Mark Ronson Slams Oasis' Noel Gallagher With Jay-Z Inspired Diss

More Oasis

Mark Ronson has retaliated against Noel Gallagher after the Oasis guitarist said he should learn to play three chords on the guitar before writing a song.

Speaking to the BBC last week, Gallagher also accused Ronson of “ruining” everyone else's music.

Responding to Gallagher's accusations, Ronson said he was taking guitar lessons from Jay-Z and that the US rapper has “already taught me both chords to 'Wonderwall'.

“In fact, it's so much fun having Jay teach me all of Noel's songs on the guitar (hooray!) that I'm thinking of doing an Oasis/Jay Z remix album a la 'The Grey Album'.

“Potential titles are 'Champagne Superhova' or 'Definitely Jay Z'. I'll keep you posted...,” he added.

Ronson's reference to Jay-Z follows the rapper's recent performance at the Glastonbury festival, which Gallagher had called “wrong” in the build up to the event.

As previously reported on Gigwise, last week Jay-Z relaesed a new song online entitled 'Jockin Jay-Z', in which he attacks Gallagher's comments.

What a cock Ronson is! Get your own music son, have a start by listening to the Masterplan, then just just give up music, you won’t ever come close or near to it or anything Noel/liam/gem/andy have wrote....not even fucking Little James!!!!!

Kudos to Mark Ronson! Great response. He’s one of the hottest acts in the world now, so I imagine he doesn’’t have to worry about what Noel Gallagher things of him. Noel needs to chill out a bit. Clearly he’’s getting more and more bitter with every greying hair.

Ronson really is an overrated tosspot. I saw him at Glasto and it was one of the most boring shows I’ve ever seen! Ok he’’s reworked one already good song to give it a catchy poppy sound, not exactly the hallmark of a genius (which he seems to think he is).
