TUPAC BACK At Coachella With Snoop, Dr. Dre, Wiz, 50 Cent, Eminem & The Weeknd + Nas’ “Behind The Music” SNEAK PEEK
Apr 17th
Coachella Day 3 wrapped up with Snoop and all his friends hitting the stage…with an eerily realistic hologram of Tupac Shakur performing as well. And yes, his mom approved.
Pics and video inside, plus a sneak peak at Mr. Nas‘ upcoming VH1 "Behind the Music"…
Hologram creator Nick Smith recently dished on bringing the iconic rapper back to life for yesterday’s Snoop & Dr. Dre set. The Tupac image, which was all Dr. Dre’s idea, was created in the very realistic likeness of the late rapper as he perormed his tracks "Hail Mary" and "2 of Americaz Most Wanted."
Smith wasn’t allowed to discuss all the details of the creation of the Hologram (the image and movements were an original creation –not parts of an old concert), but MTV reports:
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?!"
Tupac’s mom, Afeni Shakur, told media she was "thrilled" by the hologram performance. She said it was amazing to see, but bittersweet as well.
Nate Dogg was orignally scheduled to perform in Hologram form as well, but the idea was scrapped last minute and replaced with a video tribute.
50 Cent also hit the stage with Snoop.
They rocked out with “What Up Gangsta” with Tony Yayo by his side, swaggering into and “P.I.M.P.” with Snoop, and closed with “In Da Club.”
And, of course, Wiz Khalifa hit the stage with Uncle Snoop to perform a couple tracks and share some weed.
Here’s video of Tupac and Snoop performing together:
Eminem hit the stage as well with his longtime collaborator Dr. Dre.
And if you’re a fan of The Weeknd, the crooner hit the stage for his own hour long set–including his track with Drake called "Crew Luv":
In other rap news, Nas is about to premiere his VH1 "Behind The Music" episode on Wednesday at 9p EST . Check out the sneak peek below:

Coachella 2012: Tupac Hologram Joins Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent
Apr 16th

By Sowmya Krishnamurthy
The first weekend of Coachella closed with a mega celebration of old school meets new school hip-hop as Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg hit the main stage together, with an unprecedented guest list. In addition to appearances from 50 Cent, Eminem, Wiz Khalifa and Kendrick Lamar, a Tupac Shakur hologram was live on stage. (Not the rumored Nate Dogg hologram we’d previously heard about).
The Weeknd Gives Rare Performance At Coachella
Amid plenty of billowing smoke and a lively visual backdrop, the living legends performed a myriad of their combined hits, kicking things off with “The Next Episode,” and following up with tracks like “Gin and Juice,” “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” and “Deep Cover.”
Snoop performed several of his solo numbers like “I Wanna Rock” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot” as well as his rendition of House of Pain’s “Jump Around.” He resurrected the classic cut, “Ain’t No Fun,” which was complemented with a flashing montage of deceased singer Nate Dogg playing in the background. Kurupt and Warren G came onstage for the number too, making it a true Dogg Pound reunion.
“Me and my n—- Snoop Dogg have been together for 20 years!” Dre proclaimed at one point as Snoop started smoking onstage, clearly in high spirits.
A slew of guests joined the heavyweight pair including Wiz Khalifa who performed “Young, Wild & Free” and newcomer Kendrick Lamar who spit “The Recipe.” 50 Cent brought East Coast flavor into the mix with a surprise appearance, performing crowd favorites like “What Up Gangsta,” “In Da Club,” and “P.I.M.P.” Eminem brought out perhaps the biggest crowd reaction, accompanying Dre on “I Need A Doctor,” “Forgot About Dre” and at Dre’s prodding, “Till I Collapse.”
Perhaps most surprising was how deceased rapper Tupac Shakur was brought into the fray via an eerily realistic hologram. “What the f— is up Coachella!” screamed the shirtless and tattooed Tupac hologram as he performed “Hail Mary” and “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” the latter, with Snoop.
Coming full circle, Dre and Snoop finished their set solo with the bouncy “Still D.R.E.”
“Coachella we the f— out of here. I want to say thank you for the love for so many years!” Dre shouted as the pair left the stage. So many years, still going strong.
