Tupac Shakur would have been 43 today and although he is no longer with us, he would sure be proud of all the babies -- yes, babies -- honoring him through their Tupac Shakur baby apparel.
Etsy shop owners Lisa and Ian Adams make one-piece bodysuits in homage to the late rapper and other iconic pop culture figures. They started their Philadelphia-based company 'Feisty Babies' to show the familial connection that they share. Both growing up in the 80s and 90s, Lisa and Ian have strong ties to pop culture icons like Tupac. They combine their taste in music and love for their three young kids with their skill sets -- Ian is a graphic designer and Lisa is an illustrator -- in order to make the clothes.
One of the Tupac-inspired baby onesies features a decal of his face and another one reads "Thug Life" across the back.
