It's been 12 years since the late Tupac Shakur has appeared on the Billboard 200 chart, but thanks to his virtual resurrection at Coachella this year, the rapper's album and song sales are also back from the dead. Since his 2D projection hit the stage during the festival's first weekend (Apr. 15), 'Pac's 1998 Greatest Hit s release has reappeared at #129 on the album chart, up 571% in sales with more than 4,000 copies sold. "Hail Mary" — Tupac's last [...]

What would we do without our mom? Whether she's offering comfort via some milk and cookies, or cheering from the sidelines of the state championships, she's always by your side — even when you don't come home with the first-place trophy. So for all her grace and patience and hard work and most importantly LOVE, we've whipped up this playlist of 10 songs to celebrate the amazing woman she is. Kicking things off up top is Christina Aguilera 's emotional ballad and chart-topping 2000 hit, "I Turn to [...]

After a week of fascination and speculation over the Coachella performance by the virtual Tupac Shakur during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg 's set last Sunday, the good doc has finally chimed in on the rumors of the late "California Love" MC's supposed tour. And, basically, there isn't going to be a Tupac tour — or at least there's not one in the [...]

Sunday was the first real day of Coachella-esque weather (Sun!!! And heat!), and so it was fitting to start the day in the audience of Lissie , the tannest white chick I have seen outside of Hollywood. She's a singer songwriter whose music is a little hard to engage with, not because it's dissonant or angry, but because it's deceptively accessible. You might even call it boring , until you set a spell and really listen to the no-holds-barred, truly introspective lyrics coming out of her. Imagine if, say, Taylor Dane picked up an acoustic guitar and started [...]

This week we said goodbye to a pioneer in music, radio and television, while another legend, from the world of hip hop, was resurrected on stage at Coachella . Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj bid adieu to Twitter, Gotye came from overseas and conquered the singles chart and Lionel Richie climbed to the top of the album chart for the first time in 26 years — despite his current tax woes. Head below to see how these music makers (and others) [...]

Tupac Shakur 's surprise appearance at Coachella on Sunday (Apr. 15) has concert promoters calculating such a stunt's profitability — even if it only was a 2D effigy of the murdered rapper. Following news Tuesday that Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg may bring 'Pac's hologram along on an upcoming tour, a mock Coachella poster hit the web, featuring a lineup full of dead legends who could be resurrected on stage using the same technology. Though we take issue with the [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Spinner Says Christopher Polk, Getty Images Short of working some "Jurassic Park" magic and actually resurrecting dead artists, the music industry has a new way to cash in on deceased superstars, thanks to Tupac Shakur 's "performance" at Coachella . Just two days after a projected image of the rapper appeared at the festival alongside Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre , [...]

Many media outlets and artists thought Tupac Shakur 's virtual resurrection at Coachella on Sunday was pretty much the coolest thing ever. The Los Angeles Times , however, called the stunt "a red herring, unnecessary and ill advised." Whichever side of the fence you're on, the projection of the deceased rapper may not be a onetime deal, given the amount of coverage the event has received. And according to one report, Shakur's comrades Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre [...]

Despite all the big reunions and starmaking performances, the real takeaway from this year's Coachella festival is that Dr. Dre, as part of his Sunday night headlining set, actually commissioned a motherfucking life-size hologram of the late Tupac Shakur, dead nearly 16 years now, to come out and perform, a WTF stunt that absolutely got the attention it was engineered to get. And as it you'd expect, this thing was not cheap. MTV reports that the hologram was created by Digital Domain, the movie special-effects team who made age-adjusted versions of Brad Pitt for The Curious Case [...]

Bummed you missed/will miss out on the impressive (if not a smidge creepy) spectacle of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg bringing Tupac Shakur to the Coachella stage last/next weekend? Things might be turning in your favor, as a new report suggests that Dre and Snoop are entertaining the idea of a joint tour - one which would see them bringing along the virutal 'Pac. According to The Wall Street Journal , "a person familiar with the discussions" claims discussions are planned to address [...]

Rapper Tupac Shakur helped to close out the first Coachella weekend, joining Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre for a turn on stage on Sunday night. Or at least, a hologram of the deceased performer did. Shakur's electronic ghost took to the stage, greeting Coachella before launching into a solo performance of his hit song 'Hail Mary.' Then, the illusory rapper and Snoop Dogg teamed up for a duet of "Ain't Nothin' Like A Gangsta Party." The rendition of Shakur was uncanny in most respects, but appeared to glide across stage [...]

You apparently can't keep a good MC down, something that was glaringly evident after last night's Coachella performance by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre . The rappers brought their old pal Tupac Shakur back to life via a pricey hologram projection , and, naturally, the Internet had plenty to say about the mind-blowing spectacle. 2Pac knocked out two classics — "Hail Mary" and "2 Of Amerikaz [...]

Tupac Shakur has been dead for more than fifteen years. But thanks to the magic of modern technology, he was able to join Dr. Dre and Snoop at Coachella last night. No, they didn't reanimate him, in the strictest sense of the word "reanimate" - they made a hologram of him. Now, I'm not so dumb [...]
