The REAL lovers of the Glastonbury festival won't be turned off by this one bit. They know that there will be so much more going on that they can simply go and enjoy something else when Jay-Z is on. Or, like me, if you're interested in seeing him perform, you can. This isn't your Snoop Dog one-trick gangster rubbish we're talking about here. Jay-Z has hooooge tunes, big strings, bass, and presence. Hard Knock Life will be awesome live. Reading had 50 Cent on a few years ago and everyone picked at it. Maybe this is what Glastonbury needs to get back to its fundamentals again. But this is diversity. Jigga is the biggest name in his genre. A bigger name than both KOL or The Verve. This should be welcomed. Also, if this is what it takes to get rid of the middle class Hooray Henrys that have suffocated the festival recently - those a little bit scared of getting mud on their nice Larua Ashley picnic rug - then so be it.
