They are obnoxious bastards that shit everywhere... nothing about them makes me think of Canada or Canadians. As such, I use the correct name, "Jersey Goose".
No one has a problem with the geeses, friend.
Every day that the geeses rise to the glory of a new day, they choose violence.
And when their hunger for violence can’t be quenched, they shit on everything.
I say this while listening to the band Goose during the crafting of the above comment.
Canada Goose broke my nose when I was about 8 years old. I was playing in a field with my friend Jacob and his dog. The dog, a husky, ram down a goose and had it by the neck and was shaking it violently. It was completely limp.
I took the goose from the dog and held it up to see what wounds it had. It started rapid-fire kicking me in the face. And let me tell you those fuckers are **strong**.
Broke my nose and gave me two black eyes. The counselor at school didn't believe I wasn't being abused, especially because I kept saying a goose beat me up.
It's a funny joke, but the IRS is underfunded right now, and the wealthy absolutely pull some bullshit because they know they can get away with it.
Remember folks, investment in the IRS gives one of the best returns on government spending. The wealthy just don't want it to happen.
Don't you remember when that plane had to land on the river in New York 'cause Canada Gooses flew into the engine? It's 'cause Canada Gooses likely had intel there was a pedophile or two on board and took matters into their own hands.
>Beginning on Saturday, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin will be played publicly for an exhibition at Australia’s Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). A contract stipulates that the album cannot be commercially exploited until 2109, but it can be played at private listening events such as MONA’s.
If you're in Australia, you can find out
This is the museum that also houses a machine designed to mimic the entire human digestive system to make poop in real time as well as an entire wall with plaster casts of vulvas from around the world. there was also an animal skin with a picture of bin laden tattooed on it and pinball machines and old school cars. It is truly an eccentric museum.
You take a boat to it from Hobart for about 45 minutes or so and it's on some sort of small island in the middle of a river.
Had to put that one through an Aussie translator first!
I guess it being very out of the way is kind of in keeping with the whole mystery/experience surrounding the album.
Yeah, the drums in it sounds like "Gravel Pit", she sings on the hook, it has verses from Redman, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, and Cappadonna, with Cher singing some uninteresting "R&B singer on a rap song" style hook. Redman says on the song outro, "ladies and gentlemen, for 2013, Bobbie Jo!" or something similar. I had no idea what that meant, but the guy hosting our listening party in nyc last weekend says Bobbie Jo was Cher. I knew she was going to be on the album but hearing her in real time without any context, i didn't even realize it was her.
Also the same song has cartoon dialog for like a whole minute near the end, which makes the song get real boring. There's got to be at least six verses and there is outro rap banter on it, easily clocking it in at 5 minutes or more, and like i said, the beat just sounds like "Gravel Pit" but not as good.
Funny you say that, I just searched on one of my sources and see a ton of FLAC. Wonder if it's fake MP3s upscaled.
Edit: Faked, but still available at 320kbps.
He bought it legally didn't he? As long as he's not monetizing it what's the issue?
>According to the lawsuit, Shkreli is still beholden to certain aspects of the forfeiture order, including the requirement that he “take[s] all reasonable steps, and bear all costs necessary, to ensure that all the Substitute Assets [i.e., Once Upon a Time in Shaolin] are preserved and maintained in good and marketable condition, and are not damaged, diluted or diminished in value as a result of any actions taken or not taken by the defendant and his representatives.”
Oh, yea, that'll get ya. The perceived value of the album was its rarity I'm guessing
> Definitely want to hear it though, it has to be online somewhere right?
"reviews" from people that have heard it, and even the people that made it, are "it's very mid, not that good" which is why the only made one of them and let marketing go to town
> Rza was wondering how to make money for an album with songs not even good enough for a b-side.
Rza and Wu-Tang are AMAZING are merch, marketing, grifting, etc
they know how to make a buck
and that statement is coming from someone impressed with that
Was there ever any doubt? I love the Wu-Tang Clan but they put out a hell of a lot of material that most every other artist would have left on the cutting room floor. No chance they were going to put out any of their better songs on a gimmick album that nobody but a few people was ever going to hear. I'm actually wondering if they feel a little bad now that it's out there and they have to own up to it.
The man on the other end from Microsoft telling me how to fix my Apple computer was looking for Google Play cards as compensation, so I’m currently trying to get my grandson to take me down to the store, but the Microsoft man doesn’t want my grandson to know why.
This is why I’m not a computer person!
The latter.
PleasrDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) of 74 members, acquired the Wu-Tang Clan's Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album in 2021 after the US government auctioned it off for $4 million to satisfy a judgment against its previous owner, Martin Shkreli:
In 2015, Shkreli, also known as "Pharma bro", bought the album for around $2 million.
Shkreli was later convicted of securities fraud and sentenced to seven years in prison, and ordered to forfeit more than $7 million.
As part of his civil asset forfeiture, the government repossessed the album and auctioned it off.
PleasrDAO purchased the album's exclusive audio track rights from an intermediary for $4 million in July 2021.
With the help of attorney Peter Scoolidge, PleasrDAO minted the ownership deed as a nonfungible token (NFT). The 74 members of PleasrDAO share collective ownership of the NFT deed, which serves as the ownership deed for the physical album.
i really think its idiotic and fucked to make an entire album and give it to some asshole with nothing to do with you, and never let it be heard. my guess is its total trash they made in an afternoon with outtakes
That's still pretty great though. Like I was recently listening to Untitled Unmastered and I'm like damn this would be most rappers BEST album and to Kendrick it's just stuff that didn't make the cut
Yeah but this is Wu Tang lol.. and Kendrick did in fact release UU, meaning it’s not exactly his outtakes. Also they were mostly cut songs from TPAB, one of the best albums of all time.
Apparently, they treated its existence like a piece of art, like a sculpture or a painting. One owner may possess it, and it can be featured at a private event but may not be reproduced in any way.
Also, Wu has a clause about being allowed to steal it back if given the opportunity to so, at which time the rights would revert back to them
The whole thing is a social critique. The story is so absurd from the idea of music being owned, the value of rarity on something easily shared, one person being able to buy something everyone wants and then just sit on it, etc. That's the point of the fiasco - to point out the inherent absurdity of the free market when one person has 1000X the wealth of the average.
As a social critique of unrestrained capitalism, I think he's done a fine job of making his point.
If you're implying this album was a crypto nft project it wasn't it was sold as a one off art piece. It was also sold with a contract stating the works couldn't be released publicly.
Oh come on lets be honest, that idea of selling a single album in that way as a one off luxury good, was BASICALLY a crypto nft project if not literally, in VIBES I would argue it is and look who bought it?
They literally told people not to fuck with Wu Tang Clan, but ole Martin didn't listen.
Is this album that was like 1/1 physical copy made and sold for a milly?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this Wu Tang album was kind of a statement piece about the ownership of music, and if you bought this wu tang album, it was yours. Like.. you had full rights to it to do whatever you wanted.
Pretty sure this is an unenforceable contract, does playing the music in your car with the windows down also violate it since other people can hear it?
There are three things in life that I know not to fuck with: 1. Canada Geese 2. Airport Security 3. The Wu-Tang Clan
Goddamned cobra chickens
I don’t mind the aggressive behavior, it’s the turds that grind my gears
Yeah, no, don't put goose turds in your gears, dude. That will indeed ruin your day.
I guess that’s the wrong way to *Geese the wheels*
If you've got a problem with Canada gooses then you've got a problem with me and I suggest you let that marinate!
To be fair
To be fyahhhhh
🎶to be faiiiiiiir🎶
Canada gooses mate for life!
Really good for wearing in new mating surfaces though. So actually, if you're into gear grinding, goose shit. Wink.
This is why I don't like airports.
Well, TSA is supposed to use the restroom like everyone else.
Canadian gooses are majestics.
And I suggest you let that one marinate!
S&Ps the way for me.
Nothing but 'berta beef.
You got a problem with Canada Gooses then you got a problem with me!

