      Wu Tang did NFTs? That’s hilarious and sad

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

          Who else is betting the album just isn’t very good?

          Either way it feels like Wu-Tang is on the wrong side of the class war on this one. The fine art comparison is bullshit. At least fine art owned by individuals is often showcased for public viewing because everyone knows that a print, photo, or public exhibition is not the same as owning the original.

          I’m sure Wu-Tang thought they were just exploiting the upper class money laundering system for their own gains, but that just makes them court fools, not revolutionaries.

    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. 🤣
