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

[soul rattler]

meanwhile Baltimore is burning but hove still tweeting about tidal

because if jay tweeted about it then it would suddenly be fixed?

he eating off alot of these guys who are suffering in these streets wouldn't hurt to say something,to me it comes off as if he doesn't want to say anything because he doesn't want to hurt his brand

His brand? You are talking about the interstate drug dealer turned rapper, right? That's the guy who you think is afraid to speak on police brutality because it would ruin his reputation?

 

[S2J]

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

Welcome to the stock market, where if Coca-Cola's stock drops 2% headlines will say Coca-Cola is going out of business - days after it announces that it cleared $20 billion and/or had a record year SMMFH. Like I said, this isn't about Jay-Z it's about seeing him lose b/c niggas live in a nightmare in their minds. Bookmark this thread and come back in a year. Time will tell in 3-5 years.

This is why I don't bother, b/c when you sit down and think about it, most people can't think past a week or 2 at best. Sit down and really really think about that. Do your own plans transcend past a week or 2 ? What about what you see for yourself ? Think about it. I blame technology b/c it's made people even more dependent and unable to sit still and think b/c there's so much bombarding them. Those who see things months and years ahead will consistently be the masters of the narrow-minded.

But where's Tidals record year? It's fine you believe in Tidal and Jay, but blind love/appreciation isn't any better than blind hating. You can keep on name dropping all this big companies, but what so far tells you Tidal is gonna be able to make a turn around, beside being run by Jay Z? You do realize some companies actually fails, no matter how much time you give them, right?

Lots of people have dropped objectives concerns about Tidal and its roll out without mentioning Jays name, but for some reason you seem to completely ignore this. Why is Jay above criticism?

I want to be super clear about my arguments preceding the past pages, and I made this very clear. I've said already you cannot know nor can you take 2 weeks of news and extrapolate that to say that "it is the end" of a company. The company has had issues prior for 5 long years btw (and is STILL around), this is why he was able to get it for the price he paid. I'm stating that it's enormously ignorant for people to make accusations about the company without OBJECTIVELY looking at all the facts. The company is not even America & wasn't introduced here properly until a while ago. It's not bigger than Spotify or Pandora so why it's being compared and then being considered a failure to the 3 for being smaller is ignorant. We don't know what's going to happen next, when you think about it tho, for Tidal, NOT Aspiro as a whole, it may only take for him and Beyonce to drop a collab album exclusively to turn things around for Tidal. Again, no one knows for sure but understand what you are criticizing and WHY, then try to observe how it makes sense. What is the main issue with Tidal ? Is it the price of the service ? Is it the fact that it's not taking off like a hot album on Billboard charts ? Is it the fact that it's slowly growing a subscriber base and reorganizing management that's pissing off an ever eager crowd ? They said GE, Coca-Cola (in 88), American Express, Apple, Nintendo, Gillette, Johnson & Johnson, ExxonMobil/Standard Oil of California was finished at various points but lo and behold look at them now. By all means Aspiro is NOT any of them and time will tell if it thrives or dies.

I've said over and over again, "let time tell it" , "time will tell", he owns all of Aspiro and it's subsidiaries. He can always shut it down and relaunch another subsidiary of Aspiro with a new movement and plan. Again time will tell if that's necessary. I say to bookmark this thread and re-up it in a year b/c most of the posts in this thread in the last 5 pages are all subjective views that reflect niggas don't like Jay. If Jay-Z NEVER attached his name to this none of you niggas would have a fuck to give but b/c it's Hov niggas all of a sudden niggas have a lot to say, a month and 29 pages of this thread are filled w/ negative responses.

I've said my piece on Jay-Z on the IC before and I'm not really a fan of dude, I RESPECT him though for his intelligence and discipline.

you're making too much sense.

people WANT to see this shit fail, if you havent noticed.

And then this ngga. 'Hov' is not lurking fam. You're not getting your mixtape on Tidal, relax

Stop making sense bruh...

If you see nothing wrong with declaring a company a failure within 2 months of launching…then you're probably delusional. Niggas been chanting gleefully of Jay-Z's "failure" since the 2nd week after launch.

Groveshark just shut down damn
http://recode.net/2015/04/30/groove...e-that-used-to-scare-the-big-labels-gives-up/

At one time, the music startup — which promised 35 million users they could “Play any song in the world, for free!” but that didn’t have deals to pay the big music labels — seemed like a problem for the music industry. Now it’s dead.

After losing a six-year legal battle, Escape Media, the company that owns Grooveshark, is formally conceding to the music labels that sued it.

In a settlement with Universal Music Group, Sony Music and Warner Music Group, the company’s founders are shutting down their Web site, apps and everything else they own, wiping their servers clean of music, and offering a formal apology to the industry.

And just to drive the point home, the company is telling its users to go buy subscriptions from licensed streaming services, like Spotify, Deezer and Google Play.

Last week, a U.S. District Court judge told a jury that Escape could be liable for up to $736 million in damages after losing a copyright case. Under the terms of the settlement, Escape doesn’t have to pay the labels anything, but would have to pay the labels $75 million if they violate the terms of the agreement.

Apple pushing music labels to kill free Spotify streaming ahead of Beats relaunch

Aggressive tactics from the music giant have garnered scrutiny from the Department of Justice

By Micah Singleton on May 4, 2015 08:01 am Email @MicahSingleton

The Department of Justice is looking closely into Apple’s business practices in relation to its upcoming music streaming service, according to multiple sources. The Verge has learned that Apple has been pushing major music labels to force streaming services like Spotify to abandon their free tiers, which will dramatically reduce the competition for Apple’s upcoming offering. DOJ officials have already interviewed high-ranking music industry executives about Apple’s business habits.

""All the way up to Tim Cook, these guys are cutthroat.""

Apple has been using its considerable power in the music industry to stop the music labels from renewing Spotify’s license to stream music through its free tier. Spotify currently has 60 million listeners, but only 15 million of them are paid users. Getting the music labels to kill the freemium tiers from Spotify and others could put Apple in prime position to grab a large swath of new users when it launches its own streaming service, which is widely expected to feature a considerable amount of exclusive content. "All the way up to Tim Cook, these guys are cutthroat," one music industry source said.

Sources also indicated that Apple offered to pay YouTube’s music licensing fee to Universal Music Group if the label stopped allowing its songs on YouTube. Apple is seemingly trying to clear a path before its streaming service launches, which is expected to debut at WWDC in June. If Apple convinces the labels to stop licensing freemium services from Spotify and YouTube, it could take out a significant portion of business from its two largest music competitors.

Apple has an antitrust monitor on its campus, courtesy of the DOJ after Apple was found guilty in an ebook antitrust case last year (Apple is appealing the decision), but it's not clear if that monitor is involved in this latest situation. The DOJ isn’t the only entity looking into Apple’s dealings with the music industry, either. According to the New York Post, Apple is being probed by the European Union’s Competition Commission to find out if the company is working with the labels to rid the industry of freemium services.

Apple declined to comment.

hopefully the dept of justice gives apple that work and we can save free commercial streaming on spotify. wack artists don't want people streaming their albums realizing its too wack to cop and they only see limited streaming revenue vs the cut they get for a $10 buy.
