This week was a blast from the past for Hip Hop. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg showed out with their headlining set at Coachella 2012, performing with a hologram of Tupac Shakur for a few songs during their slot. Many praised the hologram, including Raekwon and Kendrick Lamar. But C-Bo spoke with HipHopDX about raising Pac from the grave, sharing some fiery words for the West Coast veterans for using his likeness. Meanwhile, Mystikal faced a career setback, getting sent back to jail for another three-month sentence.
Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg Perform With A Tupac Hologram
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg shocked concertgoers at this past weekend’s Coachella festival by performing with a hologram of Tupac Shakur. The hologram was such a success that Dr. Dre is even contemplating hitting the road with it, though a tour is in preliminary talks. Kendrick Lamar, Common, Nas and Raekwon praised the 2-D figure of Tupac, while his mother Afeni Shakur shared her excitement over the unique performance. The masterminds behind the hologram spoke on how they got a false image of the slain rapper to rip through “Hail Mary” 
and “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” stating that it was Dre’s idea from the beginning and that it cost somewhere between $100,000 and $400,000. And even after all of the hoopla, Suge Knight still believes he’s alive.
C-Bo Calls Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg “Vultures” For Tupac Hologram
Not everyone was feeling the Tupac hologram that appeared during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s Coachella set. During an exclusive interview with HipHopDX, the reality rapper slammed the West Coast veterans for using Pac’s likeness and said that they were abusing his legacy. “These niggas is like vultures, man. Parasites. They trying to suck blood from a corpse,” he said. “[Tupac] wasn’t even fuckin’ with fake, phony-ass niggas. ‘Pac was a real nigga, man. And these niggas all coming out trying to use old verses and all this shit, man, I just think that’s some way out shit. I ain’t got no respect for a nigga like that.”
Mystikal Heads Back To Prison For A Three-Month Bid
Mystikal was cherishing his newfound freedom after serving a lengthy jail sentence for years. But it all came crashing down this week after a judge ruled that he violated his probation on account of a misdemeanor charge of domestic abuse battery from an incident that took place in February. The Cash Money artist, who was working on his Original LP, was credited with nine days on his three-month sentence, will report to prison on May 14th.

“Treach dissed Snoop & Dre hard for using that Pac hologram”
Say it to their faces then. But wait. That would make him a real man, not some fake goon still performing OPP.
treach just mad he aint got $400K to bring pac back wit his irrelevant ass
Dude still performing OPP years later across the globe is a GOOD THING. Cornball.
wow mystikal u r a tru low class gutter idiot that hasnt learned a thing since u were wit no limit…life is about progression fam and ur standing still doin same shit when u was younger
wtf is this site owned by yahoo now wit all these fukin advertisements before the video
I love Tha Good Doc he’s such an intelligent nigga with an amazing brain. When I looked @ the hologram I was absolutely stunned. Doc Dre has alwayz n will alwayz be ma role model coz he a real nigga from day 1 . fuck any imbecile muthafucka dat hates him.
Imma fuck him up his ass…..and tell him to shake his ass!
yeah c-bo cause pac didnt you know record songs with dre and snoop so you obviously didnt know pac he liked making people happy an im sure it made alot of people happy including his mom
@jacob
Event though i don’t fully agree with CBO…but you are wrong. 2 pac recorded songs with C-BO, way before he started to record w/ dre and snoop. C-bo is from the Bay Area and that is the dudes he kicked wit first from the WEST COAST. In fact, That is where that whole THUGLIFE came from. And one song…that I know for sure they did together was “Tradin War Stories”
i think pac was a cool dude but he got caught up with the wrong ppl. and it took off something crazy yea ppl like him but why do u like him?? is it exciting to hear about him dying?? his beefs that he died from?? your just a crowd of ppl that like to hear crazy shit and cheer on the person who its about he isent god get him off the cross. hes a human that got caught in the wrong shit. yea he was a fun dude he can rap buyt like him cause of t hat not his beefs.

I think it was a great gift for the fans. Watching it gave me goosebumps. You cant hate any1one for knowing how to make money, And who knows making money better than Aftermath Shady G Unit? But No 1 can say that it was a selfish act. I do agree 100% that alot of undeserving artists show great disrespect by trying to get famous by ripping off legends of the game. Dr. Dre & Snoop ARE legends, & knew 2pac personally. I but it was a greater feeling for them to be rapping with 2pac on stage again, than anything.
On this site, I read a few weeks ago that NATE DOGG, not 2Pac, was going to be the hologram. I think it’s fucked up because the die hard DPG fans was probably looking foward to “seeing” Nate Dogg again. But, as we all know, 2Pac would be a bigger draw, so they chose Pac. So, now the man who has been promising us fans with “Detox” for the last 10 years wants to go on tour with a hologram Pac???? Shit, they might as well hologram Nate Dogg & Eazy E too. Like Pac said in an interview, “Dre ain’t worked in years!” Now he wanna tour with Hologram Pac!! 2pac wasn’t even fuckin’ wit’ Dre before he got killed! Somewhere, Diddy is gettin’ ready to revive BIG.
Next on the hologram list:
1. Michael Jackson
2. Whitney Houston
3. Aaliyah
4. Notorious B.I.G.
5. Jam Master Jay
6. Big L.
7. Mac Dre
8. D.J. Screw
9. Freaky Tah
10. Osama Bin Laden
C-bo said Wut a real homeboy would say and the bottom line is y’all lack knowledge cuz I’m 38 and I can tell u Pac didn’t fuc “with phony ass niggas like that” so do your research Cuzzin and if Pac was alive Dre n snoop wouldn’t b around n Cbo would be right there with him smashing on them phony ass niggaz
” we shook gay ass now we out the closet” hahaaa pac said it best
We shook dre punk ass now we out the closet” pac said it best

I think this shitz coo and that PAC would be proud he CONTINUES 2 get respect…I got 2 say though if they start manipulateing words that never came out of pacs mouth, then therez gonna be troublesome 96 shit…
Great Moment bringing Pac out, that is crazy
