Should Elvis Be Stripped Of His King Of Rock Title?

[Busta Carmichael]

If Drake can't be the best rapper with a ghostwriter. Then how tf is Elvis the king when he did cover songs?

 

[dontdiedontkillanyon]

The guy never wrote any of his songs, and he was doing exactly what black people were doing before him but with all the acclaim and all the plaudits. He's the original culture vulture, the archetype charlatan, the greatest fraud of popular music.

The king of black music y'all

Even Elvis didn't take the credit white folks tried to give him and said multiple times what black blues artists he got his whole style from

I'm not sure it's an official title. Isn't it just an expression that his fans use? Or is there a trophy or certificate involved? I don't know much about him.

Elvis has some cool songs but I wouldn't label him the king, I find it crazy how parents was going crazy when Elvis came on the scene saying he was bad for the kids with all that hip shaking, fast forward to 2017 and our singers dress and dance like strippers and nobody gives a shit.

the real king of rock is Lil Richard

we innovate it and they take it

It's an official title. Probably the first one to receive such a title.

MJ has the king of pop title and no one can argue with that.

Elvis being racist ain't nothing new and he damn sure ain't no king of rock, give that title to someone else.

It is quite odd that the standard for pop is higher than rock....

Personally I feel the Isley Brothers had a bigger impact on rock than elvis.

Wattttttt u cant be motherfucking than elvis nigga!!

Jackie Wilson was the originator of everything elvis did

Shit like this gives credence to the white nationalist argument that, it's not the removal of perpetrators of racism as idols in American history. It's about wiping out white culture as a whole, thus a war against whites. Which I know a lot of ya niggaz got no problem wit.

But just in general, there's more important shit to do, and think about

 

[LEMZIMUS_RAMSEY]

James Hetfield from METALLICA is waayy more legendary than Elvis imo.

Nobody said burn down grace land...but what if Elvis being the king of rock an roll is a lie a bad kept lie but a lie..alot of white kids dont kno who elvis is

 

[SolemnSauce]

Man, Fuck Rock and Roll..we lay claim to R&B, Hiphop, and Pop..

King and Queen of POP both black..

Seem like people feel like they gotta take everything from white folks to the point they end up fighting over trivial shit, which they then inflate and use to recruit young yuppies who never been through shit..like it's a war on their race..

How u call ya self a Nazi wit ya color turned dup ?

Da new face of hatred
