A Thematic Analysis Of Tupac's Song 'Changes'

Decent Essays
Tupac Shakur’s song “Changes.” This song delivers a pretty direct message about the need for a change in the world. The title alone gives that away, but the lyrics expose the speaker’s feelings as well as the problem that needs to be changed. Tupac directly talks about the problems with drugs and violence in our society. He addresses the factors of race and economic status in the song. The artist effectively uses pathos by appealing directly to the listeners feelings. His Use of disturbing images provokes the listener to actually pay attention to the song. HE uses images such as, “Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare.” No human with any sense of morals could read or hear this line of the song

    When I think of the sentence where Tupac says in his poem “In the Depths of Solitude” “I exists in the depths of solitude / pondering my true goal” (1-2). I see it as him saying he is alone and, having to find what his purpose in life is. When we get time to think to ourselves we see things in a different light that we might not have seen with others around us. Tupac was a very successful rapper he in my opinion probably only got a couple of minutes alone. However like many others that are always surrounded by people they tend to be the loneliest of them all.…

From the emergence of rock n’ roll in the 1950s, to the rise of disco in the 1970s, and the popularity of R&B and hip-hop in the 21st century.
