So as we all bid farewell to Wu Tang's money, hiphop "street cred," and artistic integrity, let's hope Jon takes note of this as he goes forth with his "We super-serve the super(rich) fan" venture. There aren't that many über-rich superfans to go around, and some of them might turn out to also be über bastards...but even über beggars can't be choosy! P.S. And über props to comedian Dave Chappelle because he saw this coming... |
I find this refreshing:

Remember that band who sold their album to a company which then gave it for free to millions of people... who never asked for it and took it for an "intrusion into personal privacy" ?! I guess the WTC guys didn't want to reproduce this fiasco/scandal, that's why they altered the plan... and everybody's complaining just the same. Hmmm... well, not exactly, only their fans, the rest of the world just doesn't care. |

It didn't occur to Wu Tang that their non-uber rich fans wouldn't take kindly to this? They're part of a musical genre in which "street credibility" is mandatory: it didn't occur to them that their plan would add an entirely new dimension to the meaning of "corporate sellout?" And even if Jesus Christ himself had been the purchaser, there would still remain the question of whether it's seemly to sell or buy one copy of one album and deprive "everybody" else of it for 88 years! It renders Wu Tang's calls for "urgent debates about the future of music" as ringing a little hollow. Yes, they ended up two million dollars richer -- but, as they found out, at way too high a price. |
Now haven't you read the latest news?
https://www.yahoo.com/music/wu-tang-...154743155.html That's a good one, isn't it?! :lol: And what about this one? What a loser! https://livenationpresents.yahoo.com...t-sole-copy-of Quote:
Or as a great big joke that worked very well: - yo, man! Let's record an album and sell it to only 1 person. - yeah, man! Let's say only one person will have the privilege to listen to our art. - right on, bro! Let's find some a$$hole full of himself and full of dough! - you got it, bro! Let's screw some rich basturd! |
I hope the check Shrkeli gave Wu Tang has cleared

Gawker:...(O)n (December 14), his livestream included a 90-minute conversation with a 17-year-old, female high school student who attends his alma mater, Hunter College High School...(H)e accepts her Facebook friend request, demurs her jokey invitations to prom, offers to write her a reference letter, plays her a song, asks where she lives, what her ethnic background is, what her SAT score is, and whether high schoolers are into polygamy. Oh, and how many black people go to her school. TMZ:First, he dropped $2 million for that Wu-Tang record, and now Martin Shkreli wants to be (rapper) Bobby Shmurda's hero... Bloomberg:Martin Shkreli, the boyish drug company entrepreneur who rocketed to infamy by jacking up the price of a life-saving pill from $13.50 to $750, was arrested by federal agents at his Manhattan home early Thursday morning on securities fraud related to a firm he founded. I love the smell of vindication in the morning -- we've taken down another one, Joysey! Or IS he simply an example of the saying "A fool and his money are soon parted?" |
Yep! Once again, Karma proved to be more powerful than Ponzi schemers but... what's gonna happen to the Wu-Tang Clan album???
