Jay-Z
The Judiciary Report has it on
good authority that music industry executives are not happy
with Jay Z and Madonna's weird music streaming service
Tidal. The company was formerly named Aspiro and purchased
by a handful of entertainers, led by Jay Z and Madonna.
Tidal did a very poor roll out of Rihanna's flopped album
"Anti" last month. Universal Music, the parent company of
Jay Z's Roc Nation, which Rihanna is signed to, slammed
Tidal for it, publicly labeling them "incompetent."
Rihanna's album sold 460 copies in the first week, which is
a dismal failure for a major label artist.
Fraud transpired in the second
week and "Anti" allegedly sold 124,000 copies, which is
still half the numbers her albums usually debut with on the
charts. However, the numbers still don't sound right. To
sell 460 copies in two days, then all of a sudden 124,000 in
the five day proceeding it, indicates outright fraud and a
buying team or hacking. That is the strangest sales pattern
ever seen in music. No album has done that in music history,
indicating the numbers are completely fake. The album is
dead on arrival anyway, due to it being a poor recording
with no hits or meaning.
Kanye West
They've lost approximately
$30,00,000 in sales due to Jay Z's nonsensical foolishness.
Samsung bought 1,000,000 copies of "Anti" for $1 each, but
that works out to nothing in the face of the exorbitant
costs of recording the long delayed album and the cut
agents, managers, producers and music publishers receive.
The deal with Samsung being worth $25,000,000 is a
lie. They have been promised far less money and those funds
are to book arenas and hire staff for a tour.
Last week, the roll out of Kanye
West's album "The Life Of Pablo" was botched, ending up as
another so-called leak under the misdirection of the
rapper's mentor, Jay Z. The leak was done it such a way that
it was easily ripped and uploaded to illegal music download
sites such as Pirate Bay (why is Pirate Bay still operating
- they are flagrantly breaking international law).
As a result, the album "The Life
Of Pablo" has been illegally downloaded 500,000 times,
costing West and company an estimated $10,000,000. After the
rigged leak by Jay Z, West announced that the album "The
Life Of Pablo" will no longer be for sale and only available
on Tidal. It is another desperate attempt by Jay Z and
Madonna to keep floundering Tidal going at artists' expense.
Furthermore, Apple Music streaming is a far superior product
that is trouncing Tidal in the sales department.
Copyright stealing Rihanna sporting a new haircut
and weave this past week. How Ironic is it that I
gave my mother that same haircut A MONTH prior. A woman twice your
age wore it better than you (LOL). But yea, Rihanna, you're so
cutting edge and such a trendsetter (sarcasm). Seriously though,
that haircut looks better on someone with a human sized
forehead, rather than an alien one like Rihanna (LOL).
Tidal is a failure and one the
music industry is tired of in many ways. People are signing
up for free trials (having to provide their credit card/bank
card number) and then canceling as soon as the time expires,
as it is a very poor service. Many have complained their
credit cards/bank cards were charged anyway after closing
their Tidal account, prompting financial disputes (Tidal
Ripped Off Consumers Fraudulently Charging The Credit Cards
Of Former Customers Who Closed Their Music Streaming
Accounts).
The music industry brass dislike
free albums and leaks. It drives down overall album sales
and averages. Many music industry executives are angry at
Tidal and want the company to go. It is not empowering
artists. It is being run by crazy cultists with no
understanding of business and are devoid of a balanced
perspective. For the industry to survive there needs to be
solid sales, not botched releases and weird album roll outs
that confuse the public.

Kanye’s botched album release costs him $10M
February 17, 2016 | 12:10am - Kanye West’s
troubled release of his latest album, “The Life of Pablo,”
has already cost the hip-hop star at least $10 million in
sales, a review of estimated pirated downloads on Tuesday
revealed. TorrentFreak, which tracks music piracy and
file-sharing, reported that West’s album was illegally
downloaded more than 500,000 times in the first 24 hours of
its Feb. 14 release. That made it the most ripped-off album
by far on The Pirate Bay and other file-sharing sites...
West also planned to offer album downloads
for $20 on his kanyewest.com site. If each of the 500,000
persons illegally downloading the album would have bought it
for the $20 selling price, Kanye would have pocketed $10
million in revenue.
