Jay-Z has rapped about Oasis' Noel Gallagher live on stage - dissing the guitarist and mocking his hit, 'Wonderwall'.

The rapper delivered the lines during a show at New York's Madison Square Garden last night (August 6).

During the show Jay-Z rapped: "That bloke from Oasis said I couldn't play guitar/Somebody should have told him I'm a fuckin' rock star".

He then reprised a line from Oasis' 1995 hit 'Wonderwall', rapping, "Today is gonna be the day that I'm gonna throw it back to you".

You can watch Jay-Z's Gallager-baiting rap by clicking on the video below.

A public spat has blown up between the pair since Noel Gallagher said Jay-Z was \"wrong\" for Glastonbury earlier this year. Jay-Z then opened his headline slot on June 28 this year with a cover of 'Wonderwall'.

However speaking in this week's issue of NME, out now, Gallagher played down any feud.

"I wasn't saying I was better than Jay-Z as a person or rock was greater than hip-hop," he said in his best John Lennon impression, referencing The Beatles' "bigger than God incident". "I said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong, and now all this [media furore]."

Gallagher also claimed that Jay-Z liked 'Wonderwall', despite his mock version, and claimed 'Wonderwall' is always the last song of the night at the star's restaurant in New York. Gallagher added: "I'll have a beer with him one day and it will be fine."

No Jay-Z, you are not a "fuckin' rock star", you are in fact a talentless knob who only wishes he could be as good as MC Hammer.

Genius! And I'm a huge Oasis fan. Gotta love a proper feud!

Jay Z was fantastic at Glasto. Not sure there's any need to carry on the 'feud' any longer though.

If it wasn't for Noel glasto would have been just ok. Noel and Jay Z spart made it more interesting, BIG UP THE HYPE now jay get off the subject and go back to making music.

Jay-Z is a progressive Rap Star and is always changing and collaborating with new people. Oasis are Arrogant tossas who have done nothing good since their 1st 2 albums and have never progressed. They think they are the new Beatles and act like timmy ten men. I would love that Jay-z is making him eat his words through a straw. Gallaghers are History! plus the fans all look the same and call people that wanna look different "scenesters" or "pretentious fags".I'd rather be that, than wear your mediocre adidas tracky,stan smiths and cheap Â£2.50 paul weller haircut

Jay Z is a cock. Noel just gave an opinion. It was an opinion shared by many and just so happened that Noel was the most famous person to voice it. Jay Z should give it a rest or Liam will be by to pop a cap in his ass!

samuelcampbell1986

Embarassing. Jay Z should never have played Glastonbury, his set was pathetic, the loudest sing song all night was when he tried to ridicule Oasis. Noel Gallagher is a truly talented musician and lyricist, not someone who only wishes to talk of his money, girls and drugs. Terrible artist.

gd1984

Aug 7, 2008

funny that Jay-Z actually thinks he could play guitar. anyone that saw the Glasto performance can see that he's barely strumming the guitar, while someone else in the background plays the chords, and Jay-Z still gets the words completely wrong.Jay-Z used to be a great artist, but now he's basically a joke like 50 Cent and Kanye West.

shakermaker88

Aug 7, 2008

He sounds like he's gargling Noel's balls when he tries to sing that, nah you arent a rock star Jay Z, you are a business man,. he understands how to sell records and we can probably expect another 10 years of him dragging this up every time he brings out another hopeless album over here.

"I said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong, and now all this [media furore]."This is an exact quote of John Lennon, as he defended himself for saying to Maureen Cleave that The Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

Elliott_Decihells your clearly the type of person that has never listend to any of the oasis albums, tell me how Be Here Now is similar to the first 2 albums ?Jay-Z Rock Star ? he's a bout as Rock N Roll as McFly the stupid arogant cunt

somepoorsoul

Aug 7, 2008

You all know what he did here right?Lennon: "I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this."

clockworkfart

Aug 7, 2008

if you even had ears or listened to his music, you would understand that he isnt a talentless knob, his lyrics are awesome, and to fit so many into a song is incredible.He's the most successful hip hop artist of all time, and is still at his best, which you absolutley cant say aabout oasis, their ship sailed ages ago.

Gerwin- Read " I said Rap Star" and I gave up on Oasis a long time ago as have many people that are not stuck in the 90's. Oasis are stuck on a shelf with Verve,Ian Brown and Happy Mondays. They should either go in new direction or disappear. I have been unlucky enough to have seen oasis and verve. To say the least it was boring, same old cocky crap and now bite. There is so many new/Fresh bands and even bands that have been around years go different directions but not oasis they churn out the same old crap every time, and your the unlucky sods, who worship them!

