How has the news gone down with music fans across the world?

The objections to this have the faint whiff of prejudice and I'm not talking simply the Rock vs. Rap fight. When 57th Dynasty or any other of the smaller groups played Glasto back in the day on the smaller stages no one much cared. But a festival about music and individuality headlines fresh white trainers instead of dirty skinny jeans and all of a sudden it's an outrage. Regardless of you personal taste, or distaste for Jigga and mainstream Hip Hop you need that he IS a talented artist with a justified fan base. I never liked fucking Texas or Pete Tong until I saw the mainstage and loved them both. Half the reason you go to these festivals is to see and learn something new. Stop hating on Hov.
