Jay Z at Glasto...

[splodge s4]

Bit of a 'one tone tim' reminds me od a guy at school 20 years or so ago, used to talk all in one tone.

However if he was joined by Linkin Park then that would have been very different 'numb & encore' etc....

[okgo]

Thats the thing, mixed with linkin park it was actually quite ste imo. But because it mixed something with something we know and already liked it was more widley accepted. Even though the original songs are much better I think..

Still made him a few more $$ I am sure..

While I'm not especially a fan of that genre of music, i would say with all of the controversy surrounding him on the run up, especially with gallagher (cock end), his set was very good. He promoted the culture well i think, not too hardcore, and while some of the songs were a touch samey, I think the crowd received it well, and it didn't seem like he lost too many people to the Massive Attack stage, which surely shows his popularity despite what some people think.

I think 35% of PH'ers saying it was groundbreaking is a victory for Jay-Z considering the amount of narrow minded people that seem to be on this site.

What do you all think?

I for one remain singularly unimpressed.

What was the last hip-hop album you bought?

[dern]

I thought it was pretty good and I welcomed the diversity. The crowd clearly liked it too. I also really liked Lupe Fiasco's set... I bet most people sgging off Jay-Z didn't watch him. So if you don't like hip-hop then why even bother watching it and if you don't listen to hip-hop why even bother to try and form an opinion of Jay-Z's set... you have no context in which to discuss it. Pointless.

Nas - Illmatic
Steinski - What does it all mean?

Favourite hip hop album is Outkast's Stankonia I think.

Don't assume that people unimpressed with Jay-Z don't like hip hop. See my post above.

Jay-z's first album is arguably as classic as any other, including illmatic for me.
And he has been consistent over his 9-10 albums, whereas nas has been ste ever since in most peoples book bar a couple of tunes here or there.

People think they are safe by saying illmatic, you are to a degree, but not when its against someone who has been around as long and doing the same thing from the same city, who I might add has had much more success.

Why is this in the Music forum?

[Littlenewshound]

I think J Zee is nothing short of a genius. I'd love to see him doing karaoke down at my local, he has had enough practice at it, and would go down really well. He could bring along some of his buddies as well, they can fill in during his fag break.
As for Amy..........what can i say? I really like her albums, but her live performances are patchy. When she is performing live, close your eyes and ask yourself..... 'would i listen to this particular version again?'........she just needs a little more practise bless her.

So, yeah, it's that bad he may aswell just stop making it..

Barry Manilow's sold more than that. Millions of people read the Sun. Just because it's popular doesn't stop it being tuneless ste.
