PICS/VIDEO: JAY-Z A SUCCESS AT THE GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL
Sunday, June 29, 2008
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.

Man what is the big deal with this 38 year old clown. I guess those with no foundation don’t know any better. I’d say with his looks and bByonce’s speech impediment, they make a great couple.

Either its mad cold or he’s covering up some herion tracks. Just kidding, but naw,…doesn’t he have on too much clothes? I mean, I thought it was summertime!!!! Anyhow, I don’t particularly care about Jay. Yeah he’s good but he’s becoming someone other than . I love Bey though!

#151 is just a plain ol hater. Come up with better insults. They make a great couple because they are both rich,talented,and successful and been on top of the game for years and both will be legends. Now hate on that.
#156 is just dumb. How many times do people have to say that he has the guitar because he is making fun of Noel from Oasis? I see Lil Wayne stans are just as slow as he is.
#157 you make think he’s ugly but Bee dont and I’m sure his wife opinion is the only one that matters to him.
Some people just say stupid ish just to be saying it.SMH

#8….IF SELLING MILLIONS AND PLAYING SOLD OUT CONCERTS WARRANTS YOU TO BE OVERRATED,,,WHY DON’T YOU TRY AND SEE HOW FAR YOU CAN GET. HE HAS LONGEVITY…CAN’T SAY THAT ABOUT A LOT OF OTHER STARS. AS MUCH AS PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE HIM,,,THE MAN IS A PRODUCT THAT SELLS!! THAT’S WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS ALL ABOUT.
BET YOU THINK SOULJA BOY, BOW WOW, & HURRICANE CHRIS ARE THE BUSINESS HUH….

Glad to see a black successful brother doing his thing but don’t really care for Jay-Z or the wifey. I could not sit thru the whole almost 10 minutes of that Youtube performance.
Just like he and the wife aren’t denying or admitting they’re married. I guess they will do the same when the divorce comes. I’m not a big fan of either of the two but I at least think they owe it to their fans to fess up that they’re happy and MARRIED!!! No wedding rings? I understand they want their privacy but this is ridiculous. They’re both looking like snobs right now.

@166, as a huge fan of both, they don’t owe me or you anything except great albums and concerts. their job is not to inform us about their personal lives, it’s to entertain us. furthermore, they have tattoos, why the hell do they need wedding rings?

Yeah, Beyonce and Jay-z are rich and successful, but there’s something about them that is very transparent. Maybe i have a strong intuition but i do no get good vibes about those two. He just seems like the type of person who would fuck over his best friend to gain material wealth. Maybe i am wrong. All in all, it was a good performance he put on.

Sorry JayZ Stans- Jayz’s good alright, he’s good at being a biter, not an original. Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Lil Wayne, etc….He’s copied all their styles and more. He should thank all the underground beat masters and lyricists out there that he’s taken credit for over the years. Finally he know he aint right for trying to adopt the almighty’s name- calling himself “Hov”. On an interview, someone asked him about that name and he was not the usual “cool” sarcastic Jay- he was shaking in his boots because he know better than using God’s name in vain.

Classic, pure classic. Thhat show was on fire, i could feel the energy through the screen, so i can’t even imagine what being there felt like. J did the damn thing and i am so proud of him. I loved every minute of it. Beyonce was sooooooo happy and proud of her man, she was about to break her neck and back jumping all over the place. That was too cute. She is definitely his #1 fan and biggest supporter. I really love and respect this couple. Great performance Jay, keep risin to the top. The opening song was straight funny and i know dud probably turned as red as a tomatoe. Aain, great show J.

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.

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.

JAY'Z BIGGEST STAN!!!
Tuesday, July 1, 2008 /
@ 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

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.

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
