Bruce Springsteen may have more diverse musical tastes than you'd think. In a live Q&A with Apple exec Eddie Cue, the New Jersey rocker (and state hero) noted that he likes Green Day and U2 — and a couple of current rappers.

“I like Kendrick Lamar a lot. He’s intense. He’s a great rapper, very intense. I like Kanye West, I think Kanye West makes great records. I love his records. Those are just very, very creative, amazing records," said the 67-year-old to Cue (via Consequence of Sound). 

It sounds like he should teach fellow rock legend Keith Richards, who doesn't understand hip-hop, about the genre's virtues.
