As a thank you, we're told Dre made a donation to the rapper's charity ... The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TMZ also spoke with Dre's crewmate Daz Dillinger -- who tells us, Nate Dogg was originally supposed to appear as a hologram as well, but the decision was made at the last minute not to use him. Nate got a video tribute instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
