Rising to the Occasion
Posted by Bossip Staff
Beyonce cheered for her boo Jay-Z the Camel as he blew the roof off at Glastonbury this weekend. The Hov also set the record straight for all those opposed to him perfoming at the festival, especially that wack singer Noel Gallagher:
Jay-Z had an answer for his toughest critic at the annual Glastonbury Music Festival in Britain Saturday. The 142,500 fans in attendance cheered as Jigga took the stage with a guitar slung over his shoulder and immediately sang along to “Wonderwall,” the 1995 hit single from British band Oasis.
Oasis lead singer, Noel Gallagher, has repeatedly voiced his frustration with Glastonbury organizers for choosing Jay-Z, a hip hop act, to headline a festival that has been traditionally rooted in rock and alternative music.
“The world should be all about mixing culture,” Jay-Z said to UK radio personality Tim Westwood. “Hip-hop is music in its art form. It should be accepted and respected. It’s all the same thing, it’s just coming from a different perspective.”

1st!!
actually it was over 300,000 but jay did his thing
1st- Hova was crap!!! am sorry, he should have done better and his arrogance was alomst at a Weezy level!!
I mean seriously Noel had a point- you wouldn’t expect – the Rolling Stones or My Chemical romance to headline a Hip Hop festival, would you?
correction- Kanye level
at the very least he should have brought on his famous friends to collabo ie. ColdPlay, Linking Park or even NERD and his wifey! The crowd would have gone crazy then!
LOL!!! Ohhhh shada*****k up *****es!!! It’s over!! He headlined your bull$h1t as tour! Now what??? Lemme guess… ***** & moan about it?
oh boo hoo
Nah, great that he played the concert alone! It was one of the best concert in the history!Why he should bring someone out, he was booked for this event and not Nerd….or sometone else
camel had no business there, period. this was about rock and alternative music. this wasn’t *****in’ Hot 97 summerjam. he better be glad they didn’t boo his ***** off the stage like they did that ***** kanGAYe.
I was laughing when he was trying to sing. Goodness he sound a mess! I can understand both arguments on each end, but I’d say give the fans what they want. It seems like they accepted Jay very well, but I agree with Vinandi he should’ve had linkin park with him or he should’ve brought out kid rock since he was using his rock beat. That definitely would have show the mixture of rock and hip hop like how run dmc and aerosmith did back in the day.
***** JAY-Z! I THINK HE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DOWN FALL OF RAP!***** HIM! BUT AS FAR AS HIS SUCCESS, NUFF RESPECT!
if this article is about jay z, why is there a picture of beyonce up here? bossip is obviously on her payroll. y’all do more ***** riding than superhead.
WHO CARES,DONT CARE FOR JAY-Z’S MUSIC ANYMORE,HE NEEDS TO COME OUT WITH A NEW ALBUM,I ONLY LIKED THAT LAST SONG FROM AMERICAN GANGSTER,BUT HIS LAST ALBUM DID NOT LIKE,BUT HES MAKING HIS MONEY IN OTHER AREAS,WHICH IS A GOOD THING.
jay-z appeals to all kinds of audiences so he had every right to perform…
and they do say that jay z is an undercover white boy, so i guess that’s why he feels like he belongs there.
so does that mean that oasis is gonna perform at the next hip hop music festival? SMH.
beyonce is a ride or die ***** and i ain’t mad at her at all…
black love peoples…get some!
Smilin’ at ole boy up that ***** STILL CRYING
talkin’ bout what they COULDA SHOULDA WOULDA did! OH well…
All them *****es had their hands up HIGH for the ENTIRE show… your “argument” is moot! YouTube pts 1-7
high def too LOL
He can perform any damn where he pleases. They ASKED him to perform. What the ***** is with all the damn segregation? Some bull***** comments on here today. Who don’t approve of him performing then ***** you pay him he did the damn thing and the crowd loved him. Get over it.
SMH… what’s wrong with integrating both music genres? NEW ideas will probably bring up the attendance to that festival.
cool“““`
LOL @ Jay Z’s singing.
He had the right to be there, keep on doing ur thing Jay.
@Vinandi
Stop hating he did GREAT. If he had any special guest you would have gave them all the credit. Just look at the crowd he rocked the house.
so jay plays guitar now? and hip hop is art argument is what really died…not hip hop
She is sexy.I have searched her photo on ” casualseek.com ” which is a casual encounter dating site. It is said that she is seeking one night relationship . Is it true?
I really like these two together.
@dayg715
They didn’t boo him because they loved him and as the show went on they should it more and more.
@B’More
@dayg715
@Vinandi
It’s funny on other boards that are for people that would have actually gone to that type of festival he’s getting nothing but love. But on a “black site” full of most people that likely would not we have you three crabs in a barrel. And I’ll bet you all would say your not haters.
Noel Gallagher, stop drinking that haterade!
JAY HAS SUCCESFULLY DONE WHAT SOME PEOPLE CANNOT DO. AND THATS HAVING THE ABILITY TO APPEAL TO A BROADER AUDIENCE WITHOUT LOSING SENSE OF ORIGINALITY. JAY IS THAT DUDE, HANDS DOWN. YES I OPENLY STAN FOR JAY!
LMAO @ Crackhouse working out her right jab on her fans while singing…and not missing a beat.
I used to love that song Wonderwall. I mean isn’t it Oasis’ attitude why they fell apart and couldn’t get along anyway. They need to stop. Go ahead Jay…do your thing Pa!
damn, so i must be the only person that saw the first picture and thought it was lindsey lohan. honestly, if it didn’t say beyonce, i wouldn’t have known.
don’t go headline that tour, you don’t belong there…stay in your place!!
you people sound like some folks straight out of the 1950s and 1960… don’t vote, don’t ride in the front of the bus…don’t ask to be paid as much as the next man….
Why is Beyonce dressed like Inspector Gadget?
@ Coop
am not hating- just saying it like it is!
I live in the UK- and my mates went and the audience was split! he did his best but it was not the right place for it!
My man is a Hova fan and he loved the perfomance- but if Jay is trying to convert Hip Hop illeterate and Rock fans to his music I just dont think he pulled it off!!!
I watched the live performance on TV last night and when they focused on peeps faces- you could see that not everyone was convinced!
Hvae you seen any Britsh sites?? cause the American ones aren’t alwasy accurate you know!!!
Amy Winehouse is a real crackmess…shame she’s wasting her talent! Bey-Z are going strong…great!
Actually, I was at the concert and there were boos and people even left. Out of the hundreds of thousands of revelers, only 100,00 staid aroud for Jays performance. And the promoter/owner himself said he got *****ed out of $10 million dollars messing arond with Jay headlining because of poor ticket sales, etc. It’s a ***** rock concert. Black people would be *****ed if Avenged Sevenfold was headlining Summer Jam. Jay just made everyone look stupid, so stupid that they’re nto bringing anymore rappers back – EVER! Yeah, he was such a success…
@ Opinion Distributor
Its the equivalent of Avril Lavigne opening the BET awards or some ish like that!
Did Bossip just call Noel a Doofus?
That Doofus and his band has sold over 23 Million copies worldwide for one of their albums.
The Best Jay-Z has done is 8 Million copies.
Dan you are the *****ing man!
Congrats to jay… is bey trying to be ‘incognito?’ lmao
Jay-Z needs to listen to people who have sold more than 3 times the amount he has on their best work.
The Carters are still rockin’ the house…Good for the ‘business partners’
LMAO…Brooklyn!
Yea and she looks hella hot!
whatever! Jay is worth 600 million!
Good for the business partners…
but bad for everyone’s ears at the concert
Bey was really cheering for her man though- it was well cute ( and I never stan for the wig crypt)!
@ Camel’s Wife – that’s exactly the problem here. Joe Camel thinks that because he has money and power, he can just shove his way into performing at a rock concert.
Hmmm… I’m not feeling Jay Z on this one. Seems like he was being a bit disrespectful (with the guitar and using the Oasis music and what not). Noel Gallagher has a right to be upset. I know lots of hip hop fans would be *****ed off if a rock group were to headline Summer Jam or any other “hip hop” concert. I wonder if Jay Z would take the most relevant rock band and add them to HIS next concert?
And is it just me or does beyonce look like a white woman in that picture? I thought the pic was a fake at first…
thats not beyonce in that picture.
Noel shoulda punched Jay-Z
Noel would win hands down in a brawl.
I thought that Bee was Lindsey Lohan for a minute! lol
Look they asked him to perform he didn’t just crash the *****. He can perform anywhere he damn well pleases. Obviously they seen something in him they liked and Noel whatever can just kiss his *****.
that dont look like beyonce at all
LOL@Amy Crackhouse tryna be Mike Tyson. They’re both crazy so not entirely surprising…
it is defo Beyonce!!!
aCTUALLY JAY IS WORTH A 940 MILLION…You have to understand that in it’s simplest form rap/hip hop music is rock music. If you think a little more deeply than a guitar rif.. both rebel against the staus quo both derive from and are sub cultures of other forms of established conservative accepted music forms. One of the greatest pioneers of hip hop is Rick Rubin.. producer/ co-founder of Def Jam. Rock Box, Walk This Way..Beastie Boys hits..etc..that is over 20 years ago..These 2 genres are cousins. Jay has no need to apologize for being a great artist..he didn’t force his way on stage the organizers recognized his talent and booked. But you have to understand.. he is the only rap/hip hop artist that could do the show and was wonderful..Much respect to Jay for taking hip hop to new levels of success and exposure.

