I was amused watching this Miguel interview with Shannon Sharpe talking about how musicians now want an artist-owned streaming service Wasn’t that why Jay-Z launched Tidal? He warned them but they didn’t listen. They all backed Spotify and Apple Music. And now here we are 🤣 I’m glad he... show more

When Apple launched the iTunes Store in 2003, the idea was simple: 99 cents per song. Looking back on that announcement, what stands out most is hearing Jobs reference subscription services, and why he believed that the streaming model couldn't work for music. A lot has changed since then, including attitudes toward music consumption. Apple Music launched over a decade later in 2015 under Tim Cook, but this is what Jobs had to say about music streaming in 2003: "People have told us over and over and over again, they don’t want to rent their music ... Music's not like a video."

BTS really amazed Diplo with their music knowledge. He kept talking about how "they know everything". He said he knows music, but they know more than him. Affectionately calling them "music nerds". This is what happens when leader Kim Namjoon takes his young team and makes playlists of different music genres and tasks the member to listen to them. Daily. Like homework. They grow up to be music nerds with a vast knowledge of genres and artists.

Pause. Pause and listen to Ryan explain how Body to Body was born. I was grinning the whole time. You can clearly see there’s a reason why once artists work with BTS, their whole perception about who they are changes. Just from watching this full interview, you can tell the kind of drive and mindset that comes from Ryan Tedder as an artist, as a producer, aligns very closely with who BTS are as artists and musicians and how they’ve always approached their work. There’s no ambiguity in their goals. And it’s not about making hits. But it’s about music that speaks to them. Music that then, also speaks to others. It’s enthralling to listen to. And it’s that misconception people have that skews first impressions. Until they meet BTS, dive deeper into their work, and realise oh shit. These guys are the real deal. They care about their music. About their fans. They care about what they say. They care about every single beat and lyric and flow. Not just putting a bunch of samples and words together. Ryan talks about that throughout this interview and it made me see why he was a part of Arirang the way he was. Incredible.

I didn’t know Ben Affleck was this smart 🧐 What he said here about streaming services reminded me of this Forbes video about it ruining music, and why artists with billions of streams don’t make as much money as Beyoncé. Streaming numbers basically add no value to the artist

Hitmaka explains to Shannon Sharpe that money isn't in streaming when he brings that Drake has already done over a billion streams (2) this year. "The money is in radio, it's in performance. This is what the real deal is, I can compare Spotify, Apple and everyone for you where you can get a real idea about it. They're TV networks, NFL got a deal with them, did you get a cheque from ABC? That's how hard it is to get a cheque from streaming. It's only a few companies in this business, Universal pretty much owns the whole music business. If Universal goes and does a deal with Spotify/Apple Music for their artists, they received a large lump sum, they ain't worried about that trickle down effect." "The top artists are going to make their money. The Taylor Swifts, the Drakes, they going to get good money."

JAY-Z says the music he was making recently was too dark to put out: “I don’t know how to make music that’s not reflective of how I’m feeling at the moment... I have a lot of scratch ideas and they like all bad. I got to be honest, they’re bad.” (via GQ)

JAY-Z - Stream Of Consciousness The Lore: The music industry(the 3 major labels) decided to change the music selling model from physical cds to streaming. They didn’t ask the artists for permission. They didn’t negotiate how much a stream would cost, they just did it & the trillion dollar assets they used to start it was the artists’ music. JAY-Z, someone who’s extremely passionate about ownership of one’s music, said no. He wasn’t going to allow them to make billions off his music. Prince, Beyoncé, & a few others also objected. 💯 Instead of crying, JAY-Z paid $56 million for Tidal & gave FREE equity to a dozen-plus artists. However, unlike Spotify & Apple Music… Tidal received major backlash. People said if they supported Tidal it would just be the rich getting richer. Completely ignoring the fact that Spotify was worth billions & APPLE is worth even more. Fine. & Again, instead of more crying, he proceeded to build Tidal into a now billion dollar company & then sold shares of it to his friend Jack Dorsey for $300 million while still negotiating to ensure the other artists maintained their shares. Those artists made about $9 million each solely because Jay gifted them equity in a company HE paid for. This freestyle was months after purchasing Tidal to address his people directly & to address the backlash from the media. “I don’t take no checks I take my respect Pharrell even told me go with the safest bet, Jimmy Iovine offered a safety net, Google dangled around a crazy check, I feel like YouTube is the biggest culprit, Them niggas pay you a tenth of what you supposed to get”

