Elvis wasn't a bad musician

Obvious CAC thread.

So yall can celebrate on Elvis on here who is a rumored racist and a pedophile, but not R Kelly? Majority of yall on this board are full of dog shyt.

He got the complexion for protection

Hendrix's writing has a lot to be desired sometimes, but he honest to god worked his way thru fame and did metal first

Damn shame he wasn't able to get Band of Gypsys off the ground

Machine Gun......

I remember I got into a legit argument cause this negro try to say Prince was better on the guitar than Jimi "Plays with Teef" Hendrix....

Alot of breh forgot about Jimi and it sucks, cause he was on another level.

i think elvis’s music was pretty bad. like even for the standards of white people ripping off black rock and roll he was not as good as musicians like buddy holly. and then of course guys like bo diddley just annihilate him

An Elvis celebration thread on a Hip Hop messageboard is a wild thing to see. Those pics with Ali saved this thread and that Ray Charles Bob Costas interview sums up Elvis’s relationship to black folks and our music in real time.

He’s not worthy to be highlighted in our culture.

This isn't a hip-hop message board. Never was.

I'm 26. Was never a fan of rock and roll or blues. I only knew Little Richard and Elvis growing up. Never listened to either of their songs

Don't blame me blame white supremacy

Where am I celebrating Elvis?

Click the spoiler and see what I said about R Kelly

And not for nothing, Elvis died in the 70s and R Kelly is alive and peed on a Black child

Where do I place Elvis above all the Black artists I've mentioned in this thread?

He had his whole life stolen by his manager and a prime example of wasted potential

His movie soundtracks and mid-70s stuff are trash, but the 50s and that brief period from 1968-69, he had a genuine love of music



He doesn't deserve the king of rock label if the bulk of his music is ballads

Let them be obtuse. I gave up after my last post in this thread. No need to spend time thinking and articulating when they don't care to do the same

Notable thread: "Come In And Remix The Drake DaDa Picture"

This relatively new board is quickly becoming one of the better spaces for hip-hop fans to interact. Much like the now-defunct SOHH, The Coli is a general board devoted to the discussion of rap, sports, and general culture from a hip-hop perspective. The discussion here tends to focus more on the heavyweight rappers of the day than the underground/upcoming MCs—the top five threads with the most replies on The Booth (the rap board) are about Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, and Lil Wayne—but generally everything is up for discussion (and clowning). The Coli has been credited with starting the infamous Drake "DaDa" meme, and posts generally have a playful, humorous tone.

Lastly, The Coli is an online forum that's widely respected as one of the first forums to successfully intertwine the worlds of hip-hop, sports, and everything in between. While The Coli has an affinity for East Coast/New York-style hip-hop, the breadth of topics discussed on the message board has grown more diverse over the years.

The amount of interaction with the work of indie artists is a bit more erratic compared to the previously mentioned forums, but The Coli is still solidified as a place where you should be posting your music, especially if you're a progressive boom-bap type of artist. Be sure to provide some background information for people to read, because you'll be treated as spam if you merely just post a SoundCloud link.

As a general rule of thumb, always remember to respond to any positive feedback you receive, and understand that these aren't your friends, but potential fans who won't hesitate to say how they really feel about your work.

Don't blame me blame white supremacy

I also knew B.B. King. But the rest of the vintage artists I knew were musicians like Stevie, Smokey and Marvin. Those were staples. R&B and Soul I had alot of knowledge of growing up

Rock and roll not so much. Most famous "rockers" I knew was Elvis, KISS, and Nirvana. Never heard their music. But I always heard their names. This is the problem

 

[Fill Collins]

Compare him in the 50s to him all coked out in the 70s

Machine Gun......

I remember I got into a legit argument cause this negro try to say Prince was better on the guitar than Jimi "Plays with Teef" Hendrix....

Alot of breh forgot about Jimi and it sucks, cause he was on another level.

It's like people skip over the 60s period

The 5th Dimension, the Temptations, Howlin' Wolf doing electric blues, Chubby Checker getting into psychedelia; Jimi set the template for that

Funny thing about Kiss, Gene Simmons, the band's lead member is a MAGAt piece of shyt, but he went out his way to eulogize Chuck Berry and called out how the industry would have cacs steal Black music, it was blatant and Elvis was someone who unintentionally went the opposite direction

I agree with Buddy Holly and also add Jerry Lee Lewis.

Exactly. Which is why the reactions from some of the posters in this thread make no sense
