I was talking earlier about how I'd totally pay to see this live. Glad it might happen.
I do feel though that this has got to be weird for Dre, Snoop, and most of all Afeni Shakur.

Great in theory, questionable in practice.

I hope not. It would set a bad precedent. Its one thing with its the gorillaz bringing their characters to life. Using a dead person's image without their permission? Creepy. Next thing you know the Beatles and Elvis will be 'touring' again and many artists won't have to leave their home town to 'tour'.

Wait , a dead person can grant or deny permission? [mind-boggler,folks!]


Am I the only person who heard him reference "makaveli" and was immediately creeped out by the conspiracy thoughts/possibilities? Don't get me wrong, he might have dropped Makaveli on his last shows, but he was generally just "tupac" ...so that was a crazy addition to the show.

Either way..technology sucks. I love it but it's freaking me out.

He also said "what up Coachella" or something like that. And I don't think Coachella even existed before he died.

Really? This has no integrity whatsoever past the first time. It should stay a homage, not a way to make more money. It's not real.

I agree...but if you do a 20-date tour over the course of a couple months and hit only the major markets? Could probably do 20K in each market?
Sure, it's a valid proposal and financials probably make sense, but...

Haha I suppose there are times where my morals and business minds draw lines. I couldn't morally support something like this.

i think they should just leave it at the 2 coachella shows. don't over do it. that set was legendary, and a full tour of that would only soften the impact.

if anything they should just make a blu-ray of the set. i'll buy it for 15 bucks. sure it's not as profitable, but Dre is a man of legacy.

but then there is a flip side...with detox coming out, he'll probably have to do way more touring than he ever has before just to recoup expenses to some degree. so this being the case, if he doesn't do the 2-D-Pac (yes, I just created that), people will get wedgies and cry.
