Elvis became popular by watering down a style so that it had mass appeal. For you, that may be improvement, but that is because you are one of the people with bland musical tastes - the people to whom Elvis was being marketed. It is not your fault you cannot take the real shit - you have lead a sheltered life, and it is hard for you to conceive of anything outside the boundaries of that sheltered life.
The use of a digital sampler to create new music from pre-recorded music is not just a black thing. It is a technique that is used in both hip hop and modern dance music/electronica, and the many variations and hybrids of hip hop, electronica, turntablism, whatever. A lot of the most creative stuff going on in music these days involves the manipulation of already-recorded music and sounds, sometimes combined with live instruments, sometimes not.
