Any Litsters See Tupac Shakur @ Coachella Last Night?

[Morcheeba]

If so, did you cry? Poop or wet yourself? After tripping on acid for three days straight, I bet seeing him "perform" again musta been seriously intense.

Guess he wasn't lying when he once said he was immortal.

Weird how I envisioned RoryN freaking at the holographic performance from Tupac last night.

is this the part where we're supposed to care?

let me know

 

[Morcheeba]

Who's next?

Jim Morrison?
Elvis Presley?
Aaliyah?

Personally, I could go for an entire hour of Michael Hutchence resurrecting once again.

It's here and now and part of the future.

Go back to "eating pussy" if you don't care.

I just wish I knew a place where I could go to see one of those things live. I wanna know how fake they look when your actually in the room with them and how close you can get before the illusion is destroyed and how it works so on and so forth.

It's gonna be fucking SWEET when we get to play video games with that.

Focus on the whole holographic technology. It's year 2012 and Snoop is performing on stage at a live outdoor festival with a man who died over 15 years ago.

And get rid of that shit sigline before I ever reply to you again. That was not worth scrolling over.

Or, I dunno, pass on the video games and have a nice, quaint dinner. Heh, backspaced intercourse. No way man. No way.

Next weekend... uhhh yeah.

This ^^ Tupac video shows his fun, jovial and also comedic side.

I know I know, way too much politics to focus on in this forum but if you get bored with all that give a go.

 

[Morcheeba]

Next weekend... uhhh yeah.

Get out! Hopefully it won't be raining as badly!

 

[KRCummings]

Dead gangsta rappers. Yay.

It's not supposed to rain. Even if it does... I dunno... the vid looks cool. I was going to go to see Snoop anyway... Fucking Coachella! The Tupac thing looks wild.

 

[Morcheeba]

It is a tad bit crazy... tornados left and right and Tupac performing in year 2012 wearing the same stone-washed jeans and construction boots that were popular like nearly 20 years ago.

 

[bluemuse]

I talked to someone who saw it and he said that it was the highlight of Coachella.

 

[Morcheeba]

Plus now this weekend's Coachella fuckers will be expecting this shindig to go down.

I rather prefer those stoned out of their minds watching it for the first time EVER.

 

[Morcheeba]

It'd be comparable to the time I was tripping on acid and watched Eddie Vedder swing from one side of the Lollapalooza stage over to another, get his shoe ripped off and then go off nonstop about said shoe and then rip a snot rocket.

Private me for the rest of that story... cunts.

Sorry, but it's a projection, not a hologram. The illusion is far from perfect. He slides around on the stage floor. He has to appear front-lit or he would be see-through, and Snoop has to be side-lit or the light would show the screen. Still, it's a good effort.

As for bringing back other artists, there are quite a few things to make that unlikely. Tupac probably had a body scan done for one of the films he was in, which would make the reconstruction lots easier. We never see his lips moving, since he's got the mic in front of them the whole time he sings. Then there's the matter of who has the rights to a dead person's image and can say what may be done with it.

And did they have to show him with his underwear hanging out? Have some respect for the dead, come on.

 

[Morcheeba]

They resurrected one of the greatest Rap Artists of all time using technology that allowed them to project a perfect hologram of his body. It has all the features of his body and the way that he would move onstage as well as small details like his tattoos... And you're surprised about how they got him to say Coachella...

sorry, just eavesdropping on others...

 

[Morcheeba]

I bet Janet Jackson ordered a bodyscan for him in her 'Poetic Justice' movie, Phro.

That's how this must have started.

Yahoo! finally gets wind of all this...

The Twittersphere was a-buzz about the polarizing, digital resurrection of rapper Tupac Shakur during Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's headlining set at the Coachella Music Festival Sunday night. According to MTV News, the stunningly detailed hologram of the rapper (who died in 1996) could have cost from $100,000 to over $400,000 to create!

While the actual specifics of how the hologram works are under wraps until after the festival closes, in an interview with Dr. Dre last week on Los Angeles radio station Power 106 revealed that Coachella organizers had given the rapper a "blank check" to do whatever he wanted for his weekend sets. Before the festival, there were initial rumors of a hologram homage to rapper, and frequent Dre and Snoop collaborator, Nate Dogg, who passed away last May due to complications from multiple strokes. With a second set coming up the second weekend of Coachella, chances are a hologram Nate Dogg may be the surprise guest joining the set, perhaps even along with hologram Tupac!