🤔📱 The Irony Of Jay-Z’s 30-Year “Reasonable Doubt” Celebration Being Sponsored By Apple Music One of the most surprising developments in hip-hop business history might be seeing Apple Music support Jay-Z’s 30th anniversary celebration for Reasonable Doubt after years of Jay publicly positioning himself against Apple and other major streaming platforms. Let’s not forget the history: 📅 2013: Jay-Z Partners With Samsung When Jay-Z released Magna Carta Holy Grail, he partnered with Samsung in an effort to create an alternative path outside of Apple’s ecosystem. The deal was viewed as a direct challenge to Apple’s dominance and a way to push culture toward Samsung rather than the iPhone. 📅 2015: The TIDAL Era After acquiring TIDAL, Jay-Z became one of the loudest voices advocating for artist ownership and independence from major tech corporations. During his famous TIDAL concerts and speeches, Jay questioned why consumers were willing to support billion-dollar corporations like Apple and Spotify but were hesitant to support a Black-owned streaming platform. 🗣️ His message was clear: “Artists over algorithms.” He argued that ownership mattered more than convenience and that creators deserved a larger share of the revenue generated from their work. 📅 2017: Jay-Z Takes Shots At Apple Music On 4:44, Jay-Z appeared to address the streaming wars directly on “Smile.” 🗣️ “F*** a slice of the apple pie, want my own cake.” 🗣️ “Respect Jimmy Iovine, but he gotta respect the Elohim as a whole new regime.” The message was obvious: Jay didn’t want a piece of Apple’s business. He wanted ownership and control of his own platform. 📅 2018: Jay-Z & Beyoncé’s “BOSS” On Everything Is Love, Jay-Z seemingly doubled down on those frustrations. 🗣️ “Ns getting jerked, that s hurts, I take it personally. N***s rather work for the man than to work with me.” Many interpreted the line as frustration toward artists choosing deals with Apple Music and other corporate giants instead of supporting TIDAL and Black-owned ventures. 📅 2026: Apple Music Sponsors Jay-Z’s Brooklyn Celebration Fast forward to today, and Apple Music is helping support Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt 30-year anniversary pop-up event in Brooklyn. 👀 The same company that was once viewed as TIDAL’s biggest competitor is now partnering with Jay-Z to celebrate one of the most important albums in hip-hop history. The bigger question is: Was Jay-Z wrong back then, or is this simply business evolving? Because for over a decade, Jay-Z preached ownership, independence, and building alternatives to tech giants. Now one of those very tech giants is helping celebrate his legacy. 💭 Maybe this is proof that business isn’t personal. 💭 Maybe it’s proof that ownership battles eventually become partnership opportunities. 💭 Or maybe it’s just another reminder that in the music industry, today’s competitor can become tomorrow’s business partner. Either way, if you followed the Samsung, TIDAL, Apple Music, and streaming wars over the last decade, seeing Apple Music attached to a Jay-Z celebration is something very few people would’ve predicted back in 2015.

Shakur Stevenson addresses his contentious interview with Shannon Sharpe: "That was real. That's how he truly felt, and he got exactly what he was looking for. It's disrespectful when you don't have knowledge of the true science and the things that make up the sport. It's like you're just talking out of your body, you don't know enough. That's why I called them ignorant."

What happens when a global recording artist is also a self taught technologist? In this episode of IsraelTech, Yoel Israel sits down with global artist Nissim Black to explore the intersection of music, technology, AI, media, and spirituality. Before becoming an internationally known artist, Nissim grew up watching computers being built in his home and experimenting with music production equipment as a kid. That early exposure shaped the way he approaches creativity and technology today. They discuss how podcasting and music production rely on many of the same tools, how AI is already transforming the music industry, and why independent creators now have more power than traditional media. The conversation also dives into deeper questions about morality, media narratives, and why technology itself is not the real risk. The real question is how people choose to use it. This episode covers everything from AI generated music to the future of media platforms and why storytelling still matters more than ever. Hosted by Yoel Israel
