You slurring the type. You drunk?

A luxury car is more than style. Out the factory same year it's no competition. Closest non luxury brand to high quality was the VW phaeton and the Passat 2002-couple years back when they were just like Audi....then they dipped quality, dipped hp, and made it look tacky.

If the gap closed compared to luxury cars it must have been yesterday. But the gap has been closing over time...but 10yrs ago it was night/day across the board.
Nah I'm not drunk but if I was I can afford to be so :yeshrug:. Not trying to be funny but what are you talking about? I know its about the cars but what are you trying to say against what I said originally? Are you talking features what cause I'm honestly lost and I want to answer your question

I said a Benz is not a Hyundai with a different label. There are legit feature differences and legit safety differences.

Part of the reason why I just DO not really pay for music. I'll pay for your merch, pay to see you, pay for anything else. But this is a pipe dream for many small artists.

fukk I look like paying some monkey suit for something another person put their soul into. Let me hear the music then pay to see you tour, cuz I at least know you see more of that money.

Music isn't something you should be doing to get rich. That's what fukked the game up.
So what should be doing to get rich? Playing a sport? Being a surgeon? Creating a new app? You can literally apply that logic to almost anything. When you do not pay for music it is the engineer that is fukked. That engineers and writers are not getting that tour money. And with people on 360 deals, yes suits are getting some of that tour money too unless they are super indy. I have no idea what you and @Buckeye Fever are talking about.

I said the features in luxury cars are typically better which they are and as far as the safety I don't think there is much difference. A Benz or other luxury cars may get some safety feature a little earlier but it almost always trickles down to the other lesser cars. Seriously its probably not much big stuff safety wise that's on a luxury car that's not on a regular car. Not that people really care about that stuff big time anyway cause the safety stuff that is there is pretty good now.

The event was disgusting brehs, I have no problems with the app and shyt but they way they presented it was not nice. The fact that he summed the highest earners made it even worse.

To use words like culture and shyt, play on our emotions and shyt for a deal orchestrated by investment bankers and the richest artists is purely embarrassing. They disrespected the customer with that shyt..

No an African does not.. Multiple people have stake in it. But hey, keep fishing for daps. And just because a black person is the face of a business venture doesn't mean they can't be criticized. If anything, the criticism will help out the developers to deliver a product the average consumer will be interested in at an affordable price.

Every app or tech company receives or has recieved backlash by consumers. Whoever wrote this article is a consumer just like us. The criticism is valid.
He's not just the "face of the company", dude owns it.
This was established in another thread where that SKJ dude was proven wrong.

Jay-z wasn´t successful with the Rocnation ,so why does he think he is going to capitalize off of TIDAL. It seems like a rip off of Spotify or Rhapsody , not too original at all. And if anything, Jay-z seems like one of the vulturing corporate execs who jerk artists for their money.
Jay-z is already on a stale hustle, he needs to be more orginal with his, like making his own sports agency,he should of learned from Master P on how tedious that kind of work is.

How is he not successful with Roc Nation, when most albums released on there are gold or platinum in a time when not many do that? Also Roc Nation manages some of the biggest artists in the game, yet you label it unsuccessful?

Where do you cats come up with this shyt?

Because the chances of making ANY money doing music is slim to none. Same deal with sports.

Being a surgeon...if you made it through school, you are GOING to make money. You make an app, you are GOING to make (some) money. Its a fundamental thing. There is literally NO way for everyone to get paid doing it. EVERY surgeon is making money...you cannot say the same for musicians, because the infrastructure isnt there. On second thought, its IS there. It just isnt there to assist or pay the artist.

I tell people the same shyt with trying to get their kids in the fukking NBA. Sure it MAY happen, but the chances are so low that putting ALL your eggs in that basket is folly. So trying to be a musician for the SOLE purpose of making money is just as dumb. Now if you love the music, and the passion is in your shyt...I hope you can succeed, but even then its rare.

And If we are talking about hip-hop the artist IS the writer so :manny:

And artists make the VAST majority of their money from touring and endorsements :what:

ROC Nation sucks, all the credible names on the roster were already headliners before them signing,only new people they lightweight introduced is Meek Mill and Big Sean , who aren't really big names in a mainstream sense.

I'm not laughing at it being their first, I'm laughing because its funny as hell to think a video game system was used to play music. That was unheard of before that. I'm just thinking back that's all.
U right, just like ps3 was a lot of people first blu Ray player
