    after ABT negotiations of selling this album to a single person would have crashed and burned. lol nobody paying for wu tang music they can't hear first especially after their last release had miracle on it. I'll assume whoever bought this didn't listen to ABT

    Brother Origin, I respect the core sense of disapproval you have with this idea. Matter of fact, if I was in your place I'd probably feel the same. First thing I'd say though is the racism thing is not cool.

    As for this project, there will be a more in depth interview this month explaining in the clearest sense our motivations and goals we would like to achieve. And probably you'll still might not support it and that's cool. I have explained many times the variety of reasons of why we chose to do this and I'm not going to keep repeating it. Whoever's finds it interesting, great. Whomever doesn't, that's really fine.

    Only thing that's really childish are these negative "I want you to fail for whatever reason" toned posts. Discuss it intelligently or just reject it in an adult fashion, all that trolling is childish.

    That way the fans that are able to pay for it get it, the artists get their money, and whoever wants to pirate can probably still do so. It seems like a win-win-win


    ^ this should've been the plan from jumpstreet.

    I like how the Forbes guy asked RZA about the album alienating fans. But once again, RZA goes on to bring up making ABT as a consolation prize for fans, an album which is damn near universally panned, by fans and critics alike (hell, the Clan themselves weren't for that album). For him to STILL bring up ABT as being for the fans, after all the bad press, just continues to show how detached he is from his fan base. Plain and simple, OUTIS is THE album that fans wanted, and yes, (after many years of support, from the classics to the disappointments) deserved.

    ABT was always the album they didn't give a fuck about that was given to the fans to shut us up and say "hey shut up we gave you an album"

    "consumers have practically re-classified the act of paying for music as philanthropy"

    "The winning bidder will get to do whatever with the 31-track album -- lend it to a museum, place it in a personal collection, release it online for free, melt it for scrap, whatever -- and if RZA was telling the truth when he said the group had received a $5 million offer for it, then the album will probably fetch a similar amount, possibly more, at auction."

    Hopefully the buyer releases it to us the people who been waiting long for this
