The Mystery Of The 2Pac Shirt

If you want to show everyone that you are down with hip hop and play by your own rules the only option is the Tupac t-shirt. But why do they all look so shitty? Can you only buy a Tupac shirt at the swap meet? Did B.I.G. with his dying breath demand that his entire portfolio be used to corner the market on shitty airbrushed t-shirt manufacturers so that the market could be flooded with these monstrosities?

Don't get me wrong there are a few options out there other than shitty airbrushed shirts that give Tupac features a definitely feminine cast with the heavy eyelids and pouty lips.  What if you want to see your idol flipping off the world because he's such a rebel?  You're in luck!

This gem is marketed as the triple threat. I hope two of the threats are to pull his pants up and put on a god damn shirt.

There we go, now everyone knows you're not fucking around. I think that might even be a joint in his hands. NAUGHTY! Clearly when I see you coming the other way I'll be crossing the street because you mean business.  I bet you don't even have life insurance you rascal! Maybe you'd like to play it down a little? Voila! It's the closeup of Tupac's face complete with backwards bandana.

"Hey, I might not be able to rap as well as Biggy but look
at my sweet bandana guys!"

We may never get to the bottom of the mystery of why all Tupac shirts look so god damn terrible.  Maybe I'll put together a shirt myself that doesn't look like I printed it on my computer at home and ironed it onto a Hanes t-shirt and make my fortune? Or maybe I'll just make a shirt with this sweet looking dude on it.
