Bob Dylan has built an entire career out of doing the unexpected. Every time fans thought they had him figured out, he changed direction, whether that meant plugging in an electric guitar at Newport, disappearing from public life at the height of his fame, embracing country music, or recording gospel albums that divided his audience. Part of Dylan's appeal has always been that he refuses to operate according to anyone else's expectations. More than 60 years into his career, that unpredictability remains one of the defining traits of his legacy.

Many genres seem linked to a particular style of music, and while you do not have to be a fan of one to enjoy the other, it cannot be denied that the sound of some music genres instantly evoke their equivalent imagery. The most obvious example might be the link between country music and the Western genre, but while the phenomenal Lord of the Rings soundtrack has come to define fantasy, the genre has been linked to heavy metal music for decades, and there has even been a Lord of the Rings and Heavy Metal crossover.

Classic rockmythology has a habit of flattening history. Once a song becomes stadium-sized and generation-defining, it eventually follows one of two paths.

Classic rock history is full of near misses, but some of them feel genuinely impossible in hindsight. Entire careers have hinged on songs labels didn’t understand, singles bands thought were filler, or recordings that barely survived the cutting room floor. Looking back now, it’s easy to pretend the biggest anthems in rock history arrived fully formed—obvious hits destined for immortality from the second they were written.

How The Fugees Turned A Bob Dylan Classic Into A Hip-Hop Masterpiece

Some songs are sampled. Others are fully transformed. What Fugees did with "The Times They Are A-Changin'" falls much closer to the second category. 30 years ago, “Ready or Not” arrived sounding familiar and entirely new at the exact same time, pulling one of the most recognizable melodies in American songwriting history into the center of a dark, cinematic Hip-Hop anthem.

Despite the latter's box office numbers going through the roof, the formula is also starting to show its seams.
