I didn't realize Kanye West was releasing Rock 'n Roll albums.

Oh, that's MARTIN LOUIS THE KING, JR. My bad.

/didn't realize you could register a name in all caps.

I never considered Elvis 'King' of anything, except King of Ignoble Deaths

Kanye West has a 40 pound colon.

and peewee herman is the new spartacus

So, we can expect an OD on the crapper shortly?

/pleasepleasepleaseplease

AHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA.....

No.

Elvis was narcissistic at the end, and betrayed a Jed Clampett-like discomfort with his vast fortune. But to know him was to love him. When he went on tour, he interacted with his audience that would seem foreign to the current generation: he'd kiss babies, shake hands, give away his clothing to screaming fans, sometimes buy them things for them, meet with local politician in cities he went to, etc. He loved his fans, and his fans knew it. And his music had pathos; he was the first rock star to give his whole body, voice and soul on the stage. No one prior to the 50s had ever seen anyone do that with Southern/black/R&B music in mainstream media before. It was revolutionary at that time.

How does this compare in any way to Kanye West's performance or public behavior? Adam West is more of an entertainment king than Kanye West.

To be fair, there was only like 6 active and performing musicians at that time... the market has gone to shiat since then.

Elvis is actually a vampire, but he can't remember who he is.

He doesn't play rock. In his case, Pop, he should be trying to push a certain freak of nature aside.

/hee HEEEE

GEORGE BUSH DOES NOT CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE!

This all sounds like a suspicious lie.

DOES. NOT. APPROVE.

An idiot by any name is still an idiot, right?

I've got a great name for him.


/unlike his music and clothes, the link is hot.

Aside from the "vast fortune" and "making music" part, that pretty much describes Andrew WK.

Elvis was living in a nursing home in Texas with JFK.

That list of crazy musicians the other day. It was missing Kanye West.

Dear Kanye,

Please stop acting like a moron, and get back to rapping. You may not believe it yourself, but you are really, really good at it. We love you and care about you.

Regards,
Your Fans (Who are admittedly getting a little sick of your shiat.)

Hail to the king, baby.

but what kind of skill does it take to speak in rhythm?..........Not very much!!!

I thought T.I. was the king or P. Diddy with his new Cologne? how can all three be king?

Thank you. Put simply, the Sun Records crew? Yeah, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

I think bubba is going to go ho-tep on his dumb ass

Kanye is such a tool.

Have you seen a Kayne concert? There is nobody, NOBODY, who does more for the fans. I mean, Elvis may have sung songs but could he rap? It takes some skill to sing but what kind of skill does it take to speak in rhythm?

Singing takes more talent and skill than rapping.

redface: Dear Kanye Deuchebag,

Please stop keep acting like a moron, and get back to rapping. You may not believe it yourself, but you are really, really good the world's biggest c-face. at it. We love hate you and care about you. wish you would DIAF.

First of all I think the guy was being sarcastic, but rapping isn't all that easy. It's not just speaking in rhythm. You need allegory, cadence, wordplay, metaphors, and rhyme schemes. Good rockers can get away was saying simple things really nicely. Real MCs (not rappers but true to hip hop emcees) who aren't too commercial generally have to be witty and smart to get props. Some of the most complex lyrical music I ever heard was hip-hop. Rapping came from beat poetry and is essentially the most poetic genre when done right. Kanye can't rap well so he doesn't count. I'd consider Tupac a better writer than Elvis. I'd say Method Man's flow is better than Elvis' singing.

I would have really liked his last album if it wasn't for that AutoTune bullshiat. I mean, he does these brutally self-revelatory, autobiographical songs, and then makes himself sound like a damn robot singing them. It really undermined the point, I think.

Anyone can learn how to sing but rapping takes innate talent.

You should really see his SNL performance. Kayne certainly couldn't learn to sing.

People think Kayne is good because he distracts from his awful music with impressive light displays.

Like being born knowing how to get that really good tone when you spread your naked butt cheeks against wet tile and then let one rip?

You are sooooooooooo right. Rhyming is hard shait.

Since when is it cool to hate on Elvis? I always thought the King was immune to such criticism.

Rapping and singing are different so comparing the two is kinda dumb.

"Elvis is Everywhere"

I've got a new name for him..."ego-biatch"

/MLK is rolling in his grave

Kanye! How's yer mom doing?

Ok, start your classes tomorrow and become the next Pavarotti.

Asswipe...

(If rapping takes SOOOOOOOOOO much talent why do I see countless clowns doing it?)

If Elvis was dead he'd be rolling over in his grave right now.

You can sprinkle sugar on a turd, but it's still a turd.

Soulja Boy discredits the entire genre.

devilskware: Soulja Boy discredits the entire genre world of music.

FTFY.

If Soulja Boy even qualifies as music, then so does Crazy Frog. There comes a time when a line must be drawn between what is art and what is simply a product.

Legend in his own feeble mind.

Dear Kanye, you suck. You will always suck.

wentz n kanye need to have a live battle of douchebaggery with multiple ghey outfits changes, random outburt challenge, and other douchebag contests to see who is the real king.

Not amused by Kanye West's excessive douchebaggery.
