This is the dude who bought that Wu-Tang album?

Same dude. Weird time for the Wu. They talked about how he (Shkreli) also bought participation in “a caper” or some activity with some of the group.
Then, a few months later, they go on Ari Melber’s show The Beat, for an interview and RZA says they don’t care who the president is.
Bummed me out and I can tell the Wu has lost some presence in my playlists since then.

What are you even rambling on about? Like these things have anything to do with Skrelli. You went from album to radio to rza to why you don't respect them. And they are artists. Like who really cares if they don't care about the president. Maybe it's a way to not talk politics because it's bad for business.

Same “who really cares” rule applies to your opinion and inability to understand me.

But you are bringing politics into a reason for disliking their music when their music is not political. Nor is anyone that follows their music. You are being dismissive because you don't like my opinion. I'm being dismissive because you don't make sense.

You are complaining at a base level about words I use and claiming to speak for “anyone who follows their music”. You are delusional in your imagined politics-free bubble and it would help to get an education.
You clearly just want to argue with strangers on the internet. Sad story.
