Every now and then you hear people ask about Tupac. ‘Is he still alive?’ ‘How can he still be releasing new songs?’ Well, unofficially, Tupac came back to life over the weekend. The catch is that he returned to life as a hologram and many who were in attendance thought it was amazing. Tupac was brought back to life as a hologram for the Coachella music festival held in California. The hologram performed a couple of Tupac’s greatest hits. One of the songs performed by the hologram was that of ‘2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,’ a duet with Snoop Dogg.
Reportedly, the crowd went absolutely insane, especially when the hologram of Tupac first appeared in front of the crowd. The hologram rose up from the ground until it was standing on the stage at Coachella. Those in attendance say that the movements by the hologram were incredibly lifelike as he was grabbing onto his crotch and pointing his microphone to the crowd almost like he was there. As the performance ended, a light was shone on Tupac and then he dissipated into thin air. For the partiers in the crowd who did not realize Tupac was not there and was a hologram, they must have really enjoyed the show.
This was absolutely phenomenal and shows the brilliance technology can bring to art. It is through art that we can carry on the legends of the most brilliant performers and minds of our time. What a tribute this was to a legendary hip hop artist.
