Eazy-E Is Resurrected at Rock The Bells 2013 Kickoff in Los Angeles

It first began with Tupac Shakur at Coachella in 2012, now another rap pioneer was brought back to life at Rock the Bells 2013. On what would have been his 49th birthday, Eazy-E returned in hologram form at the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino, California on Saturday night. Known as “The Godfather Of Gangsta Rap,” the leader of N.W.A. appeared alongside his protégés Bone Thugs-N-Harmony for a virtual medley performance of his 90s classics “Real Muthap****kin G’s,” “Straight Outta Compton,” “Boyz N Tha Hood,” and “For tha Love of $.”

Along with Eazy-E, the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard of Wu-Tang Clan will also be tributed by virtual performance during Day 2 of Rock the Bells on Sunday night. Other Day 1 performers included Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy, Kid Cudi, Common, Big K.R.I.T., Jhené Aiko, A-Trak, Pusha T, and Curren$y.
