Jay Z fired back at critics of his struggling music streaming service Tidal during a special “B-sides” concert Saturday at Terminal 5 in New York.

The iconic rapper and music mogul delivered on his promise to offer special content to Tidal subscribers by performing two decades of hits in a show that streamed live for subscribers. Hov also offered free tickets to thousands of Tidal users who created the best B-sides playlists — helping him pick out what to perform.

During an epic freestyle, the “H to the Izzo” rapper called out racial injustice and paid tribute to Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, and Trayvon Martin.
