Obviously this album exists on a hard drive locked in a safe behind a painting in RZA's crib. And Shkreli definitely ripped it onto his computer. There's copies somewhere I guarantee it.

Thank you Traplore Ross for a light hearted video. You’re deep dives on street beefs are good, but you don’t get to let that comedic genius in you shine on those. We need the laughs bro. More of this please.
"this guy is the goddam hip hop hero. And he just seems like a nice guy who is genuinely passionate about preserving the important Hip Hop artifacts of our time." What's nice and/or heroic about him? One wealthy conman loses possession of a grotesquely overpriced CDR to a different group of wealthy conmen. It's a matryoshka of grifters. So far, the only people who've heard this album are crooks, lawyers and the police. Real victory for "The people."
I don't get it. They talk about how they're fighting against "the rent seeking middle man" and then are excited to sell tickets to view the art they purchased? Is that not becoming the middle man? Why is the artwork not going up on public display, why is the album not on sound cloud right now? Feels like another capitalist silicon tech bro that larps as progressive while doing nothing of use.
@@MultiDemension Yup. Exactly. $4m would house a lot of homeless people or fund a lot of nurses/teachers/socialworkers. I guess the residents of Staten island housing projects must be thrilled to hear that a different bunch of millionaires now own some millionaire rappers' album.
Good shit Ross. Happy to see more follow up about this. Your original video about this was already one of the best, and painted one of the most "full" pictures of the whole situation.
I would buy this if I had the money instead of a painting, so I don't think anyone would be a sucka buying this. Imagine having the only WU TANG album in the world!
Honestly if I had the money back then that I have now I would've bought it for 2.5. Nice cars, houses and jewelry are common. This is special in my opinion.
*That thing used to be a coaster. Not even WU Tang themselves cared about where the album ended up. They just wanted the money. Thats how it ended up in Skrelile hands. And he said “Its Ok” Probably the most overrated album of all times and Ive never heard it.*
Some of the people in WU were mad that cilvarings was even involved in the making and wanted nothing to do with the album because it wasn't going to be released to the general public All members who recorded verses were not allowed to hear the finished product either
Not really. It's just an art piece just like a Picasso, Van Gough, or a Basquiat. If it stays intact it will continue to gain value as changes hands throughout time, just like any other valuable piece of art.

Has he ever heard of so called insurance premiums? Said companies would either increase the price for anyone with Aids to absurd amounts, or just stop covering people with Aids altogether...
Apparently you could also contact him or his company directly and get the drug for cheap. He did it mainly to scam insurance companies and big corporations because, to quote him, "fuck them. Why not?"

Martin was an antihero. The medication he raised the price of he publicly announced REPEATEDLY if you couldnt afford it either flat out or due to insurance denial could contact him (he had a burner to stream and let viewers call for a long time) or the company and they would provide the drug for free. Martin himself did end up alluding to it being a shitty move near the end though either way when he released pharma skeletons which was a long written document exposing TONS of other medical companies for doing similar things and claiming that they were rallying against him for a mix of reasons.

Martin Skreli used to give free college classes online... I never had an issue w him cause he said anyone who couldn’t afford daraprim you could contact him and they’d get it... dk if it happened tho
It's actually the other way around. He brought this idea to the table and everybody agreed. Then Martin bought it and they all blamed Cilvarings for an auction out of his hands. Think it's way deeper than people think.
16:57 that's basically the usual experience ppl had before online music downloads/streaming. No way of listening to an album until you copped it and sat down in front of your stereo. Oh, the anticipation... 😄
exactly lmao I'd do 3 days of research and consult audio experts on the best cd player on the planet that doesn't scratch it, have those bodyguards drag in $5k worth of audio equipment for that opportunity
Shkreli increased the prices because he new the government would subsidies it. It only harmed people without insurance, which is still bad. Hiss story should have shed light on how the government subsidizing healthcare allows these price increases. Big pharma still do these things but not to the extent that shkreli had.
"Big pharma still do these things but not to the extent that Shkreli did." Holy shyt this comment is ignorant and stupid it hurts every part of my brain. 🤣
Sensei Rza the shaolin warrior should of released it when he had it the spinner, who the fvck wants to wait 88 years. Of course he'd tell shkreli to chop it out for free though, Lol. Keep dropping them bangers my boy, I see big things for you in the future 💯
Martin Shkerli is actually awesome, if you don't think that you aren't actually familiar with the details of his case. The people paying that 56x increase were corporations like Walmart, CVS, etc and insurance companies, individuals could get it for free by just contacting them and many did. he's not even in jail for that anyways
Unfortunately people get only one side of the story. I’ve had this argument about Martin Shkreli so many times online. If anyone ever watched one of his streams or YT vids you can tell he isn’t some evil villain.
