Here is the full bonkers quote:
"If you refer to Tidal as Illuminati, you are paying us the highest of compliments. As I've stated before it is another name for 'The Enlightened Ones' a group of scientists, philosophers and artists that emerged after the dark ages. They changed and shaped the world for the better! Do the research and find out for yourself!"
I guess Madonna finally picked up that Dan Brown novel everyone else has already read. But even before the signing of the TIDAL Declaration, Madonna had already permanently declared that the Illuminati is NOT Jay-Z, Beyonce, Nicki, Rihanna or Kanye, so I guess the throngs of Twittergram people haven't actually heard the song.
Are we going to put a photo of them signing on the back of a $1M dollar bill?

lol Mister Pratt is the new Namo, obsessed much?
And yes i have heard the song, i like the song, many of the critics liked the song, but if you don't like it love thats fine, though i cant agree with ou about the production at all, the production on this track is superb.

Who is obsessed much?
Posted: 4/1/15 at 3:14pm
Not me! But then, I'm not obsessed with tethering Namo to me, either. I guess I'll leave it to the expert to tell people the rules of obsession.
And yes i have heard the song
Oops! My bad, love (does it sound just as douchey when I do it?). You and those critics go on and love that...song, sweetie. Listen to the horrible lyrics, production and sound to your little hearts' content, darling! Just be sure to put on your Magoggles first so you can enjoy it, honey!

I like the song too. But that Instagram post and press conference? Not so much.
Posted: 4/1/15 at 4:40pm
Oh, I'm sure there are songs that I adore that others call crap. And sometimes I know it's crap and I love it anyway and I'll freely admit it's crap (like the song Do It Like That by Ricki-Lee, a ridiculous dance tune I enjoy 100x more than anything on Rebel Heart). What I don't do is try and find a way to justify it or insult someone who doesn't love it. I especially don't call anyone obsessed for participating in a topic I've already shown an obsessed amount of interest in and then apply condescension to my own hypocrisy and then exacerbate a situation I think I'm quashing AND THEN criticize the other person for it AND THEN act like they are the problem when all I had to do was ignore a conversation I don't want to take part in.
Bottom line is: Madonna already said many of them are not the Illuminati in her song, yet she'll patronize her Instabook twitterers by ignoring the actual song that's referenced and giving them a shoutout to keep everyone's delusions in check and promote their TIDAL thingy while giving her flailing album a bit of free press.

MisterPratt don't play victim it suits you less than a w***e playing a nun. Where did I insult you for not liking the song? I don't care if you like it or not, I think it's ok but not the best (though I do think the producing is fantastic on the track).
This thread is about a product that many people are involved in and yet again you are hung up on Madonna, that's why I called you the new Namo.

And sorry but in my opinion it's stuff like this that makes you sound silly. The song is about all those people who believe in crazy conspiracy theories about all those people etc been part of the Iluminati, she's saying that the real Iluminati were great philosophers etc. After the song came out the mad conspiracy theorists believed even more that she was a part of it. The moment Tidal was announced they started saying it again, her response was saying 'well if you want to call us that that's a huge compliment because the real Iluminati were the most brilliant and powerful minds about that made real change' she is been sarcastic.

I actually wasn't playing the victim. Congratulations on finally recognizing sarcasm! Let's hope you can do it again one day!

When you intentionally become patronizing, you are being insulting. Sort of like when someone says "I think [your opinion] is crazy, but that's your opinion".

Physician...heal thyself.
PS - With the exception of the asinine lyrics, Illuminati was a far better song on the demo.
Sometimes I just gotta call it like it is.

So, yes, that press event was RIDICULOUS. And, yes, the copy they're using - Tidal for all - is equally ridiculous. And, yes, it costs more than competing services, but I have to say, if they were able to obtain as deep a catalog as Spotify, when I am gainfully employed again, I will be signing up. Because of one word: lossless. $20/mo for access to a huge library of lossless on demand music is actually a good deal. I mean, if you don't hear the difference between Spotify streaming and the original CD quality of a song, you're not paying attention. All that said, I wonder how that will impact data usage on mobile plans.

This whole Jay-Z acquisition story and the Tidal numbers are just sooooo queasy-making. How much money is enough for people like this?
He's not a businessman, he's a business, maaaaaaan
Posted: 4/2/15 at 10:22pm
The contrarian in me is enough to keep me the hell away from TIDAL. Between my SiriusXM onine account and physical discs, I don't need anything that Jay Z, Madge, et al are peddling. It just occurred to me that out of the catalogs of the entire lot, the only CD titles that I've ever purchased were releases from Madge.
I feel no ill will towards the collective . But, a few of the charter members could stand to chew on some humble pie which is a tangent to @Namo's point.

Collective. Ha ha. Funny, funny choice of word.
