Jay-z at Glastonbury 2008

[horniArhino]

Oasis really aint all that, They might fink they are the beatles but they are not.....FACT.....

Glasto is about the event not a few headliners. I liked oasis but they have come and gone they aint nothing special.......TWAT...SsSsSsS

[Clarkydv]

who u calling a fag soft lad, cos of the weather yeah course it is cos it don't rain there every fuckin year

[Clarkydv]

I wouldnt pay for a glastonbury ticket if jay z was headlinging, the verve were the highlight for me. Oasis are the fuckin bollocks and fair play to noel for telling it like it is. The tickets didn't sell as quick because jay z is a fuckin knob head

[Aerodynamics123]

oasis are terrible

[fireking345]

Its been said its cause of the weather u fag

[Bigbaby071]

Jay-Z sings "Today is gonna be the day that I stick my middle finger back to you. By now you should have realised that Jigga is not a fool. I dont believe that anybody sings the way I do, but I gotchu now. And all around the crowd is singing and smiling."

Jay Z rules... haha

[xhoneymanx]

what songs that from?

[BespinBob]

Some of your comment are so weak, 'gruby cock' etc. Sad no life having small dick fucktards.

[BespinBob]

Shanme some of you are sad rasict prats hiding behind YouTube.

JZ was incredible. I was expecting alot less but it was one of the best live performances I've seen on the Pyramid. Like it or not, he's pure tallent.

HOVA!

[Shady642Isaac]

What a fuck

[mrconckey]

[screamingdiva]

really saaad that this was even questioned...thought we were tolerant, we lovers of music...guess not....BUT he gotcha didn't he...what's that saying...music bridges the gap or something..

some people have to bitch&moan about EVERYTHING

[xxcheekyxanniexx]

[ShardsOfAlex]

Pardon me?

He was amazing!

One of the best gigs I've ever seen.

[xxcheekyxanniexx]

[datdude1988]

Well WE think YOU are a douche.

Majority rules bitch.

[xxcheekyxanniexx]

aww shut the fuck up u gay lord!! im not douche u sad twat dont write bak!!!!!!! ur just a chav :)

[6ty]

that chap on the raio is a fuckin twat!

[devilish9879]

I WAS THERE to see Jay Zs performance, i wouldnt call myself a JayZ or hip hop fan but this was the best act of the festival. The place was rammed, he pulled a bigger crowd than any other headliner, the crowd were screaming his name before he'd even started.

Hands down he put on a good performance, the crowd LOVED him and it was one big middle finger to all those slated him.

[DAZZLERILLUSIO]

Er- synthweasel--- Didn't Oasis say they wished Damon Albarn of Blur would get Aids? What a short memory you have!

[DAZZLERILLUSIO]

Division of music for division's sake, who's okay to play at a music festival(!)and who's not - these things diminish us all.

Music is about expression, simple. Actually I think Jay Z liked Wonderwall as a piece of music, he knows a classic when he hears one. Anyone who thinks you can hold the attention of that many people without having a modicum of greatness is deluded. And in the real world, where front-room haters mean less than nothing - Jay-Z's legacy spoke for itself.

[RJnsta]

Listen people, he is a great performer that can perform different stlyle. I am amazed with people saying that Glasto is a Rock festival...That is fucking untrue. Glasto is a music and performance fest and Jay Z nailed it BIG TIME. He went there and performed his best and took the piss out the fucking Gallagers. Love Jay Z

[loydcrucial]

Jay-Z was a phenom at Glastonbury. I am not really that much into Hip Hop, more rock, indie, but he put on a great show and has a new fan in me.

[staticdisney]

jay z was good better than i thote.

[BespinBob]

Was amazing as predicted. The wonderwall cover was so fuckin funny I was nearly rolling on the floor. Absolute class night.

[delphina72]

I'm really glad Jay Z rocked Glastonbury, he was superb.

I was bouncing all the way!

[ThisSiteisCrap]

well id like to strat by saying i absolutly love oasis but i really expect nothing less from noel i mean come on we all knows hes a bit on the pompus side, but who could blame him. the way i see it is Jay-Z is talented and he desevres to preform as much as anyone else.

[oh8seven]

He was fucking superb. Amazing show.

[endofthetable]

Look Noel is entitled to his opinion like everyone else, its not his fault every listens to him because he's such a music legend- if some insignificant celebrity said the same it would be ignored. There are thousands who agree with Noel. James Blunt wouldn't play Download- is it wrong or rascist not to let him? No. For God's sake Noel has said nothing wrong at all, why all the fuss? Luckily Noel loves a bit of controversy.

