Lazy saturday posting

With a light rain falling outside, and the season at Stowe about 24 hours from being over, i’ve been flipping channels aggressively this afternoon. I came across a re-broadcast of the Glastonbury Music festival from 2008, and it reminded me of one of the best disses in music history, and quite possibly all time.
When Jay-Z was announced as a headliner to the all-rock festival, Oasis frontman, and half of the volatile sibling duo that makes the band so awesome, Noel Gallagher lashed out on Jay, claiming there was no room for hip-hop at Glastonbury. The following video is Jay opening his set, and lashing back at Gallagher. Prop guitar, way off-key vocals and a huge shit-eating grin. One of Brooklyn’s finest indeed.
