"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Soak Up The Sun
History In The Making
I Aynt A Killer But Don't Push Me
Just as Prophecy had Prophesied... The Greatest Hip-Hop Artist / Revolutionary / Orator Of All Time was Resurrected Last Night To Join The Stage With Dr. Dre and Snoop, The Dogg Pound with Daz Dillinger and Kurupt, and Wiz Khalifa and Warren G, 50 Cent and Eminem.
The Holographic 2Pac performed Hail Mary and 2 Of Amerika’s Most Wanted, bring joy and delight to not only Tupac fans, but to Afeni Shakur who approved the performance after being asked by the Doctor.
The Hologram, which was used for Mariah Carey in Europe, was also intended to bring Nate Dogg on stage, but Dre and Snoop decided to give Nate a video tribute instead.
This was definitely a sight for sore eyes and a sound for sore ears, for those who loved Tupac and all that he stood for.
Hopefully last night will remind the World just how much violence can rob not only a life, not only a family, but an entire World.
We Will Miss You Always Pac.
Remember me, as an Outcast Outlaw
Another album out that’s what I’m about, More
Gettin raw till the day I see my casket
Buried as a G while the whole world remembers me
Until the end of time

Dr. Dre remembers His friend in the best way possible... On The Stage
So the cat is finally out of the bag. My peeps made me keep this quiet, but it’s out now.
Dr. Dre began enlisting the entire former Death Row Records and Aftermath Crews and original G-Funk Era Creators to join his Coachella performance, including Kurupt and Daz from Dogg Pound, Eminem, and Warren G.
We even know that Warren G. has been tapped to be in the latest Funny Or Die skit, to be entitled “U B Da Judge“, a satyr on Music Contest Shows where Music Stars of Today audition to be the Music Show Judges of Tomorrow. However, Due to the urgency of Dr. Dre’s intended Nate Dogg tribute, to include a Hologram to join him on stage, Warren even had to cancel on filming his portion of the skit.
So all you Coachella fans, be prepared. Nate Dogg is one of the most Beloved Icons in Hip-Hop History. His unfortunate passing brought sadness to millions worldwide, and a rejoicing in the fact that we did have as great a gift as Nate Dogg in our World. He will be performing numerous songs with all the artists involved… possibly even Tupac.

What's a Dogg Without His Treats? Snoop And A Nice Bleez
daamnit if the entire West Coast didn’t come out for Snoop’s party to launch Blast from the makers of Colt 45 and Snoop’s new album “Doggumentary” which was released on MySpace earlier this week… Kurupt, Warren G, Too Short, DJ Quik and … wait, hold up !! Paris and Nicky Hilton?
Wire Image: Who woulda Thought Paris and Nicky would be reppin Thug Life !!
Now if this were to have happened back in the day, Snoop might’ve risked losing some “street cred”… but lucky for him, not only is he a superstar in his own right, but Hip-Hop culture is completely intertwined now with Pop Culture. As a matter of fact, having Paris and Nicky at your Hip-Hop party probably adds to your street cred, cause it shows just how much your music crosses all boundaries.
And boy, was Colt 45 really trying their hardest to sell that “Blast”… They sure did the damn thang… They even brought out 101 Damenations lookin fine and crowdin up the entire sidewalk across Sunset Blvd. outside of Trousdale, where the event was being held.

Outside of the club, DJ Quik gave love to Nate Dogg’s families to the cameras… and in addition to that, it’s lookin like DJ Quik may just be down to work with the kid. Stay tuned and I’ll keep you posted on that shizz.
Other celebrity guests included Ryan Cabrera, Megan Goode, Chris Evans, and Natasha Henstridge, as well as the always beautiful Ashlan Gorse from E!. You know that chick is tall as fu*k!!
And you know what, it def felt like an old school West Coast Gangsta Rap party since there was like 6 squad cars of sheriffs outside, just itchin and waitin for some whoridaz.
Luckily, there wasn’t one. Keep the peace ladies and gentlemen
btw, u know people have been wondering why Snoop would release his new album on MySpace. Execs were telling the company they need to turn it around or else… I guess this is their first step in heading back into our culture… and they must’ve paid Snoop some major loot $$$
