Just in light of millennials pulling down racist monuments and statues. They can't erase history, but they're doing their best to correct it somewhat by taking away trophies to those who didn't deserve it.
imo Elvis should've never been crowned in the first place.

If Drake can't be the best rapper with a ghostwriter. Then how tf is Elvis the king when he did cover songs?
-
No The Title Should Go To Someone ElseThe guy never wrote any of his songs, and he was doing exactly what black people were doing before him but with all the acclaim and all the plaudits. He's the original culture vulture, the archetype charlatan, the greatest fraud of popular music.

The king of black music y'all
-
Even Elvis didn't take the credit white folks tried to give him and said multiple times what black blues artists he got his whole style from

I'm not sure it's an official title. Isn't it just an expression that his fans use? Or is there a trophy or certificate involved? I don't know much about him.

Elvis has some cool songs but I wouldn't label him the king, I find it crazy how parents was going crazy when Elvis came on the scene saying he was bad for the kids with all that hip shaking, fast forward to 2017 and our singers dress and dance like strippers and nobody gives a ? .

It's an official title. Probably the first one to receive such a title.
MJ has the king of pop title and no one can argue with that. -

? like this gives credence to the white nationalist argument that, it's not the removal of perpetrators of racism as idols in American history. It's about wiping out white culture as a whole, thus a war against whites. Which I know a lot of ya ? got no problem wit.
But just in general, there's more important ? to do, and think about -
No The Title Should Go To Someone ElseJames Hetfield from METALLICA is waayy more legendary than Elvis imo.

Nobody said burn down grace land...but what if Elvis being the king of rock an roll is a lie a bad kept lie but a lie..alot of white kids dont kno who elvis is -
Man, ? Rock and Roll..we lay claim to R&B, Hiphop, and Pop..
King and Queen of POP both black..
Seem like people feel like they gotta take everything from white folks to the point they end up fighting over trivial ? , which they then inflate and use to recruit young yuppies who never been through ? ..like it's a war on their race..
How u call ya self a ? wit ya color turned dup ?
Da new face of hatred

You really really need a ? him option

It's a meaningless title anyways. The goat rocker is Bob Dylan anyways.

Dylan is more bluesy than rock. And of course the godfather of the blues was the late B. B. King...
Regarding Elvis. He's Eminem reincarnated in the 21st century... I don't recognise him as 'King' of anything -

Black people created:
Rock
Blues
Hip Hop
RnB
Techno
Soul
Reggae
Dancehall
Azonto
Dubstep
And dominate Pop
So no it's not ? rock n roll. Go and tell a white kid that black people created punk or goth and see if he says "man ? punk music y'all can have that"
He'll go off on your ass.

I never hear anybody call him this
