Kanye West’s ‘The Life Of Pablo’ & Exclusive Content Help Tidal Double Its Membership

(AllHipHop News) Even though many music executives predicted the Jay Z led entertainment platform Tidal would fold in under a year, the service may have finally found its footing in the competitive streaming marketplace. Thanks in part to fellow artist-owner Kanye West.

[ALSO READ: Is A Deluxe Physical Edition Of Kanye West’s ‘The Life Of Pablo’ On The Way?]

TMZ reports Kanye’s latest album The Life Of Pablo set a streaming record for the service and the Tidal exclusive project helped the company more than double its subscribers to 2.5 million users. Tidal crossed the one million mark last September.

Kanye premiered TLOP during his “Yeezy Season 3” fashion show/listening session at New York City’s Madison Square Garden earlier this month. The event was streamed live on Tidal, and over 20 million people around the world tuned in.

Other Tidal artist-owners have provided exclusive content through the platform as well. In January, Rihanna released her latest album Anti on Tidal for free. The LP collected 1 million downloads and was streamed over 13 million times in 14 hours.

On Monday, T.I. announced he was the newest Tidal artist-owner. The Atlanta rapper celebrated by performing a free concert in his hometown which was only available for streaming on Tidal. The platform also recently debuted season 2 of the popular webseries Money & Violence.

Since Jay Z, Kanye, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Usher, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, and several other music stars revealed the revamped Tidal service in May 2015, notable entertainers such as Lil Wayne and Damien Marley have signed on as artist-owners as well.

In addition the service has hosted numerous live events such as Jay’s “B-Sides” concert, Lil Wayne’s “Lil Weezyana Fest,” Young Jeezy’s “Let’s Get It: TM101” 10th Anniversary Concert, the Made In America Festival, and the TIDAL X 1020 concert.

While the company seems to be attracting new users, Tidal is still far behind its streaming competitors as far as total number of subscribers. Spotify is the industry leader with reportedly close to 25 million paid subscribers. Apple Music is said to have over 10 million paid subscribers in more than 100 countries.

Tidal has also faced significant turnover at the executive level. In December, Jeff Toig was named the company’s third CEO in less than a year. After his hiring, Toig told Billboard, “I spent a lot of time with Jay during the interview process and he’s an incredibly talented and visionary businessman and he is deeply committed to Tidal. This isn’t a short-term play. This is a long-term investment.”

Ryan Coogler, Royce Da 5’9”, Vic Mensa, Jon Connor & More To Take Part In #JusticeForFlint Charity Event On Oscars Night

(AllHipHop News) Several high-profile entertainers will be spending their Oscar night on Sunday raising money for the victims of the Flint Water Crisis. Acclaimed filmmaker Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station, Creed) is using his Blackout for Human Rights organization to host the star-studded affair at Flint’s The Whiting Auditorium.

The goal of the free event is to promote solidarity and support for the communities affected by the lead poisoning in Flint, Michigan. #JusticeForFlint will feature live musical performances from Flint native Jon Connor as well as Royce Da 5’9″, Vic Mensa, Denaun Porter, Jasiri X, Mysonne, Janelle Monae, Jussie Smollett, Robert Glasper, Ledisi, Andra Day, and Musiq Soulchild.

Selma director Ava DuVernay and Grey’s Anatomy star Jesse Williams are set to be on hand as well. Comedian Hannibal Buress will serve as master of ceremonies.

“With the #JusticeForFlint benefit event we will give a voice to the members of the community who were the victims of the choices of people in power who are paid to protect them, as well as provide them with a night of entertainment, unity, and emotional healing,” Ryan Coogler told BuzzFeed. “Through the live stream we will also give a chance for people around the world to participate, and to donate funds to programs for Flint’s youth.”

While the charity gathering is scheduled to take place the same night as the Academy Awards ceremony, Coogler contends the overlap was not an intentional display of support for the #OscarsSoWhite boycott. The 29-year-old California native – who many observers felt was snubbed for a Best Director Oscar nod this year for Creed – says the date was chosen because it fell on the final weekend of Black History Month.

