I've read that Elvis is being deemed a Rock n Roll icon and a pioneer. What! All he did was take on an African American culture and he got popular. The perplexing thing is this, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and countless other black artists came before him. What the heck is this? Why would he be deemed as the pioneer, he didn't come before Chuck Berry or Little Richard. This brings me to my next question is he deemed as such (pioneer) because he is white. Eminem is also the same as Elvis, he is considered a Pioneer? There are better rappers than Em, but how come he gets more attention. At the same time some say he's an imitation of the real thing. N sync, 98 degrees and the Back Street Boys are all the same examples. Justin Timberlake is manufactured to sell, he has no vocal skills or range; Timberlake is trying to hard in my eyes. Why the attention?
