Genius Moment: Hov-asis plays Glastonbury….aka Getting the last laugh
Posted by Miss Info under concerts , good for hip hop , good for humanity , good for me , videos[23] Comments
Yo, I love this….that after all the bitching and moaning that Noel Gallagher from Oasis did about how hip hop has no place at the huge UK music festival…Jay-Z didnt just tighten up on some, cough-up-a-lung-Marcy-son machismo…..he rose to the occasion with the best 1-2 punch of all….humility….followed by devilish humor.
The humility was in the interview segments that Hov did before the show. Talking about how he understood the resistance but that this was a big moment for hip hop’s progression. Word and word.
The “pisser” was this…
For those who never listen to any Oasis, Jay is singing*** their hit “Wonderwall,” which Hov opens with the awesomely appropriate line “I dont believe that anybody feels that way I do about you now.” Zing!
(***um, I’m using that term loosely, lol, he sounds like me singing Tevin Campbell at a norebang (korean karaoke) after a couple forced shots of Crown (yuck).
And prior to the Glastonbury show there were some laughs at at another interview show…after the jump
I’m trying to understand why the talk show circuit here in the US is so amazingly boring compared to the shows like Jonathan Ross and The Sunday Night Project.

I would put Jay singing “Wonderwall,” which is my jam when I’m twisted by the way, under the definition of undercover pwnage…

That was amazing, it would have been incredible to have been there.
TV captured it great though.
Its cool that the UK seems relevant to you Americans at the moment.
We are all the same at the end of the day.

lol jay is hilarious… i really enjoyed watching this, will smith was funny as well as always.. your right miss info the talk shows over here are the shit.. when they have cool guests on that is, sometimes the guests tend to be a bit boring, but i love it when they put people like jay z on, its something different. kanye & pharrell were really good on the sunday night project as well, lol got a bit off subject there but yeah.. hip hop at the glastonbury festival is a good look, noel is just hating for no reason.. we need more hip hop acts over here because not everyone wants to listen to the indie/rock thing all the time.. and also coz its the best music genre.. ever lol

What Jay z did is incredible he took hip-hop to a majority who know little or close to nothing about hip-hop coz most of them are like hippie type people so for him to get that response was legendary.
He came on, and even as a hip-hop fan I was blown away witht the performance, he picked up some of the UK slang and encorporated it into his lyrics.
Miss Info trust me it was a “I Mic” moment just Jay Z with a mic no guest appearances apart from 5 mins of Memphis Bleek.
He had a “Fuck Bush Moment” and “Welcome Barack Obama moment” that went down well with the crowds. Wow!! Jay Z is the best rapper alive, what more can I say….

Kudos to Hov for being the better man outside of the ring, and being an ambassador and winning the crowd…
great chess move, on some 48 Laws Of Power/Art Of War type-ish

jay was amazing, i had to listen on the radio though, would have loved to have been there, i think i can honestly say there wont ever be a time in my life that i wish i was at glastonbury more than when jay was performing.
soon as i heard the guitar strumming at the beginning i turned to my mate like “OMG THATS WONDERWALL HES PLAYING WONDERWALL” hahaa absolute genius moment!
i understand noels comments, but also they were plain ignorant because after that performance now, he cant tell me theres no place for hip hop at glastonbury.
