Music mogul Diddy recently talked about fellow hip-hop icon Jay Z‘s new Tidal streaming service and gave his thoughts on its seemingly overnight launch.

In Puff Daddy’s perspective, the new Tidal movement needs time to grow.

“It’s a great idea for the artist to be involved in the distribution. Everything takes time, so we’ll see in the next couple of years. But I would bet on Jay Z,” Diddy said in an interview. “I’m an artist, but I’m also a businessman. As a businessman it was important for me to diversify. I didn’t just look at myself as someone making music, I make lifestyles, so for me it was diversifying and just loving business and figuring out how to market and create brands for this generation, (which) is something I specialize in.” (Billboard)

Despite not being big on the music streaming game, rap veteran Memphis Bleek recently said he had to support his longtime mentor new service.

“I really don’t know too much about the Internet world. I’m brand new to it myself. I don’t have Pandora and I don’t have Spotify, but you know that I’ve got Tidal because I’m riding for my crew. I think, because Jay Z’s behind it, the expectations are high. When you’re associated with greatness, people expect everything that you do to happen overnight. Sometimes greatness takes time, even when you’re Jay Z.” (Complex)

Recently, Jay Z announced he would be performing at an exclusive New York venue for Tidal subscribers.

Dubbed “Tidal X: Jay Z B-Sides,” the one-off concert will come to an as-yet-unnamed “intimate New York City” venue on May 13th. (Rolling Stone)

Young Hov resorted to his Twitter page last month to assure Tidal subscribers of the service’s promising future.
