    1. IcebergDaddy says:

      How is Tidal a flop after a month it takes time for anything to be a successful. MCHG came out 2013 by the way and worst album of the year of 2013 was Yeezus. Birdman is networth $170M Jayz is Networth $560M if u want to talk about money, you see how I just killed your arguments by your own words.

      1. So Icy Boi! says:

        Birdman is richer den Jay-Z. he owns an oil field. forbes lyin. swag

        1. tye says:

        2. MR. UNDI$PUTED THE MOGUL says:

          …..THEY ACTUALLY LET YOUR DUMB ASS OUT OF THE LOONEY BIN!!!!! SOMEONE KEEP THE COPS OR FEDS ON SPEED DIAL!!!

      2. Guest says:

        You’re arguing with somebody who writes “swag” at the end of their posts! Do you really think that you’re going to get your point across?

      3. GetReal says:

    1. Strong Enough says:

      you’re

  6. Peekay says:

    Love this idea other than the Tidal thing. D’Evilz, 2 Many Twos, Streets is Watching, A million & one would be so dope live.

  7. john says:

    the rap radar crew must fangirl like a bunch of bieber fans

  8. SMH says:

    Disgusting another jay z post straight to the number 1 spot on RR like he is god this is why RR never gets no respect

    1. Guest says:

      They’re pulling out all of the stops to sell this bullshit! Jay is a legend but his stock is plummeting with all of this fuckery!!!! Go rock Tom Ford on a yacht with Beyonce topping you off yo and stop with this shit!!!!!! GIVE US A BEY SEX TAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. marty mcfly says:

        Jays stock is plummeting? LOLOLOLOLOL…… People only see Jayz but fail to see that this is about Hip Hop Culture. If Jay can do this, then so can other artists… Its about power and taking control over your own business and brand. If people wanna be mad at Jayz for thinking big and moving on it? Then fine but the blueprint is there.

        1. This Nigga's Father says:

          AND HERE YOU ARE TRYING ARGUE WITH SOMEBODY WHO OBVIOUSLY DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT A LOGICAL RESPONSE!?!?!? KILL YASELF!!! LMFAO!!!!

          1. marty mcfly says:

            My statement wasn’t arguing anything. Only thing I did was laugh at someone saying his stock is plummeting but read the comment again fool. The comment was about artists making moves… Why? It only makes sense. Example? What Jay is doing with his own carrier? Point? If Jay can do it so can other artists…. Purpose of the comment? When new business lanes open up in Hip Hop, the culture itself gets another win. You bitch you

          2. whats good says:

            haha and here he is again!

          3. This Nigga's Father says:

            LMFAO, RIGHT?!?!? SMH?!?!! LMFAO!!! “DIS NIGGA?!” HIS STOCK PLUMMETING IS A FIGURE OF SPEECH MY NIGGA!!! STOCK MEANING “MY PERSONAL FUCKING INTEREST” JAY IS WASHED AT THIS POINT!!! MCHG WAS THE BIGGEST POS OF 2013 JUST BECAUSE IT’S JAY DOESN’T MEAN THAT I HAVE TO RESPECT IT!!! AND RR TAKING THIS STRAIGHT TO THE #1 IS SUS AS FUCK!!! PUSHING THE AGENDA!!! KILL YASELF MARTY!!! LMFAO!!!

          4. GetReal says:

            DUMB BITCH HE AINT HERE TO INTEREST YOU NO MORE, YOU OBVIOUSLY A BROKE ASS NIGGA WHO PROBABLY HASNT PURCHASED A LIC OF MUSIC IN A DECADE, YOURE FUCKING IRRELEVENT, YOU CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO THE ECONOMIC STATE OF HIP HOP OR ANYTHING JAY HAS BEEN DOING FOR YEARS, HE DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU’RE INTERESTED IN BECAUSE RAPPING ISNT HIS NUMBER ONE FOCUS RIGHT NOW AND YOU PLAY ABSOLUTELY NO ROLE IN DETERMINING WHETHER JAY GETS PAID OR NOT, PLEASE KILL YOURSELF PIECE OF SHIT SCUM

          5. marty mcfly says:

            With a point to the comment clearly while you still study and follow my comments like a fan of mine. LOL

    2. You know what bothers me here?? You guys have so much Jay Z hate for no reason. Im not the biggest Hov supporter either, and im from Brooklyn.
      But damn some of you have so much hate in your heart for the man that
      your willing to support these Billion Dollar companies just because. We
      are actually allowing the media to dictate who we allow to be successful
      and for how long.

