Last night Tupac was resurrected in the form of a hologram during Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre‘s set at Coachella.

Now for the first time we are hearing what Pac’s mother Afeni Shakur thinks about seeing her son perform one more time.
A rep told TMZ, Afeni was thrilled to see her son’s likeness walking back and forth and rapping with Snoop and Dre.

Dre reached out to AV Concepts to create the image and got Afeni’s blessing before the show.
Nick Smith, President of AV, says:
“We worked with Dr. Dre on this and it was Dre’s vision to bring this back to life.”
The hologram of Tupac was planned several months in advance and took nearly four months to create in a studio. Nick wouldn’t admit how much Dre paid for the hologram, but did reveal that it would cost around $100,000 to $400,000 to produce a figure like Pac.
It’s clear that Dr. Dre wasn’t sparing any expense for this performance, because in addition to shelling out big bucks for the hologram, he also got Afeni’s approval and dropped a nice sized donation to The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation.
Now that’s swag!
