I guess that Wu Tang album really spoke to him
- zappo2938 11y agoWu Tang speak to him as much as Rage Against the Machine speaks to Paul Ryan.
- strictnein 11y agoRage is so against the machine that they've done over $100 million in revenue for Sony. So, yeah, they make lots of money for a big multinational. Sounds like something a stereotypical Republican would like, no?
- zappo2938 11y agoC.R.E.A.M. by Wu - Tang addresses this. The song is about how they went from being drug dealers to preaching to kids how gang banging and drug dealing isn't the way. They made a lot of money doing that too, deservedly so. Corporations and cash for that matter are not inherently corrupt. My point is if people really listened to Wu - Tang they wouldn't be corrupt drug dealers even if they sold legal drugs.
- golergka 11y agoPoint about RATM still stands. Not because "all corporations are evil — of course not — but because RATM preaches exactly that "all corporations are evil".
- crdoconnor 11y agoIt's nice how they got to choose between that and being unknowns for the rest of their lives.
- snarfy 11y agoOr all the cocaine.
- wyldfire 11y agoAre you making a joke or is the "RZA" that he refers to the same?

- codyb 11y agoHe is the purchaser of a Wu-Tang album of which only one copy was to exist known as "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" [0]. Which has a clause stating that Wu-Tang or Bill Murray can attempt one heist to steal the album back without repercussion [1]. The world is a strange place. Also sorry about the ad ridden mess that is reference [1], I'm at work.

- sp332 11y agoThe clause is a hoax. A pretty hilarious one though! http://nymag.com/following/2015/12/wu-tang-wont-actually-steal-their-album-back.html http://nymag.com/following/2015/12/wu-tang-wont-actually-ste...
- rconti 11y agoWhen I heard about the hoax, I felt stupid for falling for this thing about a Wu-Tang album with only one copy that the owner hadn't even listened to. THEN I found out that only the Bill Murray clause was a hoax, and the actual album thing is true. Christ.
- vtlynch 11y agoShkreli is indeed referring to the Clan's RZA. Shkreli recently bought the single existing copy of their newest album.
