dont turn it into a color issue, that's stupid, and i say that as a colored person
i do agree that there is a tendency in the media to do such things....but my comments on kanye personally stem from a love of a musical perspective...he's getting credit that a lot of others deserve
i think elvis is a ripper too, but there are other artist that got "inspired" from such blues musiicians as well and did a good job of it. even hip hop in its beginnings took samples from rock. and krs one said something insightful as the japanese are as much responsible for hip hop as if they hadn't produced those turntables (an essential element) well u know....so i got no problems about people getting inspired from other musicians as long as they give them props, i dont think elvis was one of those people that did...it would be stupid for me to say coltrane was a rip off of east indian music cause he explored those type or rhythms in his experiments of music...so that's all im saying
anyhow im arguing a slew of unrelated points, i'l shut up.
