Should Elvis Be Stripped Of His King Of Rock Title?

[Plutarch]

I don't think it really matters much. And I'm not sure how one strips an unofficial and subjective title.

What would be more productive is education, education on how black folks were instrumental in the formation of rock, though it appears that rock was the child of rhythm and blues (blacks) and country and western (whites).

Obviously, we shouldn't stop at rock. Even jazz needs some much needed education. We could start with Paul "The King of Jazz" Whiteman and Benny "The King of Swing" Goodman. The former even starred in a movie called The King of Jazz.

My rant continues: Imo, Ali (or Louis) was the greatest heavyweight, but he wasn't "The Greatest." People need to be educated on Sugar Ray Robinson, the greatest boxer of all-time. He was Ali's idol, and even Ali called him the greatest. But people will think of Sugar Shane Mosley or even Sugar Ray Leonard before they ever think of the boxing goat.

How would one go about stripping Elvis of his title? I think his fans call him The King, not the King of Rock. I googled "The King of Rock" and the first 5 or 6 entries were all Run DMC. Elvis was way down the page.

What do you think he's King of? Smh

U said yourself u don't know anything about him.

Go to his wiki and read what it says at the top.

That dude did a google and failed miserably smh.

I'm not a fan of Elvis.

Ain't nothing worse than people trying to give their opinions on topics they don't know shit about.

Like Preach2teach admitting that he does not anything about earth or Pythagoras but wants to give his opinion on why it's flat

 

[babelipsss]

I don't think he is the official King of Rock. I don't think anyone is officially the King of Rock. So there is nothing to strip away. Thread closed.

This how you do it.

Singing dancing sweating your hair out.

All while smoking a cigarette

Jackie killed that shit!!!

Unlike others Elvis at least cited & credited all of his black influences in interviews and shit. The only person that title belongs to though is Chuck Berry.

he never was the king of rock in my book. you shouldn't even utter his name in the same sentence as little richard.

lets not even get started on how he was a molester and constantly slept with 14 and 15 year old girls

white people's heads spin when you point out his mediocrity, don't insult their great white king lol

Chuck Berry was a molester too and I believe thats the king. They were all sick human beings in the 50s

Should he be stripped of the title? For true accuracy, sure. But the ones who gave him that title in the first place don't give a fuck about historical/artistic accuracy.

Plus it's an unofficial title(unless I'm mistaken), so its only the truth to whoever wants it to be the truth. If you don't feel he's the king(and personally, I don't), then that man ain't The King. Actually stripping him of the title on a public, general consensus level would require rewiring the minds of millions of older white folks.
