Kanye West Wants Meeting Between Tim Cook and Jay Z to End 'Beef' Between Apple Music and Tidal

[macduke]

Get settled in at work, grab some breakfast, login to MR for a bit…

WHAT DID I DO? Couldn't for the life of me remember what I wrote, figured I pissed off a bunch of people. Was scared to open. Turns out everything is ok, lol. You guys really don't like Kanye. Finally, something the forums can agree on!

I agree. All of this BS between Spotify/Tidal/Apple Music needs to end for the sake of consumers. I'm constantly torn between going with Tidal for all the Prince exclusives or Apple Music for the 50% off. Want to upgrade but just don't know which path to go down. I'm grateful someone with a large, influential platform like Kanye is raising light to the prospect of Apple buying Tidal, or buying their exclusivity rights.

I knew better than to come read this. Just as bad as youtube comment sections.

Yep. Most people can't think for themselves.

Stupid f***

Kanye ***** on everyone then begs for forgiveness.

Heck, based on past comments made by Kanye that were hateful towards Apple, non-black people, and LBGT I don't see any reason for Tim Cook to give him 30 seconds of his time.

Jay-z... He's still ok and can work something out for his label. I don't see how Kanye plays a role in this.. Am I outta sync here? Does Kanye own part of ROC or something?

What a doofus

 

[2crazy]

I think this guy is just annoying. He's only trying to get some attention.

 

[Taipan]

This sequence of names in itself is a joke already...

^ Imagine if a young John Lennon was still alive and said that now instead of 50 years ago? Social media would burn him! Eric Clapton said that racist quote in the 1970's. Imagine if he said that now? Memes everywhere and people would hate him like Donald Trump. Kanye said George Bush doesn't care about black people and it already was a big deal in 2005.

Here's to the "Crazy Ones"...

Tim should make that teleconference, pipe in at 11:00am, tell them they have 15 minutes, then just sit and listen to these kids express what they think they deserve and how little they know about valuation, then disconnect after 15 minutes and send them a bill for $80,000 for his time.

 

[r3lentl3ss]

I love this guy's demand for all of them to speak together. The same guy who asked Zuckerberg for a billion dollars. This guy should change his album title to "The Life of Douchebag". Please just let him and the Kartrashians go away.

 

[Sloppy.Joe]

Mmmmm... Beeeeef

 

[seatton]

I think he wants to put his wife's sex tap on Apple Music.

 

[Allewsive]

Just another reason to never listen to Kanye for any reason at all...

 

[6836838]

To be honest, I'd love to use Apple Music instead of Tidal. Although as far as I know Tidal is the only streaming service to offer lossless audio streaming. If Apple offered uncompressed audio streaming, I'd switch.

Both lossless and loosing at the same time!

Kanye West? Never heard of her.

That's not the point. This Kanye circle jerk is bordering religion. It's not healthy anymore. I don't like plenty of artist and I won't type in the manner this thread is turning into. It looks like a cesspool youtube comment section.

in general i think snarky remarks of this type are childish and silly, but I did look up Sam Cooke and listened to some wonderful music. Also, I'd argue Kanye is producer first, and that's the area he really excels at anyway.

I agree with you about this stuff is bordering religion or a cult. The main problem is with those who feed this cult with their blind approval and unconditional "love" that is why cult leaders will always find someone who will fight for them and protect them.

 

[B2k1977]

wow so much unfounded hatred and bitterness. you guys are really wonderful people

Awww did you think that up while listening to Kanye on your Zune? It's not about hate. It's about he's a loser who needs to go away.

 

[winston1236]

Lol partnership, sure. I bet Apple would love to partner with a money losing music service after already building up it's own service. This is nothing more than a publicity attempt to try and save their long almost dead 'tidal' music.

 

[mjs975s]

I have a pretty short list of people I absolutely can not stand. The kind of mental list where you think how much better the world would be if this person was never born and Kanye is at the top of the list.

 

[44267547]

I see, still the abbuse. He is the co owner of Tidal along with several other A list mega stars with millions of fans globally, hence my comment about Apple being careful with their approach as it will all be very public.

That was not the point of my post and by no means was I being disrespectful. My point was if he is a professional and a Megastar, then demanding to Meet with Tim Cook and demanding large amounts of money is ludicrous. He is known for his tyrannical behavior and his preposterous requests. I mean, what are you defending?

No disrespect, but I suggest you revisit Kanye's past behavior and outlandish attitude. There really is no case here. There is a reason he is disliked. I don't need to explain any further.

"I need" Yeah, cuz trying to dictate to the CEO of one of the, if not THE most powerful company on earth is the way to go.

 

[netdoc66]

So much ignorance on this site. Why am I still a member?

 

[noone]

Every once in a while a name becomes synonymous with it's product. Kleenex is an example. I have no doubt that Kanye will become the term for an douche of indescribable proportions.

Apple already has a monopoly in certain areas.

The difference is, Apple is not as greedy as Google and other companies in terms of making their users suffer.

Dat 5GB iCloud, tho

 

[SDAVE]

Dat 5GB iCloud, tho

$0.99/cents per month for 50GB. Not bad.

 

[Deuce on the Clock]

Absurd and unjustified. How many billions of dollars is your company making? Let's also not forget that Tim was instrumental in the rise of Apple's success, too. Job's petulance didnt go far.

Eddie Cue is that you?
