What happened to this dude?
Man what the actual fukk is this shyt?
That's some of the worst mix of literal sound waves I've ever heard. Someone's bodily functions while they have food poisoning would probably the the worst... but there's not much topping this. This might be gotta be top 5 worst sounds ever.
Pay 5 million bucks for an album full of RZA beats in 2015. It hurts real bad too. RZA just went off my top 5 list. He's still in the top 10, but he hasn't had a great beat since Linx II, and this right here? He's in outer space.
I hope this goofy ass album leaks tonight. Not because I want to hear it, but just to get this pretentious bullshyt over with.
I'm more tired of hearing about this album than Detox and Act II combined.
Get this all the way the fukk out of here. I might get negged into oblivion, but all of us know that it's not gonna be THAT good. Anyone that pays 7 figures for an album that we all know will be this average? Good for them I guess. I hope they enjoy it and bump it all day.
RZA has completely smoked himself retarded. I wonder what the rest of the Clan thinks about this.
EDIT: Even though RZA didn't produce the album, I still think he's crazy for doing this.
I don't know, people by paintings for a lot of money, or original copies of certain things. I think RZA is trying to put the value back into the music, I can respect that.
I would like to hear the project too, but I'd feel a bit greedy/ungrateful if they just released an album a few months ago and I demand to hear an album they've been upfront what the concept would be from the jump and that will make them millions of $. I'm happy for them, I'm genuinely not mad, I can see why you would be, but I don't feel mad personally, I feel pleased for them, and am glad they are getting paid well for their talents.
Music takes such a long time to make, production, writing, organisation, studio time, mixing/mastering, we sometimes get that shyt VERY cheap considering how much goes into it. This readdressing the balance for a particular project I think is quite cool to be honest...
This is actually a good post man. I respect what they say they're trying to do. I just can't get over the pretentiousness of it. We definitely get music cheap/free considering what goes into it, and I'm happy for anyone to come from nothing and become successful. I just think the execution of the idea is goofy. I know you have to "go big" to make a statement these days, but I think you can draw attention to the craft without having to come up with a bunch of numerology and pseudo-philosophical garbage that you're clearly pandering to your base with. Unless it's like I said, and he's just smoked himself retarded. In that case, it's just weird/sad.
The best way IMO to put value back into the music is to make good music. To make anything less than some of the best music ever and to sell it for that much, to one person? That's just insulting. The funny thing is I bet the album isn't even a top 5 hip-hop album if it dropped last year, this year, any year. Let alone a top 5 album of the year in any genre, period. And that's the kind of album that needs to be made to justify some wild shyt like what RZA's doing. You need to genuinely have a game changer, or just a bulletproof album, and we all know this ain't it.
Freddie Gibbs and Madlib's Cocaine Pinata album I guarantee knocks this Wu album out of the park. I guarantee Cuban Linx II knocks this album out of the park. Supreme Clientele...and we don't even need to go into the '93-'97 run. shyt man. I'll even go super easy on RZA and say it
only has to be a top 5 Wu release, ever. For this price tag? And to one person? it should be a top 5 Wu album. That's not an unreasonable expectation. But we all know that won't be the case either.
