Jay Z Freestyles Live During TIDAL Concert!

Jay Z slams YouTube, Spotify, and Apple during Tidal concert

When Jay Z launched Tidal — his new music streaming site — in March, he promised to give exclusive content to subscribers, who pay between $9.99 and 19.99 per month.

This weekend, the rapper delivered on the promise by performing the first of two special "B Side" shows in New York City, which was streamed live for subscribers.

During the concert, Jay Z took the opportunity to respond to critics of Tidal. Skeptics have even included fellow famous musicians like Mumford & Sons, Lily Allen, and Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard, who told The Daily Beast that Tidal "is going to fail miserably" because of it's approach of making rich musicians richer.

"So I’m the bad guy now, I hear, because I don’t go with the flow," Jay Z said to 3,000 fans at Terminal 5 on Saturday, according to PageSix. "I’m never gonna go with the flow, I’m never gonna let nobody take over our music . . . This Tidal thing is all about the music. We gonna preserve the music, we ain’t gonna let nobody take our music. We ain’t gonna let nobody offer our music up and do what the f--- they wanna do."

Jay Z proceeded to do a freestyle rap that slammed YouTube, Spotify, and Apple, among others.