[SMoldie]

Eavis has made his point, he realised glastonbury was turning into an old mans festival filled with 30 somethings reliving there youths, hence noel gallanger. ROCK GODS in middle age, ITS A JOY TO BEHOLD!!! lol jAY z ROCKED. Long live eavis and the Hippy spirit.:D

[bethsqeak]

HAHA he rocked it.. you idiots.

[PeteM91]

50 cent is a talentless narrow-minded fool, who believes that all music sucks in comparison to his. Jay z on the other hand is good for music as a whole, he tries to mix genres up to knock down barriers and has a love for ALL music aslong as its good. Look at what he did with linkin park, and whether you liked it or not, few rap stars would try that. Im not a jay z fan, my favourite band is metallica for god sake, but i think anyone who can see music the way he does, deserves a chance...

[DEPARTIN84]

yeah he owned it tonight

[aderiye]

Just watched him perform, the amount of people there and the love they showed him says it all. He belongs there as much as anyone else.

[christardo]

Jay Z will get bottled lol like 50 cent

[Synthweasel]

He might be coined off the stage! if theres any REAL rock fans there, they will not be happy! wait a minute! they probably will not turn up for Glasto! I know alot of people that go to other places now because they see Glasto as abit of a pop fest now

[SMoldie]

Glasto was never a rock festival, it was always far more than a meat head convention. Peace and love brother:D

[genesisofanemesis]

Jay-Z will be great mates

[hectorleon87]

i don't think is about color, for example, tv on the radio will fit perfectly in glastonbury

[bedhead1989]

omgg its nuffin 2 do with skin colour, wish every1 wud just get over all of this racist crap!!!!! i think jay-z will b good, i cant wait!!!

[BespinBob]

Excuse my spelling ^^

[BespinBob]

I just saw that N Dubz are playing on Friday. They suck so much it's unreal, if they're playing then I'm sure you can allcope with Jay-Z. I dont give two shits what people like Noel say (like he knows all about the festival, bollox). Glastonbury is a festival of perrorming arts, correct me if I'm wrong but Jaz-Z is a performing artist.

It will be an amazing show (as I'm sure you all know even though you moan).

Looking forward to all kinds of music (as it's always been!)

[nyboy101]

N-dubz sucks?

dude wtf piss off

cant wait to see jay z

[cheeckybutnice]

not really a fan of n dubs nut tht chick is hott!

as long as shes in the vids its all gd

[Yatoo77]

U people make me laught....hell yeah it's all about skin colour..i have an example...sizzla the reggae artist has his concerts cancelled because they say he's a homophob but eminem who is a known homophob gets invited to sing with elton john, a Gay icon...That just doesn't make any sense

[BespinBob]

Yatoo77

Eminem (who I'm not really a fan of) is not homophobic, he takes the piss out of people who are. See thats the problem with music noweredays, some people just don't understand it!

[Yatoo77]

Just check these eminem lyrics "New Kids on the Block, sucked a lot of dick

Boy/girl groups make me sick And I can't wait til' I catch all you faggots in public

I'ma love it.. (hahaha)

....

Plus I was put here to put fear in faggots who spray Faygo Root Beer

and call themselves "Clowns" cause they look queer Faggot2Dope and Silent Gay

"Slim Anus," you damn right, Slim Anus

I don't get fucked in mine like you two little flaming faggots!"

[chynaNW]

thats so true.

it is about color.

people need 2 wake up and stop trying to justify racist actions.

[BespinBob]

Glastonbury is a 'festival of performing arts'.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Jay-Z is a performing artist.

As people said, you dont have to watch it if you dont like it, goto the cider bus.

[WayOutWest20]

jay-z is gunna be the best artist at the gig....END OF!

[keyzjenz]

Oh for gods sake, Glastonbury is known as a DIVERSE festival. Jay Z is pure talent, he co-labs with so many people from Winehouse to Linkin so whats the problem? I like in the town & have been goin there since I was a nipper. Yeah it's changed but so do the times.

Most of you who seem to be a little critical will love the show 7 you know it. Either that or dont go, there's plenty of other stages.

[Ducksexbody]

Glastonbury isn't a Rock Festival. If you actually ever went instead of sitting at home watching it you would know. Its a ''Contemporary Arts'' festival and has had every type of music at it for years. They even have dance tents and shit. It isn't a rock festival and Jay-Z has every right to be there. You don't like him go watch something else.

