Jay-Z v Oasis

Make no mistake Jay-Z is no ‘ignorant shit’

After the controversy surrounding his headlining slot at the Glastonbury Festival, he took to the stage last night and completely blew the crowd (and me) out of the water. First, he strolled on stage, guitar in check and sang Oasis’ 'Wonderwall' – this was a direct but subtle response to the negativity he’s received from Mr. Noel Gallagher. To be fair I feel a bit sorry for Noel as he’s obviously been used as a scapegoat and I wouldn’t be surprised if his quote was taken out of context.

Anyways...he played 'Wonderwall' then '99 Problems' which just sent the crowd mad, Beyonce was side of the stage singing along to every single word with such passion.


The defining moment for me was when he mashed up ‘Aint No Love (In the Heart of The City)’ and U2’s 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' – IT WAS PHENOMENAL. Jay-Z smashed it, if he really has 99 problems, headlining Glastonbury certainly wasn’t one.
