Is Tidal still prioritizing US hiphop? I really liked it (about 5 years ago) but left because they pushed e.g. Beyonce to me on every visit on every possible surface despite me having a completely different taste in music.

I don't think I've ever seen any hip hop while using Tidal, so probably no, at least if you're not interested in adjacent genres. Even the ads (stupid playlists I don't want to see, I can only explain them forcing them on me with financial interest) include a probably average amount of it.
mm, maybe. I got a lot more Kanye than I wanted (>0) early on, but I was able to just ban that artist. for other stuff, it does seem to favor US hip-hop on my account, but I don't listen to a lot of hip-hop and it's mostly US-based, so YMMV. I would say that if you're making playlists of non-US and it's pushing US suggestions, that's kind of a problem, yes.
