Jay-Z: 'Glastonbury controversy is ridiculous'

J-Zee stated hip-hop is an art form & is poetry. Well why doesn't J-Zee headline in the Poetry Tent at Glasto instead where he maybe appreciated more? He states hip-hop should be respected. I wonder if he realises that respect is earned & not an automatic given right just cos he sings.(poetry) In an interview with Westwood he says that music should be about all kinds/types, & he tends to listen to all types, then contradicts himself by saying "there's only good and bad music." So what is the bad type of music then J-Zee? Good & Bad music only makes 2x types to me. J-Zee is critical of others who say hip-hop is not for Glastonbury, yet he is saying there is "Bad Music." Why can he state this & others can't? J-Zee's agent also stated that J-Zee is to venture around the festival site prior to his performance, to get a feel of the place but he will not be visiting the Stone Circle as Hippies is not his thing. Well all I can say is, this man is not helping himself by speaking out publicly like this, he's digging himself one big hole. After all the critics are not saying his music (hip-hop) is bad, what they are saying is, it's just not for Glastonbury Festival.
