I have to admit that I didn't think I would ever be discussing a new Tupac performance in 2012, but the recent hologram performance at Coachella was amazing for many reasons. Reason one, it somehow makes the more standard rap show (where guest star verses are either edited out or cut the whole song short) more interesting to hear in its entirety. Reason two, cause it is mofo'n crazy what holograms can do these days. Technology had Tupac yelling to the crowd, doing his typical, shirtless on-stage moves and interacting with Snoop Dogg. How this can be accomplished in front of audiences and be captured on video without looking to unreal (at a distance) is pretty phenomenal.
Maybe, one day all of the greats can send an avatar to your hometown to perform while they lay on the beach somewhere or in their grave.
Question. Would you pay for or even want to see an all-hologram show if it featured Big L, Big Pun, Biggie Smalls, Jam Master Jay, Tupac, and other greats?
