I thought all the fuss about Jay-Z headlining at this years festival would have died down by now. Unfortunately a few player haters (sorry for the hip hop vernacular, but needs must and all that) are still having a moan about one of the most talented wordsmiths of his generation topping the bill at the UK's premier music festival. I could understand all the negative press if it were 50 Cent or someone equally talentless and moronic. But Jay-Z is a worthy choice.
Jay-Z is not the first rapper to perform at Glastonbury and he won't be the last, but as a fan of the genre I would have preferred seeing The Roots headline instead. Nevertheless, he'll still put on the great show and there are rumours of guest appearances from Beyonce and Coldplay's Chris Martin. Noel Gallagher from Oasis was quoted as saying "I'm not having hip hop at Glastonbury", in my opinion he should concern himself with the fact the organisers have asked James Blunt and Shakin' Stevens to perform on the main stage a few hours before Jay-Z...now that's the scandal!
