Guapo always ruined the song for me.

Well the streaming service market is saturated and not sure what Tidal has done to sway competition away from the major players.

Tidal has given access to albums early(Kanye, Jay, Beyonce) and has also streamed concerts from Lil Wayne and Rick Ross to Made In America

Meaning, they've produced a product for black people, but too many of us try to make them rich instead of empowering and enriching our own.

[HOU$TON]

All I remember from the West during that era was that them _s completely jacked My Dougie from Dallas and ran with it.

Hell yeah

Even though there's no guarantee, empowering those who might have came from less fortunate situations in order for them to give back could help, at the same time, things just tell me you have to ultimately help yourself.

 

[str8drop]

It’s crazy to think that for a $10 a month you can stream pretty much everything yet millions of people would still rather just try and download that ****

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Pablo is actually one of the lesser known ATL dudes that stand out to me.

huh?

The sad thing is people don't even see it.

When it comes to us. Well what am I getting for my money? What do you get special from anyone else? You need a hook up to buy black. You have to prove why you should buy from them, instead of wanting to support your own. ****s backwards. Meanwhile you have all these arabs and asians in our community with terrible customer service and prejudices and we don't make them work for our dollar.

I was going to get something to eat today, and thought on MLK Day I can't see myself going anywhere else than a black owned spot.

 

[kevlar]

Pablo Juan hasn't taken that next step musically IMO

Been finding myself losing interest in his new stuff

 

[6pac]

Lol @ 10:35 Lil Baby did the exact same **** when Vlad pulled out some random anecdote from them doing some street **** that was pre-fame. They need to rename this channel Vlad PD.

The Giants were better than the Browns too

Post of the year candidate

I don't get what he gets out of trolling people who shouldn't be listening to him.

I hope nobody older than 30 follows this cupcake just to see what he's going to type.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

For real, who cares what a troll like this says? Lol

He probably let a Harvey Weinstein do something strange to him for that slave deal he got.

 

[rbk93]

huh?

Looking at the negative sides of things, it's not a favorable position to be in. You're either aiding or worsening the situation.

 

[kickvicisous]

If you really care about an artist and want to see them paid fairly, especially the guys who aren't major mainstream artist, then how about you actually purchase their music and go to their shows. Even if you have to stream some **** if you end up really liking it why not buy the actual album or EP at a later date. You should want to own your music, the streaming services can remove someone's whole catalog without notice and if that's your main option for music you'd be screwed in terms of that artist. Some of these rappers/indie labels have their own services where you can purchase the music directly from them and download it to a device.

You can even upload it after purchase to personal network storage and stream it yourself from your phone. Streaming is convenient but if you really want to support as you claim the best way today is to buy the music, not pay a 3rd party for the ability to play it.

Why not do both?

 

[doxen5703]

i might be the only one in here to say this but as a youngin i ****ed with the chris brown and tyga fan of a fan tape. like that used to be my ****.



the snippet of this leaked in 09 and this came out before Ye’s did

Tyga had a good run of mixtapes and was making good music before Rack City. He even had people campaigning for him to be on The Motto when it dropped.

 

[doxen5703]

Also, Tidal messed up on the rollout when it first came out. Using a bunch of wealthy and well established artists to complain about money in a commercial wasn’t the best idea. I think they should have gathered a bunch of poppin “independent” artists at the time (Chance, Vic Mensa, etc.) to tell consumers that Tidal is gonna be the wave and this is how you stay independent.