What a twat. Jay-Z is such a child. He was completely horse shit at Glastonbury. I've never heard such garbage music in all my life. It was terrible. I feel sorry for the people who actually had to stand through it and listen to him shout down his microphone. Noel Gallagher is a brilliant musician who has earned respect. And how can you mock Wonderwall? It's a fucking classic.

ease up jay-z!you've made your point more than once. we heard it, but stop repeating yourself.these things stop being funny you know.

Aug 8, 2008

Elliott_Decihells - in my rockstar comment i was refering to what Jayzed said in the song.And yeah oasis are Stuck on shelf wiht King Monkey and The Verve and that shelf is up many miles higher than most of the shit filling the charts.Us unlucky your the unlucky one who can't seem to see that they are better than most bands today. Go and listen to there albums as fresh albums and dont' compare them to DM or WTSMG.You arogant fuckwit

mbowie9

Aug 8, 2008

ha ha ha ha what a tit - seen Jay Z at glasto and seen Oasis numerous times an the gulf in talent is immense-compared to the Best British Band since The Beatles and someone who shouts and sings half a song on stage- Noel will be loving this! fantastic!!! Rap- shite- bring back Fresh Prince n Jazzy Jeff!!!

how can he be a rock-star if he doesn't even play rock??

Gerbalism

Aug 8, 2008

Well said Elliott! They need to move forward or fuck off, just like most of their fans! Noel is totally licking jay-z's ass in this weeks NME, makes quite a humorous read!

bcwelsh76

Aug 8, 2008

I also noticed that Noel's comments were practically a word for word copy of John Lennon's apology for saying the beatles were bigger than Jesus. Is Noel so obsessed with the Beatles that he is now resorting to copying their statements as well as their music? Is Noel that bereft of original ideas?! The ironic truth is the one thing Jay-z and Oasis have in common is that they have both made their careers from copying other artists.

Jonny_Will

Aug 8, 2008

blah, blah, blah. Jay Z wasn't "Fantastic at Glasto". In a couple of years his headline slot will be completely forgotten about, and i'd be surprised if he ever headlined it again. Whereas Oasis will headline Glastonbury again and again, as much as people say Oasis haven't written a good album since "What's The Story...." They continue to have at least 3 good songs on every album, and "Don't Believe The Truth" was something of a return to form, and I am more than looking forward to Dig Out Your Soul. So Oasis have a massive back catalogue of hugely popular songs, and so will always be worshipped! Noel has put a line under the whole fued, Jay Z just needs to grow up.........and shut up!

Browny83

remember this bloke is nearly 40 and he's banging on about the same thing he was ten years ago its just sad that a middle aged man is prancing about in a baseball cap and baggy jeans at 40 still saying nothing relevant smart money says he'll still be going it when he's 50! Look at Noel Gallagher two words progressive genius!

i do think jay z should just leave it now. not that much big news

Mr.Monobrow

Aug 8, 2008

Elliott_Decihells, you have got to be fucking well kidding me. Do you actually listen to proper music or are you quite happy to idly listen to a bunch of pre pubescent public school, spotty nosed herbert's who dance around to casio keyboard demos. Oasis churn the same shit out. Okay, you take an E, A, D and G chord progression and make something original being as you so look like a musical genius. You're full of crap, and as for the Â£2.50 Paul Weller haircut, grow the fuck up. Weller has stood the test of time for 30 years now and no one cares about his haircuts or anything like that, it's all about the music, unless your a pretentious art student wanker who buys into all the corporate bullshit that the independent among us wish to believe. What you follow is that of sheep, independent is long gone from the music scene. And then you say Ian Brown doesn't vary his style, listen to Golden Greats and then The World is Yours, you will find both albums to be very different in style, therefore proving that point wrong.

You can't take a cheap shot at Oasis- yes they might not have done anything new as of late, but they've got an amazing back catalogue of songs that soundtracked peoples lives in the nineties. That may be the past but the lives that Jay-Z soundtracks are probably those of teenage single mums. Compare the effect that Oasis' albums had, and the number of people that bought their records and went to their gigs to bands today- there is no comparison. Im not a massive Oasis fan but at least I can appreciate what they've done for English music. And Elliot-Decihells, to say music nowadays is 'fresh' is wrong, pretty much every new band out at the moment is just a boring recycling of something old. Just wait for the next big shift in music, the next new genre that will come along and change everything, we are due a change, its been a long time since 1976.

