Jay-Z raps about Oasis' Noel Gallagher Glastonbury spat

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".

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. "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."

Dear Jigga,

GIVE. IT. UP. ALREADY.

Now, I love Oasis, but I think you pretty much owned Noel when you "covered" "Wonderwall" at Glasto. It was kind of genius. But don't draw this out.

I don't have access to the new issue of NME to read Noel's statement, because I would have to drive for twenty minutes (or longer, since I would probably get lost) to get my hands on an issue. It doesn't look like Noel straight-up apologised, but clearly he doesn't want this to go on. Really? Noel was only saying what a lot of people were saying, and if they weren't saying it, a lot of people were thinking it. So go have a beer with the man and find somebody else to bitch about.

Kthx,

Jackie
