Spotify has 20 million subs and they have yet to turn a profit. There are alot of people who think streaming services are a poor investment because of the high cost of the music.
That doesn't mean anything, Spotify is raising cash like nothing. Spotify is investing a lot to get where they want to be. They could stop investing and try to make it work with what they have.

Nah, Spotify profits now but otherwise I see your point. But I can't be mad the move.

Dame was never anybody who could do anything worthwhile that Jay couldnt have done with someone else.. All Dames accomplishments are attributed to Jay being hot. Nothing more

And yeah, Im not celebrating his misfortunes. We need more blacks in power... But this guy bragged about not wearing the same socks twice. Arrogant ass dude in his day...
so whatever...


To be honest. Most successful entrpreneurs have more failure than success. You probably fail 85% of the time with many businesses. It's not easy at all. Can't use that as a gauge for anything.

That said, Jay was the talent and Dame was the business and push. Together they made it. Can't take that away no matter what.

Instead of building an empire with Dame, he flees to Europe and got finessed by them nordic cacs for a bootleg music streaming service. Sad day. Should have used the 57mil and created a music and movie publishing and production company for new artists.

Moron is just hustling backwards.
Dame needed a check so bad he went on Family Therapy reality TV show...
Hush nikka!

I've never seen a company grow so popular almost entirely based on business decisions that were all questionable to say the least

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
Yeah camel face got hit with that pump fake and now he salty sounds like


Lol. Just cause you sue someone doesn't mean you're salty man...dude might just feel like he got misled on the deal and rather have his $15M back for his investors.

He may be the face of it but he's not the only one vested

You don't think it woulda been better if he woulda caught this before he bought tidal in the first place tho? I'm sure this happens in business but to act like it's an ideal situation don't make sense

This is true but a lot of the business Ventures that the Roc was involved with were still his ideas.

Rocawear, the Movie deal with Miramax/lionsgate whatever, etc.

He did need Jay's starpower to make them take off, but that's not a knock on his business acumen. Because they could've easily still failed with Jay.
