Keith Richards has admitted that he is not a fan of hip-hop music.
The Rolling Stones guitarist declared that he cannot name a single rap artist who he enjoys because the whole genre leaves him "cold".
"Hip-hop leaves me cold. But there are some people out there who think it's the meaning of life," Richards told Rolling Stone.
"I don't wanna be yelled at; I wanna be sung to. I never really understood why someone would want to have some gangster from L.A. poking his fingers in your face. As I say, it don't grab me. I mean the rhythms are boring; they're all done on computers."
