For anyone that hasn't seen this
Back in 2009, an amazing image came to singer/actor Tyrese Gibson in a dream: The Transformers star pictured Malcolm X baptizing rapper Tupac Shakur. When he woke up, he decided to paint what he had seen, and as he worked, many questions ran through his mind: "What if they met? What if they had joined forces to empower black people? What if?? What if??"
Yesterday, the people of the Internet discovered an old Twitpic of Gibson's painting, and many questions ran though their minds: Why is El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz baptizing someone in this picture? Why does Pac's famous "Thug Life" tattoo appear to read "TUG LAFE?" Why is that church sitting on a tree limb?
In the process of bashing the painting, a few bloggers discovered that the work, titled "What If?," was actually first seen in an old episode of MTV Cribs, where Gibson also unveiled one of his murals, done in the style of "The Last Supper," but with Biggie Smalls, Aaliyah, and Lisa "Left Eye"Lopez of TLC as stand-ins for the apostles and Marvin Gaye, sitting in the middle and wearing a crown of thorns, representing "the black musical Jesus," Gibson said
