Dat Tupac "Hologram"

Post by Mr. T »

So basically some smoke and mirrors were used to make a "hologram" or otherwise called optical illusion of Tupac at Coachella this year. Here's a link to explain it better than I can:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/ ... story.html

So what does errone think of this? Is he actually alive, and this is a way of him to "come back" while remaining out of the public eye-or some similar conspiracy theory? Or is this Snoop and Dre's way of cashing in on a deceased icon. Does this disrespect the dead, even though his mother is apparently "thrilled" about it... and perhaps most importantly, WHAT THE * WERE THEY SMOKING WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH THIS?!!!111

I thought it would have been incredible to be there for that. I'd like to think it was just their way of paying respect to a friend they lost.

Yeah that's what I hope, and thought until I watched a bunch of youtube documentaries about how the Illuminati and satanists killed him... Nah I don't really believe that though ;) But at least a few of Tupac's closest friends in the hip-hop world questioned whether or not he would have approved, whether it was genuine or motivated by profit. I'm sure it all factors into the equation, but I'm mainly just blown away that holograms are a reality at this point.

There's also the question of whether or not performing with a hologram actually constitutes a live performance, that's a blurry distinction already with auto-tune and *... I'm envisioning some kind of scenario where you go and see some pop-star live and no longer know what's real or hologram'D.
