CD sales hit all-time low
Despite every major record label’s best efforts to keep the compact disc holy,... [more]
Despite tickets not selling out and public criticism from Noel Gallagher, Glastonbury Festival headliner Jay-Z proved the doubters wrong with a solid set of the rapper’s greatest hits.
Before the headliner took the stage, a video appeared featuring footage of the Oasis frontman declaring that hip-hop has no place at the festival. Jay-Z then popped on stage with guitar to play a cover of Wonderwall, before launching into single 99 Problems.
While introducing I Know, he said, “For those who didn’t get the memo, my name is Jay-Z and I’m pretty fucking awesome!” The rest of the set featured some of Jay’s most well known tracks including Dirt Off Your Shoulders, Izzo (H.O.V.A), Big Pimpin and Heart Of The City (Ain’t No Love). In addition, he performed remixes of Rhianna’s Umbrella, Amy Winehouse’s Rehab and Lil’ Wayne’s A Millie.
And here’s Jay-Z’s rendition of Wonderwall.

to M O DJ!!!! does jay-z know how to use a mic??? you dumb prick,,shows your sheer lack of music inteligence....jay pretty much buried mr galliger,,,,dont take my word for it ,,, read the 100's of reviews about his performance...
laszlo says...
If you can't play a guitar... probably a good idea not to strut around on stage with it. Like any halfway decent lyricist he understood the irony to be had from playing the song... but ultimately proved Noel right. Poor execution. Should have gone with a hip hop version instead of a lame cover. Most rappers can't sing to save their lives. Their skills lie elsewhere. They just have too much of an ego to admit it.

He wasn't trying to do a proper cover, he barely knew the words. It was a fuck you to noel. I still think rap is shit house, but it was a clever way to start the show.
