I have to agree with the state of popular music sucking, and that the commercial hip hop is garbage...
However, Elvis was far from the man that invented rock music. Louis Jordan as mentioned had a hand in it, as did Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Elvis was the plagiarist that made it readily available to the whites.
It can be best summed up by a rapper named Eminem:
No I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
to do black music so selfishly
and used it to get myself wealthy
