Jay Z Screw Tidal's Critics ... Says He Is The Steve Jobs Of Music Streaming

Jay Z ripped into everyone who's bashing his new business ... as only he can -- by uncorking a blistering freestyle in which he compared himself to the founders of Apple and Nike.

Watch Video below

 

The lyrical attack came during Jay's 'B-Sides' concert last night, which aired on Tidal ... his music streaming service. Critics have accused the rap mogul of charging users more for Tidal -- compared to similar services -- simply because his name is attached to it.

Jay Z's point? Steve Jobs was rich, and everyone bought iPhones ... and "Phil Knight is worth trillions, you still bought them kicks."

Check it out ... he also accuses Google and YouTube of underpaying artists -- or as he put it, "You know n***as die for equal pay right? You know when I work I ain't your slave, right?"

Kim Jong-Un EXECUTES His Defence Minister With An Anti-Aircraft Gun In Front Of Hundreds Of Spectators - Because He Dozed Off During A North Korean Military Ceremony

Hyon Yong-Chol, 66, (main image) who was named head of North Korea's military in 2012, was killed in the capital Pyongyang by a ZPU-4 anti-aircraft gun (inset) on April 30. The official was last known to have spoken publicly at a security conference in Moscow earlier that month, but is understood to have been arrested shortly afterwards on charges of showing disrespect to Kim Jong-un (top right) by falling asleep at a military event and making public complaints about him. It is not the first time anti-aircraft guns have been used for public executions in North Korea, with recently released satellite images (bottom right) showing a number of unidentified people being killed using the brutal method last October. In those executions, the targets were just 100 feet away from the weapons, which have a range of 8,000 metres.

Airlines Hit Hard by Acute Aviation Fuel Scarcity, Arik, Aero, Dana, Others Cancel Flights

There's trouble in the skies as practically all the nation’s airlines are now suspending, cancelling and rescheduling flights, amidst acute aviation fuel shortage.

First to formally acknowledge there’s a big issue with procuring the essential aviation fuel was Nigeria’s largest indigenous airline, Arik Air.

The airline had to cancel the last of its Owerri-Abuja evening flight on Sunday, April 26, 2015 as a result of scarcity of aviation fuel.

Arik had to scale down flight operations all through last week.    Things got so bad that the Managing Director of the airline, Mr. Chris Ndulue warned they might suspend flights if the scarcity persisted.

Arik’s position jolted the aviation sector as concerns were raised over the fate of thousands of passengers who would be stranded at the various airports across the country as Nigeria major airline planed to suspend flight operations due to the lingering aviation fuel scarcity in the country.

List Of 10 Most Corrupt Nations In The World According To Transparency International

Sometimes you wonder if the yardstick used to measure corruption index. Anyway, it is amazing that despite all the cries of corruption activities in a country like Nigeria, its name is not in the top-ten most corrupt countries according to transparency international!

10. Eritrea

Corruption score:

18 Power structure: Single-Party Presidential Democracy

Eritrea is a new entrant onto the list this year, having vaulted from number 25 to number 10 in 2014. Many people may have never even heard of Eritrea, let alone be aware of the corruption issues the country faces. Eritrea is located in Africa, bordering the Red Sea directly across from Saudi Arabia, bordering Djibouti to the south and Sudan to the north. Eritrea is a small and relatively poor country, with a GDP of only $3.44 billion, and a population of 6.3 million.

The situation in Eritrea is clearly in flux. After years of relative self-imposed isolation, Eritrea has begun opening its borders to foreign business and investment, along with privatizing state-owned assets. That has allowed for some government officials, and others in power, to take advantage of their positions for personal profit. With undeveloped legal, economic, and political framework, the country has had a lot of trouble finding a stable foothold in the international community.

Until Eritrea can sort out its internal problems, it’s likely that the country’s numerous issues will continue. Due to rule by a single party — despite being a democracy — a suitable minority party that can successfully challenge for power is likely what is needed. The economy is expected to continue to stagnate, and the prospect of war in the region spilling over into the country’s borders are also concerns for foreign investors.
