This is a little disturbing/upsetting

Iron Mike may bust some heads if they don't leave the dead in peace. And I'm ok with that.

I'm sure everyone by now has heard or seen Tupac's "live" performance at Coachella by now. Ok, yes, I am upset Nate Dogg was not present in hologram form as well, as rumored, but that's besides the point. What everyone may not know is that Tupac may hit the road. What? Yes. The company behind it, Digital Domain Media Group Inc.*, created the 2-D visual representation of Tupac from scratch, based off of the movements recorded in prior performances before his untimely death.

It was cool and all to see this one time at a big music festival, but to bring it on tour? I don't know why, but I'm hesitant. It's a mix of spookiness and possibly being unfaithful to the original. Let's just hope the representatives talking this talk are the same ones who said Dr. Dre's Detox was coming out soon.

UNFORTUNATE UPDATE: Raekwon has thoughts about doing the same to ODB? Please say no, Ms. Jones. Please.
