Jay Z Reveals Plans for Tidal, a Streaming Music Service

On Monday, Jay Z, the rapper and entertainment mogul, announced his plans for Tidal, a subscription streaming service he recently bought for $56 million. Facing competition from Spotify, Google and other companies that will soon include Apple, Tidal will be fashioned as a home for high-fidelity audio and exclusive content.

But perhaps the most notable part of Jay Z’s strategy is that a majority of the company will be owned by artists. The move may bring financial benefits for those involved, but it is also powerfully symbolic in a business where musicians have seldom had direct control over how their work is consumed.

“This is a platform that’s owned by artists,” Jay Z said in an interview last week as he prepared for the news conference announcing the service. “We are treating these people that really care about the music with the utmost respect.”

The plan was unveiled on Monday at a brief but highly choreographed news conference in Manhattan, where Jay Z stood alongside more than a dozen musicians identified as Tidal’s owners. They included Rihanna, Kanye West, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Jack White, Alicia Keys, the country singer Jason Aldean, the French dance duo Daft Punk (in signature robot costumes), members of Arcade Fire, and Beyoncé.

Early Monday, artists associated with Tidal began promoting the service on social media through the tag #TIDALforALL. That stirred excitement among fans, although some in the music business and the technology world remain skeptical about Tidal’s chances against players like Apple and Spotify.

The stars stood side-by-side and signed an unspecified “declaration.” Jay Z did not speak, but Ms. Keys read a statement expressing the musicians’ wish “to forever change the course of music history.” 

Several artists have already thrown their support behind TIDAL, changing their Twitter icons to light blue and tweeting the hashtag #TIDALForAll. Among them, Kanye West, Jack White’s Third Man Records, and Arcade Fire:

​

There are two paid subscription options: $19.99 a month for high-fidelity audio, and $9.99 for standard quality audio. TIDAL can be streamed on the web, and downloaded for iOS and Android devices.

A Summary of NBA All Star Weekend in NYC

The City had a huge weekend and was host to many events this very cold February weekend. There was the NBA All Star Weekend, Fashion Week, the star-studded Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special and a huge concert full of hiphop heavyweights. What do these events have in common? Kanye West was at each one of them.

The stars migrated from L.A. for the Grammys to New York for Fashion Week. On Thursday, Kanye West presented his first Yeezy collection with Adidas Originals, and all the big names were in attendance.

The front row was a who’s who of music and fashion elite including Beyoncé, Jay Z, Rihanna, Diddy, Cassie, 2 Chainz, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Pop queens Rihanna and Beyonce snapped a photo together backstage, while hip-hop moguls Jay Z and Diddy supported Kanye and his new collection.

History was made on Thursday night when the East Coast and West Coast united for Hot 97’s “Tip-Off” concert hosted by Diddy and Snoop Dogg at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. The star-studded event, which kicked off NBA All-Star Weekend, featured surprise guests, reunions, and plenty of nostalgia, bringing out guests such as Busta Rhymes, French Montana, Dr. Dre, T.I., Lil Kim, The Lox, Kanye West, Nas, and many more during an unforgettable live event.

Diddy’s all-star lineup of guests included Busta Rhymes, Jermaine Dupri, and Kanye West, who performed “Can’t Tell Me Nothing." Black Rob guested on “Whoa!” and Diddy reunited R&B group 112, who performed their 2001 hit “Peaches & Cream” and the Notorious B.I.G. tribute “I’ll Be Missing You,” backed by Faith Evans and a choir. Nas hit the stage for “Hate Me Now” and “Made You Look,” while Naughty by Nature served their classics “O.P.P.” and “Hip Hop Hooray.”  Snoop Dogg brought out Dr. Dre for “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang." Then T.I who performed “About the Money.” The crowd went crazy when Lil’ Kim and The Lox  performed “Money, Power & Respect” and “It’s All About the Benjamins,” and Diddy’s son Christian Combs filled in for Ma$e on “Been Around the World.”

Other guests included Big Sean, Keyshia Cole, Doug E. Fresh, 2 Chainz, French Montana, A$AP Ferg, O.T. Genasis, Troy Ave, and ILoveMakonnen.

