Tupac at Coachella. While there were plenty of memorable performances and an equal number of WTF moments at the first weekend of this year’s Coachella, there’s only one from last night that we guarantee everyone is talking about this morning, and It happened early this morning around 12:30 or so our time, when the dearly departed Tupac miraculously ascended from the stage during Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre‘s set. After a shout out to Snoop, Dre and, er, Coachella — a fest launched three years after his death — the slain rapper spit posthumous fire on “Hail Mary,” followed by a spirited duet with Snoop on “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” from ‘Pac’s 1996 album, All Eyez On Me. Everybody presumably knew it was coming, but it still bugged everybody the fuck out.
