It’s no secret that it’s not easy to land a coveted gig playing at the world-renown Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival. The criteria of being cool while simultaneously being uncool enough to be relevant to the LA hipster scene can be a tough code to crack for bands aspiring to make the line-up. No one knows this better than Tupac’s Hologram, who didn’t make the 2013 roster after giving what was arguably the most buzzed about performance in Coachella history, last year.

“It’s f*cking stupid,” the Hologram said in an exclusive interview with THEPOPFIX. “I exhumed my own spirit, projected my a** to surprise the audience, and blew all y’all’s mind. What more do I have to do? Bleed?”

Although bleeding’s not an option for this popular projection, he certainly does have a point. When’s the last time you heard about Major Lazer, 2 Chainz, or La Roux doing anything that impressive?

“And it’s not just about me, either,” ‘Pac’s Hologram continued. “I’m speaking for all the holograms out there,” he said as he poured out a splash of a Hennessy cocktail for his deceased homies.

So is the hologram trend officially a thing of the past? Coachella organizers declined to comment when asked about the glaring omission of a hologram on this year’s line-up. Could this possibly be the end of the proverbial road for Tupac’s hologram? It’s very possible, as he disappeared into oblivion before our interview was over.

For all we know, Coachella-goers lucky enough to be in attendance last year might have witnessed a performance of a post-lifetime.
