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

[TheGOAT]

Kanye never looks happy about anything. Ever. Like miserable everyday

You must not have seen that video of him and his mom

Or him and his "daddy" Ralph Lauren

Here's some info about Apple's Streaming service:

$7.99 a month subscription, will not include a free tier.

Will launch later this year, in every country where Apple sells music. Tidal is only available in 31 countries

It will include the entire iTunes library. 43 million songs (compared to Tidal's 25 million)

Will be available for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, CarPlay, Apple Watch, and Android, yes, ANDROID!

Yo that's about £4....lol....sign me up Apple

 

[DNB1]

Im reading it's staying at the Beats original price of $9.99 with a $14.99 family option.

Apple/Jimmy is currently in talks with over a dozen artists to sign exclusive content deals.

Released in June 2015

they aren't having a press conference with Dre where he talks for 45 minutes about nothing and pretends to care about the fans. that is why people are calling bullshit and replying on here about tidal trying to act like they are something different but really outside of hq FLAC music its the same shit on a different day.

see 4:30 into this video that is the reason why people are downing tidal more than other methods or services for music streaming

In that press conference what did jay z say again??? Oh that's right he didn't say anything lol... Niggas just looking for a reason becuz they actually KNOW the names behind it and know where the money is going..... It's sad where ppl are more ok with a bunch of suits taking they money over the ppl who actually supply the product they're buying but hey I guess to each his own...have you seen a apple press conference??? I promise you they're gonna do the same type of hype for they're product but you won't care becuz it'll be Tim cook instead of jay z.....let's just all be real with the issue y'all really have jay z and a bunch of artists are gonna get paid more and y'all got a problem with that.... You'd rather it be some name in a suit taking your money

Go thru this entire thread and quote where someone said that Jay is turning water into wine with this new service.

No one in here has come in here and said how great or revolutionary it is. Not one person.

Lmao at these fools making up a enemy to fight. I don't even check for Jay-Z. I never really got into him. I chose Nas without question in that battle and fuck with his other Rock affiliates, Beans, Cam'ron, and Kanye well before i would throw on a J album. Why can't people just argue the merits without all this hostile anti stanery?

They walked over and signed their name on a scroll guys

Could it be the scutiny has nothing to do w/ Jay z, but rather its the hilarity of how serious their taking themself for a relatively minor musical product

Everything on the Reason always on some rdtreat to corners, side a vs side b, its childish af.

The shyt is not difficult, i hope Jay z makes a TRILLION of thd dumb asses buyin this shyt, but i can also walk and chew gum and see this is a lot of smoke and mirrors. Simple

Honestly, I've never watched the video. I'm only speaking on the service. You letting the pop hype get to you. My discussion has always been around the merits of offering high quality music which no one else is doing. I don't like the exclusivity which is my only complaint. I'm not buying so i can't complain about the price. At the end of the day, it's their product to do with as they will. If you don't like it, don't listen.

To that i say, if you dont like to hear critiques, dont read, listen, or reply. I mean wtf, every dissenting voice nggas get on defensive and try to snuff it out.

This is an open discussion on not only the producy but the marketing and promo. I happen to have a degree in marketing. So....yea. thats a valid point of this discussion. To say its not would be foolish when from day 1 they've had ads on this site, when i open my gmail and yahoo, commercials.

Also, perhaps you didnt see the video earlier where they tell you lossless audio is basically an undetectable difference from the other comparable quality.

I'm going to ignore all that other stuff, because i don't give a shit about marketing or your marketing degree. I'm speaking on the service and that's all I've spoken on. I'm also responding to the assertions that only Jay stans are speaking about any value in the service. Obviously that was the reason for my response. For the most part, i don't read your posts. To the bolded, i would say, sure, on shitty equipment and with terrible encoding. But whatever, i'm sure that video offered total proof and is the only voice of validity on that topic.

And thats the elephant in the room. Nggas buy 1 pair of Beats and think they have high end equipment. Music snobs. Yall can have that fake sound engineer shyt

For everyone else, google lossy vs lossless, and outside of the bubble of this thread, the majority of people agree: there is technically a difference but its a bullshyt difference that only matters if you are an engineer, or a DJ, or an artist, or if you are literally running tests.

Audiophile with descent equipment. True.

Lol at ppl saying tidal isn't nothing different and won't change anything but now you already got the biggest tech company in America (apple) tryna come up with a plan to match tidal already.... For better or worse this service is gonna change the way the streaming business is run and that's the only case I've ever heard them make for the service... This whole argument of "they tryna make it seem like its some great services for the customers" is nothing but y'all making your own argument up then fighting it yourself becuz they've never done that...... All they've said is this is gonna change the way music streaming is done and with apple and beats music now tryna follow their lead it seems like they were right

 

[usmarin3]

Two things to take away from this Tidal thing.

1. White people are still some racist ass mf. One thing they hate more than black people in general is black people who are financially educated and doing well. They'll only allow you to get so successful until they turn on you. You think for one second they have a problem with wealthy white artist who make money off their music (Paul Mccartney, Bono,Madonna,etc). Nope. They only have a issue when black people do (Jay, Puffy,etc).

2. Fans have gotten so use to getting free shit they are up in arms about paying for music. 20 bucks a month for high quality music really ain't shit. Niggas out here paying for Netlfix when you can download movies for free.

I salute niggas like Puff, Jay, 50,etc who are thinking bigger than just making albums. Get ya money!
