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.”
Just10- I can never consider 2Pac overrated simply because of the amount of things he did in his short career. He made hundreds of songs and many of them became classic hits! (Lil Wayne is trying to do the same thing but how many of his will become classic?) Pac probably didn’t have a classic album that is on the lines of some artists like Big, Nas, and Jay-z but his collection of songs can stand up against any artist in any genre! Plus 2Pac is one of the only artist to make me feel a lot of emotions while listening to a song! Overrated? Please!
