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


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?


Who's the other MC??

anyone...


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!


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.


^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


oh yeah

nice


Bonita

bonita

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.


-

Just wow. This is making my weekend.


weezy

a milli :D


FUCK

YES.
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 and the dramatic pause was for BOOS!!!

they are not quite with it!


His acapella rappin

is tight as fuck.


pretty much the best decision

glasto ever made.

So fucking good.


Was that missuz Z?


Yup it was

:D This is so fucking good!


I didnt see

but it might have been Lil' Wayne in a dress?


la la


beyonce?

dirt off ya shoulder!


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.


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.


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.


hahaha!


huh?

.


I'm a hustler babeeeeeeeeeee

I just wanted you to know


I'm well suprised at how many of these tunes I know

I have at least head um all before at least once before.


10 LPs

a fair back catalogue to call on, plus soo many samples, who's going to deny him?


not me thats for sure

he is more than living up o the legend tag.


Yeah, same here

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


yeah

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

:)