[BespinBob]

LOL thumbs down from some prat. Sup? cant get in lol? fuck ya.

[arsu006]

last thing why were tickets sale slow

[arsu006]

what the hell Jayz playing at Glastonbury its like zeppelin playing at a crack house in broklen, why cant rap people stick to there own stuff if they are not getting sales

[cheeckybutnice]

2 answer your question ! y can't rap people stick to there own stuff? rock n roll is originaly black music( not turning this in2 a colour thing) thats y people originaly thought elvis was black

Also jay z when he does concerts plays with a live orchestra & a live band

Nerd / neptunes front man pharrel williams uses alot of guitar based music when producing so your point is very invalid

[ScootyJustin]

It isn't a matter of black and white. It's a matter of musical styles. I agree with arsu006, Glastonbury is a rock festival. I stand behind Noel Gallagher because he is correct. If Oasis tried to play some famous rap festival they'd fucking lose it.

[cheeckybutnice]

If oasis did try 2 play at a rap festival no1 would care as long as they raped.

Glastonbury is not a rock festival cos i swear people like the sizor sisters & other pop acts have performed there!

I kno The gallaghers are chavs with money but if they done there homework before comenting the would relise tht jay z does all types of music.

As long as there is a beat rappers can adapted

If it had been some1 lik kid rock who raps n does rock or enimen no1 would care.

[BespinBob]

Oh & Amy Winehouse is on before JZ, so lets hope she dont bring any mice out with her & go all weird, coz JZ & Amy did a good colab. ;)

[BespinBob]

ballysot89 said 'Glastonbury is wank full of middle class wankers' & you all gave him negative thumbs. The fact is he's right. You can not get a ticket to Glasto without a credit/debit card, this obviously makes it difficult for the so called 'lower class' or people that are not elidgale for credit etc.

The fact is that Glasto has been full of 'middle class' people for afew years now.

Personaly I liked it when the fence was crashed etc, was much more amusing but times change.

[BespinBob]

I live in Glasto (The town!). I've been workin at the fest since I was 13, I'm 34 now. In my opinion JZ will put on one hell of a show but it will be a big change for the festivals future line up if it goes well.

Remember that there's always a load of other stuff to see if you don't like JZ... I'm not a JZ fan but I think it's gonna be one hell of a show.

[Yatoo77]

Look...why y'all people so narrow minded? Black people created this music in the ghetto and in the ghetto, Most of the time people don't have money to buy guitars etc...But we got a mouth and a mic to express ourselves.

Me I like all kinds of music

from iron maiden to bob marley to dead prez ( not britney spears lol)

cauz music is part of the culture and it's better being multi-cultured..it's just different and if u don't like difference, then u must be a racist

[keyzjenz]

lol lets not bring race into the equation. It's not a race issue ;) It will be a good show, there's loads of other shite to do if you dont like it :)

[CapoStatuz]

rock hasn't mattered since the 80's

[danhs86]

yeah no, rap hasn't mattered since the late 90's, here i'll give you a rhyme: Rap is crap. rock will always matter

[synsacrum100]

maybe next year a country band will play

[CapoStatuz]

you stupid brits don't deserve to have an icon like jay-z to perform live at your crappy concert. i'm dissapointed he agreed to do so

[wonderwalliveforever]

oh dunt worri your totalli not being racist :\

*but OFCOURSE noel is being racist since he duznt like hip-hop..which actualli has nothing to do with race

wow the world is strange no?;)

[ballysot89]

Glastonbury is wank full of middle class wankers

[Kingsta2000]

Damn....Jay-Z, why would you want to perform at Glastonbury 2008 anyways? Its just a another dirty mud fest B.N.P festival. You can bet your ass there wouldn't be such controversy,plus a drop in ticket sales if Eminem was head-lining.Rock and Hip Hop, Either way it's all originally "black music".

[kchito2003]

Noel has talent

JZee doesn't.

Oasis and they're songs will be remebered in 50 years...Jazee won't!!

[analwsimos]

...man..rap music is sooo000ooo crapy for me

(i'm still wondering how people hear this stuff-it dosen't sound like real music to me anyway..just a bunch of sounds-no melody instead..)

..OK OK i know that has a lot of funs and i respect their opinion,their point of view&their taste etc..

but in

Glastonbury???

It's like the Strokes playing to some ghetto -lol

Noel G. is so right..

P.S. British type music is ''leading''..no JayZ or Eminems,or 2Pacs,3Pacs,4Pacs,30cents etc needed..

