Bad ass when I saw it last night. Just blew me away for a second, completely unexpected. I heard they were going to do a Nate Dogg hologram for Coachella, not sure if it happened.
How did the crowd react? I was hoping for a frenzy, people passing out and echoes of I knew it and I told ya.
"Hologram"...Fools <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ai1yagSvUUI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
i think snoop did a great job. <strike>maybe</strike> he was high as hell.. but that's gotta be tough to pull off--performing as if it's a real person with "responses" when you know it isn't
I saw that I believe last night and I was truly amazed. 1. because I'm a big Pac fan 2. I'm a tech guy and the technology behind it is truly sick.
nearly one hour of Snoop, Kurupt, Dre, Pac, Wiz, Kendrick, Em,... performance: http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/...erform-with-tupac-hologram-at-coachella-2012/
imagine having a sex hologram in your own home! You can program any girl you like, just scan a photo.
You'd need an android where you can put on the texture of a holograph, otherwise it'd be just to look at it.
Never understood why Tupac had such a large following when BIG was producing true poetry on the other side of the country. Just came off as another angry, hyper black guy lacking in class. I mean Notorious would talk about going from ashy to classy and Coogie, Moschino, Frank White etc. Tupac was just kind of at the surface screaming about b****es, getting around, his mom once in a while, being angry... just real generic stuff. But I guess that's the mainstream music industry, sometimes the Soulja Boys sell more CD's than the Frank Sinatra's because more people relate to that level of stupidity.
Have you heard Letter to my unborn child, Life Goes on, Dear Mama, etc. Tupac was deep and just had an amazing rhythm, energy, voice to make his songs appealing. I always fetl the exact opposite and felt BIG was overrated, songs like Hypnotize so on, his songs were the typical ones where they just talk about how rich they are, what they own and how great there life is with all this versace. And then there is some guy in the back round saying uh huh, yea(would be pdiddy in this case)
I think you're showing illiteracy right now and that's why you cling to Tupac. Notorious was a natural storyteller and gifted at worldplay - it's unanimously accepted in rap circles that he rode a beat like no other... with the exception of Rakim maybe. Rakim was prevalent in the 1980s, a little before your time. Anyways Letter to an unborn child is pretty basic. It's got the same themes a disney song would have without the metaphors. He had alot of energy, I'll give you that. But class and talent compared to the great ones... nah. A few levels below. Never really in the penthouse suit door, just loitering around the elevators.
