There is nothing wrong with innovation. I'll even excuse appropriation almost to the extreme of shameless theft if the result is fresh, vibrant music. It's the lack of inclusion, acknowldgement and compensation that has been the problem.

This is pretty funny. He starts off his tirade going on how Elvis "copied" black music(and everyone at the time knew he was a white man playing "that jungle musice" as many called it), but that was bad somehow. But in this paragraph, he excuses the outright lazy theft of musice and ideas because he see's it as "fresh", and aslong as their is recognition and compensation. What strikes me as funny is that the author is so full of hate and vile that he can not even begin to see the difference between forwarding a style of music and the direct copying of anothers work, adding a few beats, and calling it "your work".
