Shkreli is offering West and his record company $10 million for the new album, which West has been promoting for weeks through a series of increasingly bizarre tweets. The deal requires that only Shkreli get the album, with no broad release. As is his usual course of action, Shkreli announced his offer to the public on Twitter, including a tweet with a picture of the letter he claims he sent to West.[/quote]
According to google Kanye West makes 30 million dollaridoos every year I don't think this matters a lot to him
Man fuck this guy. Kanye definitely won't take it but just the nerve of him
"has an offer he doesn’t think rapper Kanye West can refuse" I'm fairly sure that Kanye will make way more than 10 mill off of this, not to mention offering this will only drive up the hype and most likely the profitability of the new album.
I don't get why this guy is actively antagonizing people.
insane how much popularity he's gotten, guess he used the initial shit-fame of raising that drug price to coast off the controversy and do the recent stuff he's been doing
[QUOTE=Chamango;49727090]I don't get why this guy is actively antagonizing people.[/QUOTE] Because he's a manchild.
[QUOTE=Chamango;49727090]I don't get why this guy is actively antagonizing people.[/QUOTE] He wants attention
just because he think he can fuck with Wu-Tang doesn't mean he'll be able to fuck with Kanye. screw off
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;49727073]According to google Kanye West makes 30 million dollaridoos every year I don't think this matters a lot to him[/QUOTE] Additional 10 kk to those 30 does not sound too bad.
Can't wait to see Shkreli prosecuted for the corporate criminal that he is.
I thought he was offering to pay Kanye to stop him from releasing a new album, period. Would have made more sense.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;49727159]Additional 10 kk to those 30 does not sound too bad.[/QUOTE] except those 30 kinda depend on his sales
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;49727159]Additional 10 kk to those 30 does not sound too bad.[/QUOTE] yeah except that 10mil offer is not to have the album released so i doubt he'd make 30mil without releasing some music
Where's the petitioning masses who want to keep Kanye's music down now?? Huh??? Too scared to be associated with Shkreli, not tough enough is how I see it.
i wanna see kanye take the money and still release the album
[QUOTE=DarklytheGreat;49727194]i wanna see kanye take the money and still release the album[/QUOTE] I want to see Kayne take the money and donate it all to charities while releasing the album as well.
He's outrageously raised the price of a medicine, got arrested for selling fraud bonds, bought a whole wu tang album, had a tantrum when bernie refused to meet with him, pretended to break his hand in that tantrum on Twitter (even making a fake xray of his hand)... and is now trying to bribe Kanye into not releasing something he's worked hard on Like who the fuck is shkreli? Really

[QUOTE=ss1234;49727155]just because he think he can fuck with Wu-Tang doesn't mean he'll be able to fuck with Kanye. screw off[/QUOTE] But is Kanye a homeboy?
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;49727189]Where's the petitioning masses who want to keep Kanye's music down now?? Huh??? Too scared to be associated with Shkreli, not tough enough is how I see it.[/QUOTE] Kanye is a idiot, but he's actually sane and sensible compared to Shkreli. Which is actually frightening in itself...
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;49727335]I'd like to see a psychologist do one of those analysis videos of his body language at every point in that hearing. I wonder if he's a legitimate sociopath. It's pretty interesting when you think about it.[/QUOTE] I doubt it. If he has any mental disorder, it's probably histrionic personality disorder with a streak of narcissism.
Shkreli said "Kanye and his label are legally required to take my offer letter to their Board of Directors. This should delay the album by a few days." Too bad the album is coming out today lol
[QUOTE=Limed00d;49727110]Because he's a manchild.[/QUOTE] I don't think you quite understand that he is basically doing what a lot of people do via the internet on games/forums/boards. Its much like when I play online poker. I used to play on an app on Facebook and you could buy several million chips for like $50. Then I would go to mid-range tables and go all-in on every single hand. It made the game completely unpredictable for the other players and many of them got mad about it.

Meanwhile the entire album was streamed live, and every Kanye fan has a rip of the whole album.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;49727073]According to google Kanye West makes 30 million dollaridoos every year I don't think this matters a lot to him[/QUOTE] a third of your regular salary is a pretty big fucking deal what are you even talking about
Can we vote kick this guy off the... planet?
Too late and not nearly enough money

[QUOTE=DarklytheGreat;49727194]i wanna see kanye take the money and still release the album[/QUOTE] He'd get his ass sued so hard from that.
