No, the photo isn't real. It's a photoshopped edit of an original image showing 2Pac with Randy "Stretch" Walker, with Biggie's face added. Real photos of Biggie and 2Pac together exist, like one from 1993 by T. Eric Monroe, but this isn't one.

This is what Hip Hop is all about—bridging generations, preserving the culture, and making sure the next wave connects with the pioneers who built it. 🙌🏾 

And the vibes didn’t stop there—Trinidad slid over to The Culture Lab and connected with the one and only T.

Happy 'Stakes Is High' Day! 💿🔥 28 years ago today, De La Soul (@WeAreDeLaSoul) blessed the world with their fourth studio album. A change in sound, the legends of the group still maintained a level of high quality Hip-Hop they were known for. A CLASSIC! (📸: @tdoteric)
