Tupac Shakur is still causing controversy after his death after editors on U.S magainze Blender called him “The Most Overrated Artist In Music.”

The legendary rapper , who was gunned down in 1996, is considered by many to be an icon of rap music, and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-selling hip-hop artist of all time for shifting more than 75 million albums worldwide.

Shakur has topped the music publication's tongue-in-cheek 'Most Overrated in Music' countdown, which features in their upcoming October issue. The editors admit Shakur had "insane rock-star charisma", but say he also "larded records with self-mythologizing, mediocre filler".

Other entrants in the list include the Grammy Awards at number seven, encores at number 12, and rockers Pink Floyd at 14.
