By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 09/04/2008

TupacTupac overrated? That's what Blender is saying in an upcoming issue where the run down their list of the Most Overrated in Music.

The late Tupac Shakur, who is considered legendary by most, tops the mag's tongue-in-cheek list that also includes "places, trends and other junk in rock," according to Reuters, which can be read in their upcoming October issue.

Tupac was killed more than 10 years ago in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, and has released more than a dozen albums since his tragic death. Those albums helped him sell more records than he ever did while alive, and has put him into a category among music greats.

While Blender says the rapper had "insane rock-star charisma," they also stated that he "larded records with self-mythologizing, mediocre filler."

In its June issue, the magazine interviewed Lil Wayne, who listed Pac among his top five rappers, but then admitted: "I can't front: I was never into Pac."

Other finalists of Blender's overrated list includes the Grammys at no. 7, encores at no. 12, Pink Floyd at no. 14 and "the music you loved as a teenager" at no. 23.

The Grammys, the mag said that sitting of watching the awards ceremony was "like watching paint dry on Celine Dion's forehead."

The October issue hits newsstands next week.
