That might just be the case at hand, according to earlier reports, Chicago rapper Kanye West was tapped to be the headliner for the legendary English music festival, however, reports now say Jay Z's name might be appearing in the marquee instead.
"The Saturday slot is a wonderful hip-hop artist from New York and a bit of a legend in my view." Founder and organizer Michael Evis tells the AFP.
"We're trying to get youngsters to the festival this year. Hopefully the headliner will appeal to them, we've traditionally had a very white line up and I'm moving away from that." He continued.
In other news…
When asked if the headline slot would be taken by Jay Z, who fits the description, Elvis would not confirm or deny.
Glatonsbury has been held every year except every 5th year since the 70's.
The next Glastonbury Festival will be held on the weekend of June('08) 27th, 28th and 29th.

good for hip-hop 2 b at glastonbry, but who cares?!
kanye gon snap lol
Some Def Sounds readers, like myself, live in the UK; so we might care.
Also, some people live international lives, travelling between countries because they can afford to; so they might care too, since they might live in New York but be able to afford to travel to the UK for university or just for fun.
Hope this is an informative answer for you.
damn...kanye was right..."only thing i wanna know is why i get looked over...i guess i'll understand when i get more older...big brother"...damn i feel bad for "lil brother"...
good point. that song was raw product too. alot of niggas still dont take kanye that serious as an MC but he stepped his game up tremendously since he started.
Good for hi-hop man these types of Festivals can bring back acclaim to the hip-hop world

I think Kanye would bring the young kids out more than Jay would. He's got the hottest album out right now(besides GFK, Big Dough Rehab) and his live performances have been ridiculous lately. Still Hov is solid anywhere at anytime and he won't dissapoint. Still, I think 'Ye is a better fit.
HAHA kanye
kanye will be in america on his Glow In The Dark tour when glastonbury is on so it's not really a case of him getting looked over.
YEAH HUH, KANYE GONNA BE TOURIN ANYWAYS WHEN THE FESTIVAL BEGINS. THIS IS JUST SOME STUPI, LAME ASS CONTERVERSY THAT SOMEONES TRYIN TO START WITH JAY....AGAIN. YYYYAAAAAWWWWWNNNNNN....THE SHIT GETTIN OLD, NOW PROMOTERS ARE TRYIN TO START SOME KIND OF BEEF WITH JAY AND YE. GET OFF THE DUDES DICK!!!
lmao, living up to your name I see..
please tell me the name of a hip-hop legend then.
*the nigga in your avatar called him a legend*
How you gon say Jay ain't a legend? You can hate on Jay, but you can't deny that man's legacy, Jay-Z is defiantly a legend in every way.
^^ man wtf is this dude talkin about?? son jay is not a legend? i dont even know what to say about that one son..u might wanna go and do ur homework before u say summin stupid like that hoomie
Kanye ain't gon have that shyt ha ha. Jay Z just juggernauting all sorts of shyt.
u know how it is. jigga got the bigger name. makin more moves than 'ye.
jig aint bigger than ye over in uk atm tho. american gangster debuted at 30 over here, graduation debuted at no. 1
Burrrz the only reason why Kanye debuted no.1 over there is because of "Stronger" that was some electro punk type music he put out that's why he was no.1 in the U.K. Jay-z didn't put out no punk shit. He came out hard with that street shit this time around and that's why them europeans didn't buy it.
all yall sayin jay not a legend-which he isnt...but what da fucc is kanye???fuc kanye west..he a disgrace to chicago..chi doesnt even like him..his music is trash fuccin TRASH-jus like what people keep doin to my comments no matter what i say...FUC EVERYBODY AND KANYE WEST

And for all you dumbasses that say Jay aint a legend might really really really want to rethink that! He's the richest hip hop star to date he's worth $541 million that's legendary, he was in one of the greatest battles in rap history, he created a dynasty, he sold millions of records, he came out every year from 96 to 03, shit o4 if you wanna include best of both worlds. He beat out ELVIS PRESLEY for the most consecutive no.1 albums. Now let me ask yall something what has you favorite rapper ever accomplished? Now compare them to Jay, think about it for a second!!!! Their's is pathetic aint it? LOL! Yall aint serious.
Hov , Ye .... Ye , Hov does it matter really ?