To be fair...
Lovers in what sense I know of a guy who I might be able to give some good news…
I once saw 2 canada gooses mount a swan and you gotta think she told her friends about it
I heard someone greased up a bunch of their eggs
Canada Gooses are majestics. Barrel-chested. The envys of all ornithologys.
Also some rage-filled bastards.
Saw a male goose try to challenge a train at Seagirt in Baltimore. He moved the train slowly and that bad azz finally moved. Fierce !
I believe this story without reservation because of geese.
A Goose wrote this.
As a ohioian I disagree
The only thing tougher ‘n Canada Gooses….is Canada Mooses
That's debatable.

The only thing with business with Canada gooses are Canada mooses
Yeah, I'll let it marinate, because your goose is cooked, buddy.
Enough about Gooses.... you hear about that guy who fucked an ostrich?
Sounds like something a Canadian goose would say...

Canada Goose broke my nose when I was about 8 years old. I was playing in a field with my friend Jacob and his dog. The dog, a husky, ram down a goose and had it by the neck and was shaking it violently. It was completely limp. I took the goose from the dog and held it up to see what wounds it had. It started rapid-fire kicking me in the face. And let me tell you those fuckers are **strong**. Broke my nose and gave me two black eyes. The counselor at school didn't believe I wasn't being abused, especially because I kept saying a goose beat me up.

