2pac Performs Live At The Coachella Concert... Watch The Performance

Wow!! technology is good. How can you raise someone from the dead to perform at a conceret?

Well that is what happned yesterday.... sort of.

Hologram creator Nick Smith recently  brought the iconic rapper back to life for yesterday's Snoop and  Dr. Dre set Coachella concert. The Tupac image,which was all Dr. Dre's idea, was created by Hologram creator Nick Smith in the very realistic likeness of the late rapper .He even perormed his tracks "Hail Mary" and "2 of Americaz Most Wanted."

According to Mtv,

 Smith said he wasn't allowed to talk about the creative aspects of the production — including how the hologram was able to seemingly perform the set in synch with Snoop and whether all the vocals were 'Pac's — but he did say that his company has the ability to recreate long-dead figures and visually recreate them in the studio. "You can take their likenesses and voice and ... take people that haven't done concerts before or perform music they haven't sung and digitally recreate it," he said.

The shirtless Timbaland-wearing Tupac hologram (which cost anywhere from 100K-400K) opened up alongside Snoop & Dre (who have been working together for 2 decades now) saying "What's Up Coachella?!"

XXL Celebrates 15th year of 2pacs Death, Biological Father Speaks

XXL magazine is celebrating the 15th anniversary of iconic rapper 2pac's death. The magazine interviewed people close to him.....his biological father, his ex wife Keisha Morris(never knew he was married) amongst others, his step father Mutulu Shakur. This is what his biological father had to say about him....,.......

“[Tupac] cared for people,” he said. “That was his main thing. He really cared for people. I think that’s why he would get so upset when people tried to question his commitment, his love for Black women or Black men. The East Coast/West Coast, you know, that’s a fabrication. I don’t have to begin to tell you that. So when that was questioned, it bothered him. Because he would give his heart or soul. He was a giving person. He would give anything to people. He would go in a store. [If there was a] Black man who couldn’t afford a $1,500 pair of boots, he would buy ’em for him. Think that Black man would ever forget Tupac? That’s just the way he is. But I don’t think that he did it for that. He did it because he had it, and he didn’t. That’s the way he is.”
