Is hip hop "wrong" for Glastonbury?

Is hip hop

Noel Gallagher has slated the inclusion of hip hop at this year's Glastonbury Festival, blaming it for an apparent slump in ticket sales. "If it ain't broke don't fix it", Gallagher explained, adding: "If you start to break it then people aren't going to go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go 'Kylie Minogue?' I don't know about it. But I'm not having hip hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong."

Do you agree with Noel? Does hip hop have a place on Glastonbury's line-up, and is a headline appearance from Jay-Z responsible for slow ticket sales?

    The whole Jay-Z at Glasto fiasco this year was ridiculous.
    And I mean it was no different to When Jimi Hendrix walked on stage without the classic acoustic and everybody walked off.
    I wasnt there but i know my facts.
    The only reason People DIDNT want HipHop There was because they were scared.
    People are scared to try anything other than what they know.
    And i think that is a general problem with society anyway.
    But this is the way things are.
    I say Keep the HipHop coming and people will soon get used to it.
    Im not sure about the HipHop Haters but Music is my Love.
    All kinds.
    Jay-Z put on a ledgendary Set.
    Bring it on...Im there either way :D
    Fight for hiphop at Glasto.

    Glastonbury should feature who ever they choose. Its been and gone now and I can't believe people are still moaning about it.
