Jay-Z (no longer retired) played the Glastonbury Fest in the UK -- a festival normally dominated by rock acts. Billboard reports that he managed to win over some doubters (if not haters) by covering Brit pop legends Oasis.

Has hip-hop reached its limit, or can it still reach more pure rock fans?

Jay-z is the best rapper alive, who else can come otu with two albums in one year and have every song as good as it's next..? the answer is nas-period. Jay-z ranks as one of my personal favorites...he's a legend by now and I hope he doesnt retire or falsely resign like he has in the past..trufully I want him to stay making good music for the love of hip-hop culture...with out him there's barely anyone who can stand on top of every artist..lyrically and finacially as a buissness man. jigga's my nigga.
