I think Jay's biggest issue is TIDAL seems like it's strictly marketed for Urban Consumers. I see exclusives from Nicki & Rihanna & Jay, etc... but what if you don't care about them? What if you like Rock Music? Country?

Jay is really banking on him & Beyonce's popularity being the drive behind Tidal & he might be a little delusional to think people care that much about them...
Maybe those other artists aren't down like that and thought it was quick money grab on some sucker fans. The only person outside of Jay-Z going hard for Tidal is Jack White.

Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about at all. Tidal has been out for years. It was founded in 1998 under "aspiro". 500K of Tidal's current 700K subscribers come from that original era before "Tidal, Jay-z". They sold it because it wasn't succeeding.
what year did tidal get released to the public.....

only thing I got from this thread: you're a c00n if you don't support jay and tidal; and you're a c00n if you do support jay and tidal....yea, think it's time for people to stop using that word lol.....

as for the article: calling it the biggest disaster in music history is exaggerated bullshyt, which even the article points out, so no one should take this shyt serious....all this comes off as is a smear campaign, which is what happens in business....I do find the tactic they using a bit interesting/odd though....they saying consumers shouldn't buy tidal cause it'll help make jay more money, and you rarely see that with other businesses.....you dont see 'dont buy such and such cause it's gonna make the ceo more money' campaigns...but for whatever reason, people tend to be eating it up....like arsenio used to say: things that make you go hmm?....

Tbh I don't know much about business I'm just not a fan of the smear campaign that the media has been running against tha gawd

the white media and business has been sucking hovs dikk for years and he's been happy to eat it up and trot out next to which ever rich white man that's willing to stuff his pockets for the opportunity to stand next to hov and seem cool for a PR boost.

Which would pretty much prove they really didn't "care" about what Tidal was suppose to stand for... but $12.99 for Nicki Minaj pop record "exclusives"... :heh:

It's jays own fault he played up the rich ceo role too much. Nobody is going to listen to him talk about the artist when dude is seen as corporate to people.