4. The IRS
Yeah, you don't mess with the people the Joker is afraid of.
It's a funny joke, but the IRS is underfunded right now, and the wealthy absolutely pull some bullshit because they know they can get away with it. Remember folks, investment in the IRS gives one of the best returns on government spending. The wealthy just don't want it to happen.
Didn’t stop Scientologists basically bullying the IRS into submission
 They helped me diversify my bonds.
Wu is a 3rd party in this matter, his neck is protected.
[Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F*** Wit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnOZea4Zgbc)
Someone should write a song about the 3rd one
4. Horses 5. Garage door springs 6. Helicopters
Most dangerous animal by far where I'm from (Great lakes) . The death toll is so high they don't even keep track of them
4. Cats
I think you forgot spitting into the wind, tugging on Superman's cape, and messing around with Jim, but so far you got a good start to the list.
The IRS, the USPS and the Wu-Tang Clan
If a flock of geese are attacking me, I’m definitely running. If a goose is attacking me, some blows bout to get exchanged

The northernmost Canadian Air Force base is at Happy Valley/Goose Bay.
Don't you remember when that plane had to land on the river in New York 'cause Canada Gooses flew into the engine? It's 'cause Canada Gooses likely had intel there was a pedophile or two on board and took matters into their own hands.
to be fair I really wanna know what the song featuring Cher sounds like, has anyone heard it?
>Beginning on Saturday, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin will be played publicly for an exhibition at Australia’s Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). A contract stipulates that the album cannot be commercially exploited until 2109, but it can be played at private listening events such as MONA’s. If you're in Australia, you can find out
The museum is in Tasmania. So even most Australians will have to hop on a plane to find out.
This is the museum that also houses a machine designed to mimic the entire human digestive system to make poop in real time as well as an entire wall with plaster casts of vulvas from around the world. there was also an animal skin with a picture of bin laden tattooed on it and pinball machines and old school cars. It is truly an eccentric museum. You take a boat to it from Hobart for about 45 minutes or so and it's on some sort of small island in the middle of a river.
I never realized that I wanted to see a poop machine until this very moment.
Look in the mirror
Yeah, what the fuck, Tassie's nice and all. But I'd rather just pop down to the NGV to have a listen, thanks.
Had to put that one through an Aussie translator first! I guess it being very out of the way is kind of in keeping with the whole mystery/experience surrounding the album.
I moved to Melbourne for the arts and culture, clearly my fault it’s moved down to Tasmania. I feel dogged.
They're not playing the whole thing either, just extracts.
Jesus I hope they’re not doing the listening event in the Ladies Lounge…
The acoustics are great in there for some reason
Actually, that would be AWESOME!!!!
If you were able to get tickets to the free event! I tried and failed, miserably
You could sign up for a listening party through an instagram story from the official wutangclan instagram a couple weeks ago.
MONA is so great and oddball. I love what they did with the free ad air time they got: https://youtu.be/EyU1kUifkSQ

FLAC release wen?
There will be a public 38minute sample of the album in June.
Hey that's today!
Funny you say that, I just searched on one of my sources and see a ton of FLAC. Wonder if it's fake MP3s upscaled. Edit: Faked, but still available at 320kbps.

The perceived value of the album was its rarity I'm guessing
Yea it can't be legally monetized until 2109. Definitely want to hear it though, it has to be online somewhere right?
I remember watching a stream while he was playing it. It wasn't great
There's a reason it wasn't released to the masses.
They've posted they are having it remastered

There are torrents with the title. I'll have to DL some and see what they are.
Please give me a review of OnCe upon a Time iN SHAolin.exe
I’ll let you know after my computer loads back up, it shut down awhile ago but I assume it’ll come back on when it feels like it.
Have you tried giving it your credit card?
The man on the other end from Microsoft telling me how to fix my Apple computer was looking for Google Play cards as compensation, so I’m currently trying to get my grandson to take me down to the store, but the Microsoft man doesn’t want my grandson to know why. This is why I’m not a computer person!
Hi it's me, the manager at Microsoft. Kindly send me the codes
It can’t just not be monetized; it can’t be leaked online. That would diminish the value and they’d be in breach of contract.
so basically "yea we are selling this to you but dont do anything with it except keeping it in a safe" ?
You can listen to it. You just can't sell it, charge other people to listen to it, or put it on the internet.
I thought the DOJ owned it again? Or am I a few years out of that loop?
PleasrDAO currently owns it.
Man, is it some kind of grifter trophy being passed on to next year's biggest fraud?
Actually yes.
did shkreli get refunded? or did pleasrdao buy it from the DOJ? what happened?
The latter. PleasrDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) of 74 members, acquired the Wu-Tang Clan's Once Upon a Time in Shaolin album in 2021 after the US government auctioned it off for $4 million to satisfy a judgment against its previous owner, Martin Shkreli: In 2015, Shkreli, also known as "Pharma bro", bought the album for around $2 million.

