This is the next legitimate move for Apple if they want to be a contender and chip away at Spotify.. Tidal has done really well with their "exclusives" and this is the reason why Apple NEEDS Spotify. If Apple was able to offer exclusives from Jay, Kanye, Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna, etc; this could be the push they need to turn the cards in their favor (from Spotify.)
Gotta applaud Jimmy Iovine for realizing this.

i hope this happens for all the self-righteous "i'm supporting Hov" ass nikkas to realize you've been supporting a fukking corporation, regardless of who made it a household name.

As long as there is a brother/sister involved.... I don't give a fukk......

Oh... You want black folks to give they money to whom they've always given it too huh?

Apple's lucky Spotify is still thriving and growing despite Apple Music being around, otherwise U.S. government would likely reject this Tidal purchase out of potential monopoly problems.

Tidal doesn't have 1% of the streaming customers, the gov not stepping in for this :heh:

If this is true I listen to Jay Z rap about selling crack, killing people, evading taxes, and fukking Nas's wife, so there's really nothing I'm going to act morally outraged over.
Otherwise I would have dropped Jay after Occupy All Streets.
This affects me in no way shape or form.

I thought Hov wanted Tidal so artists could get a better cut and the fruits of their labor? :upsetfavre:
How we know that isn't part of the negotiations? As a matter of fact, if thats what was laid out in the artists contracts with Tidal, then it would still have to stand.Apple would have to honor existing contracts.
