Saw this on Crateism Instagram today.
It's a little operation and it takes time to shoplift all those records. You have to spread it out at different Walmarts because there's not enough stock at just one, and James can't fit as many under his shirt since he got fat. How else can we make money and sell them for $3.50 each to you fucking weirdos?I just read the entire post which is like 4-5 of these little deflecting messages. I especially loved the one where they explained to everyone they are just a tiny operation and need time to fulfill the orders! It's def. not there fault as a "tiny operation" they ran another sale right after being bombarded by orders they hadn't even started on yet. As a tiny operation they have to make money and will NOT take any weirdo's bullshit!
On the bright side if you're planning on moving in the next few months they will totes honor any changed addresses. They got you covered!
Oh and fuck the weirdos, they'll refund your weird fucking money you stupid little weirdos!
Just recapping for the weirdo's that don't want to check insta
To be honest I was fine with shipping delays. Just wish they would have sent an email out to people explaining the situation. Two other companies I ordered from recently did just that. When they then took over a week to respond to my email and in the meantime posted another sale, that’s when I got a little annoyed about it. Still no tracking or sign of my order yet. Curious to see what records I got. PleasenoAdeleI just read the entire post which is like 4-5 of these little deflecting messages.

First rule of Crateism, is you cannot talk about how Crateism gets it's records. If you do, we'll call you a Qanon conspiracy weirdo and block your mom on Insta.
Not sure where to start with thisI mean what the fuck.
If you are seriously going with "black owned record service is selling shoplifted records" , then that really needs to come with a source
I took hemotep's joke to be that they're slow to source product so they were getting it the slowest way possible. I had no idea they were black owned and did not take the joke to be racialI mean what the fuck.

I think it was very clearly a joke. I mean, "James can't fit as many under his shirt since he got fat"...I mean was this a joke? Because the vibe around this company and this thread has been off since the sale was even posted- and if you follow anything about Crateism, being black owned is a huge part of their identity
. I am going to assume that a number of other people here who purchased mystery boxes in the sale weren't aware of the race of the owner(s) of Crateism either. I don't think there was any malicious racist intent behind it.
You may be in the minority here… I barely know what Crateism is other than the fact that some people here ordered random records from them. Also, not everyone follows businesses on social media (IIRC I only follow my local record store and one brewery). I think @Hemotep landed the joke just fine!I mean it's a hip hop/RNB based record store/club, that prominently post on their socials about being blk owned. Maybe i got up early and missed the joke but this being a blk based music business isn't exactly hard to figure out
Woah, first I have no idea who owns it and was just making a joke because of the post above. I thought it was very clearly a satirical post based on what was above and not meant to be any sort of claim about them or what they do. If you think me saying they'll block your mom is me being serious, than I don't know what to say.I mean what the fuck.

I don't follow them and know nothing about them other than I paid for stuff....a while ago.... and haven't gotten it. If you think that (or any other criticism of them) is attributable to their race, I don't know what to tell you. Nothing in hemotep's post says anything about race to me; I don't think "shoplifting stock" is a automatically about race.I mean was this a joke?

I also had no idea it was a hip hop/RNB based record store. I've never followed anything they've ever posted on any social and the records I've seen posted here are not exclusively in those categories.I mean it's a hip hop/RNB based record store/club, that prominently post on their socials about being blk owned.

Sit down young friend, and let me tell you about one of the greatest heists ever pulled off. First, we must go back to 1872, where German chemist Eugen Baumann discovered the compound polyvinyl chloride, which would later be used in the mass production of the vinyl record.Black owned? Where the hell did that Adele record they sent me come from? I'll get over it.
