Dre's Coachella message-thanks fans/quashes Tupac tour rumours (Video)

On Sunday night, April 22 when he's set to close Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Dr. Dre posted a video message from the backstage of the event. The rapper thanked his fans for all the support they gave to him, and took time to talk about rumors suggesting he would tour with a virtual Tupac Shakur.

Wearing a white t-shirt and cap, the Doc said to the camera, "It was strictly for Coachella, get it right. I want to get rid of all the rumors out there. This was not done for a tour." He, however, didn't completely rule out the possibility, "If a tour happens, we'll see. This was done strictly for Coachella 2012, just for you."

Dre became talk of the town on the first weekend of Coachella after he and Snoop Dogg brought Tupac to life via hologram image during their set. The likes of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Warren G, Kendrick Lamar and Wiz Khalifa have all gushed about the stunt. In a recent radio interview, T.I. called it "an 'oh s**t' moment."

In a separate chat, Nas said, "It just shows you how amazing Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are, and how they hard they're riding for their West Coast brother Tupac, in the name of Hip Hop music. I thought it was a great look for Hip Hop as a whole - it stepped Hip Hop up a notch. And it was also revolutionary on a performance scale...that's what it's all about."

Common, meanwhile, raved, "I think the fact that we can continue to pay homage to what Tupac meant to Hip Hop and to music and to the culture [is] great. Unfortunately the brother passed, but the fact that we can give people the vehicle for people to enjoy and remember what he means to music and our culture is great as a whole."

Dre himself stated, "Hopefully, you know, different artists are able to bring out their favorite artists." He added, "Hopefully, we can see Jimi Hendrix and Marvin Gaye."

  5. At first I was like okay, no detox news.. that sucks but hey at least we'll get a nice tour, so that will be dope. But no, thats not gonna happen either. It's clear to me now, detox is NEVER coming out unless someone steals his computer or until after he dies. He does not care about his true fans!!! I'm done with this faggot! Peace

  9. Dre lives in the past keep performing his past hits still cause he cant make new ones !!!
    he's 47 years old with no drive left!!!
    If it does come out I hope he sell like 7,000 copies for making all his fans wait
    also the old dre would never be settling for garbage songs he releases as of late..
    Everyone knows he is washed up he knowsis it also but dont say nothing out of respect for a has been

    Dude old dre would not relay on kid producers to make his hits
    He is the greatest sap in hip hop
    people in the music industry make all this hype for him like a mystery. Album
    truth is he is a washed up lazy producer they should make a movie of this loser

  14. Fair weather fans? Enough is enough, 10 years to drop an album is not being perfectionist, it's something else. He should atleast say that he have given up on detox so we dont have to be let down over and over again.

    Fan since the chronic

  15. You guys made the mistake of putting up your own goal post expecting Dre to drop Detox material or news at Coachella based on nothing. Like clockwork, the thunderstorm of bitching and taking the ball and going home swarms this blog like mad. Told you so. Also predicted a great set and the Tupac hologram would get lost in Detox expectations because some people can't enjoy anything. If Detox was dropped next week the same people would shit all over it.

    I don't know why you guys gotta jet but also kick Uzee to shut it down for you because you're mad at nothing. Be mad at yourselves and let it be because if and when Dre does someday drop Detox news, we all know you're coming back within the hour. I don't get mad because I don't expect anything and instead I spend my energy on other things than making up new reasons to complain Dre didn't do this or that. He'll drop the information or material when he drops it and unlike Jeff, I'm not hanging all over Dre and stomping my feet because he didn't do what I demanded. I mean come on guys, did you REALLY expect Dre to magically drop unreleased Detox shit at a Dre/Snoop nostalgia set?
