Tidal benefits ME because it provides lossless music whereas no other streaming site does. It also provides exclusive content, just like netflix and it's adding more constantly. The fact that it helps support my favorite artists is a bonus. Netflix does support indie filmmakers and helps keep struggling tv shows on the air by picking up part of their budgets. I know people that are subscribed to netflix for those reasons alone otherwise they'd just hit up thepiratebay or whatever.
so what!?
So you've never bought something to support someone? You're that selfish? I hope you never complain about the state of hiphop because you don't have much of a right to. I hope you get to talk to one of your favorite rappers one day and ask about much money they really make or how much an album really costs to make and then tell them why you deserve it for free.
I agree he should put more Indie artists up front but he was using celebrity endorsement to grab attention. But the profit sharing is all the same. Freddie Gibbs gets just as much from his music as Kanye does on there.
Leone days or weeks after the release.
The state of hip hop is dependent on my subscription to Tidal, now? LMAO.
exactly these clowns are getting paid to hate. thats the only reason i can think of. unless they are white or just some self hating black folks that still doesnt understand the difference between chess and checkers.all this emotion over a product you don't want
Well that's what the music business is now because everybody damn sure knows how to get it for free. So if you choose to buy music then you're choosing to support. If you actually buy albums then that's dope and props to you. I don't have space or need for cd's anymore so thousands of lossless albums on Tidal works for me.The state of hip hop is dependent on my subscription to Tidal, now? LMAO.
I actually buy albums. I buy them because I find VALUE, WORTH, and USE for them. I don't see any in Tidal, thus I wont support. I guess buying albums instead of Tidal makes me selfish.
As for your first question, again, is this a business or a charity? If your business plan is simply based on people just buying to "support you" as opposed to the benefit if provides to them, you're not going to be in business very long.
You find no use for CDs (you can buy albums without buying physical CD's) and that's your right, and by that same token why can't you understand that some (obviously the VAST majority of) people don't find any use for Tidal? No need to lay the guilt trip on them.
I only have issue with people on some "fukk artists they dont deserve my money they're all rich anyway" bullshyt. Some nikkas really poor their blood and sweat into making hiphop and get almost no thanks for it. People feel entitled to music and wanna start smear campaigns over trivial amounts of money. I'm cool with some artists and I get sick of people putting no value on their hard work. Anyway, I'm done with this thread, I hope you keep supporting your favorite rappers out of respect and not guilt. Peace
