    He makes a point. I stopped copping Wu Tang albums after The W and Iron Flag. Their early to mid 90s stuff is better than their most recent stuff.

    Ghostfacce is still dropping heat though.

    ? this dude and ? RZA for selling the album to him. That man stands for everything that hip hop is supposed to stand against. RZA still a legend but I lost respect for him

    Well Hip Hop has always been about making money. They didn't rap for free back when Hip Hop first started. And the people who did rap for free got left by the wayside.

    Although I wasn't there I suspect that the park jams were free, but then they upped the ante and started performing in clubs and charging a fee at the door.

    I respect RZA and his hustle. He made an album and got $2m for it. I honestly don't see the problem.

    Its not about getting money its about where that money is coming from. Hip hop was always supposed to give the underdog a voice and it should never lose that anti-establishment spirit. And like I said that man is the total opposite of those values. Shkreli is a capitalist bloodsucker who is fine with dangering the lifes of poor people in order to get richer. ? him. I know hip hop is a big business but to see the arguably most legendary group in the history of the culture sell out like that is wack af to me

    Nosign.

    As long as the money is green and legal I don't see the problem.

    You got rappers rapping about selling ? , going to jail for shooting people and just recently a rapper is wanted for ? . I think Hip Hop has bigger problems to deal with than RZA selling a Wu Tang album for $2m, or Nipsey Hustle selling his CDs for $100. The game is to be sold not told.

    I bet the album isn't even that good. People only care because there's one copy, it was bought for $2 mill, and Martin Shrekli owns it.

    lol I was watching John Olliver and he was reading off official comments from the people who were rejected as jurors. One of them was kicked out cause their comment on whether they could be impartial was "He disrespected the Wu-tang Clan."

    ? was hilarious. He’s going to jail partly because he dissed the Wu. Think about that. I know that juror was dismissed but you know damn well the others were thinking it.

    dont even know what to type, where to start with regards to Wu Tang. this isnt morbid, evil hate or anything; just do not like them, now AND back then. i feel sorry for those people who bought all of the Wu-Tang and Wu-Syndicate albums in the 90's and 00's.

    even the wu-wear shrunk up when you washed it. rinky ? ass clothing line.. lol