Noel shoulda punched Jay-Z

===========================================
LMPRAO… Are you serious?
What does “dan” stand for?…
Dumb-A$$-Nicca
That ***** Jigga need to stop trippin on trying to perform a cl*****ic song like “Wonderwall.” That Oasis album has sold more copies than any album Jay-Z has ever released and that is a fact.
Yeah but is he a better than Jay? Hell no.
I’m sorry but i don’t think Jay should’ve been there. It’s a ROCK concert! We don’t want Cold Play (Jay continues to ride Chris Martins nuts) opening up at Summer Jam (not that I go there). I understand he’s big in hip hop and all but you can’t force yourself on people.
Didn’t look like Beyonce. It looked 100 times better than Bey. Bossip, are you sure?
That is definitely not Beyawnce. I can tell because those are not House of Dereon styles. LOL
Jay-Z should go on the Ozzfest tour this year if he wants to be rock!
If that is beyonce it sure doesnt look like her…..im sorry but that chick looks a bit on the old side
Jay-z is a musician..i’m glad he performed by himself and didn’t bring out any rock groups to appeal to those who don’t appreciate his brand of music..music is music no matter what genre you put it in.. HOVA!
@ brooklyn, Stand up!
Yes I am serious. Jay-Z needs to be punished for his foolishness – performing at a concert no one wants him to perform at.
Those of you who are saying that’s not Beyonce are retarded.
Bossip step ya’ll game up! Ya’ll have the dumbest people commenting on ya’ll blog. Not a good look.LMAO
Anyway that is obviously Bey and she looks gorgeous as usual. She is #4 on forbes and her and Jay are laughing to the bank so what the ignorant folks on here think dont matter. They are on top.
Congrats to Jay on proving his haters wrong and giving a hot concert.
Dont these racist aholes know WE created rock, Jay Z absolutely had every right to be there…..
He killed it. Shut Noel Ghallager up! Hehehe
Those of you who are saying that’s not Beyonce are retarded.
__________________________________________
I didn’t say that wasn’t Beyonce, but is that comment really neccesary, what kind of world would this be if we all agreed? Pretty boring, please people lets let others have their own opinion without calling names, especially if you weren’t their to know if it actually was Beyonce OR not. Thanks.
Yeah I agree that don’t look like Beyonce I thought it was some random white chick.
I get the arguement people are saying if the Festival was an ode to Rock why have a hip hop rapper headline. I mean in all respects that is cool. I dont believe he still should have not performed just maybe not headlined.
Oh well….
why do beyonce look like she snuck in, with an employee from shoe city?
Much respect to Jay and his big “***** you” performance.
if you look really hard and close at these photo’s THIS DOES NOT look like BEYONCE it is a LOOK A LIKE! fo sho “look at the nose”…
BUT KING J did rock this!! stop HATE N all you HATERS he is the Best rapper out HANDS DOWN no one can get down like him… he is the ONLY RAPPER that can make a CROWD throw up His Signature Sign!!
Good afternoon all!
Bey lookin kinda pasty in that pic.. she need to hit up some sun soon. As for the concert, its about music…nothing else. The folks at the festival asked him to do it.. for a reason. He showed and gave a good show… the others can hate all they want.
Do your thang Jay.
SMFH at ANY black person saying he shouldn’t have been there. I guess Barack shouldn’t be in the White House either, huh?
I swear this ***** is the best. It’s Hovy baby!
Good for Hov! Why does Beyonce look like Lindsay Lohan in that picture?
I think I’m agreeing with “whatever” right now.
@Dan
Who promoted the concert…I’m sure Jay didn’t come knocking on the UK’s door to perform…what’s with all the hate?
ACTUALLY JAY IS WORTH A 940 MILLION…You have to understand that in it’s simplest form rap/hip hop music is rock music. If you think a little more deeply than a guitar rif.. both rebel against the staus quo both derive from and are sub cultures of other forms of established conservative accepted music forms. One of the greatest pioneers of hip hop is Rick Rubin.. producer/ co-founder of Def Jam. Rock Box, Walk This Way..Beastie Boys hits..etc..that is over 20 years ago..These 2 genres are cousins.

