Editors at U.S. powder magazine Blender have sparked disputation among hip-hop fans by naming legendary rapper TUPAC SHAKUR the most overrated artist in music.
The late California Love hitmaker, who was gunned down in 1996, is considered by many to be an ikon of rap music, and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-selling hip-hop creative person of all time for shifting more than than 75 million albums worldwide.But Shakur has topped the medicine publication's facetiously 'Most Overrated in Music' countdown, which features in their forthcoming October (08) issue.The editors admit Shakur had "insane rock-star personal appeal", but read he besides "larded records with self-mythologizing, mediocre filler".Other entrants in the list include the Grammy Awards at numeral seven, encores at number 12, and rockers Pink Floyd at 14.
