    pro: visuals to go along with music we love
    cons: it has to be expensive
    I will say that its not something we will see often because of the cost. only at large concerts like this one. i dont we see snoop on stage with a tupac hologram or jay on stage with biggie if they have to come out they on pocket for it

    So his family and friends can give consent to do a hologram but no one wants to pool money together and find out his real killer.

    here is the thing though.....with 5 to 10 more years of technology improvements it could cost a company less and there is a huge market for themed events of artists who have died or a group with members who have died. Them michael jackson cirque du solei and the beatles cover band rain and many other tribute bands get racks on racks on racks by doing these shows.

    Now that this ? is shifting to hip hop its a whole new market of people to make money off. While now it will be only at special awards shows or big festivals i expect to see this ? more and more and years progress.

    Pretty soon there will be a hologram tour of every dead rapper, up on stage together looking like created players smh But, I saw the Coachella video, and it was pretty ... interesting how they had Pac up there. We'll see where this goes.

    On camera it looked real but being there live? The crowd didn't seem to really go all nuts to me.

    I could see the bigs like Pac, Nate and Biggie being used in the future. Maybe even concerts, they may be expensive but the concerts would pay for them.

    I could see this being big for an MJ concert.