But you have to understand.. he is the only rap/hip hop artist that could do the show and was wonderful..Much respect to Jay for taking hip hop to new levels of success and exposure.
I couldn’t imagine anyone singing Wonderwall besides Oasis! I’m not saying he shouldn’t have been there, but for me, I keep all of my genres separate. Sometimes blending is ok, but Jay-z covering Oasis? Come on now…
LMFAO @ AMy Wino punching somebody and continuing to sing! She is my favorite druggie ever. I hope she cleans herself up enough to stay around for awhile…….such a waste of talent for her to continue downhill. Let us pray for her, ya’ll
Winehouse needs some serious help
that is beyonce 100%
@ Afiya
All the hate – because there were a lot of people who didn’t enjoy Jay-Z’s performing at the concert. – and this was totally forseeable. Clearly, he was forcing himself on us fans, just because he had the power.
damn jay said he got 99 problems and a ***** aint one, then he said money over *****es, did he know beyonce was in the crowd? I think she snuck in.
@ Afiya
Bossip pulled down the Will Smith Post from the main page – I wonder why???
jayz rocked the damn shoe, and I’m not even a fan. I love it! he tore it up.
jayz rocked the show, damn typo.
jayz rocked the show, damn typo.
Hahaha JayZ Rocked the Shoe!
Jay-Z shoulda stayed Retired.
Who told Jay-Z to come out of Retirement…this could have been avoided!
99 problems BUT Noel Galleghers Drunk ***** AINT 1!! Big Up HOV
@ Amy Crackhouse punching guy…I have not laughed like that in a minute. How you gonna punch somebody and just keep singing? I LOVE it!
Jay-Z is the man, and all you *****’s who say he should retire are just some d*ck riding deep south rap Bama n*ggas/n*ggettes. face it, deep south rap will never go global because its sh*tty casio beat bounce music for a segregated part of the U.S.
No one understands what youre saying, no one cares about your babymommas, your guns or your minimall clubs. Put Lil wayne in front of 300,000 people and they’d tear that n*gga apart.
I’m confused. I wanna hear from people that were at the concert more than us Americans basically because we are thinking that people enjoyed it, but from what people that were there are saying the opposite about how people were leaving and *****ed and how more than half the people there didnt buy tickets because he was the headliner. I honestly feel their pain because they paid to for a Rock n Roll concert which is what they wanted to see and I think the ticket sales proved that booking Jay wasn’t a good idea not because he isn’t good, but simply because he’s not a rock n roll artist.
I think they had a hip hop concert in Brooklyn I read with so many historic mcs. Picture if they started that show with Cold Play. Those people would’ve been *****ed and started throwing things.
its HOVE BABY!!! jigga got is point across, and still performed. he belonged there as much as they wanted him there, which was obviously the case. Even crackhouse gave her stamp of approval. the point is: his performing at blasbury was SUPPOSED to be different; it was supposed to break boundaries and traditions to show the level of acceptance that hip hop has reached in most cultures. think about it: all those people there to rock and alternative, were still psyched to see him. and did you hear any cryin or booin? aight then.
Congrats to Jay for shutting em down! Take THAT Noel Gallagher!
All posts about Jay-Z seems to be public campaign. Never seen a bad post about him, always a propagand.
Jay thats how you get back!!! Not b*tching and moaning but showing em up at they own sh*t. It bewilders me how ronk & roll artist cant indentify with hip hop when rock used to be held in the same light, as far as being a nuance and cl*****ified as not “real” music. Now hip hop is bigger and artists cant stand it that it out sales everything.
@ LADY ARCHITECT
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT THE OWNERS VIDEO THAT I POSTED TO SEE HIS RESPONSE AND
THEN GO TO YOU TUBE AND WATCHED THE WHOLE PERFORMANCE TURN YOUR CONTRAST AND BRIGHTNESS LEVEL HIGH SO YOU CAN SEE THE CROWD THAT CROWD WAS SPREADED ALL OVER THE FIELD RIGHT FRONT TO BACK 120.000 IN ATTENDENCE ? NOW PEOPLE SWARE UP AND DOWN THAT PEOPLE WAS BOO’ING RIGHT? WELL WHEN HE WAS ASKING THE CROWD HOW THEY LIKED THE SHOW AND SO ON WHY DID HE ONLY GET CHEERS WHEN HE LEFT THE STAGE THEY WERE CHANTING HIS NAME THEN HE CAME BACK OUT AND ASKED DID THEY WANT A ENCORE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WAS CHEERING
THEY KNEW “SON OF A *****” PART IN IZZO THEY WERE SINGING ALONG/WAVING THERE HANDS TO HARD KNOCK LIFE,I KNOW AND 99 PROBELMS AND TWO STEPPING TO EXCUSE ME MISS ***** ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE REVIEWS THE VIDEO IS ALL THE PROOF NEEDED
IT’S ON YOU TUBE THE WHOLE THING IS BORKEN UP INTO PARTS IN HIGH DEFFINITION
PEOPLE JUST LIKE TO HATE SO FOR GET THEM I HAVE A BRAIN I KNOW BETTER NOE SAYING EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS HAPPY BUT BEST BEILIVE 90% LEFT PLEASE AND SURPRISED
Go Hov 99 problems but that ***** aint one he still headlined ….

