Jay-Z =Wrong?
Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute > Celebrity Feuds > Jay-Z
Oh, shiz. You don't wanna fuck with Jigga man!
Noel Gallagher told BBC News that Jay-Z is just plain wrong for the famous British festival Glastonbury.
"If it ain't broke don't fix it," said the Oasis twat. "If you start to break it then people aren't going to go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go 'Kylie Minogue?' I don't know about it. But I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong."
Noel is certain that Jay's inclusion on the bill explains the festival's mediocre ticket sales this year. There were 100,000 tickets sold for Glastonbury on the first day, but in past years all tickets had sold out in a matter of hours.
Is Jay to blame?
Did Gallagher consider that maybe the other bookings weren't strong or that music fans are experiencing festival fatigue?
There seems to be a festival scheduled every other weekend somewhere in the U.K. during the summer season!
Don't blame Hov!

Was abar closed, Noel should open his own shut up and drnk something he does best
hahahahahahahahahahahah
First?
first?
monkey lookin mother fucker

Noel Gallagher is undoubtedly a monobrowed dickhead hasbeen, but he's not entirely wrong about Jay-Z. Apart from a couple of big hits, Jay-Z has never been really huge in the UK and hip-hop is kind of over, anyway. Mind you, so is Glastonbury.
uh douchebag he's right…why have a hip-hop act at a guitar festival? i mean sure the entire blame isn't jay-z's but still, he shouldn't be there. i certainly didn't buy a ticket
WHERE IS BRITNEY?????????????????????

Noel has got it right.
below 20. really.
suck me! first
He is cute. He is now dating some hot girls he met through "million airefri ends com". Is he looking for a serious relationship or just for fun?
AND HOW MANY CONCERTS HAVE OASIS SOLD OUT RECENTLY?? AND COMPARE THAT TO JAY WAIT A MINUTE HOW MUCH MONEY DOES OASIS HAVE? NOW TAKE A LOOK AT JAYS LAST YEARS EARNING PROBABLY MORE MONEY THAN OASIS HAS SEEN THEIR WHOLE LIVES…HATERS WILL KEEP HATEIN KEEP KILLIN EM JAY!
Don't mess with Noel is more like it - Oasis are amazing and they know what they're talking about. There needs to be more bands like them instead of rap anyways!
Perez, normally I love you but how dare you call Noel Gallagher a twat. He's a genius, and so is his brother, Liam. He's 100% right on Glastonbury.
baby
I totally agree with Noel actually, Jay-Z will not appeal to Glasto's market at all. It's put me off going.
Damn right the UK is all about festivals all throughout the summer- best fun ever! Muse play particularly well at them. I think they hold the record for playing the most actually.
I want to go to the Leeds/ reading one this year because Rage Against the machine are reforming!
Maybe you USA citizens need to realize that hip hop is over, caput, finito in Europe, we're not taking that craptastic music no more. Its the end of a genre's popularity peak that lasted way too long than it should have … USA is just a bit slower to react to mainstream musical changes, although HIP HOP sales have been already declining over there for a while.
Check out how long his finger is!
err, as much as i hate the oasis blokes, jay z is indeed wrong for glasto: it's all about indie-in the mud-rock, no one expects to see bling and hear hip hop. for brit rock fans it's as though britney spears was headlining (ok maybe i'm taking it a bit far…)
BLAME Gallagher!!! He is such a twat.
The initial ticket sales were probably mediocre this year, as it always rains when the festival is on.
If Jay-Z wasn't there, i'd probably say that the initial ticket sales would be far fewer than 100,000.
shuttit perez. oasis are class.

