Jay promoted tidal as if it benefited artists mlre than anything which was true royalty wise I believe. It was never pro blackity black. The introduction of tidalnhad daft punk, jack white, madonna and coldplay in the vid
Y’all keep putting me in a position to argue a point I don’t agree with. Lol. Devils advocate
this jayz?? Bragging for 4 mins bout how he setting trends. Then goes into how he’ll never let THEM own OUR music. Then explains tidal is how you do this. Then proceeds to drop a freestyle further pushing ownership. Not taking checks. Not letting them be in control on our music. Him being the leader and essentially doing this for us. Turning down easy routes and google money. Blaming YouTube. Ownership ownership ownership......
Then sell to the white man for a check.
Those aren’t musicians in the crowd. That’s fans. He calling out nikkaS. Had to point out a white boy to say you my nikka too “tonight”. Yall know good and well how it was perceived and how he put it out there. Couldn’t he have pushed the product without that? Can’t all these companies push their product without pandering to BLM, like they did last year, while actually not doing shyt to help? Doesn’t jay typically rap about and push being a black man who owns shyt, then later sells it to white people? Usually for a job. Rocafella FAMILY to def jam ceo. Don’t buy Cris get ace.... to sell ace to a white man.
And to the other breh. I looked. Yea black people did follow his ass over there
And there is one demographic where Tidal is doing exceptionally well, according to data provided to Business Insider by
SurveyMonkey Intelligence, SurveyMonkey's new third-party app insights platform.
In March, 2016, analysts found that 45% of US Tidal app users identified as black, compared to 16% on Spotify, and 20% on Pandora.
White US users did not have as much of a presence on the service, comprising only 18% of users, compared to 40% on both Spotify and Pandora.
pump and dump. You think square gonna cater to black people and artists the same? Is it black owned? People are pushing keeping dollars black. Yea I see why they’d be upset. I saw it coming a mile away
