Tupac Shakur hologram Thrilled the Fans At Coachella
It looked so real. He looked so real.
In an amazing hologram, rapper Tupak Shakur – who was murdered in
1996 – graced the stage Sunday night at Coachella, and did a duet with
Snoop Dogg.
In the closing set of the three-day festival, the life-like image
of a shirtless, tattooed Shakur rose up and magically appeared in the darkness.
Raising his arms into the air, he yelled, “What the [expletive] is
up, Coachella?!” Of course, the hologram was so cool that he’s already got his own Twitter page .
Shakur’s song Hail Mary was then played, with the hologram moving as if it were performing, and then Snoop Dogg joined him for a duet of 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.
MTV reports the
hologram was the work of Dr. Dre and some special effects magic.
According to a spokesperson for Dre, the lifelike image of Shakur was
created by Hollywood effects house Digital Domain, the Oscar-winning CG
factory that made CG images of Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and other films.