Who cares about stupid Jay-Z? I'm TWENTY-FIFTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it when Pervez starts making comment on stuff he doesn't know. Glastonbury is like Donnington and Knebworth. They have all got great history and attract certain acts. Noel=right, Jay-Z=wrong
no one likes oasis. this isn't 1994. shut the hell up, drunkass! H TO THE IZZO, V TO THE IZZAY!
oh well. too bad for jay-z, but i really don't think he's in desperate need of the extra cash anyways… nothing wrong with trying to keep the atmosphere of the festival.
just blame jigga's (uh yeah - can we use names that make sense, btw?)ugly lady lips and overall fugliness.
Oasis 'twat'? oh dear Perez your stupidity is really shining through.
Re: LindseyB – Well said!
NOEL GALLAGHER ROCKS MY FUCKING WORLD AND HE CAN SAY ANY DAMN SHIT HE WANTS!!!! HE IS THE GOD OF MUSIC!!!!!!!!
its true, people go to g to see the best rock/indie bands….i love jay z but he just not glastonbury, sorry
Re: Tiago – where do you live, in some redneck English countryside? here in the ATL, hip hop is alive and well, and no one listens to crappy 90s "alternative" rock bands. PEACE UP, A-TOWN DOWN, BEEOTCH!
Uhm..Noel is right here.
Don't force all the american shit music on a festival that has some pride.
Who cares what millions Jay-Z makes? Miley Cyrus makes millions as well. Enough said.
Noel is a twat, but there isnt a "festival fatigue", Reading & Leeds sold out within 24 hours!!
Gallagher can lick his mom's cunt. Fuck him!
Sorry have to agree with Noel, The last time a hip hop or rap artist played Glastonberry they got pelted with bottles of shit and piss cough *50 cent* cough and who can forget MCR bottling at the download festival a few years back. Fucking Americans keep your shit music to yourselves. The nation of bullshit and excess.
Re: enlightened white girl – Okaaay… You must be American. That's why you know NOTHING!
NOEL IS RIGHT, ALL THE RAP CRAP IS SHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OASIS ROCK- JAY Z SUCKS - GET OVER YOURSELF PEREZ - NOEL IS A LEGEND………
oh those blacks!
theres always a festival every weekend of the british summer. its called festival season.
festival fatigue my arse.
Jay Z is wrong..maybe not for the show but to be headlining??? its like saying Oasis should headline at Download…its just not right….
Perez, you only show you're ignorance by calling people like Noel Gallagher "twats". He's done more for the entertainment industry than you could ever dream of, and a lot of people have gotten very rich off his success, not to mention inspired a lot of the young British bands out there. Can you say the same, or in any similar degree? Are you so insecure in your own existence that you have to tear everybody else down?
lets look what a next nigga to blame, fuckin racist bastards. Jay-z tickets have been selling out everywhere including europe so why blame him for the low tickets sales. do your research dummy
i get what noel is saying am goin to glastonbury and am gonna be staying well away from jay-z hes just not that big in england i love oasis and i get them more then jay-z. i wud deffo go 2 see them if they were playing only about 6 bands have also been annouced so far can u please do ur reserch befor you start glasto bashing perez
I AGREE with NOEL GALLAGHER. He is a man of wisdom.
Glasto has a reputation to uphold…I don't know what they are doing, but it isn't working out.
They should have gotten OASIS to headline. Problem solved.
Gallagher's right. That's like going to the Warped Tour to see Fergie. It just doesn't fit.
come on, noel is always right. that's it.
glasto is all about guitars and real music, not just those awul bling blings (or how you hip-hoppers call diamonds), bad words, naked ladies and whatever.
you know, glasto is for cool people. raind, mud and cool people.
NOEL SPEAKS THE TRUTH. I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH JAY Z EARNS OR HOW MUCH HE SELLS IN THE STATES, HE DOESN'T BELONG AS GLASTONBURY.
NOEL GALLAGHER IS HOT AND A FUCKING GENIUS
I STAND BY HIM
Glastonbury isn't just about the headline acts, it's a vast festival with a multitude of experiences - and the most interesting things aren't seen on the main stages. I reckon the main reason for the lack of sales is more to do with the fact people are just fed up with trudging around in the mud. If I didn't have to work there I'd give it a miss cause it's exhausting and miserable! Pray for sunshine!
did anyone notice how long jay's finger is hmmmmm…………………………………lol go beyonce!!
Re: lily – I have to agree, Lily. Brits have been coming out with much better music for the past fifteen years. (Before then, we got Nirvana - beat that!)
so much bullshit! why do hip-hop artists feel the need to inject their crap into every living part of music?? kylie minogue couldn't get a song played here in the states unless someone threw some rapper into the middle of it! it's absurd.
Noel is completely right,
most people who go to festivals are mainly people who like guitar music. be that metal, rock or indie. It aint the same with pop acts or hip hop.
At least festivals often put the dance acts in tents where that works,
50 cent came to a swedish festival last year or something (Hultsfred) and that was the worst year of selling tickets and think they lost money and the festivals reputation has gone downhill- so I think it is pretty obvious that who you book is important.
Glastonbury is THE festival in the UK, so it is quite worrying that it took so long to sell out,
if there is just one hip hop act I doubt hip hop fans are willing to spend all that money on a ticket and travel there to just see that one act,
festival fatigue . . shut up you know nothing!!!!! Maybe you couldnt handle all the drinking, partying etc. I have many friends that go to the Leeds festival and the V festival and they are a week after each other, luckily there is a summer bank holiday so you dont have to take too much time off work.
I live in sweden now and am going to 2 festivals this summer - if another wasnt on at the same time as the peace and love festival I'd be going to 3!!!!
I don't know why this white girl thinks she's "enlightened" but music these days SUCKS. Give me 1994 any day.
perez, this is a very biased piece of commentary for you…
glastonbury has always been an indie festival.
and although they havnt been that active in recent years, oasis still have an enormous following in the uk, which is perhaps hard to judge from across the pond.
meanwhile, jay-z has never been particularly popular here.
i have persoanlly heard many people who had registered for glastonbury tickets cite jay-z as the reason they chose not to actually buy any.
yes, there are a lot of festivals in the uk, but glastonbury has a reputation for being the oringinal and best, and if the tickets arent selling, then undoubtedly the lineup is partly responsible.
in previous year thousands have braved terrible weather and floods to watch the bands… and it seems jay-z doesnt inspire the same level of commitment.
although to be fair, the rest of the lineup isnt exactly stellar either.
Re: Nicole – its not raceist its just not the glasto goers scene

