So Tidal really is a failure...

Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, J Cole, Daft Punk, Giant Mouse Head...all of them showed up at that press conference to be the face of the company so it is very stupid to blame the struggle only on Jay Z hate (and if everyone wants him to fail, how exactly does he manage to stay famous and make money ).

The only question that really matters is: Did you sign up for Tidal?

If not, then there is no argument

Taylor Swift wasn't there and isn't affiliated with Tidal to my knowledge.

this really will go down in history...as one of the most ill-conceived marketing ploy in history



they even had the gall to wear mink coats and drink champagne in this thing man...

Beyonce: "If our fans can see that it's from us, that's so important, and it's done."

 

[King Kreole]

Jay: "I spoke to a lot of different people outside of the industry, and everyone was like 'What took so long?!" This thing was the thing that everyone wanted and everyone feared. If these artists can sit in a room together, the game changes forever. And it happened today."

 

[Real N Quotes]

Tidal is a failure = Jay-Z is a failure

Maybe he owed somebody a favor to do this deal

Maybe it's all smoke and mirrors for something bigger

Swift was definitely promoting Tidal on her Twitter account. I'm pretty sure she was at the event.

They really thought they could get a bunch of rich fukks to advertise a service that's supposedly all about giving a fair share of music profits to the little guy, all while charging 2x spotify.

What if I told you that Beans didn't exist
And I put him there, played it like a ventriloquist?
Cause nikkas spit fake shyt and y'all respect it I spit that real shyt and y'all won't buy the record
What if me and the rapper homey was really cool
And we used that whole thing as a media tool?
Would you say I was a sucka or say I was savvy
If I told you mothafukka's that me and Bey wasn't married?
What if Bleek wrote my shyt and I'm really illiterate?
And the whole Tidal project was just an experiment?
What if I really died when BIG got shot?
This is Jaz rhyming right now while Jay-Z is chilling with 'Pac?
What If I didn't do all the advertisements thrown my way?
And I've boned every chick that would throw me some play I'd have to load another AK cause nikkas be jealous
Cause we real like them Brazil favelas

Ayy who is this?

she wasn't in any of the promo materials/video and she wasn't at the "historic" signing

This sh1t flopped so bad it had an inverse affect on Spotify.
Spotify's profits have gone up because of Tidal

Yep. He thought that getting a buch of popular celebs would convince stans/"real fans" to join. The people who would pay for tidal to support their fave already supported their fave by owning (buying) their music, so it wasn't a good idea to use that as the main marketing strategy. Tidal isn't offering anything new and people would rather stick with what they have already. I've heard a lot of them say that they don't want to give up their play lists on spotify. They also mentioned something about a student discount.



It's supposed to be "than", not "then".

yup, dude is out of his league and hes out of touch with society, hes not that same worldly street smart guy that he think he is....in reality hes a wealthy out of touch middle aged guy
