"Changes" is a rap song by 2Pac, and is one of his most notable and popular songs. Released initially posthumously on his album Greatest Hits, the song addresses issues close to 2Pac's era of influence, notably racism, police brutality, drugs and gang violence.
Sampling the melody of Bruce Hornsby and The Range's "The Way It Is", Changes nevertheless took a sharply different direction in mood yet did not stray far from Hornsby's underlying message about racism and segregation.
The Chris Hafner-directed music video is a compilation of a number of previous music videos 2Pac released 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 2Pac 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. One verse in Changes was first featured in his previous release I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto. There is also a notable remix of the song mashed up with Nelly Furtado's "All Good Things (Come to an End)". The "Huey" that 2Pac mentions in the song is Black Panther Party activist Huey P. Newton.
