Yeah, I read a Talib Kweli interview on npr yesterday, and unfortunately it sure sounds like there's no plans for vinyl for now. And it's only showing up on luminary.

Wu-Tang Forever 25th Anniversary (Bundle)
To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Wu-Tang Clan's Wu-Tang Forever, Get On Down is releasing an anniversary bundle in late July to include the 4xLP album with a lyric booklet, a silver colored 7-inch single of Triumph with Heaterz on the b-side in a picture sleeve, and a reissue of the double...

I get and appreciate the sentiment that they want to get paid, and that's totally understandable, but I'm not joining some random podcast platform that I'll never use just to listen to an album. Put it up on bandcamp and let me buy it outright. All this will do is lead to piracy of it if it hasn't already.
I had this local record store that my 5 best friends and I frequented every single week to buy up their new hip-hop releases. We went there so often that they would let us buy that next week's releases (all records dropped on Tuesdays back then) on the previous Thursday when they received them. I remember everyone being so hyped for this album and having to wait till that next Tuesday while we all had it the weekend before. I think we had it almost completely memorized word for word before it officially dropped.Jesus, 25 years? I remember doing a presentation in 8th grade music class on this album.
Yeah, I'd be livid too. They were $250 for the Denver show and I balked at that as absurd seeing that Conway did M&G on his tour for $25.
I regretted not doing it for Con's tour so I went ahead this time. It's a lot of dough (kind of absurd) but considering Conway and West could easily retire at any time it was worth it to me:/
Did you have to subscribe to Luminary? Download an app?
I just signed up from my browser and I’m playing it from their website, but I did. Was $35 for a year of access which is essentially the price of buying a Black Star LP on pre-order. And now I get full access to the Midnight Miracle Podcast which is hosted by Mos Def, Talib, and Dave Chapelle. I discovered it a few days ago and it kind of rocked my world, so signing up was a no brainer.
Is the album censored on Luminary? Or is it just my “unofficial” copy
?
Nice! I’m really mad at myself for not getting that Fan Dam. Hope there’s a standard repress coming.
