is Scaruffi right about Elvis?
>>128889019gotta love how italians and only italians make this big claims of anti-italian racism and say it as if it's a super serious thing lol>he stole my mamma mia italian songs it's a culturalle apropiationni it's anti-italian discriminationniwho cares fagalso>same old story of him stealing black people songs and white-washing them for a white audienceso tiresome, not even gonna bother arguing against this it's been said many times already
>>128889060Elvis was just plagerizing black people and doing covers of songs that black peple wrote up. This isn't controversial. I'm racist and even I admit this.
>Mad that a man with a Golden Singing voice never needed to a single song a day in his life. >Woman leeches her entire career the same way, its perfectly okay.>When Elvis does it>"He's a hack! He stole his songs! He's not even that good at the guitar!Keep seething incels
Who gives a fuck? Do you like Elvis? Do you enjoy his music? That's the only thing that's important. A critic's words only have as much meaning as you give them. Just listen to shit that you enjoy, and only read critiques for fun. Don't use them to actually form opinions. Be an individual.
>>128889836>>Woman leeches her entire career the same way, its perfectly okay.Bizarre strawmen, ruffi hands out 2/10s to wpop sluts all day long
>>128889019i feel like there had to have been some defining moment in scaruffi's youth where he got bullied or something like living elvis and then dropped him afterward. the guy was only slightly later than the generation that worshipped him.
>>128889683>plagerizingstopnocovers at the time was super fucking common no big artist was expected to do original songs all the time, most did covers, and that's what elvis presley did, not plagiarismalso keep in mind at the time segregation was still a big thing, if anything it was seen as a bit 'progressive' to popularize something 'black' to the 'whites'a huge chunk of people opposed elvis for singing 'negro music'also he was vocal about rock being black music amd always credited black people
>>128889683But his early rockabilly records had lots of country and bluegrass influences.Songs like Heartbreak Hotel and Let's Play the House sound really original, not just some random R&B copycat.
>>128889019I don't know. I don't care about pedophiles.
>>128890668He isn't a pedo. I tried to find a source to these rumors and couldn't find one.
>>128890851The source is literally the biography written by Priscilla herself. She was literally 14 and he was 24 in the military when they started dating. She was a "virgin" until they got married after she turned 18 but you wouldn't be wrong to be suspicious. Regardless its a bad look.I love Elvis and his musical career but I'm not even gonna bother when it comes to this topic. I conceive to whatever you have to say about him regarding this.
>>12889088514 is fine
>>128890924>14 is fine Guess the college girls aren't giving you any love huh?
>>128889019He's never right about anything.
>>128890885dating a 14 year old is likely abusive but being attracted to a sexually mature human does not make one a pedophilecalling everyone that grooms/dates/sexes teenagers a pedo dilutes the actual meaning of the word which is a fetish for prepubescent children
>>128890967Yeah, dude. Elvis was such a loser! brow he was rejected by several college girls at that time... He totally couldnt get plus 14 pussy. Grow up.
>>128890885I thought you were talking about Scaruffi.
>>128891367I'm talking about you retard. No shit Elvis could get whatever bitch he wanted. But he chose the kid that literally divorced him after 1 year of marriage, taking everything and the kid they conceived. Leaving him high dry and depressed af turning fat.
>>128891828Imagine if this was modern day>Priscilla would be getting praises from whores everywhere online for getting back at the "Grommer Old Rich Men Patriarchy">Elvis would be getting clowned on by everybody also>Public crashout before his fateful overdose that would happen much sooner
>>128889683you're right, white people should've never opened up their and hearts minds to black culture and stayed a segregated and homogenous society. based and 1488pilled
>>128890411Yes I read somewhere that Beatles was the first band that released a first record with original songs instead of an album with covers like it was the rule at the time
>>128891828Why Elvis can choose underage and anon no? are you jealous or something? he maybe is in love with a priscilda too just like elvis?
>>128891826Yes, I was.
>>128893372Sure, I'm jelous of the man who got divorced raped by some teeny bopper whore contributing to the downfall of his life & career.
>>128889019scaruffi is a complete ignorant in regard to pre 1963 music
>>128889019scaruffi is known for hating the beatles but those scores for elvis are even harsher
>>128889019He big upped Bill Black and Scotty Moore, that's all that matters.
>>128889019>is Scaruffi rightYes
>>128890411You sound like a muslim trying to defend Muhammad's child bride. There were a lot of thiefs and pedos across history, I'm not obligated to call them geniuses when they're not. Mediocre men worship mediocre idols.
>>128895747Nah this dude is the dude defending child brides>>128890924
>>128895801Anyone who says "plagiarism is okay because everyone did it back then" is oaky with child brides, lobotomies, name it. Cultural relativism is weak cope.
Elvis wasn't an "artist", just a mere performer, but one of the best ever.and many of his songs are great, even if they were written by others.>Elvis Presley, 3/10>Elvis, 2/10would he rate them the same if they were released by another singer/songwriter who penned the songs by himself? or the problem is that they were performed by a white guy?
>>128895891Most of his highest scores went to white guys, so it's probably the first one?
>>128889683>Elvis was just plagerizing black people and doing covers of songs that black peple wrote up. This isn't controversial. I'm racist and even I admit this.I am an anti-racist leftist and you are correct about this(Just for another diverse opinion)
>>128889060Shitalians really are spiritually black No wonder these reviewers were all faggots seething over masculine heavy metal
>>128889019He's right that Don't Be Cruel is his best song
>>128890038That's basically it for him and Christgau. They're dorks who feel threatened by any musician who isn't a dork like them, I assume it's related to high school baggage that they never overcame.Elvis was loved by a huge amount of his black contemporaries as well, you never see them say this tiresome race baiting crap about him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9SEpujPoLc
>>128896386Don't be Cruel is FAR from his best song. In fact majority of his radio hits aren't represented of how talented he really was. His best performances are live (ironic considering he couldn't act for shit despite trying for a decade) 1) Unchained Melody: https://youtu.be/REvY97tozgk?si=Bk8x6pOkDwLW01CBLiterally did this months before his death. Even when he was fat af and losing breath he was talented. 2)Sea Sea Rider https://youtu.be/Jzc0MhZXXzg?si=OYi64hJjXhSUCwMlFrom his Live from Hawaii special. Hands down his best live album/concert. 3)I've Got a Thing About You https://youtu.be/3tfLQYWDRhw?si=Vpdj-9C7VGhNeEzOAn underrated GEM of a song. Did he write it? Fuck no. But fuck does he sell it. 4)Gentle on My Mind https://youtu.be/MQmGqb6hgY0?si=E0P-sQzHI4zHLDBNYes this is Glen Campell's song. But Elvis mogs tf outta him. Every song Glen did, Elvis outdid. 5) Grass won't Pay No Mind https://youtu.be/RQ15JxMT70U?si=7AlM2elCUGa1G56BLast song I'm spamming to showcase this man, who never wrote a single bit of lyric in his entire life. Mogged every other talented musician with just his voice.
