This video should explain the hologram technology. They created a CGI video of Pac from previous videos with some recording of his voice. Then they projected it onto a special foil. The same company does the awesome holograms for the Gorillaz.

So cool. I actually wasn't sure if Snoop could see the hologram or not. He did a good job on stage too.

I assume Snoop could see the image, but it would look like it was on the floor because he is on the back of the angled screen. The image was probably a lot fainter as well because the foil is probably quite reflective.

This strikes me as a little weird, but it might just be because it looks like more of a guitar hero model than anything.
I think it would be one thing to take previously recorded footage & find a cleaver way to project it onto the stage. But the whole "make a model, now watch it dance!" thing seems in poor taste. On par with the Kurt Cobain model in guitar hero that had people up in arms a few years back.

But hey, anything to make a buck I suppose.
Well they didn't really "make a buck" off of this as tickets were sold out well in advance of anyone having a clue this would happen, but I get your point. I think it's a cool thing to do once, but wouldn't want to see it become a regualr occurrence.
I'm a huge fan of 90's hip hop and loved it. Gave me goose bumps seeing it.
Probably safe to say there were quite a few people under the influence of various drugs and I cannot imagine how many of them totally tripped out. THAT would have been awesome just to video tape the reactions.
And really, the hologram was still more authentic than any rap out there today.

speaking for most 40 year old white guys when I say...who??
Tupac died 15 years ago, when you were 25. During your early 20's he had two number one hit albums, since the early 90's he's had 22 #1 hit songs. His murder in the 90's was highly publicizes along with the death of Biggie Smalls shortly after. For a while you basically couldn't turn on the American news without seeing his face.
So either you're attempting some odd 40 year old white guy version of being a hipster, or you didn't own a TV during the 90's.
