    Trash concert. Jay performed at Barclay’s when it opened. How long can we watch him stand in one spot performing Big Pimpin, PSA, and Hard Knock Life? If he doesn’t have any new music, this will be wack

    1. Atu Mensah says:

      So you didnt bother to see that line up huh? hahah

      Have a _

      1. The Gary Group says:

        Lineup sucks ass. I saw the lineup. What is Jay not performing? Y’all know something I don’t? GTFOH

        1. ben stewart says:

          It’s for charity so why complain also I don’t think you’re paying for it anyway so why do you even care !

    2. Observer says:

      Lol, my bro, do you even read… It’s not just Jay Z… Beyoncé, Prince Usher, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and T.I., and it also features Damian Marley, Indochine, Fabolous, Thomas Rhett, DJ Cipha Sounds, DJ Reflex, Alessia Cara, Bas, Benjamin Booker, Flatbush Zombies, and Justine Sky

      1. The Gary Group says:

        I saw that….Jay’s gonna perform too right? Do you read? All those artists are trash too. Just because they’re popular doesn’t mean the music’s gonna be good.

        1. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

          This makes no sense. Classics never get stale.

          1. The Gary Group says:

            Knew you would be here to slurp up Jigga

          2. THE ALMIGHTY MIKEY ESCO!!! says:

            YOU GOT TO BE A LONELY HATEFUL MOFO TO EVEN POST THESE COMMENTS YOUR LIFE MUST SUCK!! THIS LINEUP IS INCREDIBLE!!! BAMAS LIKE YOU GET STOMACH CANCER FROM ALL THE HATE IN YA GUTS!!! FK YO FEELINGS YOU MISERABLE LIL BAMA!!!

          3. Blacktone86 says:

            Why even brother with the back and forth

        2. Short-T:goodkidratchetcity.com says:

          Are you calling Prince trash?

        3. ilexx says:

          Boy you really are stupid. There are a bunch of artists on the line up ppl would love to see. I for one think its insane that Damian Market and Jigga are on the same line up. Jay-Z and Lil Wayne at the same show?

          I don’t particularly dig Prince but I’ve never seen him in concert, the mystic around that man alone, this is something epic.

          This is what I don’t get, even if I never listened to any artist on the line up, I would still see the line up and think its dope, because it is, even if it isn’t for me. Stop being a hating bitch ass nigga for no reason.

  2. thedeamkid19 says:

    a million stupid motherfuckers paying for something that should be for free, “Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists” wisdom for the dummies, fuck all this

    1. THE ALMIGHTY MIKEY ESCO!!! says:

      STFU BAMA!!! WHAT YOU TRYNA KICK KNOWLEDGE? FK YO FEELINGS!!!

      1. thedeamkid19 says:

        fuck you bama, you probably thought that jay z line was something smart cause you a retard

    2. Dark Matters says:

      “should be for free”

      Because you made it and decided to give it out for free?

      1. thedeamkid19 says:

        they charge for the álbum, show tickets, products with theyr name but now they decide to charge for streaming music and watching videos, so they are squeezing every single penny out of stupid fans. and yes thru history the videos have being for free and should stay free

        1. Dark Matters says:

          You’re either intellectually dishonest or just not a sufficiently intelligent person. Either way, I’ve decided that talking with you would be a waste of time. You aren’t going to convince me, otherwise.

  3. Sonic says:

    Tidal is a major flop. Jay Z will never compete with Apple, Spotify and Google Play. Tidal has had so many L’s, that 1 million just seems like another L. He is gonna need a lot more users like over 10 million to pay artist for exclusives and special events. Lol, stop making excuses for Camel and his lesbian wife.

    1. 400_Degreez says:

      I’m fuckin with Tidal… They gave me Made in America, Lil Weezyana Fest, Summer Jam, Hov B-Sides, etc etc… them other companies not doing that kinda stuff

      1. Megamind says:

        For Artist…By Artist…they know what the consumer wants.
        It’s going through it’s growing pains…this is normal. Perfect example is that both Pandora (the most subs) & Spotify (60+ mil subs) are still BARELY profitable and they are 10 & 5+ years in respectively.

