Y'all hear how The Wu plans to release its upcoming album?
- Thread starter JectWon
- Start date
It's 2014...conversations about how bad the Wu have become and making fun of their fan boys is as played as the people who worship every Wu track ever.
I'm way less interested in the fact that Wu has annoying fas who won'y let go, and more interested in the vehicle/gimmick they choose to deliver an album.
I mean, is there a musical group out there that could pull this off? I think the closest legitimate approach to this is when Jay Z convinced Samsung that buying a million copies of 'Magna' Carta' was going to help them sell phones....you just have to convince that one schmuck, company.
If Radiohead pulled some shit like this, I bet they'd make a ton of money off the listening party circle jerk museum events and some dude would spend a ton on the 'single copy album' release...hell, there'd probably be a biddung war over it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wu actually makes decent coin on it.

Dude. Cilvaringz.
Dammit.....*sigh*, you're right. I still stand by my assumption that there is some group out there that could pull this caper off. Think PONO copping Neil Young fans...they got money.

All this corporate tie-in bullshit is just that.
Music. It stands alone.
An artist or artist handler trying to get Cribs-level money. That's where the bullshit begins.
