Tidal Waves
The Jay-Z trilogy: a sale (Rocawear), a purchase (Aspiro/Tidal), and an acquisition (Square buys Tidal). This episode covers the messy middle — the years between Jay buying Tidal and Jack Dorsey buying it from him. What happened in between tells you everything about what happens when platform governance, artist rights, and streaming economics collide without clear structure.
