Rare photo of Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight posing with fans outside El Squid Row nightclub in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on January 1, 1996.
According to the woman pictured, she was so fascinated by Tupac's diamond-encrusted Death Row chain that she reached out to touch it. Pac gently moved her hand away, had a conversation with them and agreed to take pictures.📸

One of the wildest things about this album (and there are plenty) is how the design & packaging team completely flubbed the artist name & title...
The intended title was actually:
Makaveli The Don
Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory
How did the entire Death Row staff miss this??

From Wack Room to Platinum - The Making of Hail Mary.
30 years ago today, November 5, 1996 The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory dropped under the name Makaveli.
Two months after 2Pac was taken. The first posthumous album. The final statement he finished himself. And at the center of it sits “Hail Mary” one of the most prophetic records in rap history born in the room they called WACK.
Death Row had the big rooms for Daz, Johnny J, & Dre before the latter 2 left the label. Then there was the smaller room where the unproven yet hungry producers converged.
E.D.I. Mean has told the story for years: Pac never walked in asking “Where’s Daz? Where’s Dre? What am I gonna do?” His whole mentality was he could make something with anybody. So he pulled from that room.
Daz also said the entire Makaveli album was created from producers posted up in the Wack Room.
Hurt-M-Badd (Tyrone Wrice) made the beat in 15–20 minutes. He locked the door, smoked, and touched a few sounds.
When engineer Lance Pierre who was first to hear the beat put the headphones on, he said: “Damn, Hurt… this sounds like a hip-hop funeral.” He told him Pac needed to hear it. Pac heard it, barely said a word, and took it.
Young Noble later said the beat felt too slow. Church-like. He didn’t even want to rap on it at first. Pac looked at Noble and told him he needed his voice on the record along with a hook.
Noble already had a verse written in a notebook. 2Pac wrote from the heart like he was talking, not writing. The whole song came together in under an hour.
The original hook Noble wrote was used towards the end of Hail Mary.
One of the greatest rap songs of all time came out of the room everybody called WACK.
The same room they said was for the ones who would never make it. 2Pac proved the opposite in real time.
The song featured - 2Pac, Kadafi, Noble & Prince Ital Joe, who have all since passed away. EDI Mean & Kastro are the only surviving members to be featured on Hail Mary.
30 years later and Hail Mary still feels like 2Pac’s official prayer anthem to the streets.

Chapter II: How the Rollin’ 60s Green-Lit 2Pac & Treach.
The night popped off with chairs and bottles flying. Faizon Love was there. He said Pac and Treach were whooping people while Eddie Griffin was performing on stage.
Smooth B described it as pure chaos: “It was like a scene from the Tazmanian Devil. These motherfuckas aired the joint out back to back.”
When he got to them and asked if Pac was good, Pac turned around and said, “Oh yeah, yeah, I’m good Smooth. Get the bitches.” So they cleared out and left.
After the Comedy Store brawl, the Rollin’ 60s put a green light on both of Treach and 2Pac.
The next day word got out: on sight. Treach confirmed they had been green-lit by the Rollin’ 60s, “it’s a green light is like on sight, people is gonna roll on you and handle business. It’s like a hit.” He says he linked with family in Compton, sat down, and explained they weren’t disrespecting the set, just defending themselves. The green light came off.
Other accounts put Pac more directly in the middle of the conflict resolution.
Napoleon said word on the street was that if the 60s saw Pac it was on sight, and that Pac went by himself after Treach left.
Poppa LQ, who was from the 60s set and knew Pac from Digital Underground days, said he saw him the next day. 2Pac told him Treach had gone back to Jersey and that he was left to deal with it. Poppa LQ said Pac was visibly upset because he felt he was left to handle the situation alone. He clarified that Pac never said Treach ran out on him during the fight itself—just that Treach was gone and he had to deal with the green light.
Poppa LQ says he got his people on the phone with Pac and they agreed to meet up. So 2Pac went and got alcohol, some chronic and pulled up to the spot. He posted up with the 60s, hashed it out, and they respected him for coming by himself.
That’s the aftermath: a green light after the Comedy Store brawl, and Pac handling the fallout directly with the Rollin’ 60s.

DJ Quik ALLEGEDLY exposes the dark side of Death Row Records, claiming internal violence and one man’s actions played a role in the chain of events that led to 2Pac being shot.
He points fingers at Trayvon Lane, challenging the narrative surrounding that night.
Was Death Row’s internal chaos bigger than people realized? 👀
