As some of you probably already know, Noel from the group Oasis, had some harsh things to say about Jay-Z headlining this big show in the U.K., which is usually headlined by a rock act. The angry English dude basically blamed Jigga for the lack of ticket sales this year. It’s taken a while for Jay-Z to respond (probably to busy dissing ball players) but here’s what he had to say about the situation.

We don’t play guitars, Noel, but hip-hop has put in its work like any other form of music. This headline show is just a natural progression. We just have to respect each other’s genre of music and move forward.

I’ve never ever had a show that’s caused this much of a stir so I’m really looking forward to it. I’ve never been involved in anything this controversial. What’s the big deal about doing a show? I guess it’s heritage and people hold that dear to their heart and see it one way but that’s how the world is. The world has to change. It just can’t be one thing – and that’s the beautiful thing. That’s why people feel so passionate about an event.

And the winner is…
