After all the drama and hype, Jay-Z finally took the stage at the 2008 Glastonbury festival this weekend. Despite what the critics expected, the superstar rapper was a hit. He started his gig with a cover of Oasis’ “Wonderwall” (a good way to get back at noel gallagher for talking mess earlier this year)..
According to one reviewer,
“Perhaps I was one of those who had doubts and I was concerned it would not work out, but he proved he is not just another pop star.” [READ MORE]
Anyway, peep video of the performance when you keep reading.

[clearing my throat] In Rihanna’s voice

Big up to all tha Jay & Bee haterz!!!!
………………you guys are hilarious wasting your energy on hatred.
the ass kissers who defend beyonce and jay z like they know them are just as much of a waste of energy and kind of psycho….
It wouldnt be ConcreteLoop if there wasnt a couple of tired haters sprinkled in the mix. Dont be mad at the haters, they cant help themselves. Their just doing there jobs.
Haters help your stock rise. At least thats all its doing for Jay and Bey.
Jay Z is a legend in the vein of Tupac and Biggie. He is larger than life, but More Intelligent and a bettery business man. He’s 39 years old with a 26 year old superstar wife, he’s on top of his game. While i do find his newer music uninspired and a tad boring, he’s kind of lost the love he one had for the game.
I do think he’s paved the way for everyone else. I’m glad he shut DOWN the show and did an incredible performance. He is THE MAN.
and to Beyonce: Thank you for disappearing, we were tired of ur screeching voice and barely there outfits, have some class.
Jay Z is a legend in the vein of Tupac and Biggie….umm helloo..slowly back off the pipe buddy….he is nowhere near those two…can he say he is orignal???hmmmm, naw..cam called him out on how much of a bitter he is…and his wife..i do agree wit what u said on that…she can take her own advise and put some clothes on!!!
HAHAHAHA I never knew they had beef. All in all, Noel as always been a douchebag (take his TRL appearence in the 90′s). So all alternative fans already know that BUT he had a point. That’s like inviting Lil Wayne to Ozzy Fest… NOT APPROPRIATE. So since he practiced all night to get back at Noel by covering his song, that makes him “not another pop act???” HA! That’s a fucking joke. Look, be happy you’ve gone far in your career but don’t get stupid w/ others you don’t identify w/. I don’t remember ANY song Jay did on his own (aka EXCLUDING the record w/ Linkin Park) having a rock, indie rock, punk rock, emo, post-new wave, dark wave, goth rock and etc. feel. Why; because HE DIDN’T. So like I said… Noel (even if he’s a douchebag) had a point.
@ 176…
Call me a Jay fan if you wish but all those artists you tried to claim as “original” have done the exact same thing Jay has done, sampled beats, lyrics, etc. Lil’ Wayne??? orignial??? are you shitting me? Listen to Rock Bottom by Pleasure featuring Lil’ Wayne the maturity of his part is a rip-off from Aaliyah’s I Don’t Wanna…. so before you go around saying Jay is lacking orginality make sure you check those who you are saying are “original”.
To be honest… everyone copies, imitates… their “idol”. That’s human nature…
so please find another reason to be a hater!!!
Thank you very much
Jay-Z Biggest Stan
*majority… not maturity…
The mainstream music industry has really gone to hell when somebody like Jay-Z and get up on stage and murder a guitar and people call it a great performance…I guess we all should proclaim him the next Jimi Hendrix, SMH.
Maybe I’m digging in too deep but a keffiyeh has much more significance than just being a fashion statement.
I don’t care what anyone has to say negative about Jay Z because at the end of the day, the dude is a businessman! He killed it at the show PERIOD! And yes, that cat from Oasis set himself up for that slaughter!
GO JAY! Do ya thang baby, do ya thang!
Just when I think he’s topped himself, he comes out with something like THIS! And yea, there are probably an insurmountable number of people who only support him for being black, wealthy and famous. Who cares! He’s making $$$ and selling. That’s his job!
Some of yall are a trip! LOL
good for him
