Blues is as African American as it gets, tell me Clapton and Stevie aren't the blues through and through..... Tell me Led Zepplin and The Stones are influenced by the Blues. Tell me Floyd and the Beatles weren't influenced? Jerry Lee Lewis either, fvck how about Elvis or Cash? What about Dylan? Sh!t if not for the Dead there's a whole list of songs from the 1800's we'd not be privy'd to for fvcks sake. All are blues based (slave music).
Music has color to racist a$$holes who are more the n word than any color is because of their ignorance.
Music having a color is like saying Religion has a color(and I'm far from a religious person). Neither has a color. Both are spiritual and should be embraced.
Music having color is about as racist as saying only black people eat fried chicken.

To me it yes it started off as music played and listened to by the African American community. White kids listened to it (IE members or The Beatles, Zep, Stones, Jerry Lee Lewis, Cream, Elvis, ect) and help carry the torch for everyone to enjoy.
Kinda like hockey. It originated in Canada and they gave it to the world.
"Time.com named it one of the 100 best films of the last 80 years.[3] Leslie Halliwell gave the film his highest rating, four stars, the only British film of 1964 to achieve that accolade.[4] It has a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 101 reviews.[34] It is also No.1 on Rotten Tomatoes' list of the Top Ten Certified Fresh Musicals[35] and No. 8 on the Best Reviewed Movies of All Time.[36]"
A Hard Day's Night was nominated for two Academy Awards: for Best Screenplay (Alun Owen), and Best Score (Adaptation) (George Martin).
If we're talking legacy and worldwide popularity, i don't think it's even close between the Beatles and eminem.
