Crack is a helluva drug! Intervention needed badly or just let him self destruct?
Feed him more to speed up the process.

Which, yes, means that Obama owns the Wu-Tang album

And yet instead of ignoring the bad behavior, we reward it with attention.
Some yāall need to watch Supernanny or the Dog Whisperer.

Iām all for the basic idea behind this offer (providing creative types with financial backing so they can create), but I think that an expiration date would make it a lot more plausible.
Also, maybe offering it to somebody who could actually use the cash. Wu-Tang probably isnāt as flush as they once were, so they could probably use it, but Mr. West certainly doesnāt need this to get by and keep making music.
I once heard a story about David Bowie recording an album of pure silence to satisfy a contractā¦

I get why people donāt like Martin Shkreli, but I donāt get the surprise at his behavior - isnāt his behavior exactly what capitalism is designed to allow people with money to do? Take advantage with zero repercussions? Like him laughing in the face of congressā¦ because he knows there is nothing they can do. Because heās got money.
If anything, heās just more honest about his contempt for the rest of us than those in his economic position usually are.

I would listen to that.
Thereās a little shout-out to Shrekli at the end of that new film about D.T. Rump.
I thought you were more of a Scotch Le Petomaine?

My first reaction was that someone was impersonating him because of that. Unless heās just trolling, which he certainly likes to do in other contexts.
Well, he was totally driving trollies his record company, for sure. But he recorded a whole album-worth of improvised crappy songs to get out of his contract. Worth listening to for a laugh.

I was thinking more of Shkreli doing the trolling, but yeah, it could be Kanye, tooā¦

Oh, sorry, sometimes I miss what post folks are responding to. Yeah, it does come off like a fake Shkreli letter.
But no mention of his results in New Hampshire, isnāt Martin Shkreli still the republican front-runner?
Youāre thinking of a different smirking assholeā¦

Perhaps heāll do us a favour and help blatantly expose the way the system works.
Reminds me of Dawkins a bit. His biology writing is way better than everything-he-does-on-twitter-besides-talking-about-biology.
