Keith Richards doesn’t care much for that hippity-hop nonsense
Noted Sgt. Pepper’s hater Keith Richards is at it again. In an interview with, weirdly enough, Rolling Stone, the Rolling Stone said he’s always “thought [Metallica and Black Sabbath] were great jokes,” and that rap sucks because it’s “so many words, so little said.” Still, he doesn’t deny hip-hop’s success, backhandedly noting that “what rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there. All they need is a drunk beat and somebody yelling over it and they’re happy. There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another.”
