Method Man Describes Rare Wu-Tang Clan Album as a ‘Circus Spectacle,’ Says It’s an ‘Uncomfortable Subject’ for Group to Discuss

Wu-Tang Clan’s album, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, is a rare and important piece of hip-hop history.

Instead, the album is so unique because only one copy exists, and it was sold at auction for an eye-watering $2 million in 2015. The LP can also not be played publicly or distributed at large until 2103.
