2Pac’s hologram may be hitting the road in the coming months. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are in plans to bring the resurrected rapper on tour with them. Dre first approached Digital Domain Media Group Inc. last year with the idea of creating a CGI imagine of Tupac Shakur, which costs somewhere between $100,000 and $400,000. “This is just the beginning,” said Ed Ulbrich, Digital Domain’s CEO. “Dre has a massive vision for this.” We will get to see Pac once again for weekend number two of the Coachella Music Festival on April 22.

In this month’s issue of XXL, Kelz breaks down TP2.com track by track. During the dissection, he reveals that Best of Both Worlds was originally supposed to be him and Tupac.
Well ‘I Wish’ was basically about Tupac at first. I met Tupac in L.A.- the [Hotel Nikko], and he was rolling by in his drop-top whatever hot car. I seen him, and I yelled out, “‘Pac! ‘Pac!” He was driving by, rolling by himself. I’m like, ‘This nigga got a lot of balls to be rolling by hisself!” So we kicked it for a minute, I said “Dude, we need to do an album.” See, The Best Of Both Worlds was for me and Pac at first. “I Wish” was gonna be the first song we were gonna do.
Yeah… me neither. Shouts to Low on the find.

Received this supposedly rare track in my inbox a couple of weeks ago, and only gave it a spin a few nights ago. Words can’t really describe it, but the term horrorcore comes to mind. Featuring a verse by Tupac and Boston’s Ray Dogg, and utilizing the same sample found on Jay-Z’s Lyrical Exercise seven years later. It’s crazy to think that this was recorded amidst the escalating East Coast vs West Coast feud (shout out to Tim Dog), but you have to respect these two vets linking up together. 90s > *
