Jay Z - Jay-z Headlining Glastonbury Is Cool Say Mgmt
Hotly-tipped US duo MGMT have said Jay-Z's headlining of this year's Glastonbury festival is good news for the event.
The Somerset festival - held at Worthy Farm, Pilton, at the end of June - has not sold out as quickly as in previous years and critics have blamed the New York rapper's headlining slot as the reason for slower sales.
Oasis' Noel Gallagher said featuring a hip-hop act at Glastonbury was "wrong" but his comments have been met with a frosty response from much of the industry, with Coldplay's Chris Martin claiming last month he found any debate about whether Jay-Z was an appropriate headliner "embarrassing".
Get Cape.Wear Cape.Fly also said last week that as the Roc-A-Fella mogul was the "best rapper in the world", he was an ideal choice for the legendary festival and now MGMT's Ben Goldwasser has also dismissed any notion that Jay-Z does not belong on the Pyramid stage.
"I think people are thinking about the legacy of the festival and the kind of acts that usually play there, the general vibe and attitude of everyone," he told inthenews.co.uk.
"I personally think it's cool that a rapper is headlining."
Goldwasser, whose song Time to Pretend shot up the charts after being featured in the final episode of the second series on Skins, added: "I've been to a lot of festivals which have been predominantly white music for white audiences, without a lot of crossover, so it's cool."
Jay-Z himself - real name Shawn Carter - commented publicly on the apparent furore this week, saying his headlining slot was "just a natural progression".
"We don't play guitars, Noel, but hip-hop has put in its work like any other form of music," he told the World Entertainment News Network, in reference to Gallagher's comments.
"We just have to respect each other's genre of music and move forward."

Mel B admits to treating Geri badly
Spice Girls star Mel B has admitted that she treated her bandmate Geri Halliwell badly when the group first got together.
In an interview with Grazia magazine, Mel B said she was tough on Halliwell when she failed to master some of the more difficult dance routines.
The singer said: "If Geri gets her dancing wrong now I tell her. But in the old days I may have done it in a bitchy way, but it's much more sisterly now. I want her to look fantastic and get it right."
"Everybody knows that Geri and I have had our problems in the past, but having time apart and then coming back together has been incredibly healing," she said.
"We have a real bond and, amazingly, our daughters, Angel and Bluebell, are completely fascinated by each other," said the singer.
Mel B also said that Halliwell encouraged her to take part in 'Dancing with the Stars', saying: "I wanted to show everyone what I could do. I talked to Geri and she was right behind me, telling me to go for it and knock everybody dead."

Local rapper Savage could be adding some famous friends to his posse, after officially signing on as a label mate to Amy Winehouse and Jack Johnson at Universal Republic last Friday.As reported last week, Savage was caught in the midst of a four-way bidding war after his 2005 hit single Swing was released in America last month, soaring up the iTunes charts.Universal Music NZ managing director Adam Holt said it was great news for both Savage and his local record label Dawn Raid."It's such an amazing breakthrough. Universal Republic are a big label with really good hip-hop credibility. They're going to get the best producers and all that. It really gives Dawn Raid a foothold on America."Holt also hopes the deal will boost the confidence of the local hip-hop scene in general, which has suffered a rough couple of years.Dawn Raid's Brother D said it was a very proud moment for the team, similar to when OMC's How Bizarre hit the charts 12 years ago. "When How Bizarre broke out we were like 'Wow, we finally did it'. To me, that is how this feels. It's another 'wow, we finally did it' moment again.
"I'm really proud of Savage but also of what we've done to follow it through, especially with some of the headaches we've had. "That's how business is, you go through your highs and lows. This is a high."
