Video After The Jump
Last March we reported that the Wu Tang Clan had recorded a secret album titled "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin," that they would only sell one copy of for millions of dollars.
Some hip hop heads wondered if the group could pull it off, but TMZ reports that an anonymous American buyer has purchased the double disc for over $1 million.
As part of the deal, the collector cannot release any of the 31 songs for 88 years, which means unless one of us turns out to be the second coming of Methuselah, we'll never get to hear the record, aside from one 51-second snippet of a track producer Tarik “Cilvaringz” Azzougarh shared with Forbes last year.
“For art to change the way people think, it has to come from an extreme place,” said RZA. “No monumental change ever started with a compromise or a small shift. It starts extreme.”
