Nas always high. He might have forgotten about it?
One of the first reasons I thought of.

Ahead of his time even with the gear.
That shirt with some distressed skinnies today would be
But Biohazard incorparated some mild rap elements in to their music. And they're from Brooklyn.
I was wondering where that shirt came from too. Seems out of character for Nas at that time.

Nicca are you retarded?
Photographers keep contact sheets and film reels stored and forgotten about for years all the time
The photographer took the parts of the photos he wanted and forgot about the reels. It happens all the time and its not that serious. You really think back in 93 he'd know those throwaway photos (to him) would end up being the only photos of nas and pac together? let alone have so many legends in a photo all at once?
Stop thinking like a fanboy and use common sense

It was rare to get a Nas photo regardless. ..much less all of them... So again, it's odd that it was never published in 20 years.

But i'm telling you it's not odd because it happens with photography all the time. Its the nature of film photography.
I wrote that post without looking at any info and i was proved correct because these photos would've STILL been unreleased had the studio releasing the book not intervened and let the photographer know nas was in them pics when they were searching through the contact sheets looking for the famous big and pac pic...the photographer had no clue and thought nas was some random kid
So again, its not odd it never saw the light of day. Photographers use the photos they want at that time and forget about the reels. You got to understand. Most pro film photographers have 100's of reels...and i garauntee the photographer only looked at them reels when it pertained to the big and pac photo because the ones with nas in were 'duds'
You can tell this because he's made citations cutting out nas of the parts he wanted in a couple of the photos and the photos in general aren't good shots on a technical level.
They are literally only getting released because they're the only photos of nas and pac together that exist

That's not a photography issue. That's a recognition issue by someone behind the lens who was ignorant.
A lot goes in to photography but I too have shot for events where public figures were present. High up on the list is to identify the subjects. Many of the photogs I knew always carried a notepad. So did I.
And then we'd vet the names to an editor to determine the significance of all shots taking into account the subjects captured.
I dunno... So many people who really werent with the culture were capturing iconic moments. And still do to this day.... We need more people who are really about the culture in all aspects of it ...including behind the scenes.
And Ive discovered that some misinformation is going on here or a lack of clarity.
That Photo is NOT from any homecoming as seemingly insinuated by @IllmaticDelta after posting that book excerpt (not saying that was your intent)...
That photo is from the Palladium in NYC.
Again it's an ICONIC shot that has been widely circulated. ...ALL with nas not in the frame. And many with Redman not in the frame.
Still odd.
Also, this was from July 1993. Nas started work on Illmatic in 1992 and was buzzing around NYC heavy leading up to Illmatic's realease.
Still odd to me. *In 20 years the Redman images were released. But not Nas?
This ICONIC photo that has been widely circulated and Nas never spoke on it in so many interviews where he is asked about the times he and Pac met.
As the homie said, Nas literally might have smoked away so many memories
Or maybe might not have?