It was NBA All-Star weekend, but it seemed as if all the stars in the celeb world were taking part in the swanky dinners, posh parties and concerts before Sunday's big game.

 

Official All-Star events, like Friday's celebrity game and Saturday's skills competition, attracted Rihanna, Kevin Hart, Mo'ne Davis and Floyd Mayweather, but other events had star power, too.

On Friday night, Nas and Drake gave a concert that featured Kanye West, while James held court at a dinner thrown at the Italian eatery Carbone by Beats. Farther away, All-Star John Wall had his own dinner at STK with Luc Belaire, where he mingled with guests, including rapper Pusha T and actress Keke Palmer.

On Saturday afternoon, Derek Jeter gathered his former Yankee teammate C.C. Sabathia, quarterback Russell Wilson, and others to discuss the launch of his after-career venture, the Players Tribune, a digital media company designed to give athletes a platform to tell their own stories; a late night launch party followed with a performance from rapper Common.

Sunday's game attracted some big-name musical talent, including a performance by Christina Aguilera and Nas before the start of the action. Among those attending the game was former President Bill Clinton, who sat with former NBA basketball player Dikembe Mutombo. Others seen at the game include film director Spike Lee and comedian Chris Tucker.

Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj provided the halftime entertainment, while Tamia sang the Canadian national anthem and Queen Latifah performed an acoustic version of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Russell Westbrook with his 3s, dunks, and swagger, was perfect for the All-Star Game. The Hawks played best when they were together, sharing the ball and making plays. LeBron James  had 30 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and two steals. However, much like the weather in New York, Carmello Anthony was frozen this weekend.

The 57th Grammy Awards Review

The 57th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday were a mixture of old songs, new faces and upsets, as Sam Smith, a 22-year-old British singer barely known to American audiences a year ago, won three of the top four prizes, and Beck became the dark-horse victor of album of the year.

Kendrick Lamar and Eminem split the four rap trophies. Mr. Lamar, a fast-rising young star who had walked away empty-handed last year, took best performance and song this year for “I.” Eminem won best rap album for “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” and shared best rap/sung collaboration with Rihanna, for “The Monster.”

Kanye West, dressed in a velvety red jumpsuit and a thin gold chain, was barely illuminated by a low spotlight as he sang “Only One,” his voice warped by electronics. 

Among the night’s other big winners, Pharrell Williams took home three prizes: “Happy” won best music video and, in a live version, best pop solo performance, while his “G I R L” won best urban contemporary album.

Beyoncé,  had been up for a total of six awards, also won three: best R&B performance and R&B song, for “Drunk in Love,” and best surround sound album, for “Beyoncé.”

Accepting the award for best R&B performance, Beyoncé thanked God and her husband, Jay Z, who appears on the track. But she made sure to thank her fans as well, with whom she keeps in constant contact through social media.

“I’d like to say thank you to my Beyhive,” she said. “Thank you guys for riding so hard.”

Some of the highlights definitely were Beyonce‘s tribute to the movie Selma alongside John Legend. The best performances came last. Beyoncé capped a ceremony that wasn't short on social commentary with a gospel song that was a favorite of Martin Luther King Jr. She ended her rendition introducing Legend and Common, who found inspiration for Glory in King and today's protests — and who performed, indeed, gloriously, accompanied by a full string section and choir.

Perhaps searching for a new twist on a song that seems to never go away, Pharrell performed his hit "Happy" and inserted an international flavor and weirdly dark tone, reinforced by Lang Lang's dissonant piano solo a couple of minutes in. But the choruses remained upbeat while the orchestra members wore yellow.

Superstars Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney performed "FourFiveSeconds" with no flash, no one trying to upstage the others. Add some buoyant harmonies, and you have a refreshingly simple and truly rousing number.

One unexpected stir brought some drama to the stage. As Prince (dressed in an incredible bedazzled orange jumpsuit in all his glory) announced Beck’s “Morning Phase” as the winner of Album of the Year, Kanye West jumped on stage to protest the surprising win.  The whole world held its breath for the microsecond when the rapper lunged towards Beck, anticipating another Taylor Swift moment.

But instead of jumping to Beyoncé’s defense (which would have been justifiable — her self-titled album was incredible), Kanye stepped back. A surprised Beck begged Kanye to come back on stage (likely in agreement that he didn’t deserve the award), but Yeezy joined his jilted friends back in the audience. The three-second interaction felt like a million years, and the result was the most hilariously awkward moment of the night.

Jay Z's Alleged Mistress Releases A Beyoncé Diss Track Titled 'Sorry Mrs. Carter'

Image Credit: Beyoncé's Instagram (beyonce)

Talk about bad timing. There's definitely some trouble lurking to end The Carters' paradise. Reports have been flying left and right about Beyoncé and Jay Z on the verge of a divorce after having quite a bumpy ride these past couple of months. The music moguls have yet to address the accuracy of these rumors but their passionate connection on stage during their 'On The Run' tour and appearances out and about with their daughter Blue Ivy seem to prove otherwise. Contrary to The Carters' affectionate actions, a rapper named Liv is claiming that Hip Hop's Bonnie and Clyde are not as happy as they claim to be.

In the past, Liv has been accused by tabloids of being Jay Z's mistress and she has recently decided to set the record straight once and for all. On August 4, the aspiring rapper posted a diss track to her Youtube channel titled "Sorry Mrs. Carter" aimed directly at Queen Bey. Although the woman admits she never had sexual relations with Jay Z, she claims that he prefers "flawless model chicks" like her. On top of all the cockiness that she spits on the track, Liv brags that  Jay Z wanted to sleep with her and claims he still thinks about her today.

Whether what this female claims is true or not, it's about time Beyoncé start putting these chicks back into there place because the disrespect towards her marriage has gotten too real.

Watch the Beyoncé diss track here.

Lil Kim DISSES Nicki Minaj on a BRAND NEW "Flawless" Remix!

So literally about a DAY after Beyoncé dropped her new remix to "Flawless" featuring Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim has dropped her own verse, and didn't have many nice things to say. It appears as if she was taking shots at SOMEONE, and by the subliminals she threw, it sure as hell sounds like she's talking about NICKI!

Take a look at the link below, to listen to Kim's verse on the new remix! Who do YOU think Kimmie is dissin?

Beyoncé Gives Her Take On The Elevatorgate Fight Between Solange & Jay Z On The "Flawless (Remix)"

Image Credit: Beyoncé's Official Website (beyonce.com)

Surprise, surprise! Beyoncé fans literally woke up and got flawless — the "Flawless (Remix)" that is. Queen Bey must have a fascination with releasing exciting, new projects in the middle of the night because a little after 1:00 am on August 3 is when she posted the remix to this pretty girl anthem featuring raptress Nicki Minaj on to her website. Mrs. Carter's alter ego Sasha Fierce totally made an appearance to set fire to this track as Bey turned her original sweet and seductive sound into a bars of a blunt,high-heel walking boss. Beyoncé was so confident on this track that even she addressed the elevatorgate scandal  — when a video surveillance camera recording of Beyoncè's sister Solange attacking her husband Jay Z at the Standard Hotel the night of the Met Gala leaked online and was published by TMZ.

Beyoncé sings:

"We escalate, up in this b-tch like elevators/ Of course sometimes sh-t go down/ When it’s a billion dollars on an elevator/ Of course sometimes sh-t go down/ When it’s a billion dollars on an elevator."

Teaming up with an out-of-the-box artist like Nicki Minaj gave Beyoncé a chance to get out of her comfort zone and let the critics know that she's has problems just like you but the difference is she's high up on the salary totem pole. This lethal record comes at a good time since various reports have surfaced of The Carters allegedly being on the verge of a divorce. As of now, both Solange and Beyoncè have individually addressed the incident outside of the press release that their management teams released after the story broke. The only person left for us to hear from is Jay Z. I'm curious to hear his side of the story in a track just as hard as Bey's "Flawless (Remix)" release.

