I have a feeling this may be the album that I didn't know I needed. I was never really excited about the collab though I knew it was happening eventually. And now that it's out I'm ki da excited

We expect artists to talk about their lives in their music but this is on a different level of artistry. It's natural, not corny and derivative. They are both present and stand out separately and as one on the whole thing. This is doing some thing that most marketed duets and collaborative albums could never do. This joint feels very significant in the history of hiphop/RnB to me.
I'm only one listen through so I'm not even speaking on whatever is supposed to make the album good or bad

Jay: You went to Jared I went to JAR out out in Pari
B: Yea you fucked up the first stone we had to remarried

No way jay didnt drop this on purpose the day after nas.

I enjoyed the nas album but this is one of the better albums from this year. I now have a beyone album on my phone i guess.

Lovehappy is probably my fav on it.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

------------------
One Hundred.

On first listen I wasn't really feeling Apeshit. But the album, as a full listen all the way through... I think I like it better than Lemonade and 4:44.

Lemonade and 4:44 are both cool, but more like I just have my favourites and I loved the visuals and artistry. I rarely listen to either all the way through.

THIS joint though, it's just fun! And it's refreshing to hear them double down on mainstream for a bit. I love the production.. omg, boom bap? Lol.

This'll be in my workout rotation for a while.


Edit: Now if only they could make it easier for me to give them my money *eyeroll* I hate this "weaponized scarcity" tactic in Tidal's business model, like what are they doing???? I could see limiting the STREAMING to Tidal, but why are you preventing people from PURCHASING your albums on other platforms when they drop? I feel like they make the bootleg situation worse this way. People that don't really stream like that are not a good target for subscriptions anyway. LET us give you album sales.

This takes me back to when I was younger and black business started opening up in our hoods. We gave the reason for not supporting because the prices were too high.

so my question, how do we create exclusivity? it’s the part I honestly don’t understand

I wanna believe when they say it’s not about the streams; yet, getting to a place that is totally ours...

They are basically giving a middle finger to the white American business model.

I’m not mad at it but it’s going to take a while to get us to give up Walmart and Whole Foods to shop at Fubu.

I’m on Spotify. It works, they have a shit load of music and I’ve been on it for years. Does Tidal have all the songs I have on Spotify? Prolly not... but what if they do?

I really have no excuse to not try them out and see if they have what I want/need.

My wife and I use the same Spotify account and she uses it for work since she teaches dance. If we can do the same thing with Tidal, I will switch.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

Back in the day OutKast did a show in DC hoasted by the radio station. My boy asked them how much they were paid. They told him they did the show for free because the station threatened them. “Do the show or we won’t play your music on the radio”

Most artist cave in that situation.


It’s dope line and it shows he knew his worth and radio played his shit because they needed him more than he needed them.

It's like they want to allow people only one way to support. Which is irritating to those of us interested in a specific product but not the service. I'm not going to suddenly become enamored with streaming services just because they (try to) force me to subscribe. So people who don't really stream shouldn't buy their new projects??

I do get how and why subscriptions would be their main profit driver.. Streams are nice for certifications and whatnot, but high utilization/stream volume must actually cost them a lot of money if we factor in the demand on their backend infrastructure.

I just think Beyonce and Jay Z's tactic to strongarm people is heavy-handed and that's the turnoff for me. Deal with album sales and streams/subscriptions differently.

what other support is there?

They've mentioned it's not about the streams, it's helping build a black empire.

unless you subscribe to their streaming ecosystem.

I'm not much of a streamer and don't believe in handing over contact/credit card info for stuff I know I won't use. An X months of free streaming promo doesn't incentivize customers like me.

What other support is there? Just plain old album sales!

I would have gladly contributed to their black empire by purchasing this album from another sales channel. It was the first thing I tried to do. Is their really that huge a difference between an album purchased off itunes, amazon, etc vs Tidal??

Just seems like some poor market segmentation *shrug*

Since I liked the album so much, here's how I'm paying them for it...
I signed up for Tidal, and I'll let at least two months go by so I get billed for it, since one month is free. I'm playing the album on Tidal too.

Not sure you wanna do all that, but that's one way to go about it if you really wanna put money in their pockets.

I'm kinda in the streaming mood since I got back on Spotify free about a week ago.
If I find I'm not using Tidal, I'll cancel after a couple of months.
Not trying to just be throwing away money.

Apple and Amazon keep a portion of the sale of each song/album

even if its the same at Tidal.. they own it so... it's all profit for them.

it just bothers me when black folks be like...
"fight the power"
"we need our own"
"injustice"
"black lives matter"
but won't support their own...

and their excuses are just as lame...
"they don't need my money"
"the product is better over there"

classic craps in a bucket shit
I can't take them seriously...

Exclusivity really is a losing strategy....

Most people are either gonna sign up for 1 month then leave or just download it illegally...

I know it makes sense for him but it really is playing old music industry games in a totally new landscape

Your dumbass respond about the song having no content. Lol. She never said the song had content. She said the video was amazing. Jesus, you guys are dumb sometimes.

Why are they “insufferable”??

Like, okay, you dont like their music. Fine.

You dont like their videos? Thats a little weird
because ther are each on a nice video run. But
ok.


You dont like their “artistic” videos? Are they
not artists?

Okay, so you dont like any of it.

But, even at that, why do they make you so
mad?

Is it their success? That they are getting more
comfortable celebrating their blackness?

Is it both?

Because you are in here, and in the Lesson,
posting like you watch Fox News.

If you dont like their art, fine- but theres really
no reason go hate them at this point.

Might want to do some soul searching on
why they make you this upset.

None of what you typed applies and therefore makes no sense.

Is that your track record?

Dog, youre in here with like 7 posts telling
everyone they are idiots and calling the Carters
insufferable.

You dont like their art, thats fine.

But you are doing extra. Very Fox News-ish
stuff is coning from you.



I honestly dont think you mean it that way, but
you really should consider pumping the breaks.

Theres really no reason to hate on them at this point.

You do have a track record of forgetting this
is all subjective too. Like, no one is an idiot
for liking a video.

In fact, like i said, each of them have made
incredible videos lately. I think we should
applaud the effort they put into them.

But, even if its not for you, they arent insufferable
and we arent idiots for having a different opinion
than you.

I for one am glad they are taking attention
away from MAGA and the wife beater.

You trying real hard right now

Dude is a clown all the time

.... stick a fork in him he's done as presented on this album.

Do you hear Nas rapping like the Migos? FUCK NO.

Do you hear Cam rapping like insert young trash rapper? FUCK NO

Fuck every last one of these trash ass songs and let me get to Beyonce.......

WHY IN THE FUCK IS SHE DOING A RHIANNA IMPRESSION? Mafucker YOU BEYONCE. Miss me with all this fake shit as you married. Go back to doing what got you to this position: BE YOURSELF

As for the Drake diss we have to break this down properly:

Hov is 48 right now, in 2008 he was 38 which means he was 31 in 2001 the same age as Drake.
His biggest endorsement was Rocawear and maybe Carol's Daughter if you add 2002. Hov was not worth $250 million in 2001 coincidentally the same age as Drake. This shot comes out of nowhere and is unjustified to say the least. I won't cyse Drake's future but Hov is out of line bullying for no reason. Imagine if the older more successful artist bullied Hov at the same point in time...

I haven't heard the whole album but ApeSh*t is standard Jay-Z bars, better than any of his rhyming on 4:44 AND much better than alot of what Nas did on Nasir (which for the first time had Nas sounding like he has lost some ability).
