Hating raping isnt' racism but the idea that rap isn't real music is unbelievably patronising. Jay Z's Blueprint can match the best of Radiohead (the latter band of which I am a HUGE fan). The only issue here is that Rap doesnt necessarily go down well live but as some people have said, glastonbury normally has 10 stages of music so if you dont like it, go see somebody else. I dont think Eavis is nuts enough to put 10 rap acts on at the same time. Last time I went to Glastonbury there wasnt enough people seeing new bands, this should hopefully bring in a new influx and perhaps break the white homogenity of festivals.
