Rapper slams Oasis frontman after Glastonbury row
Sunday, 27 July 2008
Jay-Z has hit back at Noel Gallagher, saying he copies other artists with his music.
The rapper was responding to the Oasis frontman claiming rap didn't belong at Glastonbury.
'He made a blanket statement,' Jay-Z tells Observer Music Monthly. 'He hasn't heard every hip-hop record and I haven't heard every rock record, so I can't make a blanket statement and say rock doesn't belong somewhere.
‘I can say that Noel Gallagher rips off The Beatles. I can say that because I’ve heard his music.’
The 38-year-old hip-hop star adds like he'd like to meet Noel, 41, for a chat about music.
‘I’d like to sit him down, play him some really great poetic music, some incredible, well-produced hip-hop,' he says.
‘Things have to change. Just because something has been a certain way doesn't make it right. To me, music is music.’

The fact that this so called "Hip Hop artist" questions one of the worlds greatest songwriters just shows that this is a question about insecurity. And another funny thing, Jay-Zhit says that Noel is ripping of The Beatles? That's just hilarious since the "Hip Hop scene" is one of the genres that have a tendency to rip and sample everything. Jay-Zhit, do yourself a favor and stop this absurd bad-pr-trip. Come back the day when you actually have created music, maybe then poeple would concider listening to you and your nonsense.
