Rap is for 'tone-deaf people', says Keith Richards

The Rolling Stones lead guitarist Keith Richards has shared his opining on rap music saying the genre is for "tone-deaf people".
The 71-year-old rocker, who recently criticised Beatles' iconic album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" also called heavy metal bands like Black Sabbath and Metallica "great jokes," reported Aceshowbiz.
"Rap - so many words, so little said. What rap did that was impressive was to show there are so many tone-deaf people out there.
"All they need is a drum 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," Richards said

He also shared his thought on rock and roll.
"It sounds like a dull thud to me. For most bands, getting the syncopation is beyond them. It's endless thudding away, with no bounce, no lift, no syncopation."
Richards was promoting promote his new solo album "Crosseyed Heart", which marks his first solo effort in 23 years.
