Drops a couple mil on an album and rips it to MP3 instead of FLAC. The fuck is wrong with this man?
You have me giggling over here mate. But it’s true!
This is one of those truly great moments where you can hate all sides of this. They’re all kinda shitty skeezy assholes, so whoever loses is a net win for humanity.
Wu-tang is for the children.
So it goes.
Obviously it was so he could upload it to Archive.org… right?! /s
That article was hard to read because of how smug and douchey Shkrelis quotes are.
Fuck Martin Shkreli. Fuck him in his stupid asshole.
.
This fucking guy. It’d be great to never hear about him again.
Shit I’d trade Elon for this fucker any day.
Him and Musk should do a hip hop video from inside of a fiberglass submersible touring the titanic.
Reading the headline with a wuxia background and not knowing that there’s a hiphop group that took the literal same name as the classic martials art clan, I was quite confused.
Listen to their stuff. It’s relevant
Relevant to what? according to wikipedia they are credited for revitalizing “east coast” hiphop, so not even american, but a section of the US, and I’m not even from that continent. It would surprise me that what they say is relevant to my local history, and there’s tons of music media that criticise the current society, I’m not going to listen to a media type I won’t enjoy.
Sorry if I came brusque but so did you.
It’s Wu-Tang. Wu-Tang is for the children. If you don’t know, then don’t worry about it. Bill Murray!
Hilarious that someone is more willing to read a wiki than just listen to a song. 🤣
Maybe they’re just aware that the Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nuthin’ to fuck with…
I mean I hate Martin Shkreli and rap, so this is really a win-win scenario. I mean if I had that kind of album that was supposed to be one of a kind, I’d have that bitch uploaded to some Chinese website in about an hour on principle.
This should be fun; who will the terminally online hate more, Shkreli or a group of NFT grifters?
Wu Tang did NFTs? That’s hilarious and sad
Edit: would be a lot funnier if there were Wu Tang NFTs
WuTang didn’t make an NFT. They recorded an album that had no public release, and sold the only existing copy to a single buyer like a painting.
This was kind of a slap in the face to their fans and what music is, but this was long before NFTs were a thing.
PleasrDAO, who purchased it from Shkreli, is some sort of NFT group apparently. And they’re suing because they have plans to make money off limited listening events lol
