During Day 3 of the 2012 Coachella Music Festival, Snoop Dogg and a hologram of deceased rapper Tupac Shakur hit the stage at the Empire Polo Field on April 15, 2012 in Indio, California.
If you haven’t seen by now, Tupac and his computer-generated washboard abs made a triumphant return to the stage last weekend, in what will undoubtedly go down as the most creative use of a hologram since Disneyland first projected ghosts sitting next to you on that dayum Haunted Mansion ride.
And while it’s being hailed as the greatest innovative concert ever… Tupac’s hologram is clearly just the beginning!
Details + video below…
A ripped Tupac Shakur, who died over 15 years ago, miraculously appeared onstage during the concert shirtless rapping alongside Snoop Dogg.
Some felt the hologram was disrespectful to the dead but many felt it was the most amazing thing ever. Whatever the case, it’s impossible to deny how lifelike the projected image appeared.
But wait… Tupac’s “resurrection” has appeared to pave the way for a highway filled with other dead celebrity holograms! Tupac was just the beginning. So prepare yourselves, because Hologramania is just beginning.
According to TMZ, Dr. Dre wants to take the Tupac hologram on tour and E! news is reporting that the hologram version of Michael Jackson could soon join his brothers on stage. *faints*
But you know it’s not gonna stop there! Why not dig up other dead celebs so that they can have their day in the spotlight yet again.
Notorious B.I.G…. Elvis… Jimi Hendrix… Luther Vandross… John Lennon… Gerald LeVert… Whitney Houston? Hell… the sky’s the limit! Why grieve for Aaliyah when we can just cue up the projector and have her perform a whole new set?
Would you be creeped out or amped up about seeing more deceased celeb holograms performing onstage?

Would pay to see any of the holograms of the artists mentioned on stage again compared to what we are left with of the crap so called ‘entertainers’ of today.
I would love to see Tupac’s hologram.
Shaking head…No thanks and way too creepy for me.Honestly, I don’t think the live Pac would have liked this at all.Can only imagine who they will dig up next………Whitney Houston, Mike and many more.Sigh
love it! damn they can all come back lol give me back some good performances
They show videos of these people all the time . WHY NOT
#THUGLIFE that is all
Would love to see it. Maybe these wack a$$ rappers can learn something.
I don’t like this at all. We are doing Wayyy to much, let people be. With all this technology and the way things are today- no respect for life, people or even God. That hologram is creepy, seeing a video he created while alive is one thing, but this man is dead, let him rest
creepy…..but would still go to see
Only Pac is cool
They manage to get every detail that he looked real.
I personally believe that this will be the begining,and if they do a biggy hologram. Wow! It is only a matter of time.
(they gon brig Mike back too! Watch!
Do your research on Machiavelli’s book ‘The Prince’ that Pac loved so much. Maintaining power is the key. Tupac is somewhere cheesing right about now…love it! As long as the person’s family is cool with it, I say go for it! It’s keeping their dreams alive.
dawg pac still look the same, realife image….
*hologram
It’s not creepy, we watch old videos of the deceased. I love this and would love to see one of Aaliyah and many many more.
I said when this first happened and I still believe, copyright law is going to have to evolve to handle this. I agree, look for dead-polloza as every estate scrambles to be the first to make money off this. I think Hendrix will be first unless i miss my guess.
I dont like it at all. The hologram didnt even act the same as Pac, the mannerism were all wrong and so was body. Since when did Pac move that way. If your going to have someone program the hologram then have someone who knows how to perform the way he did. Thats like someone performing as Elvis and is not moving his pelvis the right way
[…] Wasn't the "real" 2pac's performance way better than the 2pac hologram?] In Entertainment Mother's Day, Tupac […]
It’s official, I am creeped out! Don’t care moch for this technology and don’t want to see it, let the dead rest in peace!
