THE FUTURE IS CLEAR: Watch “Hologram Feist” Perform In Canada

When fallen legend Tupac Shakur was brought back to life as a dancing, rapping hologram at Coachella last year people were everything from shocked to amazed. The progress of projection technology has made the recreation of physical beings stunningly realistic, especially from a distance, but following the events at Coachella most the hype for the technology seemed to die down. That is, until now.

Last night, indie pop songstress Feist performed three simultaneous shows in various cities across the great nation of Canada. No, she didn’t split herself into three smaller Feists who then performed separate sets before rejoining as …

DAMMIT: Common Wants A J Dilla Hologram

By now most of you have probably seen, or at least read about the hologram 2Pac that performed alongside Snoop Dogg during the closing night of Coachella.

While speaking with TheUrbanDaily earlier this week, living legend Common revealed that he would be interested in having a digitally recreated J …

Tupac Sex Tape Surfaces, Owner Plans To Release It

TMZ is reporting this morning that not only has a sex tape featuring late (great) rapper Tupac Shakur surfaced, but that they’ve actually seen the footage.

According to the popular gossip site, the tap features Tupac receiving oral sex at house party WHILE rapping, smoking weed, and dancing AT THE SAME TIME.

No word yet on a street date for the tape, but considering it dates back to 1991, it’ll probably look like leftover footage from Paranormal Activity 3. Does the world really need (and further, want) a sex tape from rap’s greatest fallen icon? We’re not sure, …

Suge Knight gets “blackballed”

Thanks to our good friends at HipHopDx, we get to talk about how big of an idiot Suge Knight is…again. This dude keeps popping up, trying to make his crummy record companies that die in a year, and blaming it on someone else. This guy just needs to step away from the game and let it pass him by. He is a nobody now…and for what it is worth…he was a nobody then. Dre, Pac, Snoop, and Hammer made that dude famous, not his sly business tactics he think he has. Spin it:
