    Tidal has gone eerily quiet of late, apart from statements of support from Nicki Minaj and Madonna, and the word is that Jay Z is looking to get out. This ambitious undertaking has cost him millions of his own money because he never got the expected funding, he still hasn’t paid the licensing fees to the rights holders and no one is likely to throw him a life preserver and bail him out, so he has little choice at this point except to stop the bleeding. What will his exit strategy look like? Interesting to note that it’s not Apple, Sony, UMG or WMG that could be putting the final nail in the Tidal coffin, but Cash Money’s Slim and Baby Williams, with their copyright-infringement suit against the service for its recent exclusive with alienated label artist Lil Wayne.

    Nah I just mean to explain the bare bones idea that Akio mentioned, 'cause obviously no one told him how backwards the ideology is and how non-profitable it will be.

    yeah wow, ive honestly been holding on to the idea that theres some vague bigger plan jay z has in the works that puts the horrible descion to get involved with Tidal into perspective

    but i guess not lol...how the f--- a business man like jay couldnt see that a $20/month streaming service was a dogshit idea from the start
