Things Done Changed

"Things Done Changed" is the second track and first song track from The Notorious B.I.G.'s debut album Ready to Die. The songs deals with how life in the ghetto has changed since B.I.G.'s childhood. During the final verse, he mentions that his mother, Voletta Wallace, had breast cancer, which is also referenced in the biopic film Notorious. The hook of the song is a sample from Biz Markie's song "The Vapors", when he says "Back in the day", and Dr. Dre's song "Lil Ghetto Boy" (from his 1992 album The Chronic), sampling Dre's line: "Things done changed on this side/ Remember they used to thump, but now they blast, right?".
