Y'all niggas are ruthless..lmao.
Music-industry sources say Apple is interfering with Jay Z’s music-streaming service Tidal in an attempt to crush it ahead of the relaunch of Apple’s Beats Music, set for June.
Last week it emerged that Tidal, following its March 30 launch, has fallen out of the iPhone top 700 apps. But positioning in the app charts is driven by downloads, and according to our source, Apple “deliberately took a long time to approve Tidal iOS app updates. Tidal had a new app on Android on April 15, but still hasn’t received approval for Apple’s iOS app store.”
Robert Kondrk, vice president of iTunes Content, has also declared war on artists who sign up with Tidal. A source told us, “Robert told execs at Universal Music Group that Rihanna and other Tidal artists’ music would not be promoted as featured artists on iTunes if they put exclusive music out on Tidal.”
The source added that after Rihanna’s song “American Oxygen” debuted on Tidal, there were technical problems with her music on iTunes. The source explained, “Rihanna’s songs were scrambled and were out of commission for periods of time.”
A spokesman for Apple said, “That’s not true,” on the claim Rihanna’s songs were deliberately scrambled, but declined to comment on the other claims.
Meanwhile, another source confirmed Kondrk’s threat that Tidal artists would not promoted on iTunes: “That is normal operating procedure. If an artist chooses to market content exclusively with another rival retailer, no company is going to market or push content from that artist that hard.” Tidal reps did not respond to requests for comment.
Although there were multiple Sony artists at the Tidal launch, including Beyoncé, Sony Music will not grant Tidal a license to stream from Sony artists. Sony Music boss Doug Morris is now asking for $35 million in advance and $20 million in one year. A rep for Sony Music declined to comment.

I dont feel sorry for Jay Z. He switched his whole career to cater to whites with that international hov bullshit. They are just letting him know what they really feel about him. I bet him and his wife wont turn their nose up at another BET invite again. In a essence what the majors are doing to Tidal Jay Z did with everyone on rocafella in 03 and def jam in 06.

nobody wants another nigga selling them some bullshit service that is a lower quality of what i can get elsewhere. i bought rocawear shit cause as a kid that shit met a need for urban clothing, i bought jay z albums because it was top notch hip hop in the late 90s and early 2000's. I went to see jay last year cause again its what he does best.
but everyone is trying to spin this shit like niggas just wanna down a nigga and see him fail just cause. jay the nigga who hyped up this bullshit service only for it to be basic bitch status. jay the nigga who tries to relate to the average joe fan by telling us to pay his millionaire and billionaire music friends.

Cut that childish shyt out man.
Other than Tomp and the troll droppin all the links, who is happy he failing?
There is a difference between being happy to see him fail and merely POINTING OUT, that he has possibly failed
Some of yall are on some Bill Cosby shyt where no bad news against a black man should be reported. Yea, fuk that. Thats patronizing to black businessmen, im not gon treat them as children. They fair game to the same analysis and jokes as any business. He a big boy nh he'll b alright
