No, but I read the business school now and it 's better to start your own if you have the money . Why buy another company? Better make history instead of buying another .

Jay has all the prerequisites is that he takes the same idea but with their own names instead of wasting $60 million.

He could just as easily have donated money to the poor and to all disasters instead of spending this much money. quite embarrassing

I don't understand how throwing a concert and tweeting is a sign of panic..... What was he suppose to do not try and shine no light on the situation or reward the ppl who have signed up while also give others an incentive to sign up??? Is he suppose to just sit back and not do or say anything and let the service either just sink or swim on its own??? I swear niggas will hold jay to some of the most ridiculous standards......

yeah that concert that was streamed anyone to see for free really made me wanna sign up and pay $9.99 for tidal. Matter fact its not like anybody put it on youtube

oh wait


If you honestly think that somebody that has been in the music game as long as jay doesn't understand that nothing is gonna stay "private eye" exclusive where nobody can see or hear it but who he picks then I don't know what to tell you.....how much where the tickets to get in again??? Oh wait you couldn't buy em nowhere becuz they were exclusive....

the tickets were raffled off you couldn't buy them even if you paid $20 a month via tidal. to be honest watching the stream from home was probally better than being at the GA standing room only show in a tight crowd with little space to move.

At the end of the day jay is damned if he do and damned if he don't.... If he tries to explain things and defend his service he's in panic mode....if he tries to bring extra content as a benefit of his service it don't matter becuz we'll find it for free....if he sits and does/says nothing ppl gonna be like "where is jay why he ain't saying or doing nothing about this"......If your mind is made up then it's made up and nothing he can do is gonna change that becuz everything he does y'all gonna find a problem in it so basically he's in a no win situation with ppl....but like the nigga said he's use to it *shrugs*

No the concert was a great start to digging out the hole the press conference left in a certain segment of the market. I am just pointing out why it didn't pull me in to sign up. I still think tidal needs to find a way to have a freemium version. they also need to offer something financially outside a 3 month trial to benifit the fan price wise the way the artist sees more cents per stream than spotify.

I am just making up numbers here but if an artist sees 30% more money from Tidal streams than other services then the flat monthly rate of tidal should be 10% or 15% less. Also just like many monthly services do reward someone for buying a 1 year pass to tidal. So it would be about $119.88 for a full year month by month but make a full year of tidal $100 to lock you in for a years worth. Same thing with the $20 hifi. Its $240 month by month but make the price $215 or $220 if you sign up for a year.

Yes i know this joint is very very new and it will take time for things to improve. Nevertheless i hope in the coming months and years we start to see some of these options available. The cornerstone of Tidal for artists is you get paid a more fair price. So the first step for Tidal should be letting consumers pay a more fair price. Fuck a 3 month trial im taking about a month to month or yearly fair price.
 
When he acquired Aspiro, the change of ownership meant he had to renegotiate its streaming contracts with the three major record companies: Universal, Warner, and Sony Music Entertainment. Universal distributes the records of some of Roc Nation’s artists, so Jay Z was able to quickly reach an agreement with that company. But music industry people who are familiar with the negotiations and forbidden from discussing them publicly say that Sony and Warner are asking Tidal for large advances in return for the right to feature their artists’ catalogs. (None of the record companies would comment on Tidal.) A source close to Tidal said that the company’s financial condition is fine and that it reached a streaming rights deal in late May with Warner.

Nonetheless, if Jay Z can’t come up with the cash for Sony, he faces the possibility that Tidal might lose albums from some of its co-owners, most painfully Beyoncé, a Sony artist. “I’m pretty sure most of the artists that were at the press conference don’t control their own streaming rights,” says Peter Mensch, co-founder of Q Prime, the talent agency that manages the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica.

Damn at this...


Not gonna lie, his pivot towards the racism defense reminded me of his Occupy All Blocks fiasco. Didn't seem genuine, but at the same time, blacks face racism on all levels, not just in the streets. Hopefully he will expand offices to other countries like the States and hire more blacks, it's not like he didn't have blacks working for him at the Rocafella, Rockawear and Roc Nation.

yall know i been critical over tidal but what did you expect the Tidal staff to look like when he purchased a european streaming service? I jay supposed to say "fuck you white people i need an all black staff!" People are idiots sometimes.
 
Through the miscalculation and all, the attempt to guilt trip negros to sign up, Im gonna give my thoughts - I do something like this on the daily (not pumping my tires)

@sion @"black caesar" and others feel free to chime in.

•Jigga man needs to fall back, the heat is on him for the initial presentation of the company to the U.S. He needs to appoint someone else to be the spokesperson and create ads about the experience of using Tidal - sort of like that old phone commercial with artists fitting in a phone booth and someone yelling "Biggie, no!" The Apple watch ads get people, at least, curious about the product. $9.99 service should be the primary focus of ads

•Rumors are he isn't the majority or whatever but in the end, he needs to re-capitalize the business, he needs a big lump sum of money, the SoftBank deal didn't come through but something of the sort needs to happen to add liquidity. There's a difference between a company that records losing quarters (via accounting rules) and burns through cash. Seems like his competitors records losses but I'm not sure if they burn through $

•He may be able to access debt to hold Tidal over or if cash flows are sufficient, he can add debt (interest rates haven't been lower since I was born) and pay the owners a nice monthly dividend, so its a win win even if the user base doesn't increase as fast as he'd like - but this only works if the company can generate cash

•this is big business he's in, don't bring up race unless some one calls you a slur, say those things and how you really feel to your homies and your wife. Apple has a war chest and is going come after the streaming market
