Jay-Z Quiets Biggest Critic, Oasis’ Gallagher By Ripping Up Glastonbury Music Fest

Posted by Juan

Sings Oasis hit ‘WONDERWALL’ mocking his detractor

Jay-Z

Remember this?

“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. I’m sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance.”

- Noel Gallagher, Oasis lead Singer

In true Jigga fashion, Jay Z had the perfect comeback for the british rocker who has repeatedly chastised Glastonbury Music Festival organizers for recruiting Jay-Z to headline the festival traditionally reserved for rock and alternative musicians. No he didn’t create a diss record instead he took the stage to the sound of 142,500 roaring fans with a guitar hung around his neck and mocked Gallagher by singing an off-key rendition of the British band Oasis’s 1995 international hit “Wonderwall” as the crowd sung along.

As you’ll hear and see in the video bellow although Hov’s “Wonder Wall” got the crowd pumped they lost their minds (and rightfully so) when Jay promptly segued into his Rick Rueben produced rock jam “99 Problems.” Not to Gallagher…looks like you were bugging.

“The world should be all about mixing culture,” Jay-Z said to Tim Westwood. “Hip-hop is music in its art form. It should be accepted and respected. It’s all the same thing, it’s just coming from a different perspective.”
