Wu-Tang Clan's One-of-a-Kind Album "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" Has Been Sold For Millions

[SoulController]

true... i just think after 20 years of calling rza a piece of shyt and suing him and winning in open court... that you'd be a little smarter about these contracts and being sure you're compensated correctly


but yea.. i see what you're saying... at the end of the day.. you might say "ok 5k cause you fam" then they pay you and turn around and say it's wu-tang official for 5 milly


i'd be pissed too

no ones pissed, tho?

 

[Deutsche Bank]

What?

That shyt was not worth $.99 on iTunes, much less "millions of dollars".

 

[PaperEnterprise]

so you're saying these dudes purposely wrote shyt up... so the label couldn't get involved and help them get their proper payments... and it's rza fault???


they been in this since 93.... it's 2015.... when nikkas gonna learn to read everything, have a lawyer, and don't trust that family shyt

Lawyers cost money, i dont want nikkas think im a wu hater. They are my fav group and i have worked in some capacity with a few members...

These nikkas dont like to pay anyone. All money is the motto. So there

You heard the album?

Whoever bought it is a fukking sucker. Jokes on them.

I'm a big Wu head but it's some fukkery to spend that much money for an average ass album. A fool and their money are easily separated. or maybe the buyer is happy. If so, good for them I guess.

Here is why RZA will be only memeber to get paid a nice amount, he owns the Wu Tang Logo, Wu Tang Clan name and any likeness to the group...meaning Cilcaringz could not have sold this as a Clan album without paying the RZA...

Cilva is the mastermind behind this album, he paid for verses without telling anyone he planned on making it a Clan album...i honestly believe he didnt start creating this record as a clan album...after he got most of the album done, he came up with the auction idea and pitched it to RZA and the abbott being a geek now, loved it...

Crazy thing is, the agreements clan members signed after getting paid for the verses were the generic sign off contracts which state, cilva can use the artist names, likeness to promote the album...in sure the members didnt know it was a Clan album lol

Contracts my nikkas, rappers gotta add clauses as well...tbh, in this business many people get jerked...i know nikkas that are still waiting for verses from clan members and other legendary rappers...

Im not mad at some of these legends feeling betrayed lol.

Its business, right?

That's f*cked up for real. I would be pissed too if I was a Wu-tang member.

 

[Calmye]

I only care how much Meth gts off it

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Just on the subject of human nature...is there anyway the buyer doesn't feel ANY regret or hint of disappointment when listening to this album???

 

[Deutsche Bank]

You heard the album?

I'm talking about the snippet in that clip. If that shyt is a part of a multimillion dollar product, Jesus Christ.

Maybe they have enough money not to give a fukk. Have you heard the album?

And it's not worth .99?

[The Ruler 09]

I'm glad they did this, puts some value back into the music and shows that this shyt is valuable. It's a nice idea, I have no qualms with it at all, I hope we get to hear it at some point though, I think we will personally.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

Rza and Divine are some pimpin ass nikkas man. this shyt is unreal.

Expect Arabs to break you off with millions brehs Whenever an Arab is involved, the deal is shady.

I herd more of that song than you and its fukkIN flames.

Your sounding very unstable on some dr jekyl mr hyde meets the joker type sh!t. Calm down and stop name calling people and artists because they created art inacessible to you.

Maybe they have enough moneynot give a fukk. Have you heard the album?



And it's not worth .99?

Exactly. Its just hate in they blood.

I heard a decent chunk of the album and it was the best sounding album since forever.

It had the best parts of every wu album; supreme clientel, cuban linx, liquid swords, heavy mental, forever, no said date, the w, nothing new under the sun, return to 36 chambers & 36 chambers
