Blender Magazine Calls Tupac The Most Overrated Person In Music

Dead rapper Tupac “2Pac” Shakur, the hip-hop icon who sold more records after he was murdered than during his brief career, is the most overrated person in music, according to music magazine Blender.
Shakur tops a tongue-in-cheek list that also includes “places, trends and other junk in rock,” Blender said in its upcoming October issue, due on newsstands next week.

But while Shakur was a decent rapper with “insane rock-star charisma,” according to Blender, he also “larded records with self-mythologizing, mediocre filler.”

It’s not the first time the pages of Blender have been used to bring down Shakur a few notches. In its June issue, rapper Lil Wayne listed him among his top five rappers, but then admitted: “I can’t front: I was never into Pac.”

In today's music news: the ever controversial Tupac Shakur has
just released another album under the alias Makaveli.
Music insiders are running wild trying to rearrange other artist
street dates, in fear of a wipeout in retail interchart movement.
Although no one knows the exact cause of the new album;
resources tell me a number of less fortunate rappers
have joined together in conspiracy to assassinate the character
of not only Mr. Shakur, This nigga did that shit 4real.

Comment by DMan1281 on September 5, 2008 at 10:28am: thats so true I mean think about it Jay-Z said it best;" Men lie, women lie, numbers don't according to the numbers Pac didn't do half the sells as Jay-Z or Lil Wayne Jeezy or Kayne or 50 and he was out before Limewire(lol). I bet if the cats I just named was to be honest and speak on how they feel they would say the same thing!! To be honest he was never the Ceo of his company and his own record label didnt produce any superstars so why is he such a legend? Can someone comment back with facts that can be proven and not just fan based facts?
