Here you go some exclusive unseen photos posted by a fan named Nicolek Woodall (instagram) with 2Pac and Suge Knight photographed past midnight in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, January 1, 1996.
This is her story behind these pictures.
”Found these memories today! 22 years ago, in Cabo, San Lucas on New Years Eve, we met Tupac and Suge Knight stumbling out of El Squid Row. I first saw his necklace and grabbed it in disbelief at how blingy and huge it was. I then looked up to see who he was. He gently took my hand off his necklace and we made small talk. No security anywhere, they were just hanging out like we were and oddly, no one recognized them? We chatted for a bit and they invited us back to their place. He was super cool but we decided that was not a good idea and went home. Haha. 9 months later Tupac died at the age of 25.”
Cabo San Lucas is a resort city at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur. Cabo has been rated as one of Mexico’s top 5 tourist destinations; it is known for its beaches, scuba diving locations, balnearios, the sea arch El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, and marine life. / wikipedia
Yo, i was there with my twin brother. I also had an intimate conversation with pac. I was coming down the stairs to the main dance floor and nobody was really in El squid row yet. It was a 50 dollar fee to have dinner at the club so people were coming in late. I saw Tupac on the dance floor with a big black guy behind him. I thought it was his bodyguard. I didn’t know who suge night was at the time. Tupac looked at me funny cause he saw me looking at him trying to figure out how I recognized him. Then it hit me and I ran up to him and yelled… Tupac, holy shit, you’re bad ass dude. And suge was trying to let me know to quiet down a bit. I also thought the death row chain was actually a big ass T for Tupac. I was pretty drunk already too. Anyway we chilled for a while. I asked him about when he was going to put out some more albums and he said just wait. I was down on vacation with my twin bro and my dad. We had been there 2 weeks prior to new years and a week after. You are so right that nobody knew who he was. Tupac saw me talking to a lot of girls coming into the club and asked me to hook him up. I said sure, hell yeah. I was grabbing every girl I knew in squid row and introducing him to them but they were all like… Nice to meet you Tupac and more interested in getting drunk with me and a senator from Colorado who was upstairs paying for all the drinks. I said, sorry dude but you are Tupac and on your own bud. He was super down to earth and chill. I only wish I had a desposable camera or had gotten an autograph. I also wish I would have chilled with him longer. When I got back to San diego a week after new years all eyes on me came out and changed rap forever. My name is Michael Fitzpatrick, we might have met who ever posted this.
I was there too, with my brother. Pablo was the M.C. that night, and he still works there. I just saw Tupac standing outside Squid Row. I drove to Cabo in my jeep. I was 23. Now 51.
