    Oasis: 'Jay-Z Acted Like A Schoolgirl After Glastonbury Set'

    Oasis guitarist Gem Archer has accused Jay-Z of acting like a schoolgirl after the US rapper released a song which berates his bandmate Noel Gallagher.

    In the song, entitled 'Jockin' Jay-Z', the rapper refers to his well publicised appearance at last summer's Glastonbury Festival, which Gallagher said was “wrong” for the event.

    He raps: "That bloke from Oasis said I couldn't play guitar/Somebody should have told him I'm a ****in' rock star."

    The track, from Jay-Z's forthcoming 'Blueprint 3' album, emerged just days after the rapper said he wasn't bothered about Gallagher's remarks.

    Now, speaking to the Sun newspaper, Archer has told Jay-Z to grow up.

    “It’s like eight-year-old girls in a schoolyard, running off and writing ditties like that,” he said.

    “But rappers love a ruck. It’s what they do. They set out to have a fight and it’s there in their lyrics. They love biffo.”

    • Tom- Gem never speaks out, and Jay z knows he has far less talent than Gallagher...thats why Jay z acted like the small minded child he is. His thug ego is still bruised. Jay z has only proved he has thin skin. I mean, can Jay z even play an instrument? BECAUSE I KNOW ANYONE CAN RAP!!!!!!!

    • JM, you're a dick...so I guess the only true artists are those individuals that play instruments??? Gee, so all the hundreds of songwriters or singers of bands have no talent based on your argument? You're just an idiot. You don't have to be a rap fan to recognize talent. If you don't think Jay-Z has talent, then I guess you know something the millons of people that bought his album don't know. Like I said b4...you're a dick. - maldito
