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.
