The Official Jay-Z's "Tidal" Streaming Service Thread (New Stand Up Comedy Series Added)

[ethos]

All tidal has to do is allow its "owners" to drop exclusive music/access and it'll already have a head up on all the other streaming sites out there.... How much did Beyonce sell on her surprise release again on iTunes??? Imagine if she just did that again but made it exclusive to tidal....now what if jay then turned around and did the same thing??? Then Kanye turned around and did the same thing??? Then Nicki turned around and did it then rihanna did it then cold play did it then usher did it then alicia keys did it etc??? Of course those would be limited time exclusives but if you don't think ppl would at least cough up for the $10 plan in droves for that type of access you bugging.... Shit I remember seeing ppl getting whole Samsung phones just to get the app for jayz album lol

Shit in retrospect that little deal was a set up for this, including the stuff you mentioned about Beyonce and her surprise album.

I won't be subscribing to shit lol, I got a PS4 and just got that free spotify so I'm good with that for now. Anything else I'll find on the interwebs for what I need.

this guys Jay-Z hate level is at 9000

are people willing to pay $20 a month for something they can access for free? I don't see the real value of it, but I do think that a Digital label that provide exclusive content that you have to pay for will be the future of music.

Because we're taking all this free music for granted and in the long term, the "music store" is going to be streaming websites for new music. Even Youtube will eventually charge a subscription service for exclusive content and channels, you think for a minute them Youtube stars won't sign a deal for that ?

What Jay-Z is doing is playing real life monopoly because he can exclusively sell his and his artists' music on #Tidal at a premium and you'll pay for it because it's Jay-Z and co. and you can't get it anywhere else. The price will become more competitive over time. This is not a new company they've been around for a while and already have a customer base so obviously SOMEBODY was paying for this. Give it some time so it can work it's prices to be more competitive.

youtube streaming and hov e hov having exclusive albums come out only on tidal are way far down the pipeline. Remember when CD's were supposed to not be in stores by now? Remember by now niggas was supposed to be flying cars and shit?. Change takes time and the way things change is a crapshoot.

Lets say Jigga releases a cole album only on tidal will people really buy the service just for that? Lets say a big time youtube artist or 2 only shows shit on youtube subscriptions you think niggas really gon pay?

Part of any successful youtube channel or rap artist is the idea that content can be spread for free. That's excatly why Nikki Minaj or Tyga has 4 times as many followers than people that actually buy their album. That's why a youtube protoge goes from a free channel like Spoken Reasons to paid comedy shows and movie roles.

You can't limit content from bootlegging and still expect a brand to grow. Letting people bootleg a J cole album or letting someone watch spoken reasons on tv will turn into a person buying a concert ticket or paying for a comedy show/movie. Word to Wu Tangs special 1 copy album that shit don't work it will backfire.

I had to come through with the nosign on part of this post. If Jigga releases a Cole album on TIDAL that may not be enough incentive to sign up, but the benefit of having this same ability with multiple artists or making it exclusive to the streaming site more regularly with the same artist could be enough pull.

Also, bootlegging could help artist popularity expand through word of mouth, but is the value in this large potential enough to eat that loss. If that person isn't even interested in buying an album, its more unlikely that they would be willing to drop the dough for a concert or movie featuring the artist. I think that the loss is not worth the word of mouth enough to not at least attempt to combat bootlegging.

be honest you nosigned me cause Uconn done beat down on that gator ass 3 games in a row in the last 2 years lololol.

Nah actually that aint even cross my mind, but thanks for reminding me. I have a permanent vendetta against that bitch ass squad now lol

@G.Avant both our teams weren't shit this year lmaooo

Dude why keep posting all these links? We already know these niggas is doin this shyt purely outta self-interest. Quit beatin this dead ass horse.

 

[tompetrez3]

No hate jigga warriors but how would a exclusive track/content work in todays internet? The track would literally be exclusive for milliseconds before links go up world wide.

