I don’t even know where to start after a headline like that, man those Tupac stans are going to loose their minds when they read this…
Reuters reports:
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – 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.
Other overrated finalists included 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.
I personally thought Pac was the greatest way before he died but of course his death made him even more of an iconic figure and the same can be said for B.I.G., I mean Biggie only had two albums and he’s “Top 5 Dead or Alive“. To say Pac is overrated is crossing the line but will definitely help them sell more copies of the magazine because of it. What do you guys think?

“ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME”
NO ONE ELSE BITCHES!
9-5-2008
honestly, I think they are right, look at your top 5 dead or alive list, and think about it, Tupac is on there probably but why, Tupac was great but his career was short.
Dont give him the benefit just cuz hes dead. R.I.P.
9-5-2008
i bet a white dude made it i bet chu
9-5-2008
IF PAC WAS ALIVE HE WOULD STIL RUN SHIT, IT GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM BEING DEAD (R.I.E.P)…..EVEN JAY WOULD ADMIT IT HAHA..
9-5-2008
First of all this magazine sucks they always wanted to be like stuff magazine. They didnt mentioned all the albums Pac dropped before he died and that he was one of the hardest working artist in the game at that time.Obviously the guy who wrote that shit dont know nothing about hip hop!
9-5-2008
All I got to say is for them to say shit like that, takes balls. (I bet they wouldnt say that if he was still here.) Sayin that is like sayin Michael Jackson is not the king of pop, Twista aint the best fast flow, etc. They just sayin it because they tryin to make shit so they mag can sell, it’s probably aint sellin shit. He way better then Biggie, and killed his career wit the diss he made towards him. If anything, Pac’ is Under-Rated.
9-5-2008
WTF is a “Blender”?
LOL
9-5-2008
I think I will leave the most over rated of all time to Lil Weezy
9-5-2008
WTF , HW cn people say hes overated? the most overated rapper of all tym is defiantley LiL wAYNE
9-6-2008
man that magazine doesnt know what tha hell they talkin about. TUPAC IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE one of the greastes rappers around. he has always been great at tha game but people never tried to hear that at tha time…. but when he died, all of a sudden, even tha richest people started to say he was great just cause everyone else who knew tupac before that was sayin that..
bottom line, tupac is far from overrated!
9-7-2008
f blender. Machiavelli the don always gonna live on!!
9-7-2008
I don’t consider Pac as the greatests of all time but he is at the top of the list and no one was and is still respected and felt like Pac. He was and is still like a great leader of a revolution alla Martin or Malcolm. When Pac spoke the world listened, not everyone can do that and people still take stock in what Pac was saying back then today just like Martin and Malcolm, for that reason alone you can’t even begin to say Pac was overa….. I cant say it either, Certified. They just trying to get peoples attention but they are going to lose readers respect by printing up dumb shit like this.
9-7-2008
I will have to agree with this. Tupac is definitely overrated as far as being an MC. Be honest with yourself you didn’t care about Tupac until he was in trouble with the law. If he didn’t have all the controversy behind him he would never have made it to the top of anyone’s list. His run-ins with the law were his help. Nobody really payed him any attention beforehand. Lil Wayne is Overrated but so is Pac. His lyrical flow was mediocre. Compare his catalog to anybody worth mentioning, maybe Big Pun, Big L and of course B.I.G.. He had a whole lot of garbage music. I challenge anybody to compare him to any of these people song for song. He never had an ingenious wordplay. He never was mauch for a lyrical prowess. Compare his body of work to lets say a Jay-Z. No comparison. Or even a Jadakiss. He is pat of the reason why Hip-Hop is dead. Look at the forefathers Run-DMC, KRS-1, Slick Rick. Where does he fit in?
9-7-2008
black people are ridiculous. but i’d fuck ‘em
9-7-2008
WTF. Respect The Respected. Pac Was The Gratest Of All Time. With Out Him There Would Be No Swag In Hip-Hop. It Would Of Been I Shoot You This, Fuck You That.. But “I Get Around” Ya DiG. See Me With A Bitch On The East Side. OutLaw. O&O
9-7-2008
all i gotta say to the person who wrote this shit….kill yo self!! on some real shit…obviously these dudes dont know the first thing about rap

9-10-2008
NIGGA’S TALK ALOT SHIT BUT THA’S AFTER I’M GONE CUZ THEY FEAR ME IN A PHYSICAL FORM LET BE KNOWN.
