Jay Z had an answer for his toughest critic at the annual Glastonbury Music Festival in Britain Saturday.
The 142,500 fans in attendance cheered as Jigga took the stage with a guitar slung over his shoulder and immediately sang along to "Wonderwall," the 1995 hit single from British band Oasis.
Oasis lead singer, Noel Gallagher, has repeatedly voiced his frustration with Glastonbury organizers for choosing Jay-Z, a hip hop act, to headline a festival that has been traditionally rooted in rock and alternative music.
Judging from fan reaction to Young Hov, and the increased cheers that followed his segue from "Wonder Wall" to his rock-flavored "99 Problems," Gallagher's opinion of hip hop at Glastonbury appeared to be in the minority.
"The world should be all about mixing culture," Jay-Z said to UK radio personality Tim Westwood. "Hip-hop is music in its art form. It should be accepted and respected. It's all the same thing, it's just coming from a different perspective."
