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.
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.
