Screaming Tupac Back!: Celebrities React to Tupac Shakur’s ‘Return’ at Coachella
Posted by Mr.North under Quotes[18] Comments
Meek Mill had everyone proclaiming it in 2011, and last night at Coachella 2012 it happened. For a brief 5-minute span, Tupac Shakur emerged from the darkness onto the festival’s main stage during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s set on Sunday night. The moment confirmed previous leaked reports that a hologram image of the late west coast rapper would appear. Immediately during and after the life-like image performed “Hail Mary” and “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” Twitter went into a frenzy as Rihanna (who was in attendance), Questlove, Katy Perry, and other notable celebrites and industry figures reacted to the resurrection of Tupac. While Dre and Snoop return next weekend for the festival’s second go-around (April. 22), there’s no word if the image will appear again.
Read the reactions from Katy Perry, Rihanna, Meek Mill, Tyler The Creator, Questlove, and more after the jump…..

With the “acception” of derrick rose, busta might be the most illiterate dude around.

Honestly I didn’t know WTF to feel. Lol It was creepy, cool, over-the-top- circus-ish all rolled into one. I do appreciate the effort though, especially for thinking out of the box on a show of that size.
BTW… Whoever designed that hologram deserves the raise of their lives cuz’ that looked real as hell, not computerized or digitized, & all done on a mammoth outdoor stage at nite in front of almost 100K… DAMN!

Seriously, if you cannot take the epic feel of what happened as being great, than your whole perspective is wack

Elvis’ wasn’t anything like Tupacs. They just took video from previous recorded performances of elvis and put it with Celine Dion. Celine Dion was singing to a body double on stage and the audience only saw the body double but us at home saw previously recorded elvis. Where as Tupacs image was created from scratch and actually there live for everyone to see. Different technology completely.