.THE FUCKER IS RIGHT…
DOES JAY-Z HAVE TO PUT HIS NAME ON EVERYTHING?
DOES RAP HAVE TO TAKE OVER EVERYTHING?
I LIKE RAP-(GOOD RAP) ALWAYS HAVE…
( NOT JAY-Z.{SOME TRACKS ARE GOOD, BUT IT WASN'T HIM} HE AND 50 ARE 2 OF THE MOST OVER RATED RAPPERS ON THE PLANET.)
BUT THIS GUY HAS A POINT, AND
I LIKE THE FACT THAT HE SAID IT OUTLOUD.

doofus, Noel is right! Why would a hip hop artist belong at this festival??? Just because you like him doesn't mean he belong there! That would be like Foxy Brown being asked to play at Ozzfest….
Re: enlightened ATLien white girl – OMG Have you ever been to England? Threre is no such thing as redneck countryside! The closest things to rednecks are the chavs, but they are usually found in the inner cities and are pretty much on the pulse with the music scene. There ends your lesson today. Hope you learnt something, you ignorant yank.
Don't hate on Oasis! I happen to know several people who are boycotting Glastonbury on account of the headliners.
Kick him out. hes not even good hip-hop.
Mega excited because this year im at Leeds Weekend & Download. My florida money has gone to a better cause. haahaha
Noel Gallager is right. There is a reason why the UK make the best music in the planet. Leave J-Z to the ghetto and GlastonbUry to the people that is into GOOD MUSIC
dont like noel but he is right. Its indie/rock not hip hop.
Yes! Keep it guitars only! Rap sucks!
