Jay Z Talks Tidal At New York University & Hostos Community College (Video)

Jay Z visited both New York University and Hostos Community College to speak on Tidal. The rapper and mogul explained that he does not agree with someone profiting off of someone else’s talent. He explains the power will be back into the artists’ hands with his streaming service. It seems, from a few Instagram clips, that Hov took some questions while at HCC in the Bronx.

Watch below.

#Jayz at #Hostos explains how little #music is respected. He had the students who stated #musicshouldbefree stand up and asked them if they ever bought #water. #waterisfree and people still pay for it. Someone worked real hard to #gethemusicout. It's not about the #bigartist it's about everyone else involved in the #musicmaking. #tidal #TIDALforALL @endraboy #Musicproducer #boydre

Shout outs to jay-z for showing love at my college was a pleasure and inspiration for you to spend 3 hours and even involve a scholarship program that revolves around the phenomenal and genius #tidalforall #tidal
