if you steal musical styles from black people and make millions from it while barely acknowledging them publicly, what is that? Racism is much more than name-calling or saying, 'i don't like black people". He has said some good things about black folks, but I judge a man by his words AND actions. The trailer looks good to the movie, but don't believe anything hollywood puts out in biopics. I've never seen a biopic that's accurate. Spike's Malcolm X is a great movie, but probably only 50% accurate at the most. The main thing he got the most accurate down to clothing, actions, seating arrangement and guns used wat the assassination in the film. But there is a lot of fasle shyt and missing things in that film to protect certain individuals. I'm sure they aren't gonna put in this Elvis film that he liked little girls.

He was the Eminem of the 1950s.

I'm actually surprised white people haven't completely stolen Hip-Hop like they did Rock & Roll.
They won't have to. dumb azz negroes are willingly supporting the bullshyt they promote. The white rappers they promote can actually rap, while they feed us black artists that can't even put a simple sentence together while speaking. On top of that, they've been trying to sell us that Eminem is the greatest or top 3 rapper all time. And every time someone like me brings it up, its a bootlicking, dumbazz, white whore loving nikka that's got to start talking about "hating".

He was like the Eminem of early rock n roll. Grew up in the hoods of Mississippi and later Memphis. Went to black churches and hung out at black blues clubs when he got older. Never shied away from the black influence in his music :yeshrug:

FACTS

1) elvis grew up along the dixie line as a poor southerner and spent most his youth among the pioneers

2) elvis willingly admitted in many interviews that colored people invented rock n roll as rnb and did it better

3) elvis never said the negroes can shine my shoes quote

4) even though Elvis constantly mentioned the coloreds when asked who his favorite artists were he would publically name whites who did pop

5) elvis was a nazi who had a huge collection of memorabilia

6) elvis was a pedophile who fcked tons of his teen girl groupies

7) when chuck D released fight the power 2020 last year he could have updated the elvis reference, he didnt

Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shyt to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was, simple and plain
Motherfukk him and John Wayne

this is because both elvis and wayne were nazis. plenty of whites will give the melanated props but will end up siding with they own/the power structure

they aint shyt

i got the best post in here

soak up the knowledge

wasn't a racist but he did benefit from a racist society so i guess u can say he and everyone else was complicit?

:manny:

Yeah thats my only real beef with Elvis. He may not have been an all out racist and may have refuted the King of Rock n Roll title, but he didn't have a problem reaping the benefits.

It must’ve been crazy to be a black artist back then. Eminem is one thing but there’s countless black superstars today. Back then, you had cacs literally buying black records for nothing and giving it to weaker white artist because you were born banned from radio. Then you have others like Elvis just straight copying styles of the people in his city, that he might’ve fukked with and putting it out for the masses.

I mean obviously you will catch a stray, on the one hand you are pushing culture you love, on the other you are showing no solidarity with the fact that the creators can’t get any shine.

I mean he might’ve been on his MJ shyt about not getting “political” but then British artists were riding the civil rights movement a million miles away and he was silent. So he deserves whatever criticism he gets
