nicki minaj have done to modern day music, This is real music, straight from the soul with a rare passion hidden amongst it.
People need to stop being so ignorant and respect other genres of music, just because you dont like a certain type of music doesnt mean that its bad. Everybody has different taste.
I like this as well as 2pac's version, and so do a LOT of people. Stop being narrow minded.
BTW, I don't recall in any of my comments where I wrote anything racist or bigoted. Obviously you are delusional which would explain why you think Pac is talented. Bahahahaha!!!
Sorry all you Pac lovers can't face truth. I live in reality not a lie. PAC played no instruments, didn't compose any music, wrote words with the help of others, and can't sing. He has very little to no talent. He took a song added a few co-written words,,,,that is all. The REAL talent, and leg work, was done by the man above, Bruce Hornsby.
@kicknback123 your saying pac wrote the lyrics with the help of others but do you not realize bruce had help with the lyrics and the instruments as well? you know, by his band mates -.- and to say tupac has no talent is completely idiotic because all music genres have amazing songs or artists who sing/rap and tupac is the best rapper to say otherwise just makes you more of an idiot than you already are.
@kicknback123 Pac was a poet who mastered the art of poetry. There are very few people that can manipulate words like Pac and make you feel them the way he did. Sorry to break it to you but 2pac wrote all his lyrics. He was an independent artist up until the last year of his life and he became an icon.
@kicknback123 pac wasnt a producer but pac did take many some of his own beats and pac wrote all his words he only took the chrous from this because it linked in what he was saying and the pac changed the beat and the singer a little amnd pac wasnt a singer he was a rapper
I remember pac stated that he did not grow up on rap. It was actually pop 80's music ...hornsby, stevie wonder, spandau ballet and cameo just to name a few..Even Kanye stated that he has a wide variety of taste in music.
@NORHardstyleUploads i don't believe that there is a version played by a black slave. go and find a term that is relevant to today's society you ignorant dumb fuck.
hionestly i like both songs...... they both get over 2 thunbs up ...... its fucking brillant with both songs.... and im about to download both saongs right now ......Plus both songs make u think about life and the people in it and it puts aside all the bad things that is happening now and just relaes you to think of only happy thoughts....... but thats my opnipn .... its no need agruing over which song is better they are both classics and soothing
I have never commented on the comparison between this and 2Pac. However, it seems this is all some want to comment on. 2Pac sampled, with class, and he did it, as a credit to himself as a musician, in his own right. This is the real deal, though. To quote something so we can all relate, better recognize!
@kicknback123 stupid comparison. tupac is arguably the greatest rapper who ever lived. weird al is a footnote musical comic who satarised pop culture. pac was taking deep themes and experiences and universalising them. he was connecting with millions of ppl who were denied a voice. pac spat hope and solace. weird al was mocking pop culture that usurped real self expression and social commentary. its like comparing the beastie boys to bill hicks.pacs genius is obvious. as is your ignorance.
it makes me sick that people would argue over who they hate when both artists would be side by side ideologically in a heart beat. are you fuckin crazy? do you ppl even listen to the lyrics or the meaning of the song, or are you just concerned with putting those ignorant negros/ stupid white boys down? anyone who loves either song should respect and cherish the other. hornsby is basically rapping in his context and pac was using his insanely diverse set of influences to spit a universal massage.
you people are ridiculous. both songs are amazing pieces of work. if you truly love one then you should really like the other too. half the people here wouldnt be here if it werent for pac, and if you like pac then you should realise the dude was prolific and diverse in his influences. the dude loved kate bush ffs. pacs song is sacred because it is profound, hopeful, and hits people deep. he appropriated a counter intuitive source to lay that track on. hornsby was the g that made it. respect.
Read the warnings from Jesus about the 'Strange Sounds' that are being heard around the world. You can find the prophecy at Prophecies Org, in Chapter 81 Book 12
Please educate yourself, the frequencies are extremely harmful mind control assaults by the NWO and they are not going to stop.
Read the Truth about Revelation 12 at the site as well. The Obama prophecies are going to shock you!
It is also important that you read about the false rapture that is coming, Chapter 78 Book 12.
This is a great song and so is Changes by 2Pac. Everyone needs to calm down, they're both amazing songs. Please do not compare them. They're both too good for that. 2Pac was the greatest rapper of all time and Bruce Hornsby is one of the greatest singers ever. They're both greats. End of story. Enjoy the music.
@larrypope123 , bahahahaha,,,,,yeah sure. I graduated when this song came out, PAC was still eating fruit loops and steeling kids lunch money in elementary school when this song was released! Bahahahaha!
@kicknback123 covert racist idiot, ignorantly commenting on and pathetically attempting to misrepresent two artists that completely transcend his intellect, creed and bigotry.
Some people miss the forest for the trees!!! Its all about the MESSAGE not who did it better. Once you mature, come back and lets have a discussion. These words are so relevant today
@larrypope123 I see you're joking right just to get someones goat,to yank their chain per-say,it gotta be that way,cause Tupac was ten years old in 1986 when this classic was released,Look at the video the hair styles if nothing else,the way it was in 1986.
@larrypope123 If nothing else read the credits at the top,(uploaded by Bruce Hornsby),by Bruce Hornsby and the Range from their 1986 album (Vinyl) The Way it Is. Tupac was ten check his Bio,or google Changes and see who covered who.oh and welcome to 1986 it was a very good year (I remember it well) as Maurice Chevalier use to sing.Yeah yeah I know who is that,google and find out. Course youtube has that song as well. Peace!!!
You're right,,,,,,"PAC killed it". He ghettofied it, which to me is killing it. Hornsby wrote the song, composed the music, and played the piano and sung it. What did PAC do,,,,well, he threw a few lines in. Bahahahaha, that's not talent.
@kicknback123 idiot. pac articulated reality. you are unable to conceive reality. pacs songs were inherently universalist and transcendental. your words are ignorant, bigotted, conceited and blind. pac would have accepted idiots like you exist, but bruce would have spat in your face.
@Euphanaz17 Bruce Hornsby is a fan of Tupac and he stated he really liked Tupac's "Changes." Bruce also said that he was "floored by his creativity" and "thought he was so clever, and really profound, and deep."
@Fubikon sampled =/= covered. he could have used any tune . the lyrics lead in rap. its a different context. the fact he had the genius to use this of all things, a completely obscure track in his world just goes to show how versed he is.
@hosdih Who cares what you say? Bruce Hornsby and The Range's is the original and that can not erased. Bruce was the one who wrote and sang this song. Tupac never made this song. This song was released in 1986.
I see all these kids who come here looking for some some song Tu-Pac stole and tried to make his and they hear the real deal that was a #1 hit before they were a itch in their daddy's pants, and they whine and say "this sucks" go look at Tu-Pac's album credits he may have given Bruce credit on his own song
@horseboyken only most pac fans appreciate both songs, the number one idiot is covert racist idiots like you, who have no understanding of either song or of music in general. most pac fans like this song because of its meaning, and the fact it was sampled. to pretentious bigots like you, this might as well be a ring tone.
@kinewmajones Seems the only Racist around here is YOU, I never brought color or race into my statement, I speak about the music not some black power agenda your on
so take your Black Militant Bullshit your fucking black fucking panther louis farrakan motherfucker and fuck off , there now you can spout off that I'm being racist

Sorry all you Pac lovers can't face truth. I live in reality not a lie. PAC played no instruments, didn't compose any music, wrote words with the help of others, and can't sing. He has very little to no talent. He took a song added a few co-written words,,,,that is all. The REAL talent, and leg work, was done by the man above, Bruce Hornsby.

@kicknback123 your saying pac wrote the lyrics with the help of others but do you not realize bruce had help with the lyrics and the instruments as well? you know, by his band mates -.- and to say tupac has no talent is completely idiotic because all music genres have amazing songs or artists who sing/rap and tupac is the best rapper to say otherwise just makes you more of an idiot than you already are.

@kicknback123 Pac was a poet who mastered the art of poetry. There are very few people that can manipulate words like Pac and make you feel them the way he did. Sorry to break it to you but 2pac wrote all his lyrics. He was an independent artist up until the last year of his life and he became an icon.

@kicknback123 pac wasnt a producer but pac did take many some of his own beats and pac wrote all his words he only took the chrous from this because it linked in what he was saying and the pac changed the beat and the singer a little amnd pac wasnt a singer he was a rapper

I remember pac stated that he did not grow up on rap. It was actually pop 80's music ...hornsby, stevie wonder, spandau ballet and cameo just to name a few..Even Kanye stated that he has a wide variety of taste in music.

I have never commented on the comparison between this and 2Pac. However, it seems this is all some want to comment on. 2Pac sampled, with class, and he did it, as a credit to himself as a musician, in his own right. This is the real deal, though. To quote something so we can all relate, better recognize!

kicknback123 2 weeks ago
@kicknback123 stupid comparison. tupac is arguably the greatest rapper who ever lived. weird al is a footnote musical comic who satarised pop culture. pac was taking deep themes and experiences and universalising them. he was connecting with millions of ppl who were denied a voice. pac spat hope and solace. weird al was mocking pop culture that usurped real self expression and social commentary. its like comparing the beastie boys to bill hicks.pacs genius is obvious. as is your ignorance.

it makes me sick that people would argue over who they hate when both artists would be side by side ideologically in a heart beat. are you fuckin crazy? do you ppl even listen to the lyrics or the meaning of the song, or are you just concerned with putting those ignorant negros/ stupid white boys down? anyone who loves either song should respect and cherish the other. hornsby is basically rapping in his context and pac was using his insanely diverse set of influences to spit a universal massage.

Read the warnings from Jesus about the 'Strange Sounds' that are being heard around the world. You can find the prophecy at Prophecies Org, in Chapter 81 Book 12
Please educate yourself, the frequencies are extremely harmful mind control assaults by the NWO and they are not going to stop.
Read the Truth about Revelation 12 at the site as well. The Obama prophecies are going to shock you!
It is also important that you read about the false rapture that is coming, Chapter 78 Book 12.

This is a great song and so is Changes by 2Pac. Everyone needs to calm down, they're both amazing songs. Please do not compare them. They're both too good for that. 2Pac was the greatest rapper of all time and Bruce Hornsby is one of the greatest singers ever. They're both greats. End of story. Enjoy the music.
