Jay-Z does Wonderwall & 99 Problems – Glastonbury UK 2008
www.phoneshopuk.biz Jay-Z answered his critics, notably Oasis’s Noel Gallagher at Glastonbury. Striding on stage with a guitar slung over his shoulder, he led the crowd in a rendition of Oasis’s “Wonderwall”, smiling throughout, and with wife Beyonce Knowles in attendance, his set included songs such as “99 Problems”. In a radical departure from the indie rock and guitar bands commonly associated with Glastonbury, the festival recruited the New Yorker in a bid to reach out to a younger audience. Michael Eavis, who runs the festival on his dairy farm, admitted they had “stuck their necks out on this one.” Organisers staunchly defended the choice of Jay-Z, despite the slow ticket sales and sniping from Glastonbury veterans like Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher. In April, Gallagher slammed the booking of Jay-Z to headline to festival as “wrong”, declaring “I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.” www.phoneshopuk.biz

i do know about music i never said that there songs werent good cause they are im just not that fust but i just think it is unfair to call jay-z about a song that realistically was just meant as a joke oasis are quite good but i think because liam and noel gallagher are pricks it puts me off

no your wrong im not that much of a child to comment back with that pathetic comment fair enough you like oasis and liam and noel gallagher and me i like jay -z and im not really fust on oasis but its quite unfair to call jay-z a dickhead when he has never acted any way to think that
oasis may make memorable riffs and quite memorable songs infact my band plays some oasis songs but that does not defeat the fact that they are pricks

@rogeristhelord stupid ignorant douche. Rap = the mainstream without lyrics and theme. Jay-Z was(before he became a sell-out) a MC. MC’s are poets, they write stories. And if you think MC’ing is so damn easy, then do it. Its hardt to write 16 bars, and its hard to find the perfect beat/instrumental. Learn your music, Hip-Hop is growing and it won’t stop.

@rogeristhelord Population doesn’t come to it, think about it! The beatles have the most albums sold and 19 number 1 albums, they are british! Coldplay are a massive success they are british, U2 are british, do i need to go on?
It isnt fucking rocket science, dipshit
Jay-z is the most successful hip hop artist because he worked fucking hard and is still working hard and releasing original music when he is 40, dont like it? fuck off!

@mattbfc2009 He done it on purpose you idiot. Noel Dickface said you can’t have a rapper headlining at Glastonbury and Jay-Z was taking the piss out of him for it by playing his own song!

@rogeristhelord don’t be so judgemental, cmon. a single act/pop label doesn’t speak for the whole industry.

hes worth a billion dollars because americans have not taste in music
America is the nation that made miley cyrus one of the most succesful artists ever
america has hundreds of millions more people than th UK hence why american artitsts sell more
it aint fucking rocking science
