Sorry Jay, I'm Not Buying It

[sporticus]

I fukks with Jay, but I'm not stupid. He's trying to co-opt the press on Tidal and turn it into a Big Man vs. Little man, underdog, black vs. white type of rap feud. He's trying to politic the narrative and make it about the evil white corporation vs. the poor black hustler from Marcy trying to fight the system.

No Jay. You got caught being greedy and out of touch. You don't get to "come home" and make it a hip-hop thing. You don't get to trot Sigel out on stage under the guise of being that relatable dude that's about us.

This ain't about slavery, this ain't about Mike Brown, you don't get to make a martyr of yourself by mentioning those things when it's convenient. The nerve of using those terms while promoting a service that's all about charging more of my hard earned money to provide an inferior product and line your pockets.

You compete with Spotify by providing a better service or a cheaper service, like anything else in the market.

you're right,

but you don't get to decide what strategies will be effetive

 

[wet landscapes]

all this emotion over a product you don't want

 

[MouseTeeth]

You're right OP...and the free market will dictate what service is better and when the dust settles it will clearly b spotify

I'm a Jay fan too, but I can't just let this type of thing go un-said.

I'm not hoping Tidal fails, but blatant manipulation is blatant manipulation, whether I'm a fan or not.

I don't like the "race card" used unnecessarily but it does seem like some of the negative press toward Jay has been well timed and calculated during this tidal wave...(don't ask me how)

Regardless of how the business model needs to be tweaked (and it does) I don't think it's far fetched to say that he's competing with companies that really don't want to share the market with anybody else, especially somebody black.

Even if it's exaggerated it's a good spin on some of the L's he's taken as of recent and the way he delivered it should have some positive effect. These corporate cacs wouldn't hesitate to do the same.
