no not Jay Z. I know Prince used Tidal for his music streaming, but I am not sure how I feel about Jay Z, rearranging Prince's music.

I honestly think Warner Brothers should buy it because they knew Prince and his sound. Jay Z may put some rap spin on Prince's music. No, no

Prince didn't have a problem with Jay-Z. Princce did have a problem with WB. I'm surprised people would rather WB ended up owning the music Prince fought them for.

I'd guess if the estate had accepted we'd be hearing about it. More likely they're using J's $40 million offer as a way to negotiate a higher price from the big labels.

Right. He is definately deflecting the fans from knowing some likely currently business deals going on.

Wow really? That is news to me because I read articles when was alive he was pleased with Jay-z deal.

Prince did not have a problem with Jay or TIDAL.

Remember, he gave them "Black Sweat" from his final show in Atlanta literally days before he passed.

I am currently trying to hunt down the exact quote...it wasn't this huge bashing of Jay-Z, just that he was choosing to move away from the Tidal thing. I have researched EVERYTHING from A-Z, and this was stated. I'm just furious because it's like people have stated "Theives in the temple"...and trying to figure out who the "Jubilant Judas" was. It's as if now that P is gone, the bloodhounds are out.

Ask yourself this too....if Jay-Z and P were on good terms and they were so tight, why have we not heard ANYTHING (that I'm aware of) from Jay-Z's camp? He did nothing for any of the tributes, nor was there for any memorials

Okay thanks for clarifying, Militant. Because I read Prince's final interviews between 2014 and 2015 and he was praising Jay-Z and Tidal.

Oh okay

But Prince even still did his Purple Pick of the Week with Tidal on April 18 and also after Prince's death Jay-Z and Tidal show love for Prince. Just because Jay-Z didn't do a tribute as far as I know it doesn't mean he didnt appreciate or respect the man. Here is the article: http://variety.com/2016/d...1201758524

I can't believe I am sort of defending Jay Z which I am not.

You are not going to find anything. They were still getting music right up to the day in died and the rest showed up a few days after. Prince was getting a higher rate for streaming then he would have received from the other services so he was happy.

I do not hink Jay Z is buying anything I think the family wants to give Tidal exclusive licensing rights to Prince unrealeashed music to stream only on Tidal. This is the fastest means to get it out and keeps money coming in the door.

I also still wonder if Prince had money in Tidal as one of Jay-Z selling points was ownership in the business.

Agree with you. Jay Z is a snake....would never support Tidal. [Edited 10/26/16 11:17am]

Well then you are missing out. You can go to the Tidal store and buy everything to own and you are supporting the Prince estate not just Jay Z. I am not a fan of Jay Z music but I honestly do not see why people make him out to be the devil.

Some of you Prince fans I give a major side eye too. I hope this is not true. This would be the WORSE business deal in the history of music. There is NO WAY Jay Z is trustworthy and I would hate for Prince unreleased music to be in his hands at a small payment of 40 million Prince music is worth way MORE!!

Jay Z is a snake, backstabber, horrible business man and person and he doesn't care about Prince or his legacy. I can see it now, him bragging about owning Prince music just like how he bragged about having Prince music on Tidal. He doesn't give a fuq about Prince or preserving his legacy. This is a "business deal" to him.

Diiing! Correct answer.

The first thing people need to ask themselves is when did Tyka's husband become authorized to negotiate on behalf of the estate? That pic in and of itself is shady as hell.

Where did all the conspiranoids go? They sure as hell need to jump on this story.

I can't stand Jay-Z. What did Prince think about him? What happened with the falling out?
