It seems money—and only money—can make Black celebrities unite for a “movement.”

The roll out for Tidal, the Swedish streaming service purchased by Jay-Z for 56.2 million, was presented to the public on March 30th as a music streaming service that granted songwriters, producers, and artists more money for their work.

Today, as we reflect upon Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy and ultimate sacrifice in his quest for equal rights and freedom for all, I am reminded of a video snippet from an episode of “Oprah’s Master Class,” that was recently heavily circulated. In the clip, Jay-Z lays out why he believes hip hop has done more for “race relations” than any other cultural movement. He also states that Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “dream” was realized when Obama was elected President.
