Digital Bullet

Digital Bullet is the first solo studio album by American hip hop artist RZA under his pseudonym Bobby Digital. The album was released on August 28, 2001. As a sequel to Bobby Digital in Stereo (1998), the album focuses on an attempt to develop Bobby Digital further, and follows a loose story arc that focused on the character becoming more enlightened and more disillusioned with hedonism as the album progresses. The limited-edition version sold at Best Buy outlets featured two bonus tracks, which were also on the Japanese version of the album released by JVC Records.

gollark: Isn't that *also* kind of bad? I mean, you're subject to departmental politics stuff probably, have "publish or perish" going on, etc.
gollark: "It's only real work if you do manual labour, because that was around longer and is thus evidently the only valid kind, and it looks more difficult to me."
gollark: Yes, that is silly people being silly.
gollark: You're not really paying them for either as much as just the fact that they can do/make the thing you want and you are, presumably, willing to pay the price they ask for. Going around trying to judge someone else's "worth" in some way is problematic.
gollark: The learning time is amortized over all the other programming stuff they do, and it's not like they would somehow unlearn everything if you didn't pay more. Still, it is somewhat complicated and, er, possibly impossible, although if people want to do it (they regularly do complex things anyway if they're interesting) then why not.