TUPAC WAS THE ILLEST REALEST IN THE GAME NEVER FORGET THA
9-12-2008
These are not my words but they are the words of some writer and I copied the text because it was an interesting point of view to which i lean toward …
Don’t get the proper language twisted … I am 37 and i grew up listening to rap/hip-hop so I know what I am talking about.
Here is the article …
For some reason, a few readers of this site have labeled me as being a hater of the late Tupac Shakur. I know, I know, I’m from the East Coast and happened to be down with P. Diddy and the Bad Boy crew (no homo) during the middle of the East/ West coast beef, but I never saw myself as a hater. As a matter of fact, one of my favorite hip hop songs ever is “Hit Em Up” where he basically told me “fuck you too” for being down with Bad Boy. Anyways, I was extremely saddened by Mr. Shakur’s untimely demise back in 1996 and even commemorated his death by purchasing all of his cd’s that I didn’t own at the time. At the time of his death, there was a lot of talk about how dude was a poet, a leader of our generation and so on and so on. Of course I associated all this talk with the type of sentimental shit that’s said upon someone’s passing. As time passed though, I became intrigued by how dude was becoming some type of legend. I also became annoyed as fuck.
Last week, I was going through all my songs on my ipod and since all of 2pac’s material came up first, I decided that I would give dude a second chance and listen to his music, just in case I had been unfairly judging his status as a hip hop icon. I listened to his first lp, “2Pacalypse Now”, released in 1991, and believe me when I emphatically say that that album sounds like pure effin garbage and I’m somewhat pissed off that I shelled out some of my hard earned cash on this piece of possum shit. There’s like no decent sounding track on it and I can’t decipher what’s worse, his feeble attempt to rhyme or the piss poor sub par production. Even the “breakout” hit single “Brenda’s Got A Baby” was pure kaa kaa, but being that that was like the first rap song dedicated in it’s entirety to every hood rat ghetto single mother across the country, it was deemed to be prolific by every baby momma alive. Eff that, that shit was weak by any hip hop classic standard. “2Pacalypse Now” got a expeditious delete from my library and I realize I must have been pretty effin amped up a year ago, upon getting a new ipod , what with me importing trash like this unto my itunes library.
Next up was his 2nd Lp, “Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.S” released in 1993. First and foremost, the title deserves a huge NO HOMO sticker on the cd cover, what with some gay ass title like that. Secondly, I don’t know if the periods embedded in “N.I.G.G.A.S.” is supposed to mean something encoded or some strange Tupac form of Ebonics, whatever, I couldn’t give a rats scrotum about it’s meaning as it’s just plain stupid, then and now!!! The only song on that album that comes even close to being hot is “I Get Around”, but I always saw that as being a Digital Underground song featuring Pac as their weed carrying side artist. What with his first LP being all whack, the Underground decided they would help their lil homey out, similar to how Jay Z helps his lil homey Memphis Bleek out every now and then. Production on that song was tight, Pac’s flow improved dramatically overnight, but Shock G stole the show with his classic line “I’m Shock G, the one who put the satin on your panties.” The rest of the album really really really sucked much moose cock and once again I was pissed that I spent some cash on this vile piece of cat vomit. As I expeditiously deleted this crap from my library, I realized that I must have really been emotional when dude died, what with me including this shit in my music collection. Now I know this lp was released shortly after Pac’s “stunning” acting debut “Juice”, and a whole bunch of people got caught up in his portrayal of the “Bishop” character, but to me, his character suffered from a severe case of bi-polar based mental issues and since I actually knew cats like that back in the day in Brooklyn, I wasn’t impressed since they were all mental bitch made niggas until they had a gun in their hands. In addition, since “Juice” was Pac’s movie, why was the hottest song on the actual soundtrack “Know The Ledge” by Eric B. and Rakim? Sheet, Pac’s music was nowhere on the whole effin cd!!! A lot of people bought into it, but I for one didn’t sip the “juice”.
