This past week the music video containing a hologram of the long gone rapper, Tupac Shakur, went viral. It was a pretty clever idea, actually. Two other rappers, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg had a non-3D illusion of Tupac performing with them.
An MSN entertainment article said that many were appalled at the sight of the legendary, but dead rapper, dancing alongside his fellow artists, but I think for most Tupac fans it
was a feel good moment.
Afeni Shakur, Pac's mother, gave permission to use the footage in exchange for a gracious donation to her son's charity. The idea may be used on a larger scale for touring purposes and Tupac may have the chance to perform on the big stage again and fans may have another opportunity to see him.

I had heard about this but didn't see the actual video, definitely going to have to check it out. I've seen it done before on American Idol with Elvis and someone else also but I don't remember who it was. It's definitely a clever idea and a nice way to brig people back from the dead.

I thought it was amazing the way him and snoop dogg were rapping back and fourth as if he was actually there.

This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It looked real. I really hope that they decide to do a Notorious B.I.G. hologram soon because I like him much better than Pac.

This creeps me out. The news is already talking about celebrities making provisions in their wills to forbid estates from using their image after their death.
