I see it in a lot of song titles, but only here. I never see it on soundcloud or alonetone. I'm assuming it's an acronym. Can someone explain? It's bugging the crap out of me.

I believe it stands for Work In Progress

They are quite common on Soundcloud if you delve into the depths of underground music production. Professionals don't typically post WIPs because it would go against their record label's contract. But yes, the above poster is correct. WIP = Work in Progress.

It means unfinished crap. It will probably never be finished and it's posted just to get "reviews". Fucking internet.

Yes, the internet does indeed take part in a great deal of fuckery.

I would like to think that those artists read their reviews and determine whether or not the WIP is worth finishing.

Glad you are such an optimist :D
I see you have one WIP uploaded and that review is damn helpful :D
Are you finishing it up or did you move on to something else?

Yeah, I try (though my partner says balls-all to optimism).
I know, that review is pretty great! I mean, one person out of my entire fan-base of FIVE commented. I patted myself on the back.
We are finishing it, believe it or not.
