Should there be hip-hop at Glastonbury ?

[Mark V8]

I say no.
So did Noel Gallagher, I think, maybe, but the difference is, I'd stand by my opinion.
What a total baby.....

He doesn't say that his opinion has changed. He seems to be saying that his comments weren't a personal attack on Jay z himself (as was perhaps reported in crap newspapers)

Tadaaaa!!

[10 Pence Short]

no.

"I wasn't saying I was better than Jay-Z as a person or rock was greater than hip-hop as a thing or whatever it is.

He can't help it can he. I'm suprised he hasn't changed his name to Noel Lennon.

I've never quite understood this thing with hip-hop @ Glastonbury. After all Glastonbury has always been a Indie/Rock event, a little clueless on when it became a "diverse mix of genre's" ?

As long as I can remember (first went 1997) its been a mix of musical styles as a festival, this nonsense about JayZ this year is nothing but a bunch of arse.

Hip-Hop has been at Glasto for many years before this one, yet when a multi-platinum selling artist gets the top spot on the Saturday night it somehow means that Gallagher can comment about its inappropriateness.

Yep..total mystery to me what the fuss was about.

Had it been some obscure artist like Immortal Technique nothing would have been said.

One of the beauties of Glasto is its open door policy on who plays and one of its central tenets, to my mind, has always been the acceptance of the diverse range that's on show.

fking hell, of all the festivals that exist, it's not as though there is nothing else to do or other people to see...
