taking influence from other past genre is one of the most crucial components of what is evolving music
Dave Grohl is hip hop as f*** for this
Elvis is Hip Hop too
Nahhhhh
Elvis is Hip Hop too
Can yall stop comparing what elvis did and what dave did when it’s nothing alike
Dave Grohl is hip hop as f*** for this
Dave is truly a real one
Its not even like he just stole it too he flipped it into some whole other classic s***

This is the difference
All of the greats take from past greats, it’s whether or not you successfully add your own swag to it
Putting disco drums in a f***ing Nirvana song is insane. Elvis stealing whole songs from black singers isn’t the same at all
Yup that's the issue frfr. Not the influence but the fact that he ain't give black artists their flowers at the time. An issue that still continues today
I feel like Ive seen Dave Grohl praise black artist hes inspired by a lot
@Nessy is there a difference?
Dave: put old disco drum grooves on new grunge songs
Elvis: copied whatever was hot at the time on black radio that white audiences didn’t know about
Yea theres a difference

He even brings up the point that MJ should’ve paid out royalties
It’s a pretty wild read. Quincy went HAM. Wildly disrespectful, really.
Very interesting read. This was wild as f*** like you said.
There's a balance. He's talented but again it just shows how influential black musicians are. Caucasian Europeans are venerated as these amazing musicians/artists when it's really them using our chops (Foo Fighter), licks, runs, style (elvis), flow (Non-Action Bronson), overall our stories because 99.9% of their culture doesn't have rhythm.
They'll win awards over actual talents (Macklemore). I guarantee there's a higher percentage of nirvana listeners on this site than Gap or Cameo listeners.
And how do u explain black artists sampling non black artists? U cant seriously compare dave grohl to elvis or some s***
