Last night the Coachella Music & Arts Festival went out on a high when during Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg’s set a hologram of 2Pac took the stage to the surprise of thousands of fans. The holographic Pac performed “Hail Mary” and “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted” alongside Snoop.
Where have you been rehearsing?
We rehearsed in Burbank and then we moved production to an airport hangar in Santa Monica because the stage is so huge, we need to rehearse lighting and all that type of stuff. The stage is amazing. I can’t wait for people to see it and to see people’s reaction to what actually takes place. There’s a lot of surprises and a lot of surprise guests. People are gonna be very happy when they see the show.
What material will you guys be performing?
em>We’re gonna basically be performing all of Dre’s hits and then Snoop’s. It’s going to be very epic and I’m just really grateful to be a part of history being made. Dre said that this year it will be 20 years that him and Snoop have been working together since they did “Deep Cover.” And that’s amazing to even be a part of this moment in their lives. I get to be onstage singing with everyone involved. It’s gonna be crazy.
Are we going to hear any new stuff? Maybe something off Detox?
Umm… OK, yes (laughs).
Rolling Stone reported that Eminem and Wiz Khalifa will be among the surprise guests.
I’m not gonna say anything. We’ll just have to see if they show up.
Nate Dogg is said to be appearing via a hologram, according to TMZ.
I’m not privy to that information, but there’s definitely a tribute to Nate Dogg.
What would you tell fans who are attending Coachella this weekend?
They can expect to have wide-open mouths and a jaw-dropping experience with this show. It’s gonna be very huge. Apparently it’s supposed to be like 100,000 people coming. It’s gonna be packed, it’s gonna be amazing, it’s gonna be fun. They’re gonna hear all their favorite songs and some stuff that they’ve been dying to hear.

Says Diplo,
“What we’re doing is a reggae record. It’s like Snoop Dogg and Major Lazer together. It’s all reggae and he’s singing and he’s doing a f—ing awesome job and I never knew it, but he had his heart in every song”
We know that Snoop is always being creative and willing to do anything. In retrospect, Snoop is a bonafied superstar if you think about all the films he’s done, the hit music, and everthing else. Maybe one day he’ll buy the Lakers…nah I doubt it. Kobe will beat him to it.
Seeing as he’s the most likable rapper in the history of rapperdom, it was only a matter of time before Snoop D-O-Double G ended up on The Price Is Right. Snoop co-hosted the daytime TV game show with Drew Carey, partaking in the program’s Showcase Showdown segment which includes prizes like a trip to New Orleans to watch Snoop live in concert and A NEW CAR!! (you gotta say it like that, b). Watch the clip to be entertained by The Doggfather’s hosting skills.
Sidenote: Can we bid on shawty that walked around the car though…*bites fist*

This should be on the soundtrack for that forthcoming movie that Snoop and Wiz will star in entitled Mac & Devin Go To High School.
If you can get past the corny host and puppet, David Banner makes his appearance with Snoop Dogg’s GGN. Half funny, half serious.
Watch as Dr. Dre presents Snoop Dogg with the BMI Urban Icon Award at the 2011 BMI Urban Awards above. After he accepts, Snoop D double OG joins Bootsy Collins, Game, Kurupt, Warren G, Daz Dillinger, The Lady of Rage, and Charlie Wilson to perform his classic “Who Am I (What’s My Name).” If that’s not swag I don’t know what is!

Kendrick Lamar brought out half of the West Coast hip-hop scene at his sold out concert in L.A. last night. Pretty dope moment for the West. More footage from the show, including a performance of “Michael Jordan” after the jump.
There’s one in every crowd, yet no two are the same. They’re authentics. One of a kinds. All shapes, all sizes, all unique. They’re the ones that stand out. They’re the ones that flow freely. And they’re all united in Originality.
Behind The Scenes At the Glasses Malone video shoot in Brooklyn. (East 21st and Church) There was an earlier altercation where at DJ was slapped in the face by a local crip member. Things get ugly at the 2:09 mark. Birch from POW-TV was there for EVERYTHING!
