Wu-Tang Clan’s much-storied album “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” has been in the news cycle for years after changing ownership and spurring lawsuits, and the melee surrounding the one-of-a-kind project
has left group member Method Man with a skewed opinion. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Meth refers to the album as a “circus spectacle” and that it’s an “uncomfortable subject” for the group to discuss. He also claims that “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” was never meant to be a Wu-Tang Clan album, and that an unnamed financier cobbled together old and new verses into the resulting project. “I thought it was some circus spectacle,” he said.
We all had a problem with it because that’s not how it was described to us.” “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” has been a talking point for Wu-Tang Clan for almost a decade, since notorious “pharma bro” Martin Shkreli purchased the album for $2 million in 2015. After he tried to sell the album on eBay amid legal troubles, the government seized the record and auctioned it off to PleasrDAO in 2021 for $4.75 million.
