MC Serch Scamming w/ NFT’s

MC Serch has found himself caught between a rock and a hard place, with some of his latest business dealings in the world of NFT’s, turning out to be complete scams. Not only are they scams but they’re attempting to fleece artists of their creative work. So not only are the buyers getting screwed so are the creators.

MC Serch appears to be the CCO (chief creative officer) of the 4 employee company according to LINKEDIN called HITPIECE, very interesting business name I must say. They claimed to be a music revolution but it appears everyone is revolted by them stealing their creative works. Patton Oswalt who’s a goon in his own right, first brought attention to them stealing his bits and selling them without his permission. Then floods of other artists big and small, came forward trashing the company, including MC Serch and his involvement.

When called out on Twitter MC Serch asked to keep it in the DM’s, people jumped on Serch saying he needed to make a public statement to come out against HITPIECE and their snake oil horseshit. Serch has gone dark since the tweet and HITPIECE has responded to many creators with a similar sentiment “dm us”. Hitpiece’s website went down for a bit then came back with no more NFT’s being sold but I don’t know where that stands for people whom already bid or bought an NFT from HITPIECE.

When the site came back online, it came back with a cryptic statement saying, “we started the conversation, we’re listening”. Call me crazy but they didn’t start a conversation they got caught stealing, straight up. They got called out said artists get paid, then the artists said fuck you, we don’t have deals with you. So it’s a mess.

Let’s just put this out there, in my opinion NFT’s as a whole are a scam and bullshit and you can shove the metaverse up your ass. Now if your opinion differs from mine that’s ok if you see some benefit to them, cool. But if you’re looking to invest in something like this my advice is to proceed with great, great, caution. Let’s hope MC Serch can make right, otherwise we’ll have to give him the gas face.
