Rare Story About 2Pac on the set of Gridlock’d by a Fan

I got a story to tell. I met Tupac while he was filming Gridlock’d. It was at Lacy Street Studios, May 1996. I remember the day clearly, it was the afternoon and the weather was hot as hell. Anyway, I happened to meet him through pure luck. I had just got a job working at Domino’s Pizza on West Avenue and somebody put in a order for large quantities of food (I think it was Suge Knight) and I was the one who got to deliver the food to his trailer. When I arrived on the back-lot he was surrounded by a huge entourage of actors, rappers, family, bodyguards, assistants, etc you name it, they were all there, his whole crew. When I delivered the food I asked him for his autograph. He said “after i eat my buffalo wings.” He was high as F**k but he let me have an autograph. I told him I been a fan since his Digital Underground days. He said “those were the best days of my life,” and that he was glad to be working on the movie. And that since getting out of jail it had been hard getting any acting roles in Hollywood and that now he was gonna show how much of a hard worker he was. That same day Samuel Jackson came to his trailer and was trying to show him a script for this movie “187” but they wouldn’t let him in the trailer.

After Pac left to go to a scene, I stayed to listen to some of the music the Outlawz was playing. They said it was for their upcoming Outlaws Immortal LP and that they was just finishing up songs for the soundtrack to the movie. Most of these tracks later ended up on the makaveli bootlegs. But at the time they was unheard of and unreleased.

I was only there for a short time but from what I saw he seemed like a real cool dude, real funny, real humble. Here’s the photo, I just found it recently so I thought I’d share it with his fans online.
