Video: Jay Z - Tidal B-Sides Freestyle *Bodies the music industry*

[JordanWearinThe45]

Didnt he do the only in america show in philly like this

Hell no. He did the shyt he normally does at that show

 

[xelp]

Sign with Barney's and become problack only if it means more money for you, brehs. "Fvck Jay-Z". YouTube and Spotify has done more for the consumer than Jay ever has.

 

[MasterSpliffter]

How does Police brutality equate to nikkas that are already rich wanting more money.

 

[karim]

so no that his business is flopping he gets socially conscious

 

[Mike Otherz]

im saying, why jay getting all this hate? didnt Dre do the same thing? noone went out their way to voice their disaproval of beats music...

where dre is a master is that he dont even acknowledge the bs. thats a jay flaw imho, dude is sensitive as fk in truth. dre and 50 dont even acknowlede the morality extortionists. what jay dont know is that every time he give them an inch, they want a foot. this ninja bailing out activists. and now they saying he only doing it to get Tidal to succeed. same ninjas was saying why jay dont mention baltimore a week ago? cats dont know what they want.

this is not saying he shouldnt follow his conscience, but cant get into bed with these social media revolutionaries.

Same thing happened when Jay started the sports agency, but cats on here will have you believe it's normal for attack articles to appear out of thin air whenever someone starts a new venture. Jay's hate on here is because people project themselves on every black celebrity. They're either corporate, whiny, not militant enough. People don't see that Tidal doing well is better for us because Apple/Google run digital music from the background like the gestapo.

I need Flex's takes on this.

I'm not the biggest fan of Jay-Z music. He's dope but not in my top 5 but somewhere in the top 10.

What I do respect is what he represents as far as hip hop making power moves. Same thing with Obama as the president. I'm not looking for them to do something special for me personally, and I don't need them to represent me as a black man. I can make my own moves. I respect the power moves they are making and opening eyes and options for the next generation. That's why I support the things that they do.

Are they perfect? No and I don't need them to be. nikkas need to stop celebrity jocking and looking for the next man to do everything the way you would want them to. If you want to change something make power moves and change it.

How does Police brutality equate to nikkas that are already rich wanting more money.

Freestyle was dope but the motivation behind Tidal was fake as fukk.
However I can see what he means, cacs don't like black people, rich or poor.
And really he's not even comparing them, he's merely stating that he can't really tell if we really got our full civil rights when he sees all the police brutality.

Steve Jobs said the iPhone 3G would revolutionize the world and that Apple works to make the world a better place and no one said shyt. Jay-z kicks the same BS on a even more humble level and the whole world (including myself) shytted on it. As if Apple isn't in existence solely to make money for its shareholders.

disappointing

 

[African Peasant]

"I'm a business, maannnn"

I can't trust him.

So I’m the bad guy now I hear, because I don’t go with the flow
Don’t ever go with the flow, be the flow
And I don’t need no middle man to talk to my nikkas
I understand if you don’t understand, I figure I’m Jigga
That’s where we differ
I take what’s mine, you accept what they they give you, I get you
I don’t take no checks I take my respect
Pharrell even told me go with the safest bet
Jimmy Iovine offered a safety net
Google dangled around a crazy check
I feel like Youtube is the biggest culprit
Them nikkas pay you a tenth of what you supposed to get
You know nikkas die for equal pay right?
You know when I work I ain't your slave right?
You know I ain't shucking and jiving and high fiving
You know this ain't back in the days right?
But I can't tell, like the way they killed Gray right
Shot down Mike Brown how they did Tray right?
Let them continue choking nikkas
We gonna turn style, I ain't your token nikka
You know I came in this game independent right?
Tidal, my own lane, same difference
Oh nikkas is skeptical as their own shyt
You bought 9 iPhones and Steve Jobs is rich
Phil Knight worth trillions you still bought those kicks
Spotify is 9 million they ain't say shyt
Lucy you got some splaining to do
The only one they hating on look the same as you
I know they trying to bamboozle you
Spending millions on media trying to confuse you
I had to talk to myself, Hov you used to it
It's politics as usual
