#PSBPopCulture: Will Apple Purchase Tidal? – July 1, 2016

By: Alli Lhamon @allilhamonn and Brandon Clay @PSBPopCulture

According to a Wall Street Journal report, Apple could possibly be buying out Tidal Music. If Apple buys Tidal, new music from artists originally signed with Tidal, including Jay-Z, Kanye West and Beyonce, will now be available on Apple Music the day they release it. Apple already boasts some of the world’s top acts including Drake.

ALLI: The switch will be beneficial to most everyone. Most people subscribe to Apple Music because it comes with their iPhone. With that being said, no one is trying to pay for two music subscriptions. So, if Tidal makes the switch, a lot of music will be more accessible to us.

BRANDON: I’m an Apple Music subscriber. I’ll be ecstatic if this deal goes through. I don’t watch a ton of music videos but had a tough time getting the latest Kanye West album, “The Life of Pablo.” This will save us all a couple of hours in the long run. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see Apple pass the cost of adding the Tidal client base to the service right on to the consumer.

#EntertainmentPSB: Beyonce´ – “Formation” Tour – May 4, 2016

Beyonce´ Knowles-Carter had herself quite a week with her latest album, Lemonade, debuting at No. 1 on the charts while her nationwide “Formation” Tour got underway as well. PSBPopCulture.com Team Member, Taylor Johnson, joined me for the Atlanta stop. Held inside the Georgia Dome, 50,000 fans were on hand for the two-hour long performance. Here’s a look back at the night:

#iTunesSounds: Beyonce´- “Lemonade” – April 27, 2016

Beyonce´ did it with this one even creating an hour long visual film to coincide with the album. Make sure to watch it. From start to finish, the music is diverse but is easy to follow. Here’s a look at some of my favorite songs and lyrics off the album.

The buzz over the weekend was crazy and sparked conversations with some of my favorite people: Jordan Davis, Donte Grant, Jacie Hoyt, Taylor Johnson, Maci Morris and Cameron Sealey amongst others.

Sidenote: There are some (not so) subtle references to alleged infidelity rumors floating around her husband Jay-Z and Rachel Roy. Queen Bey wastes no time getting into the topic…

1) Pray You Catch Me

“You can taste the dishonesty. It’s all over your breath as you pass it off so cavalier…pray I catch you whispering, pray you catch me listening.”

2) Hold Up

“Let’s imagine for a moment that you never made a name for yourself or mastered wealth had you labeled as a king. Never made it out the cage, still out there moving in them streets. Never had the baddest woman in the game between your sheets.”

4) Sorry

“I ain’t thinkin bout you. Middle fingers up. Put them hands high. Put it in his face. Tell that boy bye.”

7) Love Drought

“Nine times out of ten I’m in my feelings and ten times out of nine I’m only human tell me what did I do wrong.”

8) Sandcastles

“Although I promised and I could have stayed (baby). Every promise don’t work out that way.”

11) All Night

Note: Don’t let the old school OutKast “SpottieOttieDopaliscious” sample slide by you. That’s all.

12) Formation

“Cause I slay (times a million).”