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED! Paul Weller has excellent hair: anyone who pays more than two pounds fifty for a haircut should review their economic decision making and throw their TV set out of the window, thus avoiding a one hundred and ten pound licensing fee! There's a credit crunch on don't you know? I worry about people who wear sunglasses when the sun isn't glowing: I can tolerate arrogance from Oasis as they re-ignited rock'n'roll after the suffocating eighties vacuum and taught a generation of kids how to play guitar using for chords. I fear Jay-Z's 15 minutes will fade without a legacy...

Jay Z career depends on feuds.It sells records.The both of them will be hugging and kissing soon and collaborating on a new single.Just like his fued with Nas.

Aug 8, 2008

Come on people it happens every time there is an imminent Oasis album release, whether its Blur, Robbie, Starsailor etc etc etc its called hype just rouse media interest and boost sales.Elliot Decihells, who the fuck are you to slag the nineties off, certainly better than the shite that is churned out today, the feeling, kooks, hoosiers, etc if they are fresh new bands then you are welcome to them mate. For the record, 'I dont do 'mediocre adidas tracky,stan smiths and cheap Ã‚Â£2.50 paul weller haircut' but still think that alot of the music that was born in the nineties pisses all over 95% of the shite thats churned out today.

Aug 8, 2008

People really need to get over Oasis it's not 1994 anymore, there are lots of new bands around who are ten times better than Oasis ever were, their set at Glasto in 2004 was diabolical and I think anyone who saw it ,who doesn't wish to one day sick their head up Liam or Noel's arse, could see that. Find a new band to glorify, one thats going to actually release some good music and not just sit round like some old men trying to be like their heroes and sitting criticising other musicians for doing something different. Leave the 90's behind, it was good, but its over.

Jess_a

Aug 8, 2008

Wonderwall is not a classic its a sorry excuse for a song, the lyrics melody and everything about it is simple and drab. It's only there so all the people stuck in the 90's can get drunk and smash about singing it at the end of the night! Oasis have got far better songs with much more to them, get some substance!

NicholaCarr

JayZ rocks. I hate it when one type of music is pitted against another. There is plenty of room for all of it, well except emo. I gave up on Oasis musically halfway through What's The Story.. they will NEVER better Definitely Maybe. JayZ may make some stinkers but at least he produces enough to make up for it. An as for those saying Jay can't sing. What about Noel? Hardly f***ing Charlotte Church! I love Oasis now as an entity and when Noel was reported as saying his original comments were taken out of context, i thought, you cannot take him out of context! His contexts are always pretty clear.

Mr.Monobrow

Aug 8, 2008

Jess_a, you made me lol. Name a band who will have a lasting legacy 14 years after their debut album has been released from one of the so called better bands of today! Odds are you can't because no band has longevity anymore, the Arctic Monkeys are nothing more than a flash in the pan band. The Kaisers are just as bad, hell any band who surface now don't have much of a chance to survive 14 years after their debut album. And as for Wonderwall being crap you have to be kidding me! What songs have made the songwriter a millionaire four times in one week? What song STILL gets a crowd singing along 13 years after it was released. I could go on but I'm not going to.

Isn't it the case that rappers need beef to 'keep it real'? I mean Noel can be a bit of a knob but it seems so is Jay-Z. The main difference between them is that Noel's written some great stuff while Jay's a shrewd businessman, first and foremost.

fju2112

Aug 8, 2008

all this lively debate tells me a couple of things:1. Oasis is still relevant, and that is certainly true of all those spouting off about how they are NOT relevant. How can there be this much debate over a band that doesn't matter anymore? They have been huge for 14 years; whether you like them or not, they're here to stay. (And to all the haters: just because newer and more hip bands have come along since 1997 or so, doesn't mean Oasis is any less good than they were in the 90s. All that means is the music industry is forcing what they want to be the next big thing down your throats, though of course some great new bands have come along in that time. At least Oasis are finally out of Sony's clutches and on their own label, where they belong.)2. Noel must be pretty confident of the new record, though who knows what that means. I say this because the last time I recall Noel having a go at a rapper was 1997 when, in the US at least, there was expected to be a big chart war between Be Here Now & Puff Daddy & The Family. Of course we know who won out that week of August 26th, 1997 in the States. Noel was talking about how he'd like to smack Puff Daddy if he saw him in the street, but he was on loads of "charlie", as he likes to call it, back then.I'm more interested in Noel's thoughts on the Verve reforming and Ashcroft's subsequent comments before Forth is even released, that he fully intends to do more solo material in the future. Oasis are huge fans of the Verve and they haven't said anything about it, they must have been asked by now by someone?

