Puffy's beautiful transformation of a tired 80's pop song as a tribute to a fallen friend
VS.
The posthumous Pac desecration of Bruce Hornsby's master opus

I know where I stand.

I was hoping one of the sides was going to be Black Sabbath's "Changes."

Both unspeakable towers of tepid, teetering dung.

> a tired 80's pop song

Only if you mean that it has been overplayed by radio. Otherwise, bullshit...The ambiguitous nature of the song is brilliant, much like the majority of what the guy writes.

> Puffy's beautiful transformation

ridiculous

What was wrong with Changes?

"There's war in the streets, and war in the Middle East" is, in a strong and varied field, possibly the worst "I HAVE A POLITICAL OPINION YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO" lyric ever.

Littany of world shittiness

"We gotta make a change... It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we EAT..."!

Yeah, that's clearly the first place to start.

don't like the puffy much, but both the hornsby and the pac are great. i heard the hornsby in a subway recently, these two indieish college girls were grooving out a little (with all the nervous contempt that "grooving out" implies), and i did too, though even less. took me a second to realize it wasn't tupac.

"We gotta make a change... It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we EAT..."!

the way he picks back up after this, & the whole verse that follows this, is classic

In the UK we sent I'll Be Missing You to number one for something like 7 weeks which is remarkable, considering practically no one knew who Notorious BIG was
