Jay-Z Discusses Noel Gallagher and his Indie-Rock Favorites

Jay-Z has been performing in England recently, and he stopped by to shoot an interview for one of the BBC’s foremost political outlets, The Andrew Marr Show.  The hip-hop superstar reflected on his spat with Noel Gallagher from Oasis and also took some time to talk about his current listening habits

 

Speaking about his appearance at the Glastonbury Festival, Jay-Z said: "That was like winning the first Grammy for me. It was one of those times where , you know…almost like knocking the door down. Noel Gallagher, I think he perpetuated the old way of thinking. We don't think like that, or listen to music like that [now].”

 

His current musical fascinations won’t be a surprise to anyone after his sudden appearance at a Grizzly Bear show in Brooklyn last month. “On my iPod is The Beatles, Jay-Z, Kings Of Leon, Lil Wayne, Grizzly Bear, Arctic Monkeys,” he said. “I listen to a diverse arrangement of music, and I think that how kids listen to music now."

The interview itself is quite a bit more interesting than the NME article. They talk about Obama and racism and healthcare and some other relevant topics.

Yawnnnnnnn. Jay-Z has been making the same outdated sounding, drivel-laden album since the late 90s... Poppin' bottles of Cristal, I used to sell drugs, blah blah blah. Noel Gallagher's music is timeless. Besides, his comments were completely taken out of context and made to sound racist and anti-hip hop, which they were not, as he himself said.
