Elvis was a hero to most

[Piff Perkins]

Chuck D admitted he was wrong about Elvis, and someone posted the quote earlier in this thread.

I agree with his revised comments which are aimed at US music culture, which always crowns white artists over the black originators. Unless the black artist is so unfukk-withable that they can't find a white alternative, ie Michael Jackson.

You realize that Chuck has since backtracked on that line?

He acknowledged that he was wrong about him being racist, and was more so aiming his comments as the media that crowed him king and tried to ignore him saying out of his own mouth that he was doing black music?

i came in here to post this as well

chuck was comin' so hard (pause) with those lines

those particular lines of frustration came from black artists and entertainers not gettin' their just due, when we have been the architects and creators of so many great things in history yet often times our contributions have gone without full acknowledgment and proper credit a lot of times. but as @SunZoo and @Piff Perkins summed up, chuck has since taken time out to clear up some things that he said

while we on the topic of elvis though, his gospel music was great










not a gospel song but "suspicious minds" is 1 of his best songs

Chuck D da gawd and most of these c00n rappers should have had him as a father figure when they were growing up. That goes for both young and old rappers alike,
