Review Of Jay-Z’z Glastonbury Performance
RealTalkNY Brought To You By Nigel D. — Just finished watching the Jay-z performance, well about an hour ago. Been looking forward to his performance the whole day and he killed it! There were just over 300,000 people in the field so I really couldn’t get any video but I managed to get the billi freestyle but the sound makes it not worth listening to. He came out with a guitar mocking oasis because of their comments about him performing. This was my second time going to Glastonbury and from all the performances there have been this has to be in the top 3 of all time. For a hip-hop artist to come out to a white dominated event and rock/indie dominated ...

Jay-Z singing Oasis' Wonderwall at Glastonbury
Oh No They Didn't! — Direct Link: Youtube I lol'd when I heard it, even though Jay cannot sing. All I need now is the montage that played before he went onstage. For those who don't get it, Noel once said: "If it ain't broke don't fix it ... If you start to break it then people aren't going to go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance ...

Jay-Z To Oasis: "Are Your Songs 'Appropriate' Glastonbury Material? Just Checking" [Videodrone]
Idolator: Music News, Reviews, And Gossip — After months of buildup, Jay-Z played his much-discussed headlining set at the Glastonbury Festival last night, and he opened it with a special dedication to Oasis' Noel Gallagher, who was quoted in the buildup to the festival as saying that Jay was an inappropriate addition to the Glasto bill because it was "built on a tradition of guitar music." Jay strolled out with a guitar, strumming and warbling along, last-call-on-a-long-night-style, to "Wonderwall" before breaking into "99 Problems." I think this is a way to tell Gallagher "your move," although I shudder to think what an Oasis cover of "Big Pimpin'" might sound ...

A few months back, Noel Gallagher claimed it was "wrong" to feature hip-hop at the fest. Jay-Z responded by defending the legitimacy of his art form. The Sun pointed out that Oasis are UK festival royalty and Jay-Z is a former New York drug dealer. Wha? Pre-show, Jay spoke to Radio 1 , saying, "If Noel Gallagher saw me perform ... he wouldn't say that." Then, the moment of truth. Jay strapped on a guitar and mockingly ...

Then — while drinking on-stage during her set — announced that she is “not opening for a cunt like Kanye,” prompting Kanye to get predictably bitchy on his blog . And Jay-Z’s answer to Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher bitching about how hip-hop has no place at a rock festival was an opening performance of “Wonderwall,” which is, of course, fucking awesome, and made even more so by the fact that neither Jay-Z nor the audience seems to know the words to anything but the chorus.

Winehouse’s Shocking Antics, Jay-Z’s Oasis Cover Highlight Glastonbury
Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily — Amy Winehouse was the star of this weekend’s Glastonbury festival, and it wasn’t because of anything she did on stage. After getting lowered down into the security pit between the crowd and the stage for a more intimate performance of “Mr. Jones” and “Rehab,” video of the songs show the singer punched a man in the front of the crowd before being swarmed by security guards. Following Winehouse’s set, it was revealed that the man actually groped Winehouse while she performed close to the crowd, resulting in Winehouse’s swift right hook. No charges will be pressed against the singer. Winehouse also lost a ...

None other than Jay-Z will replace the Beasties as the Friday night headliner. According to a press release, this is Hova's first time playing an American festival. Overseas, he has more than proven himself as a festival headliner. And hey ...

Jay-Z's last headlining date at a festival was at Glastonbury in London, where he became the first rap headliner in the history of the festival. The gig provoked Oasis to say something bitchy about it, and he responded by opening the show with a jokey rendition of "Wonderwall." This time, he was a little nicer, and possibly answered the demands of the people: after a large ...

You are leaving The Boardwalk, a combined rehearsal room and gig venue, where local bands play to small crowds alongside better known alternative acts from further afield – Sonic Youth, Husker Du and the like – while Fridays are given over to ex-Hacienda DJ Dave Haslam’s superb Yellow night, a no-rules mish-mash of soul, house and guitar bands. Maybe you’ll be up there later; you often drag the rest of the lads along too.
