Snoop was with Pac in new york the week of when he got shot in vegas. yall know the lil dispute with snoop and pac(if thats what you wanna call it) was bc Snoop wanted to leave deathrow and he buried the hatchet with biggie and he tried to get pac to do the same to put that east vs west shit behind them before someone got hurt but suge was running pac and basically pac did whatever he said. There was a snoop dogg special on bet back in the 90s where he said it.
also C-BO is a fucking liar he admitted to only meeting pac like twice im sorry but thats not knowing someone if you only hung with them twice and talked on the phone with them a few times. Snoop was around Pac almost everyday in some form.
iTS OBVIOUS THAT PAC WOULDVE BEEN ON STAGE WITH SNOOP AND DRE AGAIN AND HE WOULDVE DROPPED HIS ISSUES WITH BIGGIE. HIM AND NAS MADE UP PEOPLE GOTTA REMEMBER PAC WAS SUGE KNIGHTS SLAVE BASICALLY SO HE HAD TO DO ANYTHING SUGE SAID BE SUGE LITERALLY OWNED HIM. HE THE ONE WHO PUT TEH MILLIONS UP TO GET HIM OUT OF PRISON AND HAD HIM IN CONTRACT SO PAC HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FIGHT HIS BATTLES. U CAN TELL PAC WAS READY TO LEAVE THE ROW AND THATS WHAT COST HIM HIS LIFE. ITS ALL HISTORY NOW. ITS A FUCKING HOLOGRAM FOR TRIBUTE SO I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY A COUPLE PEOPLE ON HERE TRIPPIN OVER IT ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DONT KNOW NON THEM NIGGAS OR INVOLVED WITH IT. AFENI CAN DO WHAT TEH FUCK SHE WANTS SO GET OVER IT. SHE DOING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS SHE MAKING SURE HER SONS LEGACY IS RELEVANT STILL.

Afeni Shakur Praises Tupac Coachella Hologram
Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, found the moment to be "thrilling."
Tupac Shakur made a cameo appearance last night at Coachella 2012 during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s set, showing up in the form of a hologram to perform “Hail Mary” and “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.”
According to TMZ, Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, was “positively thrilled” about his virtual appearance during the show. She was not in attendance, but instead watched it on the Internet. For Afeni, the moment was “thrilling,” yet “bittersweet.”
Prior to the show, Dr. Dre asked Afeni for her approval and she said yes. In exchange for allowing his likeness to be used, Dre made a donation to The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation.

C-Bo and the dam siccness would probably praise this performance if they had him perform "Ain't Hard 2 Find"
I think more than a few people are confused. They're falling on the side of the Hologram because they don't want to negate the fact that it was supremely entertaining, when in fact it may not have been the morally correct thing to do. I mean... don't get it twisted... I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the show, but hat doesn't mean it was right. There are a lot of things in this life that I do, that I enjoy, even though I KNOW DAMN WELL they're DEAD ASS wrong.
(It's also kinda ironic that we're having this conversation about a person who was actually THE shining example of the duality of man.)

i'm not a fan of recreations, and most recreations of classic songs, movies, tv shows, etc are not very good imo. i like forward-creativity, and even though this hologram is relatively new it's just recreating something old and is part of the bigger problem of the masses enjoying recreations. it's all a $$$ thing to the people pushing it, not really for the art.

You can love someone while limiting your involvement with them. Honestly you sound a little idealistic about family... in a lot of them "love" is not a part of their vocabulary. I'm not saying that's how it was with Pac - he seems to have had at least somewhat of a relationship with her - but from what I've heard and know of him, he was not in the habit of trusting her with large financial assets... that's pretty typical of how you deal with a parent who is liable to flip it for a fix.
I'm happy that you feel comfortable entrusting your folks with everything in the event something happens to you/you die... it's not like that for everybody. To answer your question, I would but I know a lot of people who rightfully would not or even should not.
