I've not watched any of Glasto, but I've tuned in to watch Amy Winehouse and Jay-Z purely because I knew this is what people would be talking about. He's a showman, anybody who is a showman can headline a festival.
It's depressing looking at that crowd though, I mean, not saying anything about the demographic as I'm obviously not one to speak, but just the fact that at least half the people there clearly don't give a shit about Jay Z or rap music.
i don't think they're "classic" enough to be able to just walk into the slot and they're not current enough at the moment to justify taking it the way someone like Kings of Leon or White Stripes might get it.

He came on playin Wonderwall
:D
awsome, then bang in 99 problems
:D
starting with wonderwall!
One other problem
The crowd sang along rather than pissing their pants. Still, you can't buy a smart crowd. Well, Jay-Z probably could, actually.
AC/DC riffin
nice :)
I got one thing to say to you...
I GOT 99 Problems...
This
rocks already.
Fuck Noel Gallagher.
^this totally
i've never really listened to jay-z before but already i'm won over. i dont know what the fuss was all about
Get the black album, a few tunes on there
if it carries on like this
i may have to. i have reasonable doubt on my computer but i've not really given it time, is that a good place to start?
if it's what you've got then, um yes
Who's the other MC??
anyone...
my mum just asked that
hehe
Prodigy/Winehouse!
He's knows what he's doing, huh?
hype man?
it's
Memhpis Bleak
Bleek
while i'm at it *Memphis
damn pedant.
Is he playin rave now
is that prodigy beats?
yup
now it's winer!
he knows how to get a party started
wicked
i wish i was jay z
id hate...
to be noel right now.
owned!
finally
someone publical humiliated the stupid jumped up prick.
As Guy Garvey said earlier, i bet he regrets saying what he did.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
^This
I don't think he said anything
it's just down to the fact that he is putting on a show, and showing up the bland indie bands with silly haircuts.
this is
the only time I've watched the highlights this weekend and wanted to be there. But I'm seeing him Thursday so that soon passed.
how much were tickets?
any spares?
let's go!!
details
YEAH!
come on jonny, details! :D
Hyde Park
Thursday, part of Wireless innit
oh
forget that.
saul williams, cave singers, saul williams etc too
although I didn't pay for it
saul williams twice??
i want to go for free! how did you get to go for free?
i'm a media whore
ie, i'm reviewing it
I'm not watching as I'm going on Thursday too
but sounds like it could be quite Glastonbury specific? I hope he goes for it for his actual fans in Hyde Park too...
I have 60 quid right now.
and after 10 minutes of this, I'm already right now booking a ticket to see him live and buying three of his albums.
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!
OH MY GOD HE SAID THAT JUST AS I TYPED IT! :D
^
SO SO badly want to see him now. Unfortuately I have no money so shall have to make do with the TV.
This is fucking excellent.
A tribe called quest!
Bonita applebaum

I LOVE THIS MAN.
I wasnt that fussed
about him before, I mean hell heobviously had some wicked tunes, but hell he is a showman. Best bit of Glasto I have seen so far easy.
Barrack, Brrrap
Wow
.
Boo?
silly crowd
i think
there was a picture of bush behind him.
nuff said really.
yeah he whipped out bush
yeah and the dramatic pause was for BOOS!!!
they are not quite with it!
they're booing the photo of george bush
i know! they just didn't quite get into it
His acapella rappin
is tight as fuck.
pretty much the best decision
glasto ever made.
So fucking good.
Was that missuz Z?
Was that Beyonce?
Yup it was
:D This is so fucking good!
I didnt see
but it might have been Lil' Wayne in a dress?
la la
Mama let me upgrade u!
beyonce?
dirt off ya shoulder!
Jigga what?
h to the ibzo :')
nice
get ya damn hands up!
This is one of the great Glastonbury performances
I have never listened to Jay-Z before but this has totally destroyed all the MOR Indie acts.
Im with you
he is wippin out some party jams and uped the energy by at least a milli
THIS IS TOO GOOD
It's depressing looking at that crowd though, I mean, not saying anything about the demographic as I'm obviously not one to speak, but just the fact that at least half the people there clearly don't give a shit about Jay Z or rap music.
surely thats a good thing
he is trying to reach a new audience, and he may very well be suceeding
Yeah fair point
It's just a shame that I'm missing it live just cos it's at shitting Glastonbury.
THIS IS SO GOOD
wonder how the verve can follow this
tomorrow night
probibly come out
and play run of the mill osais cover versons then leave
does anyone think
verve are another really odd choice for headlining slot?
very odd
they don't seem big enough or current enough, just a band that were popular ten years ago that have reformed to a ripple of interest.
Well, considering
the first two of the three, supposidly, controversial mainstage headliners have been spot on so far, possibly not?
True
.
yep
i don't think they're "classic" enough to be able to just walk into the slot and they're not current enough at the moment to justify taking it the way someone like Kings of Leon or White Stripes might get it.

he is more than living up o the legend tag.

Might need to get me some Jay-to-the-Zizzle after this performance.

I am diliberating Blueprint or Black.... maybe american Gangsta? hmmm
Black!
i have got the cd out and will be going to bed with Mr Carter this even'in
Grey
That Danger Mouse mash-up between The Beatles' White Album and Jay Z's Black Album is one of the best things I've ever heard.
I have been randomly looking for that
for ages online to download or somat but with no luck.
blueprint
hahah
one all so far for blue n black...
Well I'm ordering Blue AND Black.
Was gonna get American Gangster too, but I know I'd just end up neglecting one if I did all three.
good choice
:)
