Elvis Presley As Rapper?

Would Elvis Presley, born on this day in 1935, have been a world-class rapper? It's not hard to imagine him, in a different time, giving the genre a go. He wanted to incite a crowd, which rappers have the knack of doing. However, perhaps we're fortunate to have been spared Elvis as rapper. A roomful of rapping Elvis impersonators would be unbearable.

We'll settle for the King and his court singing Mystery Train.