Next up was “Me Against The World” released in 1995. Now I gotta hand it to that nigga Pac, the hype surrounding this album’s release was incredible and effin unheard of at the time. First, dude got all shot up with five hot ones in his ass (no homo) in a New York studio in 1994 and SURVIVES!!! He then checks himself out of the hospital for “security” reasons and also, because he has to make it to court on a rape charge. I remember the image of Pac getting wheeled out of the courthouse days after being shot, all bandaged up with his middle finger pointed straight to the heavens and thinking “What a gully ass crazy muh fucker this dude is turning into!” He then gets sentenced to a bid in jail and starts blaming like the entire East Coast for all of his misfortunes and I’m feeling really sorry for dude, what with his little ass getting all plundered (no homo) all Oz style behind bars. Then the single “Dear Mama” comes out and it’s the first time dude has great production, rapping skills are intact and he’s saying some shit EVERYBODY can relate to. That song right there is genius in the same way Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” is geniuos, its an effin holiday song that will get played like forever and ever. An effin Mother’s Day song!!!! The only other song on there that’s worthy of a playback is “Old School” what with its tight production and Pac’s improved rhyme cadence. The rest of the album is ehh, lukewarm, not as bad as his prior two releases, but decent enough, especially since the hype behind it made it damn near impossible not to wonder what this crazy ass nigga was talking about!!! Other than the two aforementioned songs, the rest of the lp got deleted from my library.
1996 was the year “All Eyez On Me” hit the streets. With this lp, the world was introduced to the “new and improved” Tupac Shakur. Now down with the infamous Suge Knight and signed to the most dangerous record label of all time, Death Row Records, Pac was geared to drop a classic, especially since he was now armed with one of hip hop’s greatest producers of all time, Dr. Dre. In addition, Pac single handedly orchestrated the weird but historical East/West coast beef and spit venom in every interview about Bad Boy, Diddy, B.I.G. and almost all things East related. Man, dude was like one unstoppable train wreck, impossible to turn away from. Album wise, dude was at the top of his game with the instant classics “Ambitionz As A Ridah” and“Hearts Of Men” (no homo), but now that dude has demonstrated that he has finally learned how to rhyme, he fucks it up by putting too many corny sounding weed carriers on his album. Yeah, cats like Snoop, Richie Rich and even Nate Dogg I can understand, but what in the eff is a Big Syke and a Rappin 4 Tay doing on this joint? Even “Got My Mind Made Up” featuring Method Man and Red Man sounds forced what with Pac declaring civil war on New York. How the fuck did they end up on that track? Finally, I don’t know whose idea it was to make this lp here a double cd, but with too many cuts and too many effin weed carriers, shit just got confusing along the way and would’ve been a better (not classic) cd with like only ten songs.
Finally “The Don Killuminati, The 7 Day Theory” recorded right before and released right after his death in 1996. (I in no way count the hundred or so other albums released after this one, since dude is dead and who knows what the fuck type of “studio magic” went into putting those other shits together.) I have to admit, this was really Tupac at his best, with his new character Makaveli sounding all raw and angry, dude really let you know he had gone way the fuck off the deep end and had become one crazy mother fucker!!!! Beats were tighter than anything ever produced for him, dude had rabid venom in his voice like he was infected by rage, and boy did he let everyone have it, from Jay Z on down to his own producer and label mate Dr. Dre!!!! No one was safe from his insane verbal ass whipping. This was the closest dude had to having a classic album. The reason it fell short? 25 more unknown weed carriers included in almost every effin joint!!!! If I were Pac and had blazing tracks like “Hail Mary” or “Intro/Bomb First”, there’s no way in hell I would allow my whack ass lackey’s to be featured on those tracks, NO EFFIN WAY!!! That being said, this lp had like four solid joints on it, the two I just mentioned along with “Toss It Up” (no homo), “Me And My Girlfriend” and “Against All Odds” which was the perfect song to end his career with. Throw in my favorite “Hit ‘Em Up” which was also recorded around the time this album was being produced (sans weed carriers off course) and you have a decent discography of like 16 strong records (actually 10 strong records once weed carrier and side artist elements are factored in).
