      *Tupac Shakur tops a tongue-in-cheek poll in the October issue of Blender magazine that asks voters to rank the most overrated artists, places, trends and other staples in music.      

       The late rapper, who was murdered in Las Vegas in 1996, beats the likes of 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.      

       Blender notes Tupac was a good rapper with "insane rock-star charisma," but he also "larded records with self-mythologizing, mediocre filler."      

     These aren't the first hate darts the magazine has thrown at Tupac. In its June issue, rapper Lil Wayne listed him among his top five rappers, but then admitted: "I can't front: I was never into Pac."
