Tupac Shakur and Nate Dogg to “Appear” with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg at Coachella
If the rumours are true, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are putting on a show for the ages. Besides having the coveted Sunday night headlining slot at this weekend’s Coachella festival, and with guest appearances from Eminem, Wiz Khalifa and Warren G, reports say that deceased rappers Tupac Shakur and Nate Dogg will appear via hologram for one song each (via NME). Tupac will join Dr. Dre for California Love, while Nate Dogg will join him for The Next Episode. Because the rumour has hit the public, if this doesn’t happen now, I’m pretty sure the crowd will undeservedly be pissed. If this hologram thing takes off, can we perhaps have a Beatles reunion, say Coachella 2013? Think about it.
Perhaps You Are Doing Something Wrong When the President of the United States Calls You a Jackass
Despite a tanking economy, conflicts in various countries, and unemployment problems in the USA, President Barack Obama had time to weigh in on his opinion of Kanye West, and Kanye vs. Jay-Z. Previously, President Obama had called Kanye West a jackass, and apparently he still stands by this decision (via Yahoo). In an interview with the Atlantic, Obama was asked if he was a Jay-Z guy or a Kanye guy. “Jay-Z … although I do like Kanye. He’s a Chicago guy, smart. He’s very talented.” The reporter followed up with, “Even though you called him a jackass?” “He is a jackass,” Obama replied. “But he’s talented.”
Good luck sleeping tonight, Kanye.