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

the exclusive content doesnt have to be music.

it could be a live stream.

it could be a host of things.

but again its only exclusive for a few hours. they live stream a jigga concert someone with semi decent recording gear would have that shit up on youtube by the next morning. Same thing with torrents and other downloads. Ain't nobody about to sign up for $10 or $20 a month just to watch a jigga concert or a coldplay concert online. Same thing with behind the scenes access.

like i said, it could be a host of things.



it could be physical things.

it could be discounts to concerts.

it could be limited edition t-shirts.

it could be vouchers for merch.

the bolded are the only 2 things that may work as far as exclusive vinyls and not a discount to a concert but exclusive seats or presale seats to a concerts. Exclusive Merchandise and discounts are bullshit nobody is going to invest netflix money just to get special merchandise or a voucher. It really comes down to giving listeners exclusive concert tickets at face value for being a 2 or 3 year member without cancellations of the service.

 

[fuck gay-z]

Damn dude, you must really hate Jay

I'm allergic to fuck niggaz, plus I hate when ppl

act like fuck nigga Camel ain't been lapped a

million times over by Drizzy Da Gawd.

You're a Drake fan? *automatically blocks out anything this nigga says*

Also lol at Drizzy apparently not being a fuck nigga.

Provide me with a logical argument for

Drizzy ever being a fuck nigga, & back it up

with (and I know this will be impossible for

a homotional Camel stan like u) facts.

First off nigga, I've never been a Jay stan (or anyone else's for that matter). A fan yes, but I'm just as critical of him as well.

And secondly, eeeeeeverything about Drake is bitchmade. Hiding behind other niggas (such as J. Prince): check. Tryna G check niggas he's sure he can go toe to toe with: check. Getting the shyt slapped outta him by Diddy's gay ass: affirmative. Not doing shyt about said slap but dropping a wack ass mixtape track sub dissing talkin bout "I got enemies. Got a lot of ememies": pretty much. Nigga's still salty about Control to this day. Anyone else care to add on?

So now being discovered by someone is considered

hiding behind them? #DEAD

Who did he G check? Receipts.

Diddy smacked the most popular rapper in the

world & in there's no footage despite the fact

we live in the most WSHHafied time OAT? #DEAD

Again, receipts for the slap.

Oh, and thx 4 proving that ur either too fucking

retarded to comprehend the term "logical

argument" or have no logical argument 2 back up

ur god awful, unsubstantiated claim, cuz none

of those points u made were backed by facts....#DEAD

Rolan Polanski's a rapist. Just because you never saw it down mean it ain't happen...

Faggot. Get the camel's dick outcha mouth.

 

[damobb2deep]

We all know why he was denied

money speaks louder then color bruh...

 

[GetoBoy]

The average consumer isn't gonna wanna go through the whole process of checking for torrents and YouTube links to find things when they can easily pay $10 a month which they are already paying for other services and get all that access with no problem.... Especially if it starts giving you looks at things that you won't find anywhere else

 

[tompetrez3]

Regular radio station give away concert tickets. Thats not a lucrative incentive to sign up for Tidal especially when he cant explain in details about the "things" that differ Tidal from other services. Jay Z does not have a business plan ready he is just depending on selling subscriptions based on his name.

 

[GetoBoy]

Listen to a radio and HOPE you win or pay $10 a month and have things guaranteed for you??? Like I said for the common not blog site and forum columns customers this is gonna be a easy choice.... You can't REALLY think 15 of the biggest acts are all together and there literally is no plan or nothing but just giving ppl the same music they already getting elsewhere....

The only plan those artists have is to make more money but cutting out the middlemen. Tidal is not consumer focused. The whole presentation was about artists crying about labels taking all the money. What new revolutionary thing has tidal done for the CONSUMER. I don't give a fuck about rich artists trying to make themselves richer.

And how can they make themselves richer without offering more value then consumers can get anywhere else....its basically the drug game if I can get the same thing on my street as I can get from the nigga a hour away then why would I drive that hour??? You gotta make it worth the trip....the way things are right now no ppl won't sign up and change becuz there's no reason to but its only been a couple days so what are you expecting already??? If common ppl know the things it would take to make this a success I'm sure the millionaires who release the product know this... If I had to choose between paying $10 to tidal to get exclusive content along with the regular content or pay $10 elsewhere for only the regular content and have to go find torrent and YouTube links for the other content ima go the more convenient route
