BONO HAILS 'RAPPER' COHEN
U2 frontman BONO has a tip for hip-hop fans - listen to sombre singer/songwriter LEONARD COHEN.
U2 (BONO (L) pictured) provide backup to veteran musician LEONARD COHEN (R) in a tiny club called 'The Slipper Room.' New York City, USA - 19.05.05
The Irish megastar insists the 71-year-old poet is "the original rapper", and believes his work is key to understanding the urban genre.
He tells MTV, "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."
