It makes perfect sense. SOMEBODY is allowed to buy A copy as in 1 hence the hype for exclusive ownership and price tag. YOU can hear it if the BUYER chooses to share freely. It was always sold as a 1 copy album. Why would u spend 5 mill for a general mass release item?

Now given that there was only 1 copy being sold ever where did fake controversy come from? The only question so far has been if when and how it will be heard.

But honestly, everyone knows that won't ever happen. Why on earth would anyone pay 5 million for something and then devalue all of it by giving it away?

I guess it could happen, in the same way that I could hit the lottery.

You're not even listening to what people are saying.

Like I said, in the previous post, which you quoted, but apparently did not read:

You can only look at an ORIGINAL PAINTING in a museum. Yes.

However, you can BUY A COPY OF ANY ORIGINAL PAINTING - in painting form, in poster form, whatever - on the Internet or at several art stores. For just $20, you can have a copy of Starry Night, of your very own, to put up on your wall in house.

Now let's look at the Wu-Tang album. One person will own THE ORIGINAL.

But the COPY WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE TO BUY.

Yes, the owner COULD give away for copies for free. But that is conjecture, and does not disprove anything that I am saying.

I really don't know how to dumb this down anymore. Are you trolling? Seriously....

Also, you insist in every post of yours that this 1 copy, 88 years thing "has been the plan the whole time," but that's not true at all. Cilvaringz was talking about this album on Wu-Corp for at least six years, and never said anything about it being 1 copy / 88 years until the Forbes article broke. They've changed their story even since then - first it was going to be available in museums for the public to hear, and the owner could distribute it commercially. Then they said, actually no, that's not going to happen. I don't understand why are you cheerleading so hard over this.

Something not right spiritually with the RZA man...you don't use music for some MORBID SHYT like this. You don't do that to your fan base. Meth is on point with his words, tho. Nikka don't know my timeline, only GOD does...I'll live till three hundred and play this at a club on throwback night at age 232 nikka, real talk. Don't time people's lives out wit YA art, or else it's fuk YA art:camby:

I read what you said a painting can also be kept in a private home and not seen. I'm not cheerleading I mean not even the WU members knew of the album, there was no amticipated release. It was a surprise so if the RZA put up his own money to make this happen he has a right to see his vision through for the album. What I don't get is people attacking dude for trying to be creative.

I highly doubt the album won't be heard for 88 years. There is a reason they are being selective about the buyer... They have already got bids in the amount they want according to themselves.

All in all it was always billed as a one copy album I would hope that is somewhat indicative of the whole angle and self explanatory but apparently not :mjlol:

If the music is garbage and the person bought it, wants to return it, does it have to be sealed? Can the buyer put a little scratch on it and take it back to Rza and claim it was defective and get his money back? Who ever buys this without getting to hear 30 second samples is not smart.

:yeshrug: This could be a great album and everything but I'm not worried about hearing the clan over cilva beats. I remember rza saying he has lots of tracks the wu recorded but nobody will hear them they are only for his personal enjoyment. That's the shyt I want to hear
