But why would a non-fan go out their way to cheat the system?

dddd ruthless

Wait. So like "endlessly stream my new music please" is the game plan now?

They made a competition for whoever streamed the most j cole music obviously aimed at fans bc they get a meet and greet + performance for the winner

I honestly think it's pretty clever. Kinda cheap, but smart.

I wonder if someone could start a (second or first) account on the first day of these and leave it playing nonstop to the end and get invited. Theoretically it's just ten bucks and probably the cheapest way to see them if you live in the cities they're hosted.

They are already doing that.

Signed artists receive:

Google Play: 73 cents / 100 plays
Tidal: 70 cents / 100 plays
Spotify: 11 cents / 100 plays

Unsigned artists receive:

Tidal: 4,30 dollars / 100 streams
Google Play: 1,79 dollars / 100 streams
Spotify: 70 cents / 100 streams

So basically artists are going to start showing preference to their fans that use tidal over those that don't? Where's the free concert to the people buying your album

"ENDLESSLY" stream his ICONIC hits. ok. no thank you.

Where was the uproar for fan clubs that ONLY gave exclusive content to people who were apart of those fanclubs? Yall fake anger is SO transparent. Like Lose My Breath said earlier this is NOT a new concept it has been done plenty of times like i just mentioned with Fan clubs, they get exclusive content all the time because they choose to sign up for it. You act like your entitled to receive EXCLUSIVE stuff when you don't want to be apart of the service like what? Its called TIDAL EXCLUSIVES for a reason.

Oh and for people who ARE NOT apart of Tidal you can enter to win as well



So what is yall excuse now?

ATRL stays losing

Tidal is fine. Watch it become #2 in streaming and actually play a threat to Spotify in 2016. This is literally just the first month and it's already looking promising for hardcore music fans and casual music fans.

Hope none of this counts for BB. Actually, blacklist JCole and teach these Tidal artists a lesson!


Also, I'm never paying for any service that puts the money sent listening to my fave artists in the hands of Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, Madonna and Rihanna.

Bye. You're not putting money in Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Nicki hands but you're more than happy to give JB your coins via Spotify?

Correct! I refuse!

Wouldn't this be easily manipulated just by leaving the J.Cole page playing on a loop forever?

No, Each Tidal Subscriber gets ONE entry PER DAY that they stream a J.Cole song. So basically during April 11 - April 20 you are eligible to get up to 10 entries ( one per day) simply by streaming his music.

If you are NOT a Tidal user, you can receive ONE entry per day by mailing in your info.

On or around April 21, they will randomly draw a winner frmo, all of those who are eligible. Basically if you stream his music every day no matter if you stream it once or stream it for hours, your entry will still only be ONE. The maximum you can receive is 10 (one per day)

Oh. Thanks for the info!