Side note it was Germany they have a history with Jews and Black people ..QQ..kid rock has done alot of hip hop shows maroon 5 also so keep up the good work Jay Z.
Jay-Z should stayed Retired.

===============================================
Whatz good big dawg? Yeah, I’ve seen him in concert many times and he does go in.
Jigga still continues to make history! Over 150,000 fans in the audience! Do you all understand that! Those are Michael Jackson type numbers! 150,000 folks coming out for a concert to hear a dude from the projects of NYC! That’s unheard of! You mean dude from the ghettos of Marcy projects pulling 150,000 plus fans! Just love it! This was a big day for Hip Hop around the world! Glad his Queen was on hand to witness one of the greatest shows of his career!
Beyonce so wants to be hood it’s ridiculous…she mimmicks Jay-Z forgetting all his street cred is down the toilet…
Jay-Z is garbage. He needs to keep his camel mouth shut.

Jay-Z should stayed Retired.
Not when you can pull a crowd of 150,000! That’s just out of this world!
LOL@ folks mad cause Jiggaman made headlines all around the world! Give it up! Jigga stays ballin’!

The festival sold out completely! Checkmate! Jigga did his thing!
Lil Wayne, 150,000 in the audience? 147,500 asking for refunds or they’ll burn the stadium down1
Somebody shoulda took Jay-Z’s guitar and smashed his Camel head with it.
The festival didn’t sell out because of Jay-Z.
Most of the people at the concert went to see the other bands.
Dan i dont see anything that says people left that concert.
I am so proud of Jay! He held his on inspite of the naysayers, and ended up being the best thing at the festival. Jay’s performance went down in history. Folks will be talking about this night for years. I know Gallagher wished he kept his mouth closed. The fans in the UK proved that they were down with Hip Hop and new his songs! Did you all see the videos of the SEA of FOLKS singing along to Jay! Loved it! Jay rocked the mic.

