Tupac Performs “Live” at Coachella 2012

Tupac Shakur was the biggest hit at the Coachella festival over the weekend, even though he's been dead for years. A special “hologram” made it possible for Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre to share the same stage again with their fallen mate.

Because of the language used during the performance, we can't embed it as is here. However, below, you will find a clean version – the original one is here.

Though rumors about the special surprise “appearance” had been making the rounds, no one actually expected the hologram to be so lifelike.

It wasn't a hologram per se actually, but rather an optical illusion. Either way, it worked: Tupac came to life for a few minutes, reminding the world what a great loss his death was.
