The Week in Tidal: Bey-Z's Joint Album, Bad PR, Kanye Weirdness & More

Welcome to the Week in Tidal, a new feature we'll run as long as Jay Z's half-exciting, all-troubled streaming service keeps making waves. So…this could be our first and last Week in Tidal. We'll see!

Let's kick things off with the newest and hottest Tidal headline: Jay Z and Beyoncé's rumored full-length collaboration might be Tidal-only: Fuse host DJ SKEE says in a new SKEE TV clip:

"I first reported last year that Jay Z and Beyoncé were working on a joint album—which, by the way, is finally nearing completion. And now my sources are saying it will be released exclusively on Tidal. The risk here is the same thing that happened with Jay Z's exclusive album with Samsung, a project that leaked as Samsung's servers crashed, unintentionally making it ironically only available to people who illegally downloaded it. History has shown if you make something closed in, people will always find a way around it."

That would make sense. While Tidal's exclusives have been lackluster or flown under the radar largely, the biggies have come straight from the Roc circle: an unreleased video of Hov rehearsing the Blue Ivy ode "Glory" before his big Carnegie Hall orchestra show; Rihanna's "American Oxygen"; Beyoncé's brand new song "Die With You," revealed in home movie format. See the clip from Fuse's SKEE TV here (and don't miss SKEE TV on Fuse tonight at 10:30/9:30c, featuring special guest Tech N9ne):
