I'm disappointed that it's about the Rangz of Powah instead.
I had to turn off that new Elvis movie a few minutes in the entire beginning is basically "Look at all the stuff Elvis stole from black people."
I've never seen a movie just berate you with a message in the opener like that.
Blacks like to claim they invented the blues, jazz, and rock and roll, and yet the only music they've produce for nearly half a century now is (c)rap.
Jazz has its basis in ragtime, which you can find in Beethoven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2pKgwKpkTU
Blues is a mix of folk from European heritage, West African heritage, and Native American heritage, played on middle eastern instruments.
Rock n roll is a logical conclusion of blues, through r&b.
The most early influences in r'n'r were black, but since about the late 60s were white.
