I was the first son-of-a-gun out there. Me and Chuck Berry. And I'm very sick of the lie. You know, we're over that black-and-white crap, and that was all the reason Elvis got the appreciation that he did. I'm the dude that he copied, and I'm not even mentioned.
- Bo Diddley, 2005
If he copied me, more power to him. I'm not starving.
- Bo Diddley, c. 1956
The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I'm doing now, man, for more years than I know. They played it like that in the shanties in and in their juke joints and nobody paid it no mind 'til I goose it up. I got it from them.
-Elvis Presley, 1956
I hold no grudges. Elvis didn't steal any music from anyone. He just had his own interpretation of the music he'd grown up on. Same was true for me; the same's true of everyone. I think Elvis had integrity. I've heard blacks ask, "Why couldn't the first big rock star be black, since rock comes from black music?" The commonsense reason is the numbers. Blacks are a small minority. The white majority, whether in movies or music, want their heroes and heroines to look like them. That's understandable. Sure, there are exceptions, but few. We blacks want our own heroes and heroines too. Back then, we had Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte. Now we have Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington. Blacks might invent a new style, but chances are, only the white artist's adadptation of that style will result in mass-market success.
-B.B. King, 1996
Nas: You got people running TV and movies who think they know black people better than black people know black people. And that's cool. But it has nothing to do with what's black and what's real. Nobody's giving us a shot, so why sit there and beg for a shot? We're smarter than that. There are so many things we can do. Hollywood is never going to understand a black man's story. They don't want to. So why beg them? Just create it. Write it. Produce it. Direct it yourself. Like Spike Lee did with Malcolm X
Interviewer: Why don't they want to understand a black person's story?
Nas: They're just not interested. It's not white people's fault, it's just that people are arrogant, they have egos - and people in those positions don't think much of other ethnicities. They're in power. And their movies are great. They're not even wrong. They just don't know us.
"Elvis Presley ain't got no soul/Bo Diddley is rock and roll"
