Late US rapper Tupac Shakur has been voted the most overrated person in music by a music magazine.
The rapper, who has sold more records since his death in 1996 than he did during his illustrious career, topped a list which also included the Grammy Awards and Pink Floyd.
Despite admitting that Shakur possessed “insane rock star charisma”, Blender Magazine said he also "larded records with self-mythologising, mediocre filler."
Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas which remains unsolved. The rapper was inducted into the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame in 2002.
The Grammys, which placed at number seven on the list, were compared to “watching paint dry on Celine Dion's forehead”.
While the magazine said Pink Flloyd were responsible for "unbearable LSD slapstick" and "self-important bombast."
