Jay-Z at Glastonbur... they say it's history



'Hip-hop doesn't have a place at Glastonbury....' said Noel Gallagher....the words projected on a screen for the crowd to see, before Jay-Z walked out with a guitar slung across his body and into a rendition of Oasis's classic 'Wonderwall' - what a moment! Running through his set with an energy and determination unlike any other Jay-Z show before was a turning point for the history of the festival...and they said Hip-Hop was dead....

Jay-Z!!! Damn...the swag this guy has when he came on to the song, who's lead was bashing on him. The smile on his face as he rips that shit!

Then he drops his remix of American Boy..."London Bridge is falling down, not Bridges, but Breeches, when Jigga's in town..." He seems so entertained by his own verse that he needed to do it twice, once in acapella.

His set list was great. He did classics and played to the crowd perfectly. He performed hits he knew hit especially in Europe. Even the remix was down to cater that crowd. He smashed it with the one he did when he was rapping over Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up.
