How could I forget about the greatness of Jay-Z?

A while back, most of Jay-Z’s songs were removed from Spotify in a move to promote a competitive music streaming service.

After the initial disappointment of losing him on Spotify, it became out of site, out of mind. When Jay released a new album, it was again a minor inconvenience, but I found ways to listen to it without signing up for the new service (YouTube - ugh).

A few days ago Jay-Z made a glorious return to Spotify, and it’s been the only thing I’ve listened to since it happened. I forgot how much I appreciate his songs and the absence has me in full Hova mode.

I get the marketing and promotional reasoning behind it, but it was painful for me as a connoisseur of the jigga-man. Maybe it was a home run for the competitor, but I’d much rather see deals that are good for all parties involved. Figure out ways to make it a win for the fans, the artists, the streaming services, the labels, everyone.

Anyways, it’s good to have Jay back on Spotify where I can once again admire all the greatness that he has created.
