Weekly dose of music

This week music video is one that means different things to different people. Rap/hip-pop in often misunderstood and filled with mixed messages but it also can be just as powerful as an other art form in telling a story or sending a message.
Tu Pac's Changes which was released posthumously and became one his greatest hits. In a similar vain to John Lennon's Imagine. Tu Pac sings about a place where there is no racism no hate and where we see each other as family. He covers a wide range of issues faced by people not just blacks but everyone and we still haven't solved these issues today.  Although we have lived to see a black president, we are still dealing with the same issues of racism and poverty.
So let's change the way we eat
Change the way we live
And change the way we treat each other


Of course let's not forget the fact that Tu Pac still lived by the gun, as gangster, and died by the gun. He after all had thug-life tattoo on his stomach.
