Tupac Returns...sort of
this is amazing stuff here
a hologram version of Tupac Shakur joins the festivities at Coachella with Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg Bill Savage went over to the (Stu Hart) house and one of the Hart kids was running around with his hair wet. Savage asked why his hair was wet. Stu said, "the little bast--d broke a vase this morning, so I stuck his head in the toilet. Want me to show you again?" |

This. Also, the implications of this kind of thing are a bit fucking insane as well - what if they take hologram Tupac on tour? Or use the same technology to start charging folks for Elvis concerts again?
I dunno. Everyone's all "OMG WOW SO COOL" but I find the whole thing a bit fucked up, honestly. |

I guess they set that shit up in Haiti so Pac could perform without admitting his death was staged. He's aged well.

It wasn't actually a hologram, it was a 19th century optical illusion combined with awesome CGI.

According to Dre, he asked for Tupac's mother permission to use the hologram in the concert and would have also had Nate Dogg as well but something went wrong with getting his hologram to work.

There's a show at Universal Studios Orlando that uses similar technology to make it look like the presenter is onstage with Christopher Walken.
This is a fun use of that, but I agree that we might be getting kinda close to "slippery slope" territory. All will be forgiven, though, if I could see The Beatles live... |

The hilarious thing is that everyone is talking about the interaction between Snoop and Pac that happens during 2 of Amerika'z Most Wanted...they fucking used the studio version of the song and let Snoop do all his parts live.
I don't understand how anyone who ever listened to 2Pac has never heard that song. |

Not gonna lie, I got chills watching it the first time and a little sad at the end. It's a great use of technology. Imagine what they'll be able to do in another 10-15 years.
I hope the rumors of a Tupac hologram tour aren't true though. It was a great one-shot deal and she be left at that. |

Not everybody follows hip hop...
There are a bunch of country songs that you probably don't know or that others don't know. |

That is not true..
Once they get to the level of "mainstream pop" then everyone knows about them.. I don't listen to Taylor Swift, but it doesn't mean I don't recognize her songs when I hear them.. Tupac, at that point, was pop.. His videos were on Mtv and the album in question was like number 9 as far as record sales in 1996.. You don't have to "follow" a certain type of music to know who mainstream acts are.. |

It depends on how popular they are and Taylor is or was popular but she's not that popular. She'll probably be a nobody in a few years or just have a few dedicated left over post-tweens that like her while she hangs on to her 15 minutes of fame by a thread. |

Shows how much I know, huh? Either way, I'd have a hard time hearing a top 40 song and going "hey it's that Taylor Swift song" unless the DJ name drops her before the song.
