i think he just launched this in the hopes that spotify or google buys him out with a huge payday.
Wouldn't that be assuming this does reasonably well? If it remains at $20/mo there's no way it'll even cause a dent in market share.

this this this
they can't be serious at that price point...disco might have a point on just wanting to be bought out but courage is right too, how is this gonna do well unless it's free on certain devices soon?
also reminds me of that music service reznor & dre talked about years ago, wonder what happened there
Tidal just added a $10 option. $20 gets you better quality
Step towards the right direction. Spotify's Student discount still ain't having me budge.

Possible Kanye album premiering on this ?
could be. The streaming war will be crazy especially with Apple being next. Imagine Dre dropping Detox exclusively through Apple's streaming service.

He'd probably bundle some Beats (Detox Edition) Headphones.
I'm gonna buy his shit from iTunes anyway, but I hope it's not a TIDAL exclusive. That wouldn't be very smart of him.

All this segmentation brehs. Enjoy Spotify while it lasts before we get exclusive album streams on different services. Exclusive on Tidal, Spotify and Google Play brehs. It's going to happen the end is nighhhh!!!!

okay sure but your record's gonna look a lot shinier when you actually stay retired instead of, you know, coming back to play for the wizards

Kanye's waiting for Tidal's $5, 192k poorly mastered option.

Heard he was talking to Ralph and Virgil about how doing that is what Walt Disney would do if he was doing music.

Imagine a universal 20 dollar monthly fee that took care of music, TV and movies. With no licensing bullshit and exclusivity with other services
This is the dream brehs

The big news was another goddamn streaming service? At 20 bucks? Yeah, for a smart dude, acting like customers just weren't paying enough and the artists needed more is a pretty fucking dumb observation. If he finds a way to cut the artists more, offer up a bigger selection and keeps it more competitive with Spotify et al., it may survive. Otherwise, it'll be DOA.
Yet music consumption will remain the same for about 98% of the internet...
The whole streaming service thing anyway. If it gets to be to the point where I have to sift through a bunch of bullshit services to find exclusive music, I'll be forced to stop subbing all together.
I imagine I'm not the only one who feels this way. The whole shebang might implode on itself when the number of services plus all of the exclusivity makes it not worth it.

+1 - i stream a lot but keep what i like, and even if the latter was the case, someone will capture it

Do they offer a free webplayer like Spotify?
^This guy gets it
It's like Car Service which was one of their best collabo's back in the day.

5 minutes later it will end up as a bunch of .m4a files somewhere anyway
This is good. Real good. Fuck Kanye when Jay drops that collab with Bey on Tidal he's going to set the subscription game on fire.
The board at apple have to one up Jay. Can't go back to that u2 gimmick. They're going to turn to Dre, with the mannerisms of a carter 3 era Birdman and say 'so about that detox.'
We about to eat brehs.

Haha, it's like reaaally similar. It's dope.
It also looks a lot shinier when you have people doing a lot of your creative work for you, including having people like Jay-Z writing some of your biggest hits.
you become a man?

wasn't ready for potent ether this early in the day brehs.
Only plebes want to hear Dre read rap lines over slightly revamped Chronic 2001 sounding beats in 2015.

Nah, this happens younger than in Canada here
that's cuz the process up there is way more grueling tho
If Blackace were here dudes blood pressure would leap by 50 points but...
Is there any rap artist more loved and accepted for having their shit ghostproduced, ghostwritten, ghostrapped(? vaguely remember you mentioning this) than Dr. Dre? I think not brehs. The things that people used to wholly slate other artists for, fans shrugged off because....... 'he's a producer' innit? He 'defined the sound of a scene' right?
