It's a meaningless title anyways. The goat rocker is Bob Dylan anyways.

Dylan is more bluesy than rock. And of course the godfather of the blues was the late B. B. King...

Regarding Elvis. He's Eminem reincarnated in the 21st century... I don't recognise him as 'King' of anything

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 ?

Black people created:

Rock

Blues

Hip Hop

RnB

Techno

Soul

Reggae

Dancehall

Azonto

Dubstep

And dominate Pop

So no it's not fuck rock n roll. Go and tell a white kid that black people created punk or goth and see if he says "man fuck punk music y'all can have that"

He'll go off on your ass.

If you do your research, there's quite a few people that made so-called "Rock N Roll" prior to Elvis and even prior to Chuck Berry, Lil Richard, etc.But most of those guys are one hit wonders. IMO you can't call a one hit wonder the originator or "king" of anything.

Ray Charles was there from day one and had a nice, long lasting career with dozens, if not scores of albums. One album in particular I like was arranged by Quincy Jones and was released in 1961

And here's a few songs I like from that era

Dylan made folk music. Folk rock to be precised.

And I work with all white people, imagine that.

I'm not saying that people are going around saying that out in the open nowadays.

But that's his title and it has been for about 50 years now.

They don't even refer to him and the king of rock n roll anymore. Just simply "The King"

And ask anyone who's the king of pop and rock.

Guaranteed they'll say MJ and Elvis.

Well, MJ is the king. I've always heard white ppl hold The Beatles or even Lennon himself higher *shrugs*

 
I never called him that, my OGs always told me Chuck Berry and Little Richard were the kings of Rock and Roll.

Ray was everywhere, he was that motherfucker back in the day. Taught Quincy Jones the game.
 
Little Richard

Bo Diddly

Chuck Berry

Fats Domino

all better than Elvis, as they were there longer and had much more impact..

Elvis is myth and no legend. He just happened to be at the right place at the right time to blow up like he did.

Arguing wit white folks over semantics is short slghted and winless

U figure, that's the type of battles they wanna fight..black folks in general need to have broad views and fight meaningful battles

Bruh right now you are arguing about what black people should be arguing with white people about.

So I guess u do have time to argue with them about who created what
