The king here is corporate music world. New rules are internet. They limit the power of corporate companies that usually play the link between artists and fans/consumers.
The internet has been more of a curse than blessing to the music industry (business wise) in the form of piracy. For all the innovation of this album with Samsung, its still gonna leak online.
JayZ is as "corporate" as they come. So like @tompetrez3 said is he liberator or tyrant?

Jay z has a corporate business but is an independent artist.
What's happening now is what happened to Tapes back in the late 90s except that labels are not more in the picture. You just need to get a buzz on internet and get a platform to sell your music from.
Just look at mac miller and macklemore or whatever his name is.
Labels are not necessary any more. You just need a buzz and good timing, you need to learn how to market your brand.

The album title sounds like some shit Bono just taught him because is using the Magna Carta term way out of contex in order to sound deep. What in the fuck does oceans and 1988 drug references have to do with a religious pursuit of liberty and justice for the people?
bitch do you even know what the magna carta is?
The Magna Carta is a proclamation to limit power to kings and queens in England. Jay z said on the commercial that he trying to control the Internet and have rules for it like a King. Which one is it? liberator or tyrant. The shit don't tie in conceptually at all. Jay z just taking dumb ass niggas like you on a ride thinking he is some kind of scholar when he dont know what the fuck he talking about himself

You've made valid points more especially buzz for new artistes ..
Fact of the matter though is of all the niggas here praising and hailng Jigga, only about 20% will actually cop that album. The rest will freely download
Afterall what's the point of copping when you got it saved on a hard drive?

Maximilyan;5980814 said:What power? We dont know the ins and outs of the deal. But did they (samsung) have any creative influence, did they impose any time constraints on the album release dates?
There are many things a conventional lable will do to affect, control, and restrict artists. It would seem that this is not the case in this deal.
In life and im business its difficult to do everything yourself. An issue only arises when you're rely on someone/thing that is exploiting you or limitting the value of your product.

Maximilyan;5980899 said:I clearly said "it would seem".
Neither of us know what whats. We can only guess. My point is that im sure most artists would like a little more freedom for their art.
This may provide that. When you're navigating uncharted waters, its trial and error. You're already declaring this pointless based on your limitted knowledge, whereas I am simply saying its a good thing hes trying something new. Not that its definitely tje answer.

Maximilyan;5980995 said:Lol. Im done argueing the business aspect.
Million sold before the album drops and people still want to hate.
Time for me to stop argueing with fools. At least about the business aspect. Ill only be debating the music from now.
