Deceased Hip Hop icon Tupac Shakur has been named the most overrated person in music by music magazine Blender, according to Reuters.
Pac lands at the top of a list which includes "places, trends and other junk in rock," said Blender in its upcoming October issue, which hits newsstands next week.
Other overrated finalists on the list include the Grammy Awards at number seven, encores at number 12, Pink Floyd at number 14 and "the music you loved as a teenager" at number 23.
Tupac gained a cult-like following after his unsolved, premature death at the hands of a shooter in Las Vegas in 1996. Since then, he's released more than a dozen albums. Adding to his mythical status, many conspiracy theories surrounding the death of the rapper arose, some asserting that Tupac is still, in fact, alive.
According to Blender, Tupac was a decent rapper with "insane rock-star charisma," though he also "larded records with self-mythologizing, mediocre filler."

My boy Juan wrote about Tupac in Blender on HN and to be honest I kinda think Tupac is seriously overrated. What makes him this rap god that people try to make him? I'll give credit where credit is due. He was good when he was alive but would he still be relevant today if he had never died?
