Days after Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg performed with a Tupac hologram at their headlining Coachella set, Raekwon has weighed in on the use of technology, calling it “beautiful.” During an interview with VIBE.com, the Chef said that it reminded him of the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard and that he would absolutely perform with an ODB hologram, but only if his mother approved of it.
“It made me think about Ol’ Dirty, too,” he said. “I would definitely have to have a understanding with his moms, because I think it all starts with they respect level. If they want us to do it and they feel like it’s cool that’s when we would continue to move on and do that. But I wouldn’t jump up out of the blue and just say, ‘Yo I want to reincarnate your son this way.’ I think it’s important that you get the moms respect for her son. Because it may hurt people.”
He also touched on the controversy surrounding the Tupac hologram. Some believe that it was disrespectful to use a dead man’s likeness during a performance, but since his mother Afeni Shakur gave her approval, Rae says it shouldn’t rub anyone the wrong way.
“I think more importantly, moms, if she co-signed it, then it ain’t about what we think. If that’s a way where she felt like her son was close to the fans and that was their way of getting to touch him, I don’t feel it was a bad thing. It was just kinda different.”
Be your own man, Rae; don’t use this gimmicky, dead-dishonoring bullshit.
Rae is not dishonoring anyone. you are dishonoring hip hop and technology by being a whiny little bitch. I would love to see ODB at a live show with the Wu again. all yall fuckin babies can cry me a river
The Pac hologram idea was creative, cool and entertaining. No need to hate.
ODB >>>> Raekwon’s wack ass
ODB would smack ur face if he was still alive for sayin somethin like that.
i love the idea of seeing ol dirty again with the rest of wutang ,i forsee the future concerts that are compleetly digital holograms immagine a a biggie and 2pac concert together it would be great, even in other types of music immagine a live elvis concert or the beatles or johnny cash or big pun

It would be bad ass to see an OBD hologram at a Wu show. It might bring ’em all back together for another tour. I know they just did one, but I missed it when it came through Houston lol.

Speak for yourself.

Holograms are wack. They are dead. Let ’em rest. They rocked it when they were alive. It ain’t the same as seeing them.
