The 75-year-old music legend says he was blown away when he saw Jay-Z and Kanye's West's join 2011 "Watch the Throne" tour and thinks people write off the genre too easily as a lot of "swearing and bravado", reported Rolling Stone.
"It's a funny thing. A lot of people look at rap and think 'Ah yeah, well it's just a lot of swearing and cussing, and bravado'. But seeing the show, it's a lot of poetry. I was impressed. I think seeing a whole show, you get a better idea of what it is they're on about. So I enjoyed the show.