Sorry dude, watched the who show. Jay shut it down! Read all the reviews too! Not a soul left or booed! I know the haters are mad cause Jay did the thang! It was a historic night for Hip Hop around the world. Jay represented the genre well. He showed that Hip Hop was just as important as any other artform. The fans in Uk agreed too!
Missing # 4, LOL!!
dan(Check me out!)
The festival didn’t sell out because of Jay-Z.
Most of the people at the concert went to see the other bands.
I agree. But Gallagher and the haters said the show wouldn’t sell out because of Jay being a headliner. Jay proved them wrong. Tickets did sell out and there were over 150,000 people watching Jay’s performance. His show got the best reviews of the whole festival. History was made!
Just watched the whole show on youtube and Jay brought the heat! Loved it!
That punch was funny. Why is Amy so tan. If you don’t like black people so much why you trying to tan your skin to look like ours? Hmm?
everyone needs to get out of here with this Jay-Z doesn’t belong here bull. we should be proud they invite someone black anywhere. aren’t we all votin for Obama? WELL PEOPLE LIKE HIM SPEARHEAD THINGS LIKE THIS. Black people should be able to diversify too. Can we perform at the Glastonbury festival “yes, we can.” Jay is a rock star anyway.
Dan
what town do you live in? i need to issue a police-letter for you..you’ve been leaving these hateful comments in all the posts..you need help, like yesterday
And Amy needs A Halfwayhouse’s voice is amazin but there are a million other black people that can sing like her
I know it was a dope show!
http://www.najeestyle.com
http://www.theceelist.com
If people liked him then I don’t see why people are in here arguing. From what I just watched seemed like they did unless I’m being deceived or something. I donno congrats to him, but like I said earlier I can see why some people are angry and I don’t think they are angry about Jay not being talented enough, but more so about wanting to see a pure rock n roll festival. It is understandable so I won’t argue.
I just watched the show on youtube, sorry dan but jigga was killin’ it!
Jigga What, Jigga Who? that was some call and response sh*t!
No the video is not portraying correctly what actually happened. I was there, and if you look at some of the others who commented at the beginning of this, they agreed too. It was half boos and half cheers (i.e. the die hard Jay-Z fans)
Half of the people like Camels, and half don’t I guess.
@ Bree
There’s nothing wrong with me not liking Joe Camel.
Everyone is allowed to express their opinions.
@DAN
WELL IF THAT CAMEL COMES IN THE FORM OF A BLACK MAN, GROWING UP IN THE PROJECTS, USING HIS EXCELLENT TALENT TO BECOME THE MOST SUCCESSFUL HIP HOP ARTIST, THEN YOU DAMNED RIGHT WE LIKE CAMELS. NO ONE IS SAYING YOU HAVE TO LIKE JAY. BUT COME ON. WHEN PEOPLE FROM OTHER CULTURES COME AND PERFORM AT OUR AWARD SHOWS, AND POP UP ON OUR COUNTDOWNS AND MUSIC CHANNELS, YOU DONT SEE US ON MTV GOING OFF ABOUT IT. OR WRITING ROLLING STONES MAGAZINE FLIPPIN OUR LID. FOLKS JUST SEEM TO LOVE BLACK CULTURE. LIKE IT OR NOT, JAY IS A TALENTED BROTHER. REGARDLESS OF THOSE WHO YOU CLAIM DIDNT WANT TO SEE HIM THERE, THE CROWD “I” SAW, WAS FULL OF WHITE FACES AND THEY WERE GOING OFF. SO PLEASE, GO ON AND HOLD THAT.
Joe Camel ruined the concert for me.
@sxyQblondie
This has nothing to do with race for me.
It’s about music and the product being offered, and how he forced himself on us fans who wanted to attend the concert. It was like – well, you can see the other bands, but Jay-Z will take up some of the time of the concert too.
WHAT UP 6AM
@dan
SEVERAL YEARS AGO I WENT TO A SPRING JAM IN RALEIGH NC. THE PERFORMERS WERE 112, PHILLIES MOST WANTED, TANK, LUDACRIS, JA-RULE AND MURDER INC, AND FINALLY JAY-Z, MEMPHIS BLEEK, AND BEANS. I REALLY COULDVE CARED LESS TO SEE ANY OF THE OTHER PERFORMERS, AND BECAUSE I LOVE JAY SO MUCH, IT WOULD BE JUST MY LUCK THAT THEY WOULD PUT HIM ON LAST. BUT DESPITE THE FACT THAT I DIDNT WANT TO SEE ANYONE ELSE, I RESPECTABLY SUFFERED THRU IT UNTIL MY MAN GOT ON STAGE. NOW, THIS IS NOT TO BEAT YOU IN THE HEAD WITH HOW MUCH I LOVE JAY. NO, INSTEAD IT IS TO SHOW YOU THAT AT ANY MULTI ARTIST PERFORMANCE THERE WILL BE PEOPLE PERFORMING THAT YOU DONT WANT TO SEE. BUT THAT DOESNT TAKE AWAY FROM THEIR TALENT, AND THE FACT THAT THEY DESERVE THEIR SHINE. EVEN IF IT ISNT FROM YOU.
Dan
you’ve been leaving hateful comments since 10am..did you not get your point across yet?..again, you need help, like YESTERDAY!
that dosent look like no damn beyonce and if it is her shes on some micheal jackson ish getting lighter and whiter lookin by the day!
I dont know, Jay-z with a guitar doesnt seem original. I know anyone can play a guitar but it seems like he’s trying to copy another Carter…..
@ Bree
No I haven’t gotten my point across yet.
Is it just me or Bey, keeping that left ring finger cover?
@sxyQblondie
But at least in your case, the concert you went to – all the artists were in the same Genre.
What if you had eg. Josh Groban or Michael buble before Jay-Z in the concert you went to. And keep in mind, Josh Groban or Michael Buble woulda took another Hip Hop Artist’s place (because there’s always a limit of how many artists can perform)
@ Bree
by the way – how are my comments hateful. Just because I’m not Praising him.
there’s a difference between critical comments vs. Hating.
yeh he got a good reaction in glastonbury, but i agree he shouldn’t have headlined.
Kings of leon should of headlined instead
Plus i dont even think jayz is anything special, compared to Bone thugs n harmony, big L, tupac and mobb deep in the 90s!
@dan
IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, JAY-Z WAS THE ONLY ARTIST WHO DIFFERED IN TASTE FOR YOU AS FAR A GENRE IS CONCERNED, WITH THAT PARTICULAR CONCERT. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDNT ENJOY THE OTHER ARTISTS, THEY WERE IN THE SAME GENRE. THIS IS WHAT IM GATHERING FROM WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. NOW, ONCE AGAIN, I WILL USE THE *****OGY PREVIOUSLY STATED. WHEN I CUT ON MY RADIO OR TELEVISION, AND I HEAR/SEE ARTISTS OF OTHER GENRES PERFORMING, IT DOESNT KILL ME. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I DONT LIKE IT. I BELIEVE WHAT MAY RESIDE IN YOU IS A PROFOUND HATRED FOR HIP HOP ITSELF. AND THAT IS YOUR CHOICE. HOWEVER, IT IS APPARENT THAT SEVERAL OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHERE EVER YOU ARE, OR WHEREVER THE CONCERT WAS THAT YOU ATTENTDED, ENJOY SOME OF THE CULTURE THAT IS HIP HOP. IF THAT WERE UNTRUE, THEN JAY-Z WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PERFORM AT THIS PARTICULAR EVENT. AND FOR THAT MATTER, WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE PRIVELEAGE TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS HE IS RIGHT NOW. HIP HOP DOES NOT WISH TO STEAL ANYTHING AWAY FROM YOU, OR FORCE ITSELF ON YOU. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD QUESTION THE POWERS THAT BE, THE ONES WHO GAVE JAY-Z THE GO AHEAD TO PERFORM.
Jigga needs to go to sleep. He has nothing left to prove..I understand being competitive, but Bill Gates just stepped down, take a cue.
@ sxyQblondie
You didn’t answer my question of how you would have felt about your Concert if Josh Groban or Michael Buble for eg. was part of the concert you attended.
Jayz , should seriously shut the hell up…why should we expect Rock fans to accept hip hop when whe dont ask the same of the same ol’ same ol of hip hopsters….they havn’t changed ***** in the last 15 yers of hip hop, nothing inovative, just more sampling and talking about money, fat butts, possesions, and drug dealing….Rock music expect more from thier muscians …please dont go and corrupt alternative Rock too…hip hop has done enough damage in the black community.
….I am not a rock music fan( funk/house music fan)but I would not accept that ***** , if I was them!

