Still mad about this in 2024.. come on now.. lol peeps.
I get why some people are bitter and angry, but guilt tripping Cilva isn’t going to work. The project is beyond him now. Just go along for the ride. I’m curious to see how things end up. I’m not much of a gimmick guy, but the Wu hasn’t gotten this much attention in a long while. I’m having friends who don’t even listen to the Wu texting me about this project because it’s peaked their interest
60.000 more sales and we'll have the biggest first week sales of all music in 2024. With a damn sampler.
LOL come on Cilva, be real for a second. Biggest sale of what? There's literally only the sampler right now....Quote:

This whole thing was setup not to get it to us. And it's exactly to your point, there's 230k people already in, yet the needle hasn't moved even an inch. And on your end, aside from some public events, there's been zero promotion so who's we? Where's the intent to really market and promote this to the masses so it actually can reach the tens of millions it needs?Quote:

12´129 people paid for this project. That's very low. That's half the sales of A Better TomorrowQuote:

So would he still not approve? Furthermore, the music would be literally for the children, or the children of children.Quote:

Most rap fans i know know NOTHING about etherium or shit like that. Ya not gonna get them to pay for nothing. Getting 12k people to pay for zero is kinda a lot imo.
if this got an actual release id say itd atleast be 3x higher. Like how they were asking dust king how much hed pay, charge those 12k $100 for album or 200 for like a copy of the book with it whatever. Yall know who those 12k are. This type of album needs a physical release imo. I know its a pie in the sky but the hype wouod make people buy imo. The hype is what is making it move rn. There is anticipation there. Just gotta get the most out of it. 12k people paid atleast 88 cents. They shoulda made them pay 200 and actually get the new half version or whatever. I know you have no say in this im just again spit balling.
The counter is just too long. Had it been like solit into tracks like every 5 years a track… itd move faster. Imo anyway.
also. I do have a question about this 88 year business. Couldnt you and rza just void that shit ? I mean if someoen put it out before 88 years whos gonna sue? You and rza right? So just void it. Who said it has to carry over. People change contracts and shit after the fact all the time. Why are we sticking to such a long date when i believe thats whats hopding the album back. Thats what preventing people from paying, thats whats preventing it from coming out
sorry i just woke up and im spit balling i dont mean to have a convo like this in the open im just wondering
Exactly my points:
1. The 88 seconds deal does not move it fast enough
2. $1 for the album might sound great, but in the end it's what's holding it back from making the money PleasrDAO needs to pay the artists and what not.
3. People are definitely willing to pay very good money for this!
4. If paying Wu artists is the goal of this whole we need $28 million, then why are they not promoting it.
5. If they want to reach the audience, why there's zero promotion and marketing behind this? A physical release would definitely help.
My conclusion, based on this is that also since RZA & Cilvaringz have no intent to void the 88 years nonsense, that nobody involved is actually genuine about this getting released.
RZA deleted all his posts about OUATIS on his social medias (X and Instagram).Quote:
