Dame would know what to do with Tidal

[trillanova]

No, he wouldn't. Because Dame is self destructive and destroys everything he touches.

But I def agree Tidal could use a better direction. I used to work at a medical practice, and every year the doctor would send us to these wack conferences about how you could increase your patient total by 100% if you just follow these easy steps. They were always bullshyt gimmicks and wack business ideas. One year we went to a less expensive conference tho, and this dude presented an idea that the OP of this thread touched on. He said the money is in your practice. You gotta make sure you maximize the patients you have, make sure none fall through the cracks, and get them to bring their family members. Far less expensive and grand of an idea than any of the "get patients quick" schemes we saw in the past.

That's what Tidal needs. They aren't gonna beat Spotify. It's time to look at what Netflix is doing. Netflix recognizes what their audience wants - for instance true crime documentaries - and produces it. Tidal should be focusing on content that their existing subscribers want, beyond just "hey here's an exclusive Hov album out of nowhere." I don't know what that content is, since I'm not looking at their data. I'd love for it to include music documentaries though. B-sides from Hov and other artists as well.

It's 10-15x's times more expensive trying to acquire new customers than it is to maintain your current clients. That's one of the most sacred rules in business. The problem with Tidal is they're using music as a limited commodity that's only valuable as long as it's exclusive. They're trying to lure in valuable customers with album releases. They'll never retain long term users like that. They'll keep seeing spikes in growth and then spend resources and time trying to accommodate people that are exhausting the platform only for awhile.
Apple has thier subscriber base built in platforms which is the device. Spotify has tenure and seniority. Tidal can't play the numbers game. They don't have the channels volume wise to play that game. However, they still can brand themselves as the platform they pitched on initially.

Saying Dame is self destructive and destroys everything he touches is false and a dangerous way to speak about someone that has given so much to modern hip hop culture. He's had his hand in some of the dopest movements artist wise than anybody else. Of course people want to bring up Motor Oil to try and play him when they don't want to do the intellectual work and recall all the shyt he made hot and was a catalyst to. I'm not saying he's perfect but he has the brains and the brawn that's needed today especially. He can look at the artist, the songs, the packaging, the numbers and spit out a solution. Plus he's not a guy that's going to let anyone slander him and be so comfortable about it without checking them. This is exactly who Tidal needs.

Everybody talking funny and trying to play the man has no idea what they're talking about.

Dame is the better businessmen but Jay does business better.

What does this mean exactly? I mean it sounds good, but when you actually think about it...how is it possible to be the better businessman and not do the best business? Jay gets a lot of looks because he's the celebrity, but he probably could've got a lot more out the deals if his acumen was on the level of Dame's.

Dame shuld stay where he is

 

[tuckgod]

Jay ain’t never letting Dames crazy ass back in.

Dame spazzing out on people got him eventually blackballed.

I’m pretty sure Jay would never bring that environment to Tidal.

No, Jay being a bytch ass nikka and letting them white boys play them against each other is what got Dame blackballed.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Realistically if Dame was on video screaming on white execs in 2018, I feel like the social media crowd would definitely be on his side


People need to stop underestimating Biggs - everybody always says how smart he is (not sure if he is really involved in Tidal or just RocNation). Dame has no tact in how he goes about it so he destroys relationships


I'm sure Jay will somehow come out ahead, he has a good team. Tidal seems fukked but I'll keep using it when I can

 

[Surreal]

It's a streaming service. It can't succeed

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

There's really nothing to do with tidal except continue to offer a strong product. Spotify has the first mover advantage, Google and Apple has endless cash and users built in to their ecosystem.

Just continue to grab the audiophile and "wanna support jay z" crowds and keep it movin.

Also, some people said you can import playlists and likes from other services, if it's easy to switch, they need to make that known. That's a big barrier to overcome.

tidal does do the stuff h talking bout tho.


It has tons of content


Streets is watching dvd and jay s. Collection is on there. A bunch of mixtapes are on there also

Don’t forget they picked up money and violence also

 

[Standing on business]

Dame is the better businessmen

Everything dame has done after rocafella has failed but people still want to believe this


Dames biggest check right now is coming from growing up hiphop where all he does is talk to his son about substance abuse.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

Bey you can't name it without googling it.

You right. I can't.

Only people who have not accomplished anything would say dame failed after the roc left.
He has successfully funded movies and albums under his independent media collective DD172
including shyt shyt he didn't get credit for (Lee Daniels filmography )

 

[Tom Foolery]

I agree. Jay wants to be the CEO but not the entrepreneur. He does a bad job of pushing the brand.

Dame has that entrepreneurial grind. He got that battery and would push everyone to say tidal 100 times a day, Address bullshyt article trashing the business. Jay is not that dude. Too quiet and shy to impact people.

Jay seems like he just wants to be court side at NBA game.

 

[lamont614]

I love tidal but for the past week my shyt had not been working

Search twitter if you don’t believe me only reason I haven’t switch over

I’m using a 90 day free with Spotify..
Tidal only one with Future monster mixtape
I swear tidal music stream be louder?

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Dame is the better businessmen but Jay does business better.

Nah, the folks on his team do business better

 

[vdfebduderocks]

Nah, the folks on his team do business better

folks on his team? Who put them in a position to make those decisions?

 

[Nigerianwonder]

Tidal is doin just fine and has already been around longer than any venture Dame has tried to start after splitting with Jay.
