Paul McCartney thinks ‘Yesterday’ was possibly inspired by mother’s death
Paul McCartney suggests 'Yesterday' may have been inspired by the loss of his mother, adding depth to the iconic Beatles hit.
Beatles legend Paul McCartney says he loves rap music and considers the genre to be urban poetry.
The 75-year-old music legend says he was blown away when he saw Jay-Z and Kanye's West's join 2011 "Watch the Throne" tour and thinks people write off the genre too easily as a lot of "swearing and bravado", reported Rolling Stone.
"It's a funny thing. A lot of people look at rap and think 'Ah yeah, well it's just a lot of swearing and cussing, and bravado'. But seeing the show, it's a lot of poetry. I was impressed. I think seeing a whole show, you get a better idea of what it is they're on about. So I enjoyed the show.

"It's urban poetry, you know? When you see the show, you get a little bit of time to sit back and look at the songs and what they're talking about and what they mean."