Check out Beyoncè on the "Flawless(Remix)" ft. Nicki Minaj here.

Nicki Minaj Rumored To Have Pushed Back The Release of Her New Single ‘Anaconda’ For A Remix Collabo With Beyoncé

Image Credit: Nicki Minaj’s Instagram (nickiminaj)

Bow down bishes because the queens of mainstream are about to make it do what it do! Recently, Nicki Minaj has been under fire for the controversial, cheeky artwork for her new single “Anaconda” which was originally set to be released on July 28. According to HipHopWired, the YMCMB songstress may have a very good reason behind delaying her highly anticipated track until August 4.

Miss Minaj broke the news to her Barbz on July 27 via Instagram alongside new artwork for the single – minus her booty cheeks.

On July 30, HipHopWired reported that a music industry insider told them Nicki put a hinder on “Anaconda” for the hype that is about to break around the release of an alleged Beyoncé single that the rapper will be featured on.

If these rumors prove to be true, the shock factor around this alleged track will definitely hit the roof. Having both these talented females featured on the same track is the step in the right direction in terms of girl power in the music industry. And you already know Queen Bey’s angelic vocals and Nicki Minaj’s hard-hitting rhymes will put an exotic spin on whatever beat they chose to tear up in the end. The anticipation is high but now all we can do is wait for whatever flawless road these two phenomenal ladies decide to take.

New York Post Claims Beyonce & Jay Z Are On The Verge Of A Divorce

   

Image Credit: Beyoncé's Instagram (beyonce)

Beyoncé and Jay Z may be on the run from more than just their joint summer tour.  New York Post's Page Six is reporting that The Carters are currently on the run from each other. According to their unidentified source, Bey and Jay's marriage is on the rocks and Jay Z is doing all he can to save it although he is supposedly the one at fault.

Seeing as how Beyonce has been dangerously in love, crazy in love, and even drunk in love with her husband of six years, there is much speculation revolving around the truth of this report - but we'll let you decide for yourself.

The NY Post reports:

Beyoncé and Jay Z have more than 99 problems and only “divine intervention” can save the troubled marriage, a source close to the powerful couple has told The Post.

While Jay Z seemingly is the one most at fault, he’s also the one doing all in his power to keep the couple together, even hiring marriage counselors who are believed to be traveling with the super duo on their tour, the source said.

“They are trying to figure out a way to split without divorcing . . . This is a huge concert tour and they’ve already gotten most of the money from the promoters up front,” the source said.

Despite the tens of millions the couple will pocket from the current tour, this will certainly be their last and the end of the tour could officially spell the end of the marriage, the source said.

“There are no rings, if you haven’t noticed,” the source said, admitting that he thought things would get better after the birth of the couple’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.

“For just a split moment, things got real for them and she was even talking about adding to the family,” the source said.

“But, after a while, Jay was out doing Jay and Bey was out doing Bey. They made the classic mistake of thinking a child would change everything and help to rekindle the initial fire, and it didn’t.”

Being that Page Six does not have the best rapport when it come to blind items, the details surrounding this report still seem to good to be true. Like really . . who would ever want to see America's favorite power couple fold and crumble over a couple of bumps in the road? Do you really believe that Hip Hop's Bonnie and Clyde are on the verge of total destruction?

The "racist" Billboard Music Awards?

The above photo has been running wild on social media lately, claiming that the Billboard Music Awards are "racist," as all of the winners in each category are WHITE! Even the awards for Rap and R&B, were taken by Justin Timberlake, Macklemore, Robin Thicke, and Eminem.

The music industry seems to have gotten a LOT of these "categories" twisted lately. As I've stated in my precious posts, Macklemore is a pop artist, he is not a rapper, or hip hop artist in any aspect. Justin Timberlake also fits under the pop catergory as well. Robin Thicke can SOMETIMES pass as an R&B artist. But when we're talking about Eminem, their is NO other genre he can be placed under, other then rap/hip-hop.

