Wu-Tang Clan proved to be the most revolutionary rap group of the mid-’90s – and only partially because of their music. Turning the standard concept of a hip-hop crew inside out. The crew just released their new double album “Once Upon a Time In Shaolin….” the album as reported will be sold to the highest bidder as it will be unavailable for general use.
The only copy of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin is reportedly enclosed in a handmade silver box and locked in a Moroccan vault. “Nobody else has a copy of this record, even the rest of the Clan,” the album’s producer, Tarik “Cilvaringz” Azzougarh, explained in an interview with the Abu Dhabi National.
According to a source, the Wu-Tang clan has already received numerous offers to purchase the music once it finishes its exhibition circuit.
“Offers came in at $2m (£1.2m), somebody offered $5m (£3m) yesterday,” So far, $5m is the biggest number … I’ve been getting a lot of emails [showing interest] – some from people I know, some from people I don’t know, and they’re also emailing other members of my organisation.”
However a the group are yet to announce a release date for Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.