@dan
TO BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU, AND THIS IS MY HONEST ANSWER, AS LONG AS I WAS GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE ARTIST THAT I WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN SEING (IN THIS CASE YOU USED JAY-Z AS MY EXAMPLE) THEN I WOULD NOT PITCH A FUSS IF 1 ARTIST THAT I DID NOT CARE FOR PERFORMED. ITS ONLY 1 ARTIST. ITS NOT LIKE THEY PUT IN 5 HIP HOP ARTIST AND YOU ONLY GOT TO SEE 1 OF YOUR FAVORITE ACTS. THIS IS WHAT IM TRYING TO GET YOU TO SEE. THOSE OF US WHO LOVE JAY AND HAVE FOLLOWED HIS CAREER, LISTENED TO HIS ALBUMS, CONSIDER HIM TO BE ONE OF THE BEST, ARE PROUD OF HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. HE APPARENTLY IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT IF HE HAS THE ABILITY TO PERFORM AT A CONCERT THAT PREDOMINATELY SHOWCASES “OTHER GENRE’S BESIDES HIP HOP”. I DIDNT LIKE AMY WINEHOUSE’ PIPEHEAD ***** WHEN SHE FIRST CAME OUT. BUT I COULD NEVER SAY SHE DIDNT HAVE TALENT. AND WHEN THEY GAVE HER THE CHANCE TO PERFORM AS CERTAIN SHOWS AND EVENTS THAT I FELT SHOULD ONLY HOST “ONE GENRE” I DIDNT FLIP OUT ABOUT IT.
loved it! and I’m not even a jay fan, give the man his props he’s spreading hiphop cross the country keepin it alive.

@sxyQblondie
This has nothing to do with race for me.
It’s about music and the product being offered, and how he forced himself on us fans who wanted to attend the concert. It was like – well, you can see the other bands, but Jay-Z will take up some of the time of the concert too.
Umnmm, Obvious you didn’t go!LOL Because there are many stages and multiple concerts were going on at the same time!LOL He was on the main stage! The biggest stage to cater to the 150,000 screaming fans who wanted to see him!
Jay Z can perform anywhere he wants cause he is the man!! People of all races respect and love Jay Z’s music because he has earned that respect. Come on ya’ll, like Lisa Lisa said, it has nothing to do with race, if there was not a demand for him to perform in Glastonbury, he would not have been there, it has to do with artistry, talent, and music.
@ Dan-ny boy… Go talk that crap on a rock wesite because it isnt sticking here. Its like me going on a majority white webisite, with majority young white kids who listen to alternative/ rock music and saying sh*t about Green Day. You know most of all the people here are going to defend Jay and you stated your opinion which you’re entitled to but now its like time to realize that….WE DONT AGREE!! I understand what you said about Summer Jam but the difference is alternative rock hasnt infatrated the main stream like hip hop has soo.. deal with it. Whomever booked Jay Z was a genius because alot of people attended. Hot 97 can TRY and book Sheryl Crow if they want to for a Summer Jam and everyone will be gone. Sorry it is what it is…
Ok…Hov just ruined that song…he should stick to rapping (Funny nonetheless).
Beyonce looks white! lol
Amy Crackhouse needs Jesus!!!!!!!
@Vinandi
Yes I have gone many UK sites and he’s the to story because it was a success. When I watched the video the crowd loves him and gets more and more into the show as it went on.
@Shamzy
He didn’t sing well but he got his point across.
@Vinandi
Your comment sound a little racist.
@Sharie
He was making fun of the lead singer of Oasis that’s why he started the show like that. Not because of the other Carter.
Jay did the damn thing. He knew what songs to do and how to get the attention of the audience. I’m not a huge fan, but I will give it up to him.
Nice to see Bey support her husband.

by the way – how are my comments hateful. Just because I’m not Praising him.
there’s a difference between critical comments vs. Hating.

@dan
There was NO booing. Stop hating. And you do know there are multiply stages so if a person doesn’t like him go to another stage and leave him with a empty field. But instead he had a field of cheering fans.

Now M. Bleek is one loyal cat. I give him props for staying out of trouble to continue eating and traveling all over the world w/ jay. Wish beanie could do the same
I’m a serious Amy Winehouse-y’all not helping uch by calling the girl crackhouse all the damn time– but that clip is seriously disturbing. why the hell is she being invited anywhere when there’s evidence of her singing like that? i have to say tho, only a white girl w/ drug issues could get away w/ this type of madness. She sounded horrendous and her management should be fired immediately!
I’m good.. getting ready for this weekend..my man is coming up from Atlanta! So yeah… I see its crazy around here as usual. lol

GAY-z and *****yonce’!!!
I can understand why a lot of glastonbury fans were upset but a lot of them went about their dislike in such a babyish way. They don’t OWN glastonbury and instead of attacking the people who asked Jay z to perform they turn it into a personal attack on jay z thats what *****ed me off. It’s typical behavior of a few people who like that kind of music where they become possesive and s*****ish with their music. I could easily have gone if kings of leon were headlining because I like their music but its annoying that some people think there is some sort of heirachy when it comes to music.
@ Dan
Jigga is hype.
Noel can try to punch Jigga out. But I’mma come punch YOU out.
Jay-Z had no business there. It doesn’t matter whether or not rock music was created by African-Americans or not (an irrelevant point, considering the argument), Jay-Z is not rock music.
He made a fool of himself and was quite obviously uncomfortable singing (which is why he continued laughing throughtout the performance). And what the ***** was the deal with him pretending to actually be PLAYING the guitar in the beginning of the clip? Simply put, he made a complete ***** of himself.
There are many examples of the two genres of music having influenced one another but, as many have already posted, that would be like “My Chemical Romance” headlining SummerJams…insulting to true hip-hop heads. A lot of the opposition from within the rock community regarding something like this occurring stems from how artistically stunted/non-creative the majority of hip-hop artists (Jay-Z included) are. The true “artists” who are out there performing in hip-hop are definitely in the minority. I’d actually say that, at this point the most creative people on the music side of hip-hop culture tend to actually be the producers (and of course dj’s) because there is no artistry, inventiveness, or creativity involved with the *****e most of these so-called “artists” continue to bombard us with. It has become pop music with R-rated lyrics.
^^^The over 150,000 Jay-Z fans would say you are wrong! Jay is an international star that attracts audiences of all races!

