Martin Shkreli’s eBay sale of Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is evidently incomplete. According to Matt “M-Eighty” Markoff, whose tenure in the Hip Hop game is decades deep, Shkreli was unable to officially finalize the sale before being booked into a federal Brooklyn jail last week.
The good news? Once Markoff, who routinely works with Wu-Tang, is able to secure the album, he plans to share it with the rest of us.
“I was the second highest bidder at 1,025,000 and he did not make arrangements for the sale before being arrested again,” Markoff told HipHopDX. “If he has any release time before his ultimate conviction and sentencing, that is when he and I will be finalizing the purchase agreement off eBay.”
He added, “I will be releasing the album to the world at large. ”
As indicated by eBay’s website, the bidding for Once Upon A Time In Shaolin closed on September 15 and a bid of $1,025,100 was deemed “the winning bid.”
So far, Shkreli’s signature has not made it to the paperwork.
On September 7, shortly after the album went up for sale, Markoff posted his official proposal and announced his bid was in the Top 5. Skhreli’s John Hancock is noticeably missing.
“According to Martin Shkreli my proposal is sitting in the Top 5. #LETSGETIT,” Markoff wrote.
For now, the date of the album’s final sale is uncertain, but if Markoff has his way, it will be available to the public in the (very) near future.
Yes mofo yesss!
Thank you Matt Markoff. You are officially the man of the year.
I hv a hunch this album is trash
The album may not worth 5 cent when last Wu put out a song or album that sound good,
man that trash
Last month. People Say featuring Redman. Quality track in my opinion. Can’t wait for the new album later this year.
I don’t give a damn about the Wu album but I’m happy af this bitch will be a new basket for for big cocks in prison.
I understand u young mfs used to this new wave of rap but wu tang got credentials u don’t have to like it but u gotta respect it
Cmon, all hiphop heads know wutang pumped out more garbage than classics. First couple albums were amazing, and a bunch of the solo were amazing too. But last decades been mostly trash, besides some solos form ghostface, meth. Rza just really isn’t good anymore.
more garbage than classics….NOPE
Awesome! If a dumb fuck is going to pay 1000000 for a fake Wu album and give it to us all for free who am I to say no???? lolololol
M-Eighty made most of his money off Killah Priest and other Wu members. This guy is total trash on the mic lol.
Matt Markoff taking one (million) for the team
how are you second highest bidder and still thinking you’re going to be finalizing anything.. you’re not the top bidder so step your bid up or shut up fool
His was deemed the highest bid by eBay, if you read the damn article.
If you actually read the damn article, it says the sale wasn’t finalized and on eBay, when this happen, the seller can choose to sell to the 2nd highest bidder. Guys, you need to put down the weed and pay some freaking attention LOL!!!
Wu Tang Clan is Legendary. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just a hater and does NOT know hip-hop, if you listen to little yatchy or uzi vert or some garbage like that then you should not be here commenting on shit!!
Damn i want to hear this album! Hope this dude gets it and shares to the world.
Scrotem-relli is a punk ass nerd that couldnt beat up a toddler. The album deserves a better home anyway. Bitch boy tried to buy respect.
I didn’t think m-eighty was a millionaire.