After taking all of this in, I can understand the Tupac hype, which comes down to two points:
1) Tupac, if he deserved any accolade, was that throughout the course of his career, he never let go of his initial acting role in “Juice” and lp by lp, he perfected that role until he eventually and actually became that psycho bi-polar crazy ass nigga “Bishop”. If anything, he should have been nominated for a new type of Oscar, one where the actor really and truly becomes the character like five years after the movie came out.
2) You know how every chick with mental/emotional issues loves Sade? Well Tupac touched (no homo) every gangbanger, thug and thug wannabe with mental/ emotional issues. I’m sure most of those dudes are pretty eff’ed up in the head what with them losing homey after homey every other week in ‘da hood due to gunfire and gang warfare. Instead of going to see a therapist (which I can’t even imagine those dudes ever doing) ‘Pac became like their Sade. I even remember some dude posting on this site about how he sits in his truck, listens to Tupac and starts crying like a lil bitch. So yeah I get it, Tupac is like a thug’s Sade,, difference being that Sade dropped like 4 classic albums
That being said, the late Tupac Shakur is waaaaaaaay overrated.

9-25-2008
Tupac knew how to rap with his voice, he had syle and most of all spit from the heart. Wayne speaks from his wallet and all the drugs he’s on, half his shit barrelly makes any sense at all.
9-25-2008
Pac was the biggest nigga, he didn’t back down to anybody and would make a sick ass song just dissin on haters. For example: Hit Em Up. He talked shit to anyone and meant it, he made a fucking movement THUG LIFE, any other rappers make a movement and a code of conduct to live by? Bitches thas what i thought. I guess it really is just Pac against the world
9-29-2008
Haha, over-rated. A man who is respected by 90% of the inner industry of rap. A man who has been given rap tributes by top bands such as Linkin park. A man who people like 50 cent beg to be the next to create his official ‘next’ mix CD by Afeni records. I am a huge pac fan. I have countless songs by him. His voice is the most original voice in rap next to eminem. You don’t find rappers with his motive. Go to Youtube.com and type in “Malcolm Pac” and listen to his speech. A man at 20 years of age given a speech to adults in another country about raising their children and being role models. This man had a gift, god put him on the planet to be an icon. He also put him here to have enemies and be hated and despised. People are jealous. They’re jealous they can never be or have the respect Pac had. There wont be another rapper with his respect. Maybe a rock, pop or emo artist. But never a rapper unless Eminem dies a tragic death as 2pac did. But even if he did it wont be like the way Pac died. Pac seen his death. Pac had enemies. He rapped in a time when words could get you killed. Where people would shoot you down and get away with it. Where the police were corrupted and most of the PD’s were run by gangs. That was all Pacs life. And he has created a legacy, in which he lived, and in which he represented. And he was never a hypocrit. He rapped of his, his family’s and his friedns’ lives. He wrote and spoke only truth, when he was mad, he rapped and spit violent words, when he was happy, he rapped songs of wisdom and care. What rapper ever has pulled off making a song about his mother in the 90s, and still be labled the king of thug life? What man has people believing and praying he’s alive day by day because of his lyrics? What man made a song about a enemy who died, which was once his friend, saying god bless him to be released if he died after him? Nobody, but Pac. Pac was far superior then any artist alive now and probably ever. No legacy has lived as strong and has effected so many people in a possitive or negative way. And he will be remembered for years to come. Even now, over 12 years after his death, there is a new album planned with over 10 unreleased songs (Litterally, unreleased 100%) planned to be released in their original forms in early ’09. There is no artist to date that has ever accomplished such a legacy. I can go on forever… But to sum it up, respect goes longer ways then money. But it seems this magazine cares about money more then respect. So let them make their money, let them persuade people that such a great man growing up in such hard times, that has become a role model and hero to so many people… That he is “over rated”. Let them talk the talk, they’re obviously broke and possibly going bankrupt so need to make an article to attract millions.
11-2-2008
man that’s some lame shyt for whoeva wrote that. for that person to be any type of journalist they would have done the research and seen the truth about PAC. but its to much ignorance in this world (whoeva wrote this garbage) and we just have to look over it.
