Meek Mill is already looking ahead towards 2021 for his next big venture.
The Dreams & Nightmares rapper is looking to buy into Silicon Valley to develop the next digital streaming platform and is looking at his peers to help him with it.
“Me lil baby Durkio tryna getT somebody in Silicon Valley to build us our own music platform we can be majority owner in,” Meek tweeted on Friday (Christmas Day). “We will pay!! We need top Silicon Valley steppers please!”
He followed up, “21 gone link in too we need some app options we looking for the best platform builders!!!! Tryna get started 2021”
Rappers and musicians, in general, have discussed openly the lack of earnings they receive from streaming platforms. Even the Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey alerted fans of the lack of substantial pay from streams while celebrating her “All I Want For Christmas Is You” single breaking a Spotify record for single-day streaming.
“WOW,” she tweeted on Friday. “I know people think I’m making “coin” (lil’ secret: artists make very little from streams) but the real reason I’m sitting here in astonishment & gratitude is seeing the joy this little song I wrote brings to people. THANK YOU & MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!”
According to a 2018 article by Digital Music News, the DSP which pays artists the most is Napster with $0.019 per stream, followed by JAY-Z’s TIDAL at $0.0125 and Apple paying $0.00735 per stream. Currently, YouTube pays the lowest rate of any DSP with $.00069 per stream.
Square CEO Jack Dorsey May Be Looking To Buy TIDAL From JAY-Z
Meek’s gesture comes on the heels of a rumored report of Jack Dorsey, CEO of both Square and Twitter looking to join the DSP game by purchasing Hov’s TIDAL imprint. There’s been no word on whether Hov has any intention to sell, even as he and Dorsey spent time together in the Hamptons this past summer.
does he know a 7th grader can build a streaming platform? or theres plenty of open source or closed alternative he can monetize, or his entire discog can be downloaded in 3 minutes? production and shows weirdo how long he been in the game, ill build hin 1 fr 1M haha sillyCON valley gonna charge 100 times itll be worth billions i tell ya yeah thats the ticket clown
if he was really bout it he wouldnt be begging for help in tweets. shit he might as well post a craigslist ad looking for “silicon valley steppers” too while hes as it
I don’t recall Chamillionaire or anybody else hopping on Twitter with lil boy typing referencing silicon valley moves. They just did it. I swear even this cats tweets look lame.
So when they are buying expensive cars for their girlfriends and making it rain in strip clubs, they didn’t know they weren’t making much money, eh?
i cant wait until someone bodies meek and im not talkin about music
Lmao y’all are some broke ass haters. If you ain’t a fan why you even click on the article? Self made millionaires trying to get a bigger piece of the pie and y’all hating, why? Because he isn’t afraid to say he needs help in this space?
Really its not hating to me. He just sound lame whenever he tweet or talk. I dont count other folks money but a lame guy thats rich is a lame guy thats rich. He still rich. That dont negate the lame.
Jay is selling tidal to square. Tidal did millions of fake streams for beyonce lemonade and kanye the life of pablo. Norwegian staff told.police then signed a non disclosure agreement and got big money payments. Since jay is selling tidal, roc nation and friends need a replacement, to create the fake stream income and fake numbers, for their artists. This is why meek mill is announcing this now. Meek mill and jay-z run “the reform alliance” whose lawyers secretly met with trump during the protests in 2020 against police brutality. They met with trump to try and stop the protests. And to position jay-z, meekmill, kim kardashian etc, as morr powerful and imfluential celebrities. Jay-z his restaurant workers went on strike as he yreat them badly. Brooklyn nets i think he lied about their investment hrlping ordinary peope, he lied for a xheck from them. To help the corporations get away with hurting every day people. Roc nation partnered with NFL to distract from xriticism of them blackballing colin kaepernick. Jay-z created fake publicity stunts, such as a pretend ‘try out’ for kaepernick, to try and discredit kaepernick, to stop NFL being criticised. After kaepernick was blackballed for publicising social justice causes, such as police brutality. Therefore, meek and jay arecompletely selfish and untrustworthy. They do not careabout the people. They just want fake streams, money and power for themselves. Meek also beat and abused nicki minaj (altho she treats other badly herself). Tidal was a lie. “We will make artists be paid fairer” they announced. This isuntrue, 94% of artists earn less than £200 per year drom streaming. If meek cared he would help the #JusticeAtSpotify movement. Hedoes not care. He begging, publicity, on insyagram,on Christmas day, for white people in silicon valley, to hand him a platform. He clearly has zero power. He is a pawn, a tool, a sellout.
All that writing lmao but Jay-Z already made triple on his tidal investment by selling 25% of the company to Sprint. See “it’s this kinda talk that makes me thing you probably ain’t got no pudding”
Excellentthey deleted the realest comments. Love you warner !
Why not just make moves in the background and announce it if and when it happens. This thing of trying to get peoples attention trying to look industrious is corny on social media. And Meek unfortunately is guilty of that, time and time again. That’s like Dr Dre tweeting “hey y’all, me and Iovine finna invest on some headphones…looking to all businesses to invest…” Pssh…
This. Real business men don’t share that shit on twitter. They make shit happen. Ain’t no one going to make a deal with this clown.
A Digital Signal Processor? Wow so all of them are some tech engineers i had no idea
Lmaoooo. Just look at these fools. No one is doing business with their hooligan asses.
Hooligan? Ok Boomer. Back to the trailer park.
