Jay-Z: 'Glastonbury controversy is ridiculous'

Rapper says hip-hop 'should be respected like any other art form'

I really don't get all this controversy. Jay Z is one of the best artists around at the moment. I'm sure that the people making all this fuss have never heard one of his albums. It's just snobbery and elitism, people seem to have it in their heads that rock is the purest of all music. I can't make it to Glastonbury but I look forward to watching it on tv, especially Jay Z. People should just get off their high horses and give the man a chance, they might be pleasantly surprised.
