Blender magazine picks Tupac as the most overrated artist of all time
Since former Rolling Stone big cheese Joe Levy took the helm over at Blender, the magazine hasn’t had much in the way of snarky lists like they used to. According to a Reuters report, that’s fit to change with their October issue, which features a list of the most overrated things related to music. What’s Blender’s pick for the most overrated? One Tupac Shakur.
The list reportedly also features The Grammy’s at number 7 (yawn), encores at number 12 (shrug), and Pink Floyd at number 14 (that one I’ll buy). But picking Tupac at number one is as pandering as the Palin pick (oooh, burn): it seems like a sad attempt to drum up some publicity for the magazine as it struggles to keep pace with Spin and Rolling Stone. Plus, you can’t really call it a hip-hop bias considering Lil Wayne was on the cover of the last issue, so there’s something else at play.

LES
I think that Lil'Wayne is the most overrated, I hate him
Bob
Weezy told me the same thing about you.
Weird.
And lol@Blender.
That is the worst "music" magazine i've ever read.
Tupac most overrated? Damn, that Blender magazine sucks. Worst magazine of all time.
Archie
Blender & Lil Wayne???
ELVIS, IS THE MOST OVERRATED ARTIST OF ALL TIMES!!
Muffy
Wow you guys are really dumb, just because the magazine says that Tupac is most overrated dosn't mean they say he sucks. They say that people make him up to be something he's not. People say that nobody can come close to him. When you have rappers like Nas, Rakim, Kool G Rap, KRS-ONE, Big Daddy Kane, GZA and all those legends.

It's not about being dumb (I have a degree at 21) Pawel. Nas, Rakim... are great rappers and that's it. Pac goes beyond rap. He goes beyond the act of mentioning difficult English terms that are illogical and don't make sense (read Rakim and company). He spoke the truth as explicitly as it was supposed to be told. His true peers are the likes of Che, Malcolm X and Mandela. Musically, only Bob Marley and Elvis (The King) can be mentioned in the same paragraph with him. Peace.
A to Z
Blender sucks
Moe
blender on lil queezy sack to much....I cancelled my blender for all the garbage thats in it horrible magazine...If wayne wasnt ever into Tupac why does he mention his name in the song? its pathetic trying to think hes the greatest LOL terrible

F__K BLENDER
who the f*ck is blender? tupac is the greatest rapper of all time. if it wasnt for tupac music wouldnt be where it is today. lil wayne please!
hagoo
This is the biggest bulls*** i've ever heard. Tupac, if anything is underrated. He accomplished so much within a mere 5 years of being on the rap scene. He's sold over 70 million albums and has the biggest selling solo artist album of all time; "All eyez on me". Let's not forget that he wasn't anything like other rappers back then and even today. He was trying to get a message across that we as a society need to change. I quote his song 'Unconditional Love', "eternally in my mission is the elevation of today's generation if I could make em listen." Whoever the f*** blender is, he's an idiot and needs to do some research before he can get on his high horse and say he knows anything about rap, or music for that matter (haha, saying Pink Floyd is overrated too!)
PK 87
stupid (had to censor this comment becasue of stupid blender) Blender and this "overrated" artist issue - If 2pac was so overrated, then why the hell has he changed the world the way he has? I say Blender put that stuff in their mag to get some publicity - Good tactic, but that stuff is like blasphemy - I say F you, blender and the editors for writing that stuff. RIP Tupac Amaru Shakur
Blac Haze

Ron Paul