4-26-2009
The only way I can put it without demeaning his legacy is by saying that 2Pac was excellent at being mediocre. He was exceptionally average.
Organized Konfusion, Vakill, Oddity, Elzhi, Rakim, Rass Kass, Blueprint, Jean Grae, Illogic, Reks, Doap Nixon, Slug, Outerspace, Del the Funky Homosapien, Big Daddy Kane, Pharcyde, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, RZA, Outsidaz, O.C., Onyx, Tech N9ne, MC Lyte, Left Eye, Leaders of the New School, A Tribe Called Quest, Royce Da 5’9”, Big Pun, Eazy E, Crooked I…and many, many more were/are as good if not better than him and yet ‘Pac still gets rated as the ‘best’. That’s just plain disrespectful. Just listen to the 3 Organized Konfusion albums and tell me that Monch and Poetry aren’t better than Shakur…
Don’t get me wrong, 2Pac has great qualities like being able to make the listener feel his emotions, but he wasn’t a great lyricist. He had a unique flow and he was shot a few times. That doesn’t make you a legend.
4-26-2009
…and ‘Pac was commercial and represented many negative societal ills in his songs.
8-22-2009
heyy you think pac is overrated cause hes dead..mann if you say this you are garbage..just listen to his songs..you dont need to think hes dead..just listen his songs..the songs are reason that he is the best everr..
9-8-2009
Pac waz a legend no doubt about it, but Biggie waz a betta rappa, shyt mozt of u niccaz don’t even lizten 2 da albumz, ya juzt agree wit wut ya hearin from ya misguided friendz, I mean da nicca could spit, but every otha track he talkin bout “enemiiiez” or “thug niggaz & drug dealaz” c’mon B.I.G. waz a story-teller he uzed 2 make u feel like u waz involved in da scenario he waz spittin about..

9-29-2009
I mean i gotta agree with the fact that 2pac is the greatest, i mean for someone to write n article nd say he could not decipher a song as simple and potent as brenda’s gotta baby, he needs to go back to elementary school.
why do i say 2pac was the best is the guy was on point with potent content he remained true to his style and flavor while at the same time giving people what they wanted to hear.
i was a kid during the days of pac but i could hear what he wanted to say…
as to who is the best?? thing is we have had gud rappers the likes of pun (the boy had a remarkable flow) the thing that separates 2pac, biggie and the rest of this gud rappers is timing, niggaz where on point. i mean i gotta hand it to these guyz coz they the ones that put rap on the map.
2day a lot o niggaz can rap ask them where they learnt how 2, they will probably say pac, and rappers today have let rnb take crown over rap so i mean they gud but they skillz dont do the rap game no gud..
peace………

We know the influence of 2Pac as well as his necessity, to say he was not in the top five rappers when he was alive is good debate (though I disagree) but to say he is overrated just to create anonymity and sell pages. 2Pac’s influence is immeasurable not just to rap, but to several ways of life, what we pray is that we all take the good from it and filter out the negative. Note though, the negative always sells records, plus it’s the truth so it’s there and as an artist you can’t be criticized for that poetic license.
2-5-2010
Jut for the record, Pac an Biggie were different types of rappers in the same game and truly should never be compered. it’s like asking. who’s a better rapper, Snoop or Jay-Z, just for the record, Treach is in the top ten list at a minimum.
5-5-2010
whoever said tupac was overrated must be out their rabbit ass mind,pac is the greatest of all time dead or alive hands down.when pac rap he rap about things a street nigga like myself and millions of thug niggas could relate to that treal shit,nowadayz rappers be on that fairytale bullshit.okay biggie,jay-z and the rest of the icons or whatever feared him pushin their albums jus cause his was out.then you got the new comers tryin copy his style claiming their real knowing they studio gangters.like pac said he wasn’t claiming to be the hardest or badest,he claim to be tha realest which he was.hip-hop has gon soft since the death of the greatest rapper of all time,i guess its up to me now SMOOVE tha great the first mega star to sign with Afeni records.hollow at me Outlawz lets keep thug life poppin!PS for tha dude who made that stupid statement find another job nigga lol!picture me rollin…………