      This Is about power and taking control over your own business and brand. But some of you dont care because Jay Z is at the helm. I hope all of you are white with this devilish hate campaign you got going on against this man, because if your not, then you cats are in here tap dancing like Gregory Hines for your slave masters.

      And that is just crazy to me.

      1. Guest says:

        AND THEN WE HAVE STAN’S LIKE YOU WHO EVEN GIVE A SHIT THAT WE GIVE A SHIT!?!!?!?! JAY DON’T KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE MY NIGGA!?!?!?! DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS NIGGA!!! KILL YASELF!!!

        1. Your calling me a Stan but i stated from the gate i dont even support Jay Z musically like that. This is bigger than Jay Z and any other MC/Rapper. This is about taking the power away from the labels, something obviously you can’t comprehend.

          Some of you Negroes will support “White Supremacy” to your blue in the face, and even have a argument set up and ready to go on why you support “White Supremacy”

          If the options are supporting Jay Z and Tidal over Spotify and any other White Owned Streaming Service, Then call me a Stan because im better on “Black” Bitch!!

        2. GetReal says:

          YOU’RE A FUCKING IDIOT YOU OBVIOUSLY AINT LISTEN TO SHIT HE HAD TO SAY, SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOUR OPINION IS IRRELEVENT NOW

      2. Gmillz says:

        I don’t think so much of it is hate for Jay-Z as much as the way the media reports it. One example is this post shooting all the way to the top while being new. I understand that many of these sites are New York based and thus have bias towards New York hip hop but forcing a regional agenda on a worldwide medium is pretty lame. Personally, I don’t think Tidal is what people want because most people don’t care about audio quality. It is why we buy Mp3s over CDs and Beats by Dre over better sounding headphones. I
        like what they are doing but I don’t think it brings anything new that the mass consumer wants.

    3. LēTeck says:

      Everyone knows Jay-Z is the God MC lol

  9. Derek Addison says:

    Nice, hes gotta get the other artists on Tidal to do this too.

    1. Dame Dash Son Cookies says:

      Yeah, if Coldplay, Kanye, Rihanna, Ye and Bey do exclusive concerts it’s a wrap. They would certainly close the gap on the haters.

  10. oriv_kaboom says:

    Checkmate!!!!

  11. Don P says:

    I’m here for the B-Sides concert from Hov. Some of my favorite Hov tracks are joints he never performs ever.

  12. Aldo BangBANG says:

    even with a huge catalog, i dont know enough of Jay Z’s music to even care about a random ass concert. am i the only non-jay z fan? i mean, i like a few of his HITS and most songs on WTT but…whatever.

  13. cannon says:

  18. Hip Hop Head says:

    He’s the biggest name in Rap, why would RR not spotlight everything that Jay does??? It’s a business and you Migos fans are too fucking dumb to comprehend it! This nigga talking about jay too old to be rapping and then brings up birdman name! Wtf!!

  19. ThaRealHater says:

    Jay Z aint the cool rapper anymore. Nobody is gunna rush to purchase Tidal to see him.

  20. PhilLee8 says:

    That Tidal ship is damn near under water.

  21. Belize says:

    niggas hating like they dont wanna watch Jayz perform his “real songs”. I know as a fan, this is what I want, shyt from Vol 1, his mixtape etc that got no vids etc. That’s dope #NoHate

    still aint signing up for ur fucking tidal tho

  22. eastpointvet says:

    i just wanna see imaginary player performed live at least once.

  23. Fleez says:

    Somebody please explain the ideology behind Jay Z hate. WTF did this nigga do to the culture?

    Fatherless, high school dropout from the projects.

    Sells drugs.

    Trades that life in to be a rapper.

    Rises to the top of that genre on talent.

    Becomes businessman.

    Diversifies financial portfolio.

    Hires friends & family to work at various businesses.

    Marries bad ass chick. (Also rich as fuck)

    Starts family.

    I mean this nigga did what just about every young black man in America wants to do.

    Rise above the adverse circumstances, they COME from.

    If YOU mad at THAT. YOU fucked up.

  28. Epul says:

    Bunch of crabs in a bucket up and down this comment section. If you don’t like Jay-Z that’s cool, but this Tidal shit could open up a lot of doors for indie artist you fags suck dick over.

  29. Sina Mailer Daemon Djavadkhani says:

    Jay is ahead of his time, in a few years, it will be common for high profile acts to have their own streaming service / app.
