18 years ago today, Jay-Z became the first rapper to headline Glastonbury and trolled Oasis after they said rap had no place being there. He came on stage playing their song Wonderwall then flipped it into 99 Problems

One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, love that he did this.
I mean, I know he’s allegedly a shit person, but he’s got great stage presence.
They see me trollin…
i remember this and feel old as shit lmaoo. crazy to realize twitter was around 18 years ago jfc
Back when phone cameras were absolutely terrible, Back when you needed a digital/disposable camera to get your photos. always refreshing to not see a sea of screens.
That guitar ain’t plugged in.
That was the last Glastonbury I attended. I am old.
I was there! Man, 18 years ago. I feel OLD.
IIRC you could still get a ticket a couple of days before the festival the year he was on. Those days are long gone.
Anyway, here’s Wonderwall
This is too funny, imagine going to see Jay Z and then he starts doing Wonderwall?
What were they chanting?
I love it but he didn’t exactly flip it lol theres like a minute of silence between them
I hate that he’s a freak because his concert was one of my favorite concerts the dude is an insane performer
I thought it’d be a mash up based off the title. There was a break.
Well, at least the Gallagher brothers are not friends with the Trump family.
one of the oasis boys said michael hutchence shouldnt present an award to them cause he was a “has-been”
they arent very friendly that’s for sure
Shit title. He sang Wonderwall and then played 99 Problems afterwards
that bloke from oasis said i couldn’t play guitar somebody shoulda told him i’m a fucking rockstar *today is gonna be the day that i’m gonna throw it back to you*
iconic
That also had the Back In Black version of 99 Problems too, which goes hard
I was hoping he was gonna blend the two songs. Jay Z + Linkin Park’s Collision Course is still on heavy repeat in my car after all these years and I’ve been waiting for another two big musical acts to mashup more of their hits like that album.
Jaz-Z net worth in 2026: 2.8 billion
This is hilarious
He’s also a billionaire and thusly should not be respected.
Iconic.
2 garb artists
Also it’s no Oasis, it’s Noel Gallagher
Cool. There are no good billionaires.
This is so incredibly unbearable. I’m no fan of Oasis or their opinions but I have always thought Jay-Z mostly sucked as a human and as a musician and this is just further evidence
People were listening to oasis in 2008? Rock has been repeating itself for a long time.
The Gallagher brothers have always been complete and utter dickheads.
How anyone can stand them, I’ll never understand
I can’t stand Jay-Z but this is the exact kind of petty I love.
He sounded terrible?
He plays petty same way he sings out of tune- peak performance in both!
fuck jay z
