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?

    Jay -Z is ace and does a proper show - like in the old days (a la Tina Turner - late seventies) He actually prepares a show - unlike these awful indie bands who wouldn't know a decent tune if it came up and bit them in the backside.

    I thought the organisers would have learned from what happened at the Reading and Leeds festivals a few years ago when 50 cent was put in between The Offspring and Green Day, he got nothing but boos and things thrown at him!
    Rap has no place at festivals. The Bulldog Bash is the best festival, no rap and it's a quarter of the price charged by other festivals!!
