Kanye going in on Apple? Says Tidal & Apple beef is killing the industry

[drugxglory]

this fruitcake could have called , or sent all this via group message

This WWF shyt really killing the game

im sayin, nikkaz act like they dont have connects

 

[Juneya]

He's right. People are finally paying for music again instead of pirating, and then the services release exclusives what leads to people pirating again. I pay 10 a month for my Spotify account, but still had to download Views, Pablo and Major Key illegally to name a few to listen to them upon release. It's fukking up the game

Spotify just lost. You need to switch.

So all this shyt was a ploy for Jay to blow up his lil music service then force Apple to buy it once it became competition?

Everything's a hustle to these nikkas

 

[tuckgod]

I don't use all of them to accurately weigh an opinion, but Apple Music is top 10 purchases of my life so far lol.

They just need to let you download to your offline library tho

I keep trying to tell folks breh..

This streaming war really is fukking up the game

[RhymesWell]

Kanye doing too much as usual these days. I like the competition between the streaming companies.

 

[Teko]

What if Apple did the ultimate f you and decide not to carry Tidal on iOS?

Say hi to anti-trust issues that you cant win They'd be doing this btw if it was up to them

 

[Teko]

Great points. Other commentators are looking at this at the surface level. Minority owners of Tidal may not admit it over there but they have to be losing plenty money. Especially Beyoncé. That's why she had the tour planned before dropping that album. CDs and download sales are falling and riding for her husband is causing her to lose big money via streaming so she had to tour.

Ye is saying it without saying it.

I get Jay Z's gamble which was he thought all these artist-owners' fans were going to transfer over to them. It backfired.

Thats for the lowdown on why Beyonce decided to tour. What is Blue eating for breakfast this morning?

Tidal is reportedly on 4.2 million subscribers with 45% on the hifi option. Thats a good growth rate for a relatively new independent streaming company. Apple, like all dominant players before it will have its day. Are they even the biggest selling smartphone maker on the planet?

Smartphone Vendor Market Share, 2015 Q2
The worldwide smartphone market grew 13.0% year over year in 2015 Q2, with 341.5 million shipments, according to data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker. This growth is primarily due to gains experienced in emerging markets such as APEJ and MEA. This quarter's shipments were slightly lower than forecast and IDC expects to see a noticeable slowdown in smartphone shipments in 2015 as China joins North America and Western Europe in a more mature growth pattern. Android dominated the market with an 82.8% share in 2015 Q2. Samsung reasserted its global leadership with a renewed focus on lower-cost smartphones.

I fukk with Spotify
Of course they are a business but they also seem to be the only ones who cares about giving us good music and not just make a quick buck on it.

They invented this shyt and also pushed it to wherei it is today

 

[spliz]

Honestly Kanye is right in this instance. Streaming was cool until they started all that exclusive bs. Now they pull albums from services and u have to sign up to a different service to access certain music. It breaks everything up and doesn't benefit the consumer at all. And ain't nobody tryna pay 10-20 bucks a month for multiple services just to access all the music they want. I'm still mad Zune didn't get the props it deserves for starting all this music streaming shyt. And it had the biggest library by far. U could get fukkin rare mixtapes on Zune.

Exactly what I was thinking,thought Jay was your big brother

That CAC scooter is his manager now. Prolly in his ear. Devils coming between black solidarity.

You can download to your offline library

Streaming was NEVER cool...

Because it changed the business model that artists could generate revenue from

and two it deprived the fans the right to actually own the music they purchased......

at least with the downloads you had the content for your own use at your own will

with streaming the music is just THROWN OUT THIER to the wind litearly in the cyber world...

so eventually the LABEL HEADS was gonna find a way to consolidate all this shyt... (control it)

and that's what led us to where we at now which is SUBSCRIPTION based music...basically music in bundles

they basically NETFLIXed the music game

and what's sad is they TOLD us they were gonna do this...we been warned by two big music honchos

it was no secret....

Doug Morris publically told YOUTUBE that him and Universal want in on the ad revunue on those YOUTUBE STREAMS and just like magic VEVO was created...

MARC GEIGER publically announced that SUBSCRIPTION MUSIC is the way to go and that labels don't need to be spending any more promotionial and marketing money on artists like they did before especially the Catalog artists of the past....

as he stated and i quote..."we provide the file and we just sit back and collect the $$$"

see these boys ain't fukking around.......the GAME is too big for Kanye to comprehend .....

these whiteboys building "space stations" ...yeezy is still playing "playstation"

that's why JAY needs to hollar at AL HAYMON

he know that SCRILLA is right

but i guess JAY is still tight over what AL alledgedly did to his wife
