    That article was hard to read because of how smug and douchey Shkrelis quotes are.

    Fuck Martin Shkreli. Fuck him in his stupid asshole.

    This is one of those truly great moments where you can hate all sides of this. They’re all kinda shitty skeezy assholes, so whoever loses is a net win for humanity.

    Reading the headline with a wuxia background and not knowing that there’s a hiphop group that took the literal same name as the classic martials art clan, I was quite confused.

        Relevant to what? according to wikipedia they are credited for revitalizing “east coast” hiphop, so not even american, but a section of the US, and I’m not even from that continent. It would surprise me that what they say is relevant to my local history, and there’s tons of music media that criticise the current society, I’m not going to listen to a media type I won’t enjoy.

        Sorry if I came brusque but so did you.

          It’s Wu-Tang. Wu-Tang is for the children. If you don’t know, then don’t worry about it. Bill Murray!

          Hilarious that someone is more willing to read a wiki than just listen to a song. 🤣

      Wu Tang did NFTs? That’s hilarious and sad

      Edit: would be a lot funnier if there were Wu Tang NFTs

        WuTang didn’t make an NFT. They recorded an album that had no public release, and sold the only existing copy to a single buyer like a painting.

        This was kind of a slap in the face to their fans and what music is, but this was long before NFTs were a thing.

        PleasrDAO, who purchased it from Shkreli, is some sort of NFT group apparently. And they’re suing because they have plans to make money off limited listening events lol
