Jay-Z is the man. He's chosen to headline the Glastonbury Fest, which is like the Bonnaroo of Europe, and one of the pricks from Oasis shoots his mouth off about the Brooklyn rapper not being an appropriate fit for the gig. Here's how the class act responded. From Billboard.com:

The choice of the U.S. rapper to perform on the main stage at a festival best known for its guitar-based rock acts was widely criticized, and Oasis' Noel Gallagher riled the musician by saying the organizers were wrong to pick him.

Jay-Z's response was emphatic. He opened his show with a film using Gallagher's now infamous comments and a montage of clips parodying him, before launching into an acoustic rendition of one of Oasis's biggest hits, "Wonderwall." Most fans and critics were impressed.

Here's Jay-Z's killer encore, including a brief, off-key cover of "Wonderwall." How's that for the ultimate "fuck you" to those Gallagher brothers? "99 Problems" follows.

fuck oasis. they've always been pricks. i think the ultimate fuck you was the response of the crowd. they loved Jay's 'wonderwall' and i'm sure they can see right through the oasis BS. any truly great rapper, when coupled with a live band, will blow oasis off the stage any day of the week. jay with a live band is fucking great, it takes his shit to a whole new level. did anyone reading catch the public enemy show at jannus landing last year? if you did, than you know. so, to recap, fuck oasis. they were never any good to begin with.
