Just like how we invented rock and roll and dont credit. When will we no longer get credit for inventing hip hop?

And Eminem, Yelawolf, Machine Gun Kelly, and Vanilla Ice get the credit.

    its too much history in Hip Hop for it to be stolen
    You have ? like Jay, BIG, PAC, Outkast, and 50 who done sold so much in Hip Hop
    too many black greats for whites to take over
    Em is like the only credible white MC who has numbers to match
    when Elvis had his run who was his competition?

    it won't be "stolen" for awhile...the current crop of white rappers have too much respect for black culture anyway

    thats the other guy, who Elvis stole his gimmick from.

    Yep. Fats Dominoe & Chubby Checker. Their talents their skills, made Elvis the most famous copycat in USA history.


    And of course...Both of their estates, are currently in poverty...but the man who robbrped them for their Ideas and intellectual character, has an Estate which rakes in about $70-million per year:


    It's The American Way!!

    no one knows if Elvis stole that
    regardless, some people make it, some dont

    No the history is too strong. I think Eminem is a top 3 rapper though, only 2pac and Jay-Z are ahead of him.
