Tupac hologram - Coachella (California) 2012, Holographic 2pac wyƛwietlony w Coachella w Kaliforni. Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and sea of white and golden faces. It was the shizel for the peeps who paid a corporate ransom to attend the most boring fest in the world, a lot of hype and very little payoff for the price. See you next weekend? For British, Emo, and urban fans, Radiohead also played an epic psychedelic set.

There he stands, his six-pack abs glistening, microphone in hand, yelling out to a screaming crowd at the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Slain rap star Tupac Shakur “performing” hits "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" live at the annual fest last Sunday, alongside Snoop Dogg and producer Dr. Dre, and we could swear he was rapping in the flesh, instead of as an eerily realistic, life-size projected image. There’s even talk of an upcoming tour involving the virtual Shakur, who was murdered more than 15 years ago, and Snoop Dogg, plus Dr. Dre, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Drummer Meytal Cohen (meytalcohen) would be a progressive and daring booking for Coachella. But corporations prefer tried and true acts, no matter how mainstream they've become. Here -- together with Jennifer Lynn and Christine Wu on electric violins, doing a string arrangement by video editor Jennifer Lynn, produced by Gil Baram, Jennifer Lynn, and Meytal Cohen -- ladies prove they can rock out with a cover of System of a Down's "Toxicity" utilizing an alternative twist.
