Tupac’s Hologram Performs At Coachella
Really late Sunday night, or Monday morning for any East Coasters who stayed up to watch on YouTube, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were into their set at Coachella when the bells to Tupac Shakur’s Hail Mary started to ring. It was rumored that a hologram of Pac would be part of Dre and Snoop’s set and those rumors were right.

I’ll admit-I wasn’t much of a T.I. fan until fairly recently. Despite all the “King of the South” talk, I didn’t find Tip’s music all that thrilling. Shit, if the title is based on rhyme skills alone, I wouldn’t even put the guy in contention-not as long as Cee-Lo, Ludacris and both members of OutKast are still alive and rapping.

Sade makes it a hat trick, as “Soldier of Love” hangs at #1 yet again, selling another 127,000 copies. After three weeks, “Soldier” is already the year’s second best selling albums.