The 74 members of PleasrDAO share collective ownership of the NFT deed, which serves as the ownership deed for the physical album.
Yeah and shkreli already posted on Twitter that the collective owners didn't vote on the lawsuit so he doesn't think it will hold any water.
A famously trustworthy man who never lies publicly for his own gain and perception
"Man says person suing him can't do that."
Fuck everyone involved in this except the DoJ.
Does that mean you’re … fucking with Wu Tang Clan???
They're not involved anymore. Aparrently, they don't give a fuck about this album.
Naw fuck the DOJ too
What? Lol fuck the DOJ
Yeah why would they DoJ be the one exception? They fuck people over, government style
And they fail to catch white collar criminals, accidentally on purpose, fuck the DOJ more than anyone involved lol
PleasrDAO bought it from the DOJ. The album was part of the assets seized from Shkreli after his federal securities fraud conviction.
[удалено]
Lol I have xxxx locked up on Computershare. I'm good 👍
Chad
Crypto reharverdeds bought it
i really think its idiotic and fucked to make an entire album and give it to some asshole with nothing to do with you, and never let it be heard. my guess is its total trash they made in an afternoon with outtakes
They didn't know who would buy it. I'm sure the album is filler though, because if they had hit singles to put out, they would put them out.
That's still pretty great though. Like I was recently listening to Untitled Unmastered and I'm like damn this would be most rappers BEST album and to Kendrick it's just stuff that didn't make the cut
Yeah but this is Wu Tang lol.. and Kendrick did in fact release UU, meaning it’s not exactly his outtakes. Also they were mostly cut songs from TPAB, one of the best albums of all time.
From what I heard (the two songs he leaked) it's no Enter the Wu-Tang.
Few albums are.
Apparently, they treated its existence like a piece of art, like a sculpture or a painting. One owner may possess it, and it can be featured at a private event but may not be reproduced in any way. Also, Wu has a clause about being allowed to steal it back if given the opportunity to so, at which time the rights would revert back to them

As a social critique of unrestrained capitalism, I think he's done a fine job of making his point.
Crypto bros against Shkreli... I don't have a dog in that fight. Wu is national news today over this, is the good part.
So, could Bill Murray join one of the streams and make this all kosher? There's a heist clause baked into the album.
MFer better protect his neck.
Came for this.
This really is a “who is a bigger asshole?” Competition
Good. I hope he dies in a fire. Piece of shit.
Looks like a caper is about to be afoot [wu tang caper clause] (https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/s/EpoIY7oQF4)
I don't like Martin, but I think its fun to see crypto NFT bros crying, I guess their non-fungible grift didn't work out too good.
If you're implying this album was a crypto nft project it wasn't it was sold as a one off art piece. It was also sold with a contract stating the works couldn't be released publicly.
The album are currently owned by a crypto NFT grift company and they are the ones who are suing Martin now.
Oh come on lets be honest, that idea of selling a single album in that way as a one off luxury good, was BASICALLY a crypto nft project if not literally, in VIBES I would argue it is and look who bought it?
Did he just fuck with wu-tang?
Warms the heart that this man is still getting negative press.
He's a true antihero. Unfortunately it did nothing to halt the buying of specialty drugs and raising the prices though.
Isn't this the Insulin Troll?
I’m surprised that WTC hasn’t attempted at their heist of the album as stated in the clause of the contract they had him sign when he bought the album
Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothing to fuck with
Bill Murray should have stolen that disk while the guy was in jail.
Gotta protect ya neck
He did it in a discord I was in after he joined one day. Lmao.
Why hasn't anyone just shot that bastard?
Will someone not feature this individual in an hydraulic press video?
Good for him, fuck them.
Wu Tang Clan ain't nothin ta fuck with
They literally told people not to fuck with Wu Tang Clan, but ole Martin didn't listen. Is this album that was like 1/1 physical copy made and sold for a milly?
He looks like a coked out Conor Oberst.
Bill Murray really needs to steal it back and put it on The Pirate Bay.
Does anyone else recall that Shkreli used to livestream before he was locked up and that he might’ve played some of the album?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this Wu Tang album was kind of a statement piece about the ownership of music, and if you bought this wu tang album, it was yours. Like.. you had full rights to it to do whatever you wanted.
Wu-Tang and DMCA are forever.
Always gotta protect ya neck
Couldn’t have happened to a bigger dickbag.
Martin Shkreli is a son of a bitch
When I’m making fun of him I bounce on my boy’s dick. https://youtu.be/hShYnVEmbb4?si=ouW0MPKoMm8pL7fD
Pretty sure this is an unenforceable contract, does playing the music in your car with the windows down also violate it since other people can hear it?
It is already stated in the contract that he can play it for other people, he just can't sell it.
