Well he basically sold out Wu's actual fans for some guy who just happened to be rich.

Basically said "fukk you" to his fans to chase the $ and had it backfire in laughably proverbial fashion. Rich psychopath that even Hillary Clinton's made comments about buys the album then has his buddy use it as a coaster. That's an L as an artist.

"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

You can't tell me RZA's soul hasn't been snatched by this a little bit.


I disagree. This is what it is. The album was put up for sale and someone bought it. We knew what it was from the beginning. It's their's. Ringz put the production together and RZA's eating. If RZA's having regrets than that's on him.

So...what exactly are you disagreeing about?

“We’re about to put out a piece of art like nobody else has done in the history of [modern] music. We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like somebody having the scepter of an Egyptian king.”
- RZA in Forbes

...and then using the scepter as a backscratcher.

“The idea that music is art has been something we advocated for years,” says RZA. “And yet it doesn’t receive the same treatment as art in the sense of the value of what it is, especially nowadays when it’s been devalued and diminished to almost the point that it has to be given away for free.”
- Forbes again

So lets sell it for $2 million and then watch it get devalued instantly by someone who doesn't even care to listen to it and has his boy use it as you would a 20 cent coaster.

“It took a long time,” says Cilvaringz. “After five years, I’m sitting here and I’m like, ‘Am I really going to release this record and see it die after a week?’”
- Forbes

No, after 5 years you can see your hard work keep a desk dry.

This is beyond a bad look. This is the worst look ever.

That he sold the fans out.

Are you dense breh? What fan can afford a $2M CD? You'd have a point if they were only going to sell 1 physical copy at $14 and sell the rest digitally or something, but since that wasn't the case, I'm not sure how you can be so oblivious.

Are you dense? Rza lost money on his last two cds. What the fukk do you want? Ringz put this shyt together and got the ok from Rza. They sold it through a third party. That's that.

So he fukking sold out you idiot. :mindblown: What are you not understanding? Christ.

Doing something contrary to your values or norms for financial gain is the definition of selling out. Are you retarded? :wtf:

Is that you RZA??? :wtf:
