"Since Tupac's "Changes" is already a remake of Bruce Hornsby's "The Way It Is", I figured it was a good idea to combine them for the best of both worlds.

The juxtaposition between Hornsby's verses about the Civil Rights movement and Tupac's verses about today's ghetto life, makes a powerful statement about ill treatment of African Americans then and now."

From Andrea Bonezzi 

If you are not familiar with this song, Bruce Hornsby and Tupac Shakur got together to talk to produce a song about African-American life pre-civil rights movement and post-cvil rights movement of the 1960s. And talked about the changes that went on in the 1960s, but that even though progress was made, there was still a lot of work yet to be done. Not talking about a utopia or dystopia for African-Americans or Americans in general regardless of race, but talking about the state of the African-American community and American life in general. And this is just a great song.
