Bob Dylan Explains Why He's A Fan Of Eminem & Wu-Tang Clan

by Benny Franklin

Bob Dylan is a fan of hip-hop...well, two acts specifically. 

The legendary singer-songwriter recently sat down with the Wall Street Journal to discuss his music career, and his opinion on "newer" artists. 

Dylan says he likes The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas, Oasis, and has seen Metallica twice in his lifetime. 

He goes on to say he's a fan of Jack White and Alex Turner [of Arctic Monkeys], Royal Blood, Celeste, Rag and Bone Man, Wu-Tang, Eminem, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen.

The reasoning behind being a fan of Eminem and Wu-Tang Clan?

Dylan says he's a fan of "Anybody with a feeling for words and language, anybody whose vision parallels mine."

Big praise for Shady and RZA, Ghostface and company.
