The 135,000 sell out crowd was definitely happy to be at Glastonbury, watch Lupe’s intro and entire performance after the break.

Fuck, thats embarrassing. Lupe giving one of the best performances I’ve seen and the least responsive (when he shouts out ‘because hip hop saved my life’ does anyone actually notice? & ‘little weapon’, HONESTLY), unrythmic (the hand bobbing is abysmal) and just generally bad audience who apparently demands to try and fake that they know the words for half an hour, even though they’ve probably only heard Superstar a couple of times on the radio.
Sigh, I hate when your favourite Artists gets mainstream. Just makes me feel so sad that there is no chance of seeing Lupe do a little gig at a record shop like he did at Deal Real in London before even Food & Liquor was released. Whereas then, the small audience could listen to his flow and you knew what he did well, and were a proper fan. Now, theres no possibility of that happening without thousands of fucking moronic ‘fans’; who just want to hear superstar, and are totally ignorant of the rest of his catalogue, turning up and ruining the event. This video, while awesomely dope, proves that 99.99% of the people who ‘really really really like’ Lupe are totally undeserving of the supreme artist he is in actuality.
This is my problem with Hip-Hop being at Glasto. To be honest, I dont have that much of an issue with it, no festival should be void of the best and most original genre of music, but the crowd are totally underserving. They come to see the same white, unoriginal, ‘rock’ bands contributing nothing original to the scene, that slated hip hop being on the glasto bill in the first place, rascist sons of bitches. Hip hop has every right to be at any festival it desires; any one of N.W.A’s songs says more than Oasis’ ‘most meaningful and most impactful’ song Wonderwall ever could, but as I said, it takes an original, un-bias, intelligent view to recognise the importance of meaningful hip hop.
So fuck you, Noel Gallagher, and every other institutionally rascist bastards that say that Hip Hop doesnt deserve or belong at Glastonbury; We stand for more than any modern rock song ever could. Lupe, Hova, Hip-Hop, we dont fucking need Glastonbury, they are wholly underserving.
+ NWS, sorry I’ve been unresponsive, I have temporarily moved to a town with no internet. Great.
