Jay-Z Demands 'Respect' From Noel Gallagher

Over the Glastonbury furore...

Jay-Z has hit out at criticism of his booking for this year’s Glastonbury saying he deserves “respect” from other artists.

The rapper particularly singled out Noel Gallagher’s attack on Hip Hop featuring so highly on the bill at the festival.

He said: "We don't play guitars, Noel, but hip-hop has put in its work like any other form of music. This headline show is just a natural progression. Rap music is still evolving.

"We just have to respect each other's genre of music and move forward."

He added: "I've never ever had a show that's caused this much of a stir so I'm really looking forward to it. I've never been involved in anything this controversial. What's the big deal about doing a show?

"I guess it's heritage and people hold that dear to their heart and see it one way but that's how the world is. The world has to change.

“It just can't be one thing - and that's the beautiful thing. That's why people feel so passionate about an event."

  • Im a massive Oasis fan, but have to say that is a top response from Jay-Z. He could have gone on to slag Noel off, spat his dummy out etc etc but as Pablo said its a really articulate and intelligent response from Jay-Z. Fair play to him is what I say

  • Jay-Z, do the world a favour and shut up. ”Brilliant response” you say, but listen to his music. If he’d put all this ”brill” words on his songs, I could respect him, but he just know how to ”sing” about crap stuff. I won’t say that Noel is right, but he is FAR BETTER than Jay-Z on ”brilliant responses”. Bah.
