Bono: 'Sexy' Leonard Cohen Is 'Original Rapper'

Eh?....

Share

Following Prince Charles’ surprise admission he was a massive fan of Leonard Cohen, Bono has now claimed the “sexy” cult singer is the world’s “original rapper”.

The U2 frontman has claimed an understanding of Cohen – famed for his dry, miserablist delivery – is key to an appreciation of hip-hop’s roots.

He says in a recent TV interview, “He's the original rapper, you know, if you're interested in hip-hop.

"He's a sexy man who made sexy music, who made music asking questions about God and girls and everything."

No, we don’t get it either.
