Wu-Tang Clan Rules Buyer of 'Once Upon A Time in Shaolin' Must Wait 88 Years to Reproduce Album Commercially
The Wu: Once Upon A Time in Shaolin, the newest album from the Wu-Tang Clan, has been one of the most engaging projects of the last few years. The hip-hop group is selling only one copy of the album, at an auction house, to the highest bidder. Some details have changed however: Apparently the Wu decided to include some limits on what the owner may do with the record once they buy. For one, they won't be able to reproduce it for profit, or otherwise. At least for 88 years. -

Wu-Tang Clan's Chemistry Isn't 'Good Right Now': RZA
The production of the Wu-Tang Clan's latest album "A Better Tomorrow" was reportedly a long and painful process, and in a new interview with "NME," Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA reveals how difficult it was to get the whole Clan to work together. According to RZA, the chemistry within the group is "not all that good right now," and even suggests that it may have had a negative influence on the quality of "A Better Tomorrow." "There was a lot of opposition within the Wu-Tang circle to doing the album," RZA reveals to "NME." "I'll level with you, the chemistry's not all that good right now ... We've all done this long enough to know this process isn't just like, you make an album, then that's that. It's like a presidential campaign. You don't just make the policies then sit back. You create your platform, then you gotta take it out to the people." When discussing how the group's poor chemistry may have negatively affected "A Better Tomorrow," RZA compares the album to a baby that "comes out with one arm. You gonna love that child, make the best out of that situation and help it have the best life it can." -

Wu-Tang Clan 'A Better Tomorrow' Vid Features Footage from Michael Brown, Eric Garner Protests [WATCH]
Wu-Tang Clan dropped a video for the title track off their new album "A Better Tomorrow," and it is one powerful, political visual. The group used footage from protests revolving around the recent decisions to not indict police officers who killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York. Both grand jury verdicts have caused unrest throughout the country and political debates among friends, family and famous personalities. The video opens with a snippet of an address by President Barack Obama, who says the incidents are part of larger issues that have been in the public eye for four decades. Scenes from protests follow, with police sporting riot gear and citizens chanting "Hands up, don't shoot." "We want justice," Raekwon raps. "Police are supposed to protect and serve / And then they shoot us down like wild animals, the nerve / Of them cold-hearted killers with blue suits / Slaying our black youth." Check out the video below. -
