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

[MarcusGarvey]

Not gonna lie, I'm more interested in how Jay reacts to the obvious smear campaign (that's how the highest level of corporate America works) than new music. He said he'd show you how to move in a room full of vultures.

My 2cents. He shouldn't have made it about the artists, he should've made it about the experience of using it.

Sometimes you just gotta be able to chalk up your L's.

Explaining to your consumers how many subscribers you have and other operational information doesn't make sense. Where they do that at?? That's information for your investors. Lmao @ I sent my cousin to Nigeria. Duke in panic mode. Fortunately Jay can afford a $50M loss.

im shocked he went heavy on social media. for all the camel jokes on and of the IC Hov always ignored allot of his hate. He would actually put it in a rap. But this tidal shit Jay caught feelings and started tweeting like most of these sensitive rappers do.

If you purchase your subscription to Tidal through an in-app purchase, you’ll pay $25.99 per month for hi-fi tracks. If you just subscribe to Tidal Premium, which offers standard sound quality, you will pay $12.99 each month. However, if you subscribe to Tidal through their Web page and pay with a credit card, subscription prices are $19.99 and $9.99 per month, respectively.

You can tell Jay don't like losing lol

 

[GetoBoy]

I'm STILL waiting on somebody to explain to me where this is a lose at??? How can you invest $56 million in something meant for the long haul and in 2 weeks it be considered a lose??? I mean didn't sprint/Softbank just spend $250 million on the service....so jay spends $56 mill on a service and in a couple weeks it's already upped its worth to $250 mill and y'all are calling THIS a lose??? Damn if this is a lose what the hell do y'all consider a win lol

Ive never seen a nigga winning go on twitter to explain themselves and their business. This isn't being measured on alleged company value (ain't nobody buying Tidal for $250 mill tomorrow). This is being measured on market share and successful marketing public perception. Jay lost because he started a company and it just made other companies grow (i.e. beats music/pandora/spotify subscribers spikes in the last few weeks). He also put all his chips solely on HQ FLAC music streaming which is the only thing that is unique about tidal.

Jay said give his company time. Time to do what? Mimic what spotify? Take another year before they realize they should have a free commercial version of the service to get more fan in? I just don't see tidal being able to revolutionize or capture the music stream business no matter how much time or celebrity phone calls they make.

And what market share should they have in just 2 weeks again???? What should they have accomplished in 2 weeks again??? He put all his chips on something and in just 2 weeks you discovered it'll never work??? Lawd I'm glad some of y'all aren't in big business niggas would be out here like "WHAT its been 2 weeks and our Samsung Galaxy S1 phone hasn't sold as much as the iPhone??? Let's just take this L and get out the phone game"....niggas be the type of fans to call a game over 2 minutes in...IMO its a lose when there is no chance at you making the money you invested in the company back off the company has that time come already after 2 weeks??? Did I miss it lol

 

[black caesar]

Why did Kanye leave?

 

[buttuh_b]

What makes yall think Tidal is gonna be able to compete with Spotify/Beats/Google? Nobody cares about that lossless shit. Lmao get over it. Can you at least admit they had a terrible marketing strategy and getting off to a bad start and the Twitter vagina monologues ain't helping?? Can you acknowledge that it's gonna be extremely difficult to capture market share?? I hear yall talking about Samsung and Apple but yall do realize a lot more businesses fail than succeed?

Got a BA in business administration with concentration in accounting from a highly ranked institution and I'm going back for my MBA in fall in case you want to tell me I don't know shit.

that's like looking at the knicks 2 weeks into the NBA season and saying "just give them time to grow". no clearly they had a coach who ran the triangle and players who didn't buy into it. so based on that you could tell their season was going to be shitty. and you know next year the knicks aint gon be shit. Same shit with the new york jets they doomed to fail under their current leadership.

While tidal is only a few weeks old its clear to see the message they launched with combined with the lack of innovation is going to make it doomed for failure. Jay-Z on his rex ryan trying to use talking points on twitter to hide the truth. The truth is Tidal does not have the innovation or vision to actually change the streaming game. Likewise the market gives 0 fucks about artists getting more money per stream. The market gives limited fucks about HQ music they just wanna hear mp3 quality for the most part.

like i said earlier espn decided to create a phone with samsung and you knew weeks into the phone it was going to fail. the same can be seen with tidal it was poorly planned and poorly led since jay took over.

That I can admit...will it be easy to come in a be number one out the gate??? Of course not.... When there is a obvious smear campaign going on to prevent you from succeeding will it be a simple task to just come in and take over a market that already has other valuable options??? Of course not....when everybody is only looking to you to reinvent the wheel and you didn't do that will it be simple to get ppl to understand what you're tryna to accomplish and get them to be apart of it??? No....but is it ever that easy for ANY company when they first start??? No!!!! Yes there will be stumbles, mess up, firings, and revisions but shit that's how things work when you're tryna start and build something.... You don't just put up $56 mill look at the backlash and smearing going on then 2 weeks in say "fuck it let me just take this L and get out" if businesses were ran like that and business men thought like that then we wouldn't have shit