Aug 8, 2008

Don't get me wrong, I love Oasis. But it's about time someone put them in their place 'cause the Gallaghers get too cocky for their own good sometimes.I find Jay Z's reaction to it all really amusing to be honest.

rubbersoul7

Aug 8, 2008

bcwelsh76, you do realise that Noel's 'Lennon' quote was done on purpose don't you? Noel often jokes around and takes the piss during interviews and this is another classic example. I agree with jonny_will's Oasis comment. They always have at least 3 top tracks on every album, and seen to be improving slowly from the slump they suffered with Heather chemistry and Dont Believe The Truth. And as for those who are saying they haven't done a good album since Morning Glory.. What a load of rubbish. Be Here Now is absolutely brilliant. People are quick to jump on the bandwagon and critercise it for no good reason. There literally isn't a bad song on the album. Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants is a fine album too, very underrated.

dougieplasticmanc

Aug 8, 2008

oasis are an amazing band. just because people like myself still have time for them it doesnt mean we're "stuck in the 90's" thats the beauty of great music, you can listen to an album 15 years on and still love it. dont believe the truth is a very good album. OK its not as good as dm or wtsmg but still pretty awsome and pisses on kaiser chiefs, the wombats, frat etc.....and those other average indie bands that make me cringe.it just had a more lo-fi approach to it. jay z should just chill out now. his writing abilities are poor next to noel's. He's not making them eat their words whatsoever. [to whatever spotty prick wrote that above] And as for him being a rock star, thats too funny.....he's a rap twatand just for the record i dont wear stan smiths....although i still like adidas

StopUsing

Aug 8, 2008

He's acting like a child...yeah, he may be one of Noel's famous insults, but mocking one of his songs in reaction...oh dear.And Oasis stuck in the 90's? Not really. Managed to live out Britpop and are still making great records - it's the legacy of Oasis that makes them popular I suppose.

Jess_a

Aug 8, 2008

Well, "Mr.Monobrow" glad I gave you a laugh! As for the bands you've mentioned I'd never say they were going to have a legacy of 15 years because their music doesn't particularity excite me at all, all i'm saying is there are so many bands better than Oasis and what Noel has to say isn't the be all and end all. Just because a band is popular with the masses doesn't make them better than a band with not much success in fact I could name a few bands with a thousand times the talent of Oasis still playing pubs in local towns, and just because a song made someone a lot of money doesn't mean it's good, Mr Blobby got to Christmas number one as did bob the builder! Broaden your horizons, step away from the bucket hat and sunglasses, stop talking like your from Manchester when your not and try something new. Noel's word is not law, he can be a complete idiot at times as can most people. Each to their own and all that, just don't try beat people down just because they don't see things the same way as you do!

it wouldn't surprise me if jay Z and Noel gallagher planned this whole thing so that Jay Z got loads of hype for his performance at glastonbury and Noel gallagher got more money from Jay Z playing wonderwall

SonnyBlack

Aug 8, 2008

Bottom line is Jay-Z is a legend, Noel is a bigger legend, it's all a bit funny. No one's got hurt, they all got some more cash out of it and I can't imagine either of them are losing any sleep over it. Everyone relax.

I don't buy all this talk about Oasis shit since 96 or whatever, Don't Believe The Truth is my favourite Oasis album, but it's so hard to pick all 7 (including The Masterplan) are pure pure pure CLASS.

rubbersoul7

Aug 11, 2008

Jess-a, you and Mr.Monobrow both make good points. I am from Manchester as it happens but I agree that there are loads of undiscovered bands out there that have tonnes more talent than Oasis, the sad thing is that most of them will never be found. In Oasis's defence though I agree with Mr.Monobrow, they must be doing something right to last as long as they have. To critercise their talent would be ridiculous. Very very few brand new bands these days will be able to do the same.

Aug 11, 2008

Jay-Z lad, you havn't got a pot to piss in, Hip-hop as a genre is dog shit, Jay-Z as a man and a musician is dog shit, and Oasis are one of the greatest bands in history, so Dig Out Your Soul Jay-Z and retire.

this has been blown way out of proportion, he doesn't diss him or diss his song, its just a rap about the glasto shit. when noel gallagher said "i hope those two get aids and die" about albarn and james, now that was a dissjay z and albarn are 10x better than gallagher

Jay-Z, your no "Rock 'n' Roll Star" your used to bitching about other wrapstars I'd like to see you play a guitar like Noel! Jess_a..How the hell can you say Wonderwall is not a classic song? Read Noel's interview in this week's NME and you'll see that Jay-Z is making a complete arse of himself by carrying on this pointless feud with Noel. Love Rock Hate Rap[I'm Here All Week]Jamox

listen jay z mate, you are the rubbishest singer/rapper i think to ever make it big. How dare he compare himself to Noel Gallagher and Oasis!!!!!! and to think he thought he had done good at glastonbury..... coz if u ask me his performace was shocking! do one jay z lad, no one likes you.

