Responses regarding the booking of Jay-Z to headline Glastonbury, culminated with slower ticket sales than usual has brought up some interesting issues over the last couple months. I was reminded of this by Jay's recent response to Noel Gallagher's stupidity. 

In case you missed it Noel said "I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music." followed by "i'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong"

Besides blatant ignorance (hip-hop artists have been performing at Glastonbury for years) it also shows a huge prejudice towards the music which has been echoed by many. The outcry that they should allow a rapper to have their precious "headline" slot highlights the snobbery and racist opinions of the people who attend this festival in direct contradiction to what it stands for. 

As a hip-hop head I spent many hours standing at that festival watching artists that I would never of thought to see but I did so with an open mind and respected their craft whether I liked the music or not. It appears that fake liberals, bohemians and the legions of mdma, ketamine and ecasty takers cannot do the same. It's a daam shame. 

Heres Jay-Z's response to the whole debacle:

"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. From Afrika Bambaataa DJ-ing in the Bronx and RUN DMC going platinum, to Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince winning the first rap Grammy, I'm just next in the line. We have to respect each other's genre of music and move forward ....

"The world has to change. It just can't be one thing -- and that's the beautiful thing." 

Exactly.

NEW MUSIC AND NEWS ROUND

NEWS AND GOSSIP

Shaun Wright_phillips is a WACE MAN!

Rumour has it that last week while Alicia Keys was in London to do a gig and also promote the launch of BET in the UK. At the gig in cafe de Paris the lil Chelsea second string midget tried to whoo her with some crystal and a little note inviting her to go watch him at Chelsea, which he sent to her through a waitress at the club. The singer must have noticed he looks about 12 not too mention the fact he's fucking ugly and declined, so lil Shaun went home alone. Wace man!

NEWS ROUND UP

Papoose vs Fat joe

Apparently there was an altercation between Papoose and Fat Joe on Friday 29th feb in a hotel room in North Carolina.
Story has it that Pap went to see Cassidy in his hotel room then Fat joe stormed in, asked if had a problem he then punched him so on and so forth.
This story has not been clarified by any of the camps so we wait to see what happens and who clear the air on this.

If it came to a fist fight doe, Pap is not packing more than a light middleweight at the most. I mean this guy probably a super bantom weight and we know fat joe aint no lightweight. So if it was a one on one i would expect pap to get at least a lil bruising.

More to come on this story soon


R.Kelly is on beef (he's a beast) lol

Everyone knows R.Kelly has had some problems regarding his personal life, from lil girls, urinating on them and all kinds of other dirt, this guy is pure classy.
