Sorry Jay, I'm Not Buying It

[Barney Rubble]

Tidal has better profit sharing with it's artists than any other streaming service. That alone is enough reason to support. Yall really this upset about $10 Back in the nineties I did whatever I had to to buy two or three albums a week at $15 to $20 a pop and I was broke as fukk. Use it or don't who really gives a fukk

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.

I'd neg you to oblivion if I could, hating as biatch

Brehs you're 100% correct, we should be smart enough to see this for what it is....

Let them continue choking nikkas / we gon turn style / I ain't ya token nikka

If he doesnt speak out, hes a tap dancing kneegrow...

If he does speak out, its only for the money, he doesnt really care etc.

I guess its a lose lose situation either way when you reach that level of fame

Not really. It's the timing here that matters.

 

[jilla82]

y'all just seem like some hating ass kids.

him having money doesn't mean the issues in his life aren't real...
He may be paid to you...but in the world he is trying to get into...his pockets are short.

Every black person getting ahead is a win...for us all.
You should want Jay to win...It will make it easier for the next coming ahead.

We all don't need to be struggling.

How do you really feel about it young'n? Let that hatred flow out.

Tidal has better profit sharing with it's artists than any other streaming service. That alone is enough reason to support.

I gives two fukks about their profit sharing.

Where they teach this business model at? You can go to the grocery store and get the cheap bread, you can pay a little more and get the best bread. OR you can pay even more for this mediocre bread so the owner can get his Christmas bonus this year. FOH

Yall really this upset about $10 Back in the nineties I did whatever I had to to buy two or three albums a week at $15 to $20 a pop and I was broke as fukk. Use it or don't who really gives a fukk

Well why talk about anything at all if we have to reach somebody's arbitrary threshold of importance? It's my opinion and I felt like saying it.

It is?
WTF does Tidal's profit sharing have to do with me, the consumer?

Why do I care how many pennies madonna and Beyonce are making per stream?

I don't give a fukk about Beyonce or madonna but I do about indie artists who struggle to keep bringing us music. Do you know any artists? Ask them about their opinion on record sales and downloading. Nikkas pay for netflix without question but when it comes to music it's like

So you don't like supporting your favorite artists? You think music is free to make? You don't have countless memories and discussions about music? It's not important to you?

Your netflix comparison doesn't even make sense. People subscribe to Netflix because it's a service that benefits THEM, not because it'll make struggling actors/actresses more money. You can't say that for Tidal.

Your average person does not give a fukk how much struggling/indie artists are making nor should they. People have their own lives/problems to worry about. Show/Tell people how the service benefits THEM, and they will sign up. But telling people how much other people benefit from their coins is not how you get people to purchase your shyt. Is this a business or a charity?
