Jay-Z: I'd work with Oasis

7 July 2008 12:53pm

They may have shown their disapproval of Jay-Z being added to Glastonbury's line-up last weekend, but the New York rapper has apparently offered an olive branch to Oasis.

Noel Gallagher gave his outspoken views about having a hip-hop artist headline the traditional rock-based festival, but then Jay-Z then showed he had no hard feelings by doing a cover of Oasis' hit Wonderwall, which went down a treat with festival-goers.

"Anyone, Oasis as well. I don't bear any grudge, it's all good," the 38-year-old told MTV Base when asked who he wanted to collaborate with.

"I just believe in good music and bad music, I've always said that. I've always stated that I don't believe in the lines and classifications that people put music in so they can define it."

And he reportedly confirmed stories that Noel wants to have a conversation.

"I haven't spoken to him. I heard he was reaching out, but I haven't spoken to him," Jay-Z - whose real name is Shawn Corey Carter - told the channel.
