99 Problems and Noel Gallagher ain't one

When I almost interviewed Dizzee Rascal in April, I was going to ask him about his grumbling over Jay-Z's headlining Glastonbury Festival. He was concerned with his crossover ability - as if he should be talking about that! Anyway, Diz wasn't the only one irritated at Hov headlining the predominantly Rock festival. Noel Gallagher in 100% pure Oasis pissy form, blamed Jay's spot on the bill for the festival's slow ticket sales and as quoted in Spin, "If you break it, people ain't gonna go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? ... No chance, I'm not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. No way. No. It's wrong." Too bad for Noel, he seriously underestimated Mr. Carter's chutzpah, who came out this weekend on the Glasto main stage with an electric guitar and sang over Oasis' Wonderwall before slamming right into 99 Problems. The man understands his audience - he also put his spin on Rehab while rapping in front of a projection of Damien Hirst's famous skull.
