The infamous 1993 photo outside of Club Amazon in New York also features Redman and in another shot, features The Notorious B.I.G.

The Notorious B.I.G. We uncovered an Al Pereira photo thats a very infamous photo of Biggie, Redman, and Tupac together, she said. And also on that contact sheet, when we were going through it, there was a strip of images of Tupac and Nas. It was already funny, when Al tells the story of some big guy trying to get into his photo of Tupac and Redman, and that it turned out to be Biggie Smalls himself before he was signed. So on top of that, it turns out there had never been a photo of Tupac and Nas together. Al never realized it was on the contact sheet because at the time he took it, Nas wasnt famous at all. It was in 1993, and Nass first album didnt come out until 1994. He was just some kid, recording and making his way, and ruining the shot. And Al, being the kind of photographer that he is, was like Im going to get the photos of the people that I can sell to magazines, and that is Tupac and Biggie. So that photo, when we uncovered it, it meant a lot to Nas, because it also had one of his closest friends, who ended up passing away a few years after the photo was taken, in the photo with him.
