Idk if this has been posted, yet but did anyone see that Tupac hologram at Coachella????? o.0 some freaky ass sh!t.. i mean it was hella cool but it is so weird seeing that. Just in case you haven't, here is the link. It was during Snoop and Dres performance
Some people thought it was disrespectful,,. etc.. i dont see anything wrong with it but I would imagine it would be hard for Dre and Snoop since that was their friend.. but yea.

I wouldnt say it's disrespectful - bringing back a legend, it's amazing!
when X Japan reunited 10 years after their guitarist died they had a hologram of him at the Tokyo Dome (they also had a transparent levitating crystal piano!) - see about 3 minutes in, though watch from the start for the build up!
f***ing emotional!!!
Although it looks like for the Tupac one they made a CGI version of him they then created into a hologram, which is a bit dubious, rather than use real footage of him from the past (like the Hide tribute).

It should be said, while it was amazing to see, this is going to go commercial and spread, expect to see dead celebrities coming your way soon. The artistic will have been left behind for the monetary. And once all the "legends" are done, we will see people like amy winehouse being created. It will become just another way of record labels to continue profiteering long after an artists death (or leaves a record label) OM records could well have PUTS holograms in no time... lol.
