Sources reportedly told TMZ that the exclusive rights to Yeezy’s 7th LP doubled the services subscriptions, jumping them up from roughly 1 million to 2.5 million in just 10 days’ time. The operation has been so successful, that Ye’s team is reportedly discussing a traditional digital and physical release of the album, now that the streaming puts TIDAL in position to potentially add up to $15 million in revenue.

My homie bout to switch from apple jus because of the visuals tidal has on top of the music
I like tidal they offer videos series concerts plus the music and other things an u don’t have to pay for the premium the standard version works fine Kingsmen White Joe Franklin
Right now Jay is trying to feed the Hiphop world with his Tidal service but artist like Rihanna and Beyoncé will need a broad audience of music on Tidal to keep the customers coming back or they will cut their subscriptions. I have friends of all cultures here in Atlanta and sometimes I will look at their apple playlist and they will all kinds of music in there. They are the reason that I started listening to more types of music
Joe Franklin you could just post one blog a week and go at it for seven days straight. That one post would generate a lot of hits. Let’s say you get a penny a hit and you are getting 500,000 hits a week
Well J and Tidal have timing on their hands with the social media platform. Back in the day when J was signed to def jam/ Roc these labels had to pay al of for promo and marketing to let the world know that an album was coming now not can be done with the push of a button on social media with access to the whole world. This is also
What I was taking to some folks in Ohio about dong when I first got into blogging and I wish I would of had the funds to pull it off Larry Thomas
He basically eliminating the middle man greedy big business record labels flat only give artist pennies per cd…. Jay-Z basically did what all the black record labels were tying do before all of them got federally indicted to break up their plans to format a giant black owned label that would’ve cut out all of the white old Jewish owned labels from continuing to control all earned interest in their music…..he basically actually is doing what Lucius Lyons did in the sitcom power….that’s why they didn’t want him going public in that TV show it gives power back to the artist and money Kingsmen H Bruno
Lol I’m too opinionated and argumentative. I’d be stuck on one subject for weeks. I’m petty
Joe you should get you a blog
That’s another perk I would add for vip members. An option for a physical CDs. I’m learning from this promo tour that it’s a lot of folks that love CDs and half the world don’t even use or check their social media
I like a physical copy of a Jay Z album… cd quality/ lossless… no difference to me.. I dont use headphones so I can’t tell
I want to up my collection of physical CDs and buy what I can and save them. I still have my old Jay CDs. I wish I had some rap vinyl
Do you buy them for quality or you just like a physical copy?
No lie. I hate that Jay is Tidal because that’s the only artist I actually buy physical albums for. If he goes all digital I might have to hit the street peddlers.
the adds are coming w/ free service
Going to have to have more than one service pretty soon if we want to hear everything
That’s why they are killing the game right now. Charge more and give them less. Once Beyoncé go over there it’s a wrap. I use apple everything
Another thing Tidal doesnt have is something like Spotify Connect….like I have my house wired for sound so whatever I have on my Spotify on my phone all I have to do is send that to my surround sound receiver and it’s going through the whole house… then when I leave my house and start my car it’s going to pick up exactly where I am on the song…. like Apple AirPlay
Once Shy gets her first schedule for college make sure you get the student discount it’s half off of Tidal or Spotify
Spotify>>>>Tidal…. I pay $4.99 and listen to just about anyone I want and if I can’t find them the streets got it
You can’t have tidal without premium … they don’t have a free service like Spotify does they have a free trial for 7 days
Joe Franklin if you pay for premium you are giving them your add money upfront so you don’t have to see them
he is making a killing without the Premium
No ads on Tidal Premium
I think Kim has a big fuckin’ booty, and this is the reason of Kanye’s success
Spotify is still better
I personally think the artist should make more money for their work. It’s no secret that they have been pumped for years. Yes they are a better paid now than back then. But you also have to see that the guys that don’t contribute to the art are 200x more wealthy than the actual creators.
That’s what I’ve been saying. I’ve been supporting since its launch. A few bucks and I pretty much get most albums that come out. Unless they are like apple exclusives and then you have to wait until the record labels release the music for other streaming services.
i see that happening fam, interesting tho
Send me a bio and press kit to kingsmen@kingsmenmedia.com
H Bruno Nfo they said Beyoncé is on her last album and then a joint album is coming w/ Jay Z. They are in talks to resign Beyoncé and she will hold out until they put up at least 50-75 million to resign her or she can just sign w/ Roc Nation. Do you have any idea how many people would subscribe if her music is ONLY on Tidal. Lol we are talking about millions worldwide would sign up to hear music and see videos from her.
Good lookin
Most artist don’t see any bread from cd sales and make money off of touring. He is picking artist that know how to use social media for promo and marketing. Look at Kanye. He used his Twitter to talk and promote the album. Can you imagine how much break iTunes would make from the album and the rest would go to his label
Checking it out now Lawrence James
different , but if its more profit for the artist then it makes sense lol
Ilyas Boussik what do you think bro?
It says $15 million increase in revenue for Tidal. They reduce the cost for physical CDs and tidal can give them a huge payday for an album which they wouldn’t see from a label. Let’s say he gave Kanye $2 million for the album plus a cut from the total streams from that album plus he can do a concert and tour. He doesn’t have to sell any physical CDs because they are getting paid from the advertisement on those streams and new subscriptions H Bruno Nfo Larry Thomas

One album deal so far. Cut out the price of physical CDs and more profit for the artist and tidal.
True now t.i …that was interesting didn’t think he’ll make that move
H Bruno Nfo we talked about this and it’s here!
Ayman Boussik
That show good!!! H Bruno
1.3 million views for the money & violence series that came out on tidal too that’s whatsup
I knew it too…..
