Living Legends - Answer from Chuck D - Other Music? video free download

Anthony Brown

Chuck D owes Elvis an apology. James Brown and Mohammad Ali both vouched for Elvis' character. White racist of the time put the lie about Elvis out because they did not want black kids and white kids dancing to the same music and possibly partying together. Jet magazine did an investigating and found out it was a lie and there was no evidence Elvis made that remark.

"Electric Mud" is one of Chucks most influential albums. It is worth listening to.

Why the hell does he really only like black musicians? Also, there also no way in hell that hip hop is all music mixed together.

blahdelablah

@johnbourbon He answered the question of what he enjoys, which is music in all its forms. Is he meant to throw in a mention of some token world music genre to appease you? Is that what you want? Grow up.

Well, that was maybe just lyrics, the meaning of lyrics is like feelings, not reality! Chuck D really don't hate elvis, believe it. He said on Elvis :- "My whole thing was the one-sidedness — like, Elvis' icon status in America made it like nobody else counted. ... My heroes came from someone else. My heroes came before him. My heroes were probably his heroes. As far as Elvis being 'The King,' I couldn't buy that."

Sure, it was from "Fight the Power" and it goes a little something like this, "Elvis was a hero to most But he never meant shit to me you see Straight up racist that sucker was Simple and plain Mother fuck him and John Wayne."

Elvis wasn't a racist.. He had called that he didn't invented rock n roll, it was all from Fats dominos(black artist). In 1969, he said fats dominos a real king of rock n roll behind reporters. He called little richard a "greatest" in 1969.. He wasn't a racist.

May i know the name of the song?

Thanks! I don't know you like Elvis! Thanks for respond!

msignor

Yes, Elvis emulated black musicians and bought his clothes on Beale Street in Memphis. I was surprised that Chuck D said he like Elvis since he called him a racist in one of PE's songs.

Elvis ?? So you were lying in your song? I guess you were just bringing the noise.

Elvis wasn't a racist man, the dude was the most respectful to blacks and black music. He acknowledged the influences. They racist claim is a myth that was concocted by a belief that Elvis made racist comments on a radio program, but it just wasn't true. He truly loved and respected black musicians

its funny man, hip hop got me into rock and roll and jazz and everything else. Now i don't even listen to hip hop, funny huh?

gonesavage

yeah, I thought he "didn't mean sh*t" to Chuck

Witek Bielski

You need to know the roots. I'm glad Chuck likes Howlin' Wolf. I remember "Godfathers and Sons" by Martin Scorsese where Chuck records some rap/blues. Thats the way to do!
