I cant remember where I saw it, but Portishead made $2500 for 34 MILLION streams.

I mean I made more than that in one month with my self-produced exercise videos that I sell off my own url.

When u see that, its easy to say F-YES remove it all Prince. I mean seriously can you blame the artists for being upset? I really can't.

But TIDAL is still a TURD sandwich.

Apple should give Prince an advance since he acts as his own publishing/music label, so if spotify is giving sony an advance, then Princes publishing/label should also receive an advance.

The shiesters here are the record labels (surprise) and to be honest the answer isnt charging MORE (tidal) its forcing change with the record labels ....

and that is why TIDAL and all its celeb corporate shills is a turd sandwich. Jay Z & Madonna could be forcing the labels to pay out better, BUT INSTEAD OF GOING AGAINST THEIR MASTERS, they jack the price up and gouge the consumer.

The biggest BS disappointment in tidals awful launch was the pathetic attempt at rebelliousness - instead of railing against the people who are stealoing their money (labels) they just want the consumer to pay more...because at the end of the day - none of them have the nerve PRINCE DID when he went solo.

TIDALS entire crew of bloated self-congratulatory corprate titty-suckers do not equal the balls of one PRINCE.


If Prince let me handle some business, I'd figure out a way to make his streaming figure as an advertising EXPENSE --- Prince sweetie, call me - I'm a shark in a hot minidress lololol

if prince pulls out of this..itll have monumental effects..dont u think? so he does have a lot of power

i do think it will be bad for tidal if he bounces but...he doesnt have to be exclusive with ANY of the services, who ever pays him what he wants should get his catalogue to stream ....i think it was no skin off his nose to give tidal a shot - they probably gave him an advance that made him happy for a limted time exclusive...i cant imagine he's not shopping around and talking to apple & spotify...
