Two remixes of California Love in a week. You down with Cali? Shake it Cali.

We ran a rather lighthearted feature earlier this week about endearingly silly hair metal bands , one of which was the enduringly awesome Hanoi Rocks. At the time, we noted that despite inspiring many of the bands who'd rule the Sunset Strip in the 1980s, Hanoi Rocks had already broken up by the time hair metal went global. This got us thinking about how often this pattern has been repeated over the years — it's not always the bands who are the first to play a new sound who enjoy that sound's success. And in a happy coincidence, there's a [...]

Rico Tubbs just shared this super jammin moombahton take on California Love. Grooves hard.

What do Tupac, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopez and Elvis Presley all have in common? Besides the obvious… The answer is holograms, as the man with the worlds most famous pelvis is the latest deceased legend to have archive footage transformed into holographic images in the name of nostalgic entertainment. Digital Domain Media Group, the company behind the Tupac images featured in Snoop Dogg and Dre’s Coachella performance earlier this year have teamed up with Core Media Group, the people behind American idol to work on this latest project however neither company are yet to confirm when or [...]

Thai Matic has unveiled the video for new single 'Tupac' which is taken from his forthcoming End Of The Weak EP which is out on June 1st. Thai is, as usual, on point lyrically and he's backed by a beat that simply wont quit.

Después del holograma de Tupac en Coachella, eso de revivir estrellas musicales fallecidas ya se está poniendo de moda. Según una declaración de Brian May , guitarrista de Queen , el próximo en reaparecer desde el más allá será el mismísimo Freddie Mercury . Esto lo dijo durante una entrevista para la BBC, donde comentó que Freddie aparecerá en la próxima presentación del décimo aniversario del musical We Will Rock You gracias a una “ilusión óptica”. Esto ocurrirá el próximo 14 de mayo en el Dominion Theatre de Londres [...]

DJ Fusion, a new artist to The Eargazm, blends Tupac and beat master Gramatik together to create something quite special. This is the kind of mash up were looking for. If you like the generic cluster fuck of 30 songs, then leave this website now. That is one this you will never find here. We love Gramatik, we love tupac and we love this track. This is the first we have heard from DJ Fusion and we can't wait to here more. We'll be back with more information on this up and coming DJ. Give this a listen and then [...]

"I don't know what kind of album 'The Chronic' would have been without the riots," - Kurupt While searching for news, I came across a fantastic article out of the Los Angeles Times by Ernest Hardy and August Brown about the LA riots and their relationship with West Coast rap. It only seems appropriate to

L'argomento è sempre di moda, come le mezze stagioni o gli straordinari non pagati. Alcuni filosofi pensano sia l'alfa e l'omega di ogni discorso, che tanto alla fine sempre lì si va a parare. L'unico modo di dare ancora più importanza ad un tema già di per se capitale è quello di cercare di risolverlo nella più goffa delle maniere. La novità è che oggi resuscitare sembra facile tanto quanto morire. Attori ricostruiti grazie alla computer graphics, ristampe e recuperi di musicisti scomparsi da tempo, motori semantici automatici che promettono di scrivere in maniera indistinguibile dall'autore venuto a mancare.

Roger Taylor , batterista dei Queen , ha detto di non avere alcuna intenzione di esibirsi sul palco di fianco a un ologramma del defunto Freddie Mercury . Dalle pagine di Billboard, spiega: «Non credo proprio di voler fare una cosa del genere. Non mi sentirei a mio agio. Non voglio apparire con un ologramma di un mio caro amico. Se non posso avere la persona vera, non voglio nessun ologramma. Credo che sia un effetto incredibile se utilizzato nel modo giusto, naturalmente nell'oscurità. Se qualcuno volesse usare un ologramma di Freddie, non farei [...]

THR: "Tupac's 1998 album Greatest Hits returns to the Billboard 200 for the first time since 2000, as it jumps back in at No. 129 with 4,000 copies sold according [...]

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 [...]

Since the Tupac hologram performed at Coachella, the rapper's back catalogue has seen a spike in sales, Billboard reports. For the past sixteen years, Pac has had a robust posthumous presence, whether it's through the ... read more �

For the first time in 12 years Tupac 's Greatest Hits has re-entered the charts, hitting number 129 in America's Billboard 200 after selling 4,000 copies. All Eyez On Me and Me Against The World have also risen (by 95% and 53% respectively). 'Hail Mary', '2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted' and 'California Love' have also had sales boost. Watch the hologram performance here if you've not had the internet the last few weeks:

So appropriately designed, even a 2Pac mural greeted you upon entrance! A Jarritos truck garnished the DJ stage outside while the main stage faced a shipwreck themed bar [...]

The only reason I would ever really want to see TLC perform is if Left Eye was on board. Of course, that isn't possible, but now it looks like we might just get that chance. Similar to the Tupac appearance at Coachella, it has been reported that TLC already have five dates secured in a tour that will feature a film projection of the late Left Eye. I will give the Tupac hologram a pass, but things have officially gotten tacky. Weigh in on the hologram debate below. [ via ]

It's 12:14a.m. on a random Wednesday morning and I can't sleep, so I'm going to do what any normal insomnia prone person would do... ponder the end of the world. We all know that our time is limited on this planet. If my calculations are correct, we have a little over seven months left before the planet earth implodes into a black hole and we all disintegrate into the universe. That's why I've been running all my credit cards up and not paying any bills for the last three months. Yep... I have it all figured out. Pimp the system [...]

The appearance of a Tupac Shakur hologram at the Coachella music festival during a performance with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre got an amazing range of reactions on the web. For some it was yet another aesthetic apocalypse, for others a moment of awe-inspring beauty. Since that apparition, Holopac returned for another performance at Coachella and we discovered that he wasn't a hologram after all, that the company that got a big stock price boost was only partially responsible and that those tour rumors are all wrong unless, at a [...]