HovatheGodMC

Aug 11, 2008

you guys are all clowns and do you not realize that oasis isnt even in the same league as Jay?!?!?! Seriously the man is tied with Elbis for the most #1 hits in music history!! are you serious?? get your facts together before speaking guys its embarrasing honestly Jay-z is worth just over 400 million dollars he is a multi million dollar conglomerate, Bono said himslef Glastonbury was one of the best performances he's seen in years, people compared it to groundbreaking like Bob Dylan when he played Newport which I dont expect you idiots to realize the significance of....but seriously?!?!? So before you go disrespecting a musical legend and talent that have had the pleasure of hearing in your generation do your homework otherwise you sound like ignorant Brits and i was born over there too(in manchester) and am embarrassed to admit it with the likes of you guys running around

neelthakerar

Aug 11, 2008

theres a couple of things that id like to clarify, jay-z is not a rock star, he should stick to his rapping, hes a bloody cliche, everyone rants and raves about his humble beginings, how he made it from the street, oasis did exactly the same, they came from a working class mancunian family, however, they still appeal to the working class, its part of their zeal, jay-z on the other hand, "sings" about his 'bitches' and all the cash that he likes to spend, im pretty sure ordinary people arent that interested in those sort of things, we like to listen to more down to earth music, and in my opinion, oasis come out trumps in this round. and to say that they havent written anything good since morning glory, heck no. be here now, was great, not as good as dm or wtsmg, but still a great record, heathen chemistry, 'stop crying your heart out', 'the hindu times', enough said, standing on the shoulder of giants was good as well, go let it out was a great tune, and dont beleive the truth is also amazing, it was different, lyla and the importance of being idle, arent exactly traditional oasis tracks but theyre still effin epic. and let there be love proved that oasis are back on form. and dig out your soul is going to kick ass. and jess_a, im sorry but wonderwall ... crap, i dont think so, i completely agree with mr. monobrow, the fact that wonderwall still captivates a crowd after 13 years, is a milestone achievement, i was on holiday in kos in july and i went to a club where they were playing rap and hip hop, and randomly the dj says, 'this music is shit', and the first song that he puts on is wonderwall, basically everyone in the club was singing along to it, even though the majority of the party-goers were hip hop listeners.basically, lets all be serious here, noel gallagher is one of the greatest songwriters of our time, not exactly one of the best musicians, but the amount of classics that man has written cant be compared to anyone (yes... even jay-z) and liam's voice is definitely one of the best in rock and roll history (both create a potent combo) so what if noel uses the same chord progressions most of the time, he still writes some immense stuff, its bloody hard to write immense songs with the same chord progressions. i dont care if you like them or not, their music is here to stay until the end of timeLIVE FUC*ING FOREVER

I find this absolutely amazing. This whole debate is STILL going on, how brilliant is that? On the one hand its good to know that the British public care about music enough to fight so doggedly over it. On the other its depressing to see how many people have taken Mr Gallagher's side. His comments prior to Glasto were ill-founded and un-appreciated. Does anyone actually think what he said was deserved?I saw Jay Z (or Jayzed as someone on here called them) at Glasto and it was brilliant. If his performance won't be remembered, then why are so many people still talking about it? I can't remember the last time I was the 56th comment on an article...It has also occured to me that the majority of fans who have taken Jay Z's side tend to be much more rational, articulate and respecting in their posts than those who've joined forces with Oasis. Calling someone a "stupid arrogant cunt" is fine if you literally don't have the brain power to be slightly more creative, but I guess if you're looking upto Noel Gallagher as a hero then it comes as no surprise.One more thing which hasn't been mentioned - Jay Z's faÃ§ade is just a front. It's all part of his act. He's not trying to push his thoughts on you (like a certain someone), but he is capable of stopping you in your tracks with a single line. Not only that, but his creativity levels are through the roof. Read his lyrics, they're unbelievable. I really don't think anyone actually listens to something anymore unless it has Fratellis/The Enemy-esque singalong all the way through it.And Paul Weller's hair really is shit. And Oasis are stuck in the 90's.

lets be honest...oasis release a below average single every year...perhaps a below average album...everyone then licks liam and noels asses for a couple of weeks...then everyone forgets about them, so one of the gallagers make some stupid comment (klaxons, jay z etc..) can we all give it a fucking break...to be honest ive never lked oasis and i think there over rated..and could someone tell noel to stop trying to be lennon...all im trying to say is could oasis please fuck off for a while?