Eminem took home the award for best rap artist, and best rap album. While many say this was not one of his best albums, let's take a look at the other nominees; 

Top Rap Album: 

Eminem-The Marshall Mathers LP2 (winner)

Jay-Z- Magna Carter Holy Grail

J. Cole- Born Sinner

Drake- Nothing Was The Same 

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis- The Heist

I see very little talent from most of these nominees. While J Cole is currently one of the greatest rap artists in my opinion, Jay-Z has made no improvements. He's the same old boring Hova. I guess you can say the same for Eminem, but you can't compare the two. Eminem is by far a much better emcee then Jay-Z. And Drake? He lacks talent 100%. Typical mainstream "pop/rap artist" that raps about the same things over and over again. Mostly soft, yet tries to be hard. For a kid from Canada that got into the rap game because he was on the Disney Channel as a kid, I don't understand why he comes off "hood" sometimes. Then, we have Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Really? They are absolutely atrocious. Again, typical POP STARS. So I'm just not seeing the issue on what's wrong with Eminem taking home this well deserved award.

Top Rap Artist:

Eminem (winner)

J. Cole

Jay-Z

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Pitbull

Wait, PITBULL?!? This guy is NOT even CLOSE to being AFFILIATED with Rap! Why has he been placed into this catergory? And again, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. What's with this tag team? I see rap ARTIST as the catergory, NOT artist(s). Can they separate already or are they just that bad, they need to hold each other's hand throughout their whole career? Both J. Cole and Jay-Z absolutely belong in this catergory, but they don't stand close to Eminem. 

Top R&B artist:

Justin Timberlake (winner)

Robin Thicke

Rihanna

Beyoncé 

Pharell Williams 

Top R&B Album:

Justin Timberlake- The 20/20 Experience (winner)

R. Kelly- Black Panties

Robin Thicke- Blurred Lines

Beyoncé- Beyoncé 

Timberlake is arguably considered an R&B artist, but I am in complete shock that Beyoncé didn't home these two.

Top Touring Artist:

Bon Jovi (winner)

Rihanna 

Bruce Springsteen 

Pink

Beyoncé 

....another one Beyoncé should've taken home. Shocked she didn't, and if it wasn't going to be her, I would've predicted Rihanna.

Top Female Artist:

Katy Perry (winner)

Lorde

Miley Cyrus

Rihanna

Beyoncé 

....yet ANOTHER one I would've expected Beyoncé to take. I am speechless. 

Racist or not, I think most would agree that The Billboard Music awards are just flat out, confused.

Hip Hop almost NON Existent at the Grammys, Robinson Cano in attendance, and more.

Via the official Instagram of Beyoncé.

The 54th annual Grammy awards has slapped the hip hop industry right in the face, this past Sunday night.

While LL Cool J hosted the show, along with a show opening performance by Beyoncé (later followed by a little help from Jay-Z), the Grammy's went on to prove that it is nothing more then a glorified, Pop/Rock Music Award Show. Jay-Z won the award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, for his hit "Holy Grail" featuring Justin Timberlake, amongst a few other awards throughout the night. Unfortunately, that's where the night ended for Hip Hop (other then an outstanding performance by Kendrick Lamar.)

Pop artist Macklemore, won the Grammy for Best Rap Album, along with Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best New Artist. After the show, Macklemore sent a text message to Kendrick, stating that Kendrick had gotten "robbed" of the Best Rap Album category. Okay, so if that's how you're REALLY feeling, then give him the Grammy! Kendrick DID get robbed and he absolutely deserved to win for all his hard work & struggle! 

Via the official Instagram of Macklemore.

Via the official Instagram of Robinson Cano.

Robinson Cano posted a picture on Instagram, sitting with Beyoncé and Jay-Z. I'm gonna say, since Robbie signed with Roc Nation Sports, his ego has gone through the roof. Cano seems to think he's a "super celebrity" now! I wonder if this "signing with Roc Nation Sports" trend, is going to effect CC's persona. Honestly, I wouldn't expect anything less then his normal self. A respectful athlete, who appreciates the organization he works for.  

Next years Grammys should be interesting. Judging by this year, it's looking like Hip Hop is gonna have less & less impact, year by year in the future.
