Ever since Tupac Shakur was killed in 1996, the rumours surrounding the legitiacy of his death have become almost as legendary as his status within the Hip-Hop community.
Whatever the case, it’s safe to say we won’t ever see rapper again the flesh.
However, in what can only be hailed as epic embrace of the digital age, the Hip-Hop icon was revived last night during Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg‘s headlining Coachella set last night. Appearing in hologram form, ‘Pac performed ‘Hail Mary’ and ‘2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted’ – alongside Snoop.
Watch the soon-to-be-classic showing below…
Fire!
It’d be awesome to see more acts flirt with such concepts. Granted it’s not overdone (and that it’s with the “right” artists), the potential for great moments like this are relatively endless.
Your thoughts?

Wtf did i just see? Lol omg scary
Tears to my freaking eyes, I loved both Pac and Big. So senseless! Great performance.
THAT WAS FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MADE ME WANT TO CRY!! I MISS MUSIC AND HIP HOP WHEN IT WAS REAL!!! NOW DAYS EVERYTHING IS SO FAKE!
chris Brown and rihanna did this in 2008 during the umbrella cindirella era
Pac4Life!!!
It was definitely well thought and well executed. R.I.P. 2Pac. His legacy lives on
(Not be shady, but it’s interesting how Dre and Snoop needed to revive 2Pac just to make their set memorable. Just saying…)
Loved it! RIP to my favorite rapper Pac!
Damn I thought this s*** was real.
dam near brought tears to my eyez to see the greatest all time perform live again. it gets no realer then Tupac Shakur. smmfh why couldn’t it last a lil longer.
Not gonna lie, ive always had this idea of doing this, shame someone beat me to it. but great to see it comes out great i loved it!
that was tight.
cool
Now can we get an Aaliyah one? Tim or Missy or both of yall
His PAC alive?
im never really been into rap but pac i was into. he was s*** as well then after him is nasty nas.
typo: ive
Lol. I heard some people say this scared them. It’s just a hologram dumbasses. Holograms have been used before at certain shows. He’s not alive and you can see right through it to see it’s not real. Just an illusion. But anyways, this is pretty cool. I’d like to see MJ and aaliyah be done! One for the money two for the show!
I think Elvis or Nat King Cole has had a hologram before. Can’t rly remember tho.
This just underscores how much hip hop has fell off… damn!
West side reppin to the FULLEST!! Pac LIVES on forever. That s*** was amazing! The whole 50 plus minutes set was on fire. Eminem was there along with 50, Wiz, and others. It was an amazing set.
I had tears in my eyes watching this. AMAZING! It looks so realistic. RIP PAC
They should make this with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, imagine those two together OMG!.
Janet Jackson did this at the Essence Music Fest back in like 2010 in her opening set.. this is hot s*** tho. I would of thought she would of used it for scream with her and mike on tour but didn’t happen lol.
This s*** was awesome but I’m not gonna a little chilling & a lil creepy at the same time. I don’t know how to explain it. He was/ is the greatest rapper of all-time in every aspect. The King lives on.
This is soo dope and very creative! Kudos to Snoop & Dr Dre for coming up with this idea even though I’m pretty sure it was mostly Dr Dre’s idea because Snoop is always high.
R.I.P Tupac was the best!
and yall please follow me now: http://twitter.com/shynlownoam
Oh my god, this is the greatest thing Ive ever seen. 2014 will be the year. This is so crazy, I wonder how snoop felt standing next to him. WESTSIDE!!! Just watchin made my heart beat a lil faster. Mad love Pac cant give you enough shout-outs.