        If Tidal keeps innovating and more outreach to indie artist, it will continue to grow and find it niche.

        Megamind

    2. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

      a million subscribers is a major flop? you trolls man…

      1. Sonic says:

        – Jay Z dickrider

        1. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

          clever

          1. thedeamkid19 says:

            a million distributed in between all those big names? is it really good?

          2. MrAfrika says:

            They’re making a concert with Beyonce, Jay Z, and Prince.
            Prince nigga.
            What the fuck else are yall gonna complain and troll about.

          3. thedeamkid19 says:

            prince is cool, tidal sucks. they are not one entity

      2. uh says:

        Compared to Apple Music and Spotify how well is Tidal really doing?

      3. MrSkeezyMak says:

        Dude likes his own status on every single comment, and sometimes does it as another account. Fuck dat nigga.

      4. alex says:

        How much is Tidal? Lets add up the total revenue, and then off that we can guess how the company is doing.

        1. alex says:

          that’s not even counting their definition of subscribers. Shit could be people who used tidal for free/one month/ yearly subscription. This shit doesn’t even add up. No they are not doing well.

      5. el jim chapo guzman says:

        brian B.Dot i had tremendous amount of respect for you until you started riding jay z scrotum a little bit too much…why you all over this comment section.. i haven’t seen you on a comment section for minute…the bottom line is stop riding jay’s dick…you and YN can’t get a interview from jay and never will..

      6. Music says:

        With 7 billion people in the world and with Spotify at 75 million, yes it is a flop. Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t!

        1. Dark Matters says:

          It’s all his own money. It’s a win.

          1. Music says:

            see comment above.

        2. Shock says:

          I wish I could flop with a business with a million customers generating millions of dollars a year

          1. Music says:

            Spotify with 75 million customers is having a hard time profiting and paying all its licenses.

            You think Tidal is having a field day with ONE million customers?

          2. Shock says:

            At least ten million in revenue a month is not bad….I would take it

          3. Shock says:

            Tidal makes money off everyone homie. Spotify has too many free customers

          4. Music says:

    3. MR. UNDI$PUTED THE MOGUL says:

      Just curious how many bitch niggaz & homo’s pay you monthly for service of any type?!?!? There are way too many stupid ass idiots in our community that don’t realize In life there can sometimes always be someone with more than you. It doesn’t mean you stop grinding & working hard. Bill Gates’ worth $79 Billion you think the Larry Ellison ($49.3 B)isn’t still trying to catch him?!?!?!

    4. U GOTTA BE TROLLING LOL says:

      1 million people paying $10-$20 a month? So $10-$20 MILLION A MONTH A FLOP?

  4. 400_Degreez says:

    Every time I try to cancel that subscription they find a way to pull me back in… dope line-up

  5. abstractart says:

    Congrats Jay Z on Tidal hitting 1 million subs. 10 more million to go before you catch Apple music and 54 million to go before you catch Spotify

    1. marty mcfly says:

      Jay don’t have to catch up with Apple or Spotify. All Jay has to do his focus on his own business and that in itself will set him up for another major success.

    2. radio raheem says:

      I don’t think his point of making tidal was to catch up….

      1. FACTS!!! says:

        It wasn’t. His plan is to get a couple million subs and sell it to the BIGGER company. Before it’s all said and done Beats/Apple will OWN EVERYTHING! And Jay will walk away with BILLI!!!

        1. thedeamkid19 says:

          so he is playing chess? ha

  6. Soup Weezy..... says:

    Ya’ll are bugging that concert is gonna be Bonkers… Prince alone is enough reason to go..

