Bono Praises Kanye

Rapper has "the whole equation"

In case you haven't noticed, Bono has a new album out and to promote it the singer has indulged himself in another round of gibberish.

Famed for his frequently nonsensical, pseudo-profound public statements the singer at least gives memorable interviews which news writers throughout the world leap across their desks to report.

In a new interview with MTV Bono revealed his respect for Kanye West. Strangely, the rapper once revealed that he changed his writing technique after seeing the group live.

Bono tried his hand at a semi-rapped tribute saying "respect for the text, seriously, because we're musical we come out of improvisations, and that's how we write songs."

"The melodies come out of those improvisations, and then eventually, I try to put into words what the music is telling me."

But wait, what's all this got to do with Kanye? Woah, there, for all will be revealed.

Bono added "I think with Kanye, his understanding of what music, about what fashion, about what politics is - they are all each other. Understanding the whole equation is understanding where your song sits in the world. Kanye knows where it sits."

The Irish singer then went on to praise Will I Am saying the Black Eyed Peas star was "a very important voice" and "someone to watch".