Blackout for Human Rights teamed with other sponsoring individuals and organizations based in Flint such as Michigan Faith In Action and Flint Democracy Defense League. Additional sponsors include REVOLT TV, the Campaign for Black Male Achievement, Color of Change, All Def Digital, ARRAY, and the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 10.

Blackout for Human Rights is a collective of filmmakers, artists, activists, and concerned citizens that devote their resources to address human rights violations in the United States. Members include founder Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, Charles King, Ava DuVernay, Jesse Williams, Nate Parker, John Burris, Donald “Childish Gambino” Glover, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rosa Clemente, Scott Budnick, David Oyelowo, Michael McBride, and many others.

#JusticeForFlint is scheduled for Sunday, February 28 at 5 pm. The showcase will stream live on revolt.tv, Donations will be collected at the event and via text. For more information visit the Blackout for Human Rights Facebook page.

French Montana: The Industry Is Pushing Kendrick Lamar To Shift Music Away From Street Rap (VIDEO/POLL)

(AllHipHop News) Kendrick Lamar is definitely having his moment right now. The Compton emcee just won five Grammy awards and his To Pimp A Butterfly album has been heralded as the musical voice of the Black Lives Matter movement. One New York city rapper seems to believe the overwhelming acknowledgement for Kendrick’s style of Hip Hop is playing a role in preventing the rise of street rap to the mainstream.

While Kendrick does address gang activity and the struggles of urban America in his music, he also incorporates production and lyrical content that differ from a lot of modern-day street-centered rap. French Montana stopped by The Breakfast Club this week, and the Coke Boys leader was asked for his thoughts on why Kendrick’s albums sell more than projects featuring street music.

“Because they position [Kendrick], like how they did at the Grammys, as the new music. It’s not that it’s not the right thing to do, but you see like the whole thing was Kendrick night,” responded French. “That [To Pimp A Butterfly] album don’t sound like nothing that’s out – the whole Hip Hop.”

He added, “I feel like they just position you as the new face of Hip Hop… They put him on that platform so they can shift music towards that direction.”

Kanye West Blasts Music Producer Bob Ezrin, Sends Subtle Shot At Taylor Swift

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West once again took to Twitter to express his frustration. This time his target was Canadian music producer Bob Ezrin. The 66-year-old industry veteran – best known for working with Alice Cooper, Kiss, and Pink Floyd  – recently wrote a biting critique of West.

[ALSO READ: Kanye West Blasts “White Publications”, Says ‘TLOP’ Will Never Be For Sale]

In the newsletter, Ezrin suggested that Kanye West is not as talented or valuable of an artist as Jay Z, Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., M.C. Hammer, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, or Macklemore. At one point he said, “Instead Kanye’s greatest achievements have been in the form of excessive behavior, egomaniacal tantrums and tasteless grandstanding.”

Kanye got wind of Ezrin’s statement and fired back on social media. The rant included the “Ultralight Beam” performer posting, “I’m tired of old people that have no connection with anything trying to comment on music!

Ye’s tweet spree also had at slight shot at Taylor Swift. Kanye wrote, “I made Dark Fantasy and Watch the Throne in one year and wasn’t nominated for either and you know who has 2 albums of the year.”

Swift recently won her second Grammy award for Album Of The Year (Fearless, 1989), but Kanye has been shut out in the category three times (The College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation).

The AOTY Grammy reference in Ye’s tweet seems like critical commentary of the fact that Swift has won 2 times while he has yet to be rewarded with the honor. Recently, the two superstars once again had issues with each other over lyrics in Kanye’s song “Famous.”

What Had Happened: Karen Civil Dishes On Beef Between Jay Z & Cam-Ron

Pushing sixteens or pushing whips– Karen Civil, recently spoke with Tax Stone — and provided insight into the often tumultuous relationship between Jay Z and Cam’Ron. With her introspective anecdote, she reflected on an incident that transpired between Killa Cam and Hov. Although, no apparent road rage ensued, this incident stemmed from a parking spot.