  7. el jim chapo guzman says:

    “Tidal encountered a lot of bad press almost immediately after it launched, and has been struggling to gain footing in a crowded section of the streaming space.
    Conversely, Apple received a lot of good press. It was going to overtake the existing streaming music services like Spotify and Pandora. But like many Apple products which lauds itself as new, innovative, and groundbreaking it’s actually none of those things. And because this time there is no tangible product there is no pretty package to disguise it in.
    Bottom line- Tidal may suck but so does Apple Music

      Notice how nobody cares about your poorly written essay? Take a break from commenting

        fuck you

        1. Guest says:

          No thanks! I have better things to do than comment on every single post ever published for the past 2 years lol and what’s even worse is that you really don’t understand how bizarre that is? Between you Mikey and Sonic I can’t figure out which one of you is more pathetic?. Keep up the good work

          1. el jim chapo guzman says:

            GET A LIFE MORON.

            CTFU?! That’s what the rest of us have been trying to tell you to do for the past year? This is beyond calling the kettle black? Do you really not understand how bizarre your constant trolling is?! Like REALLY?! I strongly believe that I speak for everybody that visits this site that you definitely to take your own advice and LOG THE FUCK OFF! No other way to put it! Get a life outside of trolling

    2. diggz says:

      lol just cause its the same as spotify don’t mean it sux. Apple Music is automatically installed on the #1 phone, computers, tablets and gives a 3 MONTH FREE. Shit, I signed up for it 2 and a half months ago I forgot I still had the shit, and I probably will and get charged for it. Numbers don’t lie all these forcable installs are going to amount , obviously to big bux for apple and eventually people cancelling the $20 for essentially the same product just endorsed by different people.

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        aye diggz He got 99 problems and Tidal is one, Hit ME! Lol

    85% of you clowns sit around complaining about what someone else is doing or not doing what are you doing complaining!#getyourlife together#itsforcharity!

    1. F*ck Drake says:

      I do what I want

  10. Some of the comments in this section is crazy. Im not the biggest Jay Z supporter, but I don’t want to see any “Black Man” fail when their trying to occupy business space in the free world.

    Some of you need to change your frame of mind, because if you dont your eventually going to fall victim to the pit falls that have been placed in front of you purposely.

    Im reading the comments and young “Black Men” are happy that Apple and Spotify have more subscribers than Tidal a “Black Owned” business.

    And i know some people are going to say why inject “Race” into it. Well Jews support and do business their own, Asians support and do business with their own, Arabs support and do business with their own, Spanish and Latin people support and do business with their own. Black folks are the only people who dont support their own and then make excuses about it. All the while we own nothing in society, but we spend the most money in society.

    If this doesnt apply to you, then let it fly. But there is no way any one can deny what im saying. We need to change the way we think. Once we do that, we will succeed at what ever we decide to take on. Peace!!

    1. Victor Van Lier says:

      Well said bruh

    2. Ross says:

      That might be the most though out, sensible comment I’ve read on RapRapdar. As a black man myself, I think its sad that through all these years we still accept being nothing more than a “entertainer for the masses.” No attempt of ownership. No attempt of building future leaders. No attempt of standing strong. We cry with frustration when the Travon Martin verdict is read, but we laugh and say “them niggas is turn up” when hear of the senseless killings in Chicago.

      With that said, I love Black People and I know we’re making progress in this world…. But I hate Niggaz & I know those are the ones that continue to bring us down. Im out

      1. marty mcfly says:

        Only thing I’d say to that is I’ve heard a bunch of arguments made about how black people feel about murder in Chicago? Almost every black person I’ve heard speak about it says its a terrible situation. I have yet to hear any black person say or imply that the killings going on in Chicago are a great thing that black people should celebrate or be proud of. The difference between the call for justice behind Trayvon Martin and the murders in Chicago, is alot of those killers in Chicago went to prison for their killings so nobody was calling for justice after its served to the killer. There has been alot of marches and protests calling for peace period but the news don’t cover that so people think that doesn’t exist but they do. The notion that black people are like cheering for more murder in Chicago is a lie. Nobody black is doing that from what I’ve seen.

    3. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

      well said

    4. F*ck Drake says:

      I would agree but you’re talking about support a black millionaire who already done made buckoo bucks. So why would I back a lesser quality product with a higher price than a high quality product for much less?
