RIAA Dumps Unsold Inventory to Settle Anti-Trust Case

theodp writes "A music windfall promised to WA public schools and libraries from last year's $143M anti-trust settlement with the recording industry wasn't all it was cracked up to be. While WA got 115,241 music CDs out of the deal, folks aren't quite sure what to do with the odd collection, which includes 387 CDs containing explicit lyrics by Big Pun, 310 copies of Will Smith's Willenium and 48 copies of Spooky Scary Sounds for Halloween from Martha Stewart."

    Don't forget probably the most important lesson from the WU.

    CREAM - Cash Rules Everything Around Me

    IMHO, Method Man was probably the best rapper in the original WU-Tang.

    Screw that. The true knowledging of the Wu-tang is to find out all about the 5% Nation!

    How else are you going to find out that all white men are the nefarious product of an evil black scientist, Yakub?

    Peace to all my Gods, Earths, Seeds! From ya cipher all power derives!

    Actually Masta Killa's No Said Date is turning out to be the best hip-hop release of the year... besting Pretty Toney, Madvillainy. The new V. Vaughn (Venomous Villain) may turn the tables...