The place was Def Jam,  the time was many many moons ago.  “Jay Z was pulling up in his Maybach, right? You know how Def Jam was on the side of the Universal building at the time? So Cam was in this turtle top like parked right there and he was talking to Duke, we were near the car,” reminisced the music insider.”

Then the Harlem rapper demonstrated his disregard for his boss. “And then this Maybach wants to pull up and they honk. I’m like ‘Oh I think that’s Hov’ so I back up. Cam’s like ‘Chill out.’ So then the car beeps again. And Cam ain’t move. So then Jay had to get out the car and he walked over cause he wanted to see who was in the car, like who wouldn’t move out the way. So then he came over, he looked…,” she revealed.

“Dipset was out of the building the next week. And so we set up shop in Juelz’s studio for a little bit…I’ll never forget this,” she matter-of-factly stated. Employing his power, Jay Z then allegedly used his people to handle the lightweight issue. “He dapped everyone, he nodded, he made a mental note,” was Jay’z reaction to the situation.

Later, Hov  then exerted his will. “Then they said, I think it was HR or whatever, is like, ‘Hey guys I’m gonna need you to wrap this up cause technically you guys aren’t here.’ It was such a crazy experience, but Cam is Cam, he don’t care. He’s still the same now on his Instagram. You gotta love him for who he is. He doesn’t switch up,” said Karen Civl.

Supposedly, 50 Cent knew that The Game & Lloyd Banks would reconnect ahead of time. 50 recently sat down with The Streetz Is Watching Sirius radio show powered by The Academy and DJ Sense to talk Puffy and Ciroc, Power, Kanye’s antics, Desiigner, The Game and Lloyd, and more. 50 stated,

“He called me ahead of the photograph, and I listened to him, heard everything he was saying, and was like, okay cool. I don’t have passion for the situation, I don’t wake up with those intentions. I’m doing other sh*t. So when you look at it and go, when you see people say I wonder what 50 think and I go, I don’t think it matters as much, how I feel about it.’ Well [G-Unit affiliate Lodi] Mack is dead, how does he feel about it? And process is not Game’s doing far from that. But an association, it turns into something moving for someone who has been on the other side with Jimmy Henchman.”

“It’s not East Coast West Coast, it’s East Coast East Coast and it turns into something else. In those situations, you go and look. I’m not alright with someone playing with someone’s kids. To be honest with you, I just spanked what’s his name (Rick Ross) for that, for playing around with my little boy.”

“But if I go somewhere with you and we’re together, you wrong. I’m still with you. I tell you you’re wrong when we get to the house after the sh*t is over. Man, what the f*ck did you just do? You’re gonna do that now while we’re here?! I dare you n*gga, go ‘head! Go ‘head n*gga, you think you’re ready? Go ‘head!”

Basically 50 had prior knowledge, and whether he knew before or after, he had to let you know how he felt about it on social media. Although Game says that he’s taken the grown man approach with the situation, as of right now, 50 still isn’t with it!

Oh Fetty! It looks like Fetty Wap’s life is about to get pretty expensive. One of his baby mama’s, Love & Hip Hop’s Masika, plans to take a lot from him. Masika maintains her claims that Fetty Wap is definitely the father of her unborn child, and that he was the only one she was sexually involved with between late June and early July. Apparently Fetty doesn’t completely believe he’s the father, and there is only one way to find out! Masika has submitted court papers demanding Fetty take a paternity test. Masika is demanding child support, and living expenses. She also plans to seek full custody of the child. She also claims that she needs $17K a month total, and of that $17K, $4,500 will go to rent, $820 to the housekeeper, and $2,000 for clothes. Hmmmmmmm but these rappers don’t want to wear condoms to protect themselves from diseases or unwanted children. We will see how this pans out.