You theory is flawed because folks attending Summer Jam probably wouldn’t buy tickets to see Romance perform. Once Jay-Z was announced to headline Glastonbury they sold over 100,000 tickets in the first week. It’s called supply and demand.
@ Tisha
What is your point? (Because apparently the point that I was trying to make went completely over your head.)
If that woman is Beyonce, then she’s definitely pregnant. Face all big, pale, and swollen looking.
LOL @ awueenwaits.

LOL @ awueenwaits.

WOULD YALL SHUT THE ***** UP!!!!!!!
THEY *****IN ASKED JAY-Z 2 PERFORM THERE!
YES, THOSE WHITE PEOPLE ASKED THAT BLACK MAN 2 PERFORM AT THAT “WHITE ROCK CONCERT”
GET THE ***** OVER IT. IT’S DONE AND NEXT YEAR I BET LIL WAYNE OR WHAT EVER HOT RAPPER WILL DO THE SAME THING.
WHAT THE ***** CAN U DO?
NOT A GOT DAMN THING, SO SUCK IT UP AND WATCH US BLACK FOCKS TAKE OVER!
AND THAT IS BEYONCE. Y YALL ALWAYS GOT 2 HATE ON THE *****? DAMN YALL ALWAYS ON HER *****, TALKIN BOUT HOW SHE FAT OR SOMETHIN. DAMN DO YALL WANT 2 BE HER?
I THINK YALL DO.
JAY-Z AND BEYONCE R *****TIN ON ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE OUT HERE, MEANING EVERYBODY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
BLACK LOVE 2 THE FULLEST AND YALL CANT DO ***** ABOUT IT BUT COMMENT ON MESSAGE BOARDS AND GOSSIP SITE.
YALL CRACK ME UP.
BUT BEYONCE DO LOOK FUNNY IN THAT PIC AND WAS JUMPIN UP AND DOWN AT THAT CONCERT LIKE A FOOL.LOL
@Tisha
I hope you didn’t put a lot of thought into what you wrote. You do know that Jay-Z was asked to perform there and it was the owner’s daughters idea because she wanted to bring a younger crowd because it was get to old.
He was laughing because he was making fun of the lead singer from Oasis and at the same time saying I like your music, and also saying f*ck you by making the next song “I got 99 problems but a b*tch ain’t onej” but I guess that went over your head.
Although I take Jay’s side in the whole argument-his performance was kind of a let-down. Or the parts of it I saw anyway…
@DAN
SINCE WHEN DOES HOW MANY COPIES YOU SELL DEFINE YOU AS AN ARTIST???
JAY KEEP DOING YOUR THING PA, AND LET THE HATERS HATE. O YEAH AND REMEMBER I’LL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK, ALONG WITH THE OTHER “TRUE” JAY-Z FANS.
-LOVE YOU ALWAYS ~{YOUR BIGGEST FAN}~
O YEAH AND THANK YOU CHEF FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH.
@JAY-Z #1 FAN
CO-SIGN 100 PERCENT! IM AT THE CRIB LISTENING TO MY MAN NOW.
Bey looks hella different….did she have some work done??????
Jigga is the man ! Dude crosses all kinds of boundary`s ! It don`t matter how much hate yawl throw at him he turns it too luv 4 u !
He is busy with his online dating thing, His profile was seen at dating site ” RICHLOVING.COM” yesterday, where the successful and affluent singles and hot girls and models to hook up for Hot Love, Flirt and Sexy Dating! A rumor goes that he is dating a young single woman on that site.
Now that I look at the pic again, Bey doesn’t even look like herself, she looks like a Beyonce “decoy” or something…weird.
if it were EMINEM A WHITE HERO…there wouldnt have been any problems…trust me.
jay-z didnt attract those people though..they were gonna come any way..hes not that big.
Love it! Jay-Z did his thing and showed the whole world what Hip Hop is about! The event went down in history! It was the biggest concert in Glastonbury’s history! Jay-Z is indeed one of the Hip Hop greats!
forget it..jay is the next level for hip hop..no 1 before him..no 1 even close behind him
mad props jay…apparently he was well received. Anyone who claims otherwis is part of the “hating” crew. What seemed like an omage to oasis was actually him taking a shot at them. They were crying about him being on the tour, and he imitated their style of performance…as you can see he slurred the words and didn’t sing directly into the mic on purpose, poking fun at them in an underhanded way. I think that was funny. He made them look stupid for talking about him.
And another thing…bossip, y’all need to stop with the “Camel” comments. That really sounds racially motivated, especially since your writers who coined that term are white. If given the chance, y’all would probably wipe his ***** for some of his spare change (millions)…with your tongue. (after toilet)
@whatitis
You’ve got to watch the whole thing he even did a freestyle using Britsh slang.
Jay-z should have declined playing at a white man concert. I know he tryin to spread the hip hop message but c’mon now this is white people who went to listen to white people. We all know if one them head bangin rock bands opened at a hip hop festival no police would be able to stop the amount of bottles , chairs and rocks hitting that stage.
And to the white people on bossip talking about Oasis outselling Jay-z. Who gives a *****.Is Oasis worth close to a billion? Oasis did not get my money. Another thing,white boy talkin about Noel punching Jigga out?? White boy , Noel won’t have time to lift his ***** *****in hand on Jigga when he gets his pale azz stomped all the way back to the UK. You think you back in the colonial days? its 2008 baby. we takin you and your whole cracka family down.
hell naw!
that aint beyonce!!
thats a look a like
that girl got on shades…i dont think bey would have on shades (not saying she doesnt wear them)
She is really hot,i know we men have lots of standards to pick up a woman,but we all find the right girl in our demands on a tall dating club:___T a l l m i n g l e . c o m__ my bros told me this; it worked for them, it worked for me; and i’m sure it’s gonna work for u, buddy!!
Needless to say, she has good looking!! lots pretty chicks like her should be very famous on the tall dating site:
___T a l l m i n g l e . c o m___. Maybe she can join to attend the sexy things session to attract tall guys!! at least, that’s what my bros and i happen to know!!
Hip Hop is NOT music. Never has been, never will. Just a bunch of *****s with stupid rhymes! F*cking moron bull*****!
