Hologram Tupac appears at Coachella, then on Twitter

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival began this weekend, and Sunday night's show was capped off with a performance by rappers Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg, with a 'holographic' appearance by Tupac Shakur, who died in 1996.

  3. The Coachella performance was streamed live online via YouTube, so the projection of Tupac was seen not just by the estimated 225,000 people in attendance, but by millions more online.

    So in the future of music, not only will we wonder if they're lip-singing, we'll have to wonder if they're even real or not #hologramTupac

  20. Not everyone was crazy about the holographic tribute, though. Some fans of the late rap icon were disturbed by the image, claiming that Shakur wouldn't have condoned the performance.

    Although I love Tupac, that "bringing him back to life" thing at #Coachella really creeped me out. We don't know if Tupac wld be down w/ it.

    Tupac's Coachella 'performance' is equal parts amazing, tacky, and macabre bit.ly/IxHbYw

    Tupac was a genius. His music lives on. Projecting him and having Snoop call and answer him is just, ummm, weird. And disturbing. #Coachella
