Suge Knight Says Tupac Isn’t Dead, Criticizes Hologram
Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight is giving more life to the speculation that Tupac Shakur isn’t dead. Suge was a guest last week on Los Angeles’ 93.5 KDay where he said the rap icon was never shot and killed in 1996. Knight points out that no one has actually seen “Tupac dead,” adding that he paid three-million dollars to a man to cremate the rapper, but never heard from the guy again. 
Tupac’s image returned this month as a hologram during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s Coachella set.
Suge tells TMZ that he didn’t appreciate the fact that Tupac’s image wasn’t wearing his customary Death Row Records chain.
Suge goes on to compare removing Tupac’s necklace to “taking the Raiders symbol off the Raiders.”
Tupac’s Coachella Hologram Performance Video and Possible Tours : Afeni Shakur Pleased
Fans who didn’t make it out to Coachella this year to watch the hologram of Tupac Shakur perform may be in luck. The “Wall Street Journal” is citing a source who says the virtual Tupac may be heading out on the road. Digital Domain Media Group Inc. created the hologram, and they’ve apparently been in discussions with representatives for Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre about a possible tour. One possible option would have Snoop, Dre, Tupac and fellow rap stars like 50 Cent, Eminem and Wiz Khalifa performing in stadiums. A second option would feature just Tupac, Snoop and Dre touring smaller venues across the country. A spokeswoman for Dre and Snoop declined to comment about any possible tours.
