Well, Raekwon has always been the most publicly skeptical Clan member and he has co-signed on Twitter. We know Masta Killa is on board. What about the rest of them? This is in their best interests, for sure. I just don't know yet if it's in the FANS' best interests. I just want to be able to bump this album in my car on a road trip.
ill tell u this...i dont like it...but this fucking thing is everywhere...ive had about 10 ppl ask me if i heard about it...good pub for the clan
skeptical this will ever see the light of day though...the wu is notorious for not coming through.

The 2014 Wu-Tang Plan for World Domination:
1. Fight publicly over money, to delay final album indefinitely.
2. Star in trashy VH1 reality shows.
3. Release a lead single that gives Wu-Tang fans exactly what they want - the smooth R&B stylings of Nathaniel.
4. Announce that the big throwback Cilvaringz & Wu-Tang double album will not ever be released to the public, and you'll have to pay $50 to hear it once, in a museum.
5. ?????
6. Profit.
This is NOT a publicity stunt. And its NOT the end of it neither.
Its lame though, what you seem to be advocating is no freedom for the consumer. Its shitty what the art industry does with priceless works of art that should have educational and spiritual value to the world. Instead they're in one corner of the world where they can't be seen, in museums that are out of peoples area or people can't afford or in the hands of people with unjustified wealth. I know that you keep saying theres more steps to your little plan. But you must surely understand it looks pretty bad at the moment if you look at its implications.
Even in the art world you can a print of the work, even if its not as good, its something.
Well, I Cilva's defense, it's shitty having your work stolen by 80+ percent of those who enjoy it. It sucks not making much money off of something that would have made you a shitload of money just 25 years ago. Think about it. It would suck for you too.
As a fan of Wu Cilva must admit that the Wu are nothing compared to what they once were, and his album is what we are all dying to hear, a fresh Wu on 90's Wu beats......so as a fan Cilva I hope in 12 months time I can play this CD in my car otherwise all respect for you and the Wu will be lost after ABT surely fails with lacklustre RZA production and RnB BS hooks.
As someone who makes some of my living from doing paintings, I actually really dig this idea in theory. My biggest beef is it's being sold as a Wu record, when really it's a Cilva record, featuring the Wu.
It's a great discussion piece, but, the difference between recordings and paintings is they can be mass produced. I personally don't do prints of my works, but, a lot of folks do, and they sell ok at cd type prices, but, it'll never be the same as looking at the original work.
A cd on the other hand, is exactly the same if it's copied. Especially if they're digital recordings. The way they're selling this would mean the box is the actual work of art.
If the museum tour thing comes to the Milwauke area, I'll go. Hell, I'll go to Chicago to support it, but it won't be to hear the record. It'll be to support the idea.
But, let's all be fair here. This isn't a wu-tang album. This is a Cilvaringz album, and since ABT is dropping soon, most folks are confusing the two. Which may be the master plan.
Either way, I doubt it'll happen. Cilva is making this sound like just a publicity stunt. Which undermines the dope parts of the concept.
Anybody else guessed the ending?
I just want to say to Cilvaringz that I wish you all the best with this project and that I hope all of your dreams, goals and ambitions are realized.
:Y
I would guess Ringz ultimate goal would be to put Wu back on the map? I'm guessing that based on his mention a while back of setting up a central point for wu artists to sell their music.Quote:

Did people miss the fact that the route they are taking with this isn't about money. They are just using the standard model used for other works of art like paintings, and applying it to music. If people can pay $50 to go look at some paintings on a wall, why shouldn't they be able to do the same to go listen to some exclusive music. That's the point Rza is trying to make. I don't think he's trying to change the way music is done. They are just trying to make the statement that music should be treasured and valued the same way other forms of art are.
