It’s nothing but a “gangsta” party hosted by Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg with the help of 2Pac, the latter bit of which is a little unsettling. It’s a hologram, but visual technology has gotten so advanced; we’re way pass 2001; that you might mistake it for an impersonator.
2Pac should be limited to his Snoop and Dre collaborations. Letting him perform Hail Mary, a song from an album he called Dre “gay-ass” on, takes away from the show’s overall theme, as does other songs. At one point, the crowd is Jumping Around to House Of Pain.
Still, even with those flaws, the show is dope. Really. Snoop smoked a blunt on stage. Eminem and 50 Cent are also featured as surprise guests, along with other Death Row and Aftermath affiliated artists. All that hip-hop star power on one stage is a sight to see.