[missdminor]

I'll watch The Feeling.

[Niallygee]

This is a joke.

[ggletsgo]

Hov must consider that glastonbury is not the place for him

[yogibear3010]

damn right. them bastards dont deserve 2 see him rap

[GradeJrace]

I got glastonbury, it ROCKS!!!!!!

[bx38]

haa u probably dnt kno anything about hip hop, bet when u hear the word hip hop u think of 50 cent and all dat. jayz isnt even that good. hip hop used to b gd but the media raped it

[themadox]

50 cent and jay-z is hip hop. hip hop is dead, it died a long time ago. your right, it has been raped, by the media, but more importatnly by big music corporations in the america. its been completely commercialised, how many rappers do you see in films, although they cant act for shit, how many rappers do you see endorsing products? hip hops not a music genre anymore, it hasnt been for a decade, its now just a business, a commerical venture

[kingcurtainman]

yea your right it used to mean something, i still wouldnt call it good but at least you could call it music, as for not knowing anything about hip hop you cant not know about hip hop cause its all the radios ever fucking play anymore

[89felvun89]

haha i hope it dosent sound like that

[kingcurtainman]

hip hop is the shittest shit to ever be called music what the fuck is wrong with people for actually liking that shit, if u want glastonbry to sell tickets let oasis headline it

[themadox]

i agree. hip hop is fucking shit. its music for idiots. its meaningless. hip hop use to mean something when it first emerged but now its just exploitation, its prostitution. the music is shit because its self-indulgent, theres nothing artistic about hip hop about some guy who grew up on the "streets" and sold crack, decided to write rhymes about how he use to sell crack. its fucking base. if hip hop music appeals to you, then your an idiot. no questions asked.

[yogibear3010]

fuk you, fuk rock and fuk Glastonbury. i hope he dosnt go cause the people dont deserve 2 see him rap. Glastonburys the no.1 location for bag & piss heads. hahaha

[adrian121]

fuck u faggot we respect ur rock music have respect for ours...U FAG

[Stones007]

In all honestly... what is there to respect about rap/hip hop? Please explain.

[Synthweasel]

Was there some fine bitches wiggly their asses on stage? that would benefit for the front row :)

[Synthweasel]

That is a good point :) there was no respect when Big and 2pac got killed!! at least rock acts don't go wishing death on each other! well? they probably want to kill James Blunt but thats a one off maybe :)

[Synthweasel]

Id like British people to explain how hiphop connects with them :) people like RUN DMC was an art-form! they had meaningful messages in their day! but its all blurred now with BS! and bling! :)

[TinoStruggle081]

There's lots of rappers today who have got meaningful messages in their songs but mainstream media chooses to promote those that chat shit and i don't know why this is so. There's just no balance.

[Synthweasel]

The Media are assholes :) always want to show us what they want us to see :) I did see a London Rap/Hip Hops artist a year back! it was at a silly pop concert fest I worked at! but I could see the guy had alot to say! straight from the heart/honest which was cool! the audience were cold towards him? he was singing about life etc. none of that bling/violent stuff! he did look out of place though? as the pop acts all did crappy covers, he was the only one who brought his own tunes :)

[Dithulusutsamotho]

oasis headlined a few years ago; they were shyte mate!

i'm not a particular fan of hip hop myself, but some hip hop songs are quiet melodious ans have meaning, artistry and poetry about them. it's a shame the likes of 2Pac and biggie smalls are dead, i bet people would be excited to see those two gentlemen perform

[kingcurtainman]

haha fuck off ALL hip hop is shit and it always will be oasis wernt at their best in 2004 at glastonbury but they were still 400000 times better than any hiphop act could ever be.who the fuck wants to listen to- club ho ho club bitch club gangsta club."artistry and poetry" yea

[Synthweasel]

I agree, some raps people are good! but Jay Z is shite in my books! damn! I rather see Puff diddy or whatever his name is now? he would have suited it more

[goonbot3030]

no way not puff i'd rather have vanilla ice than puff...jay-z is a rapper that became a business man puff is a business man that tried to become a rapper

[Synthweasel]

Your right!! and its pissing me off how trendy rock indie twats are defending this shit!! little James Blunt fans now think their cool because they will go out and buy a Jay-Z album this week! watch his stuff get in the charts :) as for Glasto! I wont be surprised if X-factor shit gets in next!!

[Synthweasel]

Oh dear! the Trendy fake rock fans are sticking up for this shit!! kill the James Blunt fans!!!!