Black folks love to keep ***** up there is nothing wrong with JayZ. What ever he does he is good at it. Some of you damn experts on here needs to shut the hell up. JayZ had damn near a whole city screaming and singing but that still wasnt enough for some of you.Well thats okay because JayZ went to the BANK this morning while yall was typing and talking about him…..
Hey….. Hole up!
With the price of gas! If someone asked me to perform at a rock concert I would take it in a heart beat!
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
I’m just sayin….
And another thing….!
Then promoter talkin about he lost $10 million in ticket sales because of Jay! That his dumb ***** fault for not knowing how to promote.
I hope he lose $100 million on his next concert.
LMAO
I’m Just Sayin…
@Hip Hop Sucks
Isn’t it funny when someone who can’t do something always says it sucks. You will always be on the outside lookin in!
LAMO
Did bey get “work” done on her face, she looks different…
Jay’s performance was his usual FanFab, nothing new there
Jay did have the CROWD SCREAMING for more
ya’ll are just hating, jayz is keepin hiphop alive..point blank.
i need to hear the audio for that amerian boy remix with jay z. bossip can you please make that happen? other sites have the video but i can’t see them at work. please put that audio up!
She is sexy.I have searched her photo on ” casualseek.com ” which is a casual encounter dating site. It is said that she is seeking one night relationship . Is it true?
Jay-Z was in over his head. I think he’s a great Hip-Hop artist but he does not belong on stage that is known only for Rock/Alternative Acts. I love Oasis and he ruined a great rock anthem. In case people thinking it is ok for a Hip Hop artist to headline a Rock Festival. Think of it this way. Would the Hip-Hop community feel it ok for a Heavy Metal band opening the BET Awards… Just a thought to ponder on.
BOSSIP GOES TOO FAR!!! DEMAND THE REMOVAL OF CERTIFIED LINKS!!!
I am a reader and not a usual blogger, but I cannot believe that no one has commented on the fact that BOSSIP had the site “DRUNKEN STEPFATHER” as one of it “CERTFIED LINKS”! Brothers and sisters WAKE-UP and boycott or at least email them for an explanation!!! DRUNKEN STEPFATHER is one of the most crude, racist, misogynistic blogs I have ever visited!!! They have degrading and derogatory comments on every sister they have EVER profiled. Rise up and call for change. If BOSSIP supports them should we be supporting BOSSIP??? Check out what they have said about the like of Naomi Campbell, Eve, and even our soon to be First Lady! If this doesn’t prove that Bossip is a white owned and self deprecating site nothing will!!!! PLEASE take the time to visit this blog! You will be much wiser about who is writing this one!
@ CHEF AND WHO EVER
IT AINT GOT NOTHING 2 DO WITH RACE. ITS BECAUSE HE DOESN’T MAKE ROCK/INDIE MUSIC. AND THATS WHAT GLASTONBURY IS ABOUT.
IF HE DIDNT HEADLINE *****ODY WOULD HAVE GIVEN A *****
PROBABLY YOU HAVE TO BE FROM THE UK TO UNDERSTAND
Black People invented Rock music. Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix or Bo Diddley anyone? Learn your history People!
I hate hate hate when people get on that will you invite X Y and Z to summer jam. For those of you who dont know which is clearly anyone who went there with that argument the festival started as a celebration of popular genres of music in the UK, It included all sorts of rock acts, as well as pop acts. The UKs biggest selling genre of music for the longest time was rock which is why obviously the headliner would be a rock artist, However times have changed, hiphop is pulling in those numbers that rock used to pull in and since this generation is more receptive to accepting it as the artform it is, it was the logical progression to make, I dont know how hard it is for people to get that, sheesh
Besides Dan, from your Josh Groban or Michael Buble example, seems you’re implying that hip-hop fans (or possibly Black people?) can’t be diverse in their musical taste. Hmmm….
Talent is talent dammit! I’ll tell you right now, I love Jay-Z, but I also rock out to Chemical Romance (and so do others that like hip-hop), had a short lived crush on Adam Levine, and adore both Michael Buble and Josh Groban. AR Rahman is a musical genius, Freddie Mercury from Queen(BTW was Indian by birth and nationality) could sing his ***** off and Joshi is wonderfully talented group that did remixes for Nelly Furtado. Freemasons did a HOT remix of Beyonce’s Greenlight. Lots of young hip-hop/ Black teenage girls love Avril; “Girlfriend” was on-point like Salt-n-Pepa’s “I’ll Take Your Man”. Lmao….
Kylie Minogue, Armin van Buren, Mafifki Zolo, Milk and Sugar Allstars, and 7th District stay in rotation along with Rick Ross, DJ Khalid and Common. And so on… If a promoter could feasibly combine all my fav artists into one concert, I’d love it!
Dan, please step your music game, your comments make you look like someone with issues to “sort out”, a real *****er. Relax, broaden your horizon, and if you hate hip-hop that’s okay. Just quit your grousing! But remember hip-hop came from the SAME Black musical traditions as rock!

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE $LOWLY FINDING OUT HOW EA$Y IT I$ FOR MIDDLE CLA$$ AND WORKING POOR AMERICAN$ TO FALL VICTIM TO OUR U$ MONETARY JUDICIAL $Y$TEM.
****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY ****
The prison experts have reported that there are 100,000 innocent Americans currently being falsely imprisoned along with the 2,300,000 total US prison population nationwide.
Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials.
This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals.
This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!!
Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the *****istance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice!
For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Cl***** and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system.
It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.
This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World!
