Jay-Z's Album '4:44' Rumored to Arrive on Apple Music After One Week of Tidal Exclusivity

He has a near $1 billion net worth. You and the 5 people who liked your comment should probably know that more than handful of people care about him, and probably not so much about any of you.

I know some people who has so much money and nobody cares. If somebody pretends to care for him it's because they care for his money and connection not him. How about you, do you care for him?

That's irrelevant. The statement made is that no one cares for him. His net worth says otherwise, very plainly. It's not a discussion, this is a statement of fact.

I don't like Jay-Z or Tidal but you have to give him props for standing up for musicians and artists by owning such a service. Services run by musicians for musicians are always a better combination than someone like apple or Spotify who just want to go lowest common denominator and shift volume! I'm close to cancelling my Apple Music subscription now, the only reason is the encrypted files and how little freedom you get with the service, you are locked into it and apple and even iTunes as the files won't play in anything else, not really what I would consider right imho.

When is this guy going to pay his bills? He owes Kanye 3 million bucks that he hasn't paid. When is JayZ going to pay the artists you claim he cares about so much?

We dont care anymore as we are fed up with all the hiphop crap...

Hmmm Germany... Europe never listened to hip hop like that. Europe is still stuck on 90's sounding dance music minus Calvin Harris. Maybe when the US moves on to something else Europe will finally start in on the hip hop.

I listed to the album for free and it wasn't any good at all, so i really don't care if it comes to Apple Music or not.

Your taste in music is obviously terrible

So you clicked on this thread, read it, and then even replied because you don't care?

Well I care for good music - which hiphop isn't.

As much as this guy thinks himself as important, nobody really cares about him.

i don't think he cares that noone cares about him either though haha. this is a business move plain and simple.
He made so much money from the sprint deal

its all about money. JayZ believed at the time that he could buy tidal for 50m and hopefully it would become the next billion dollar valuated streaming service so he could resell at a massive profit.

Just listen to his new rap, it litterally talks about how he makes his money by taking risks buying things like art for 1 million, a few years later, it being worth 8 million, etc etc. the whole rap is him bragging about he got rich and keeps getting rich.

you know, because he humble like dat

Actually, that's not what the "whole rap" is about. In fact, you misunderstood the meaning of why he mentioned that. The song is a commentary on how American society views black people, no matter whether they're rich or poor. You may think that you're acceptable and just like everyone else because you're successful or rich or famous, you may have made a mistake, etc. and you are vilified and treated to a double standard, or for a regular person, you may be given an excessive jail sentence or you may be shot unarmed or beat up by law enforcement. You're "still n***"...as the chorus of the song says.

The song explains that there are more important things than being flashy, it's important to INVEST your money, to make sure that you are CREDITWORTHY, to try to leave a legacy or inheritance for future generations in your family etc. as white people have been able to do for generations and black people have not had that same historical opportunity. But I wouldn't have expected you to listen that well to what Jay-Z was trying to say.

And lastly, I don't see anything wrong with making a business investment and hoping that you can multiply your money. Rich white people do it every day. Many many people on this thread hold Apple stock and are very invested in the company making more and more profit so the shares go up and their money is multiplied.
