Holy shit. Im speechless...Wu tang recorded a new album in secret over the past 3 years and are going to make 1 copy of it, and charge people to listen to it in museums, galleries, and festivals... The album, which features the groups original members, will be housed inside an engraved silver-and-nickel box created by British-Moroccan artist Yahya. According to RZA and producer Tarik Cilvaringz Azzougarh, the plan is to tour it through museums, galleries and festivals, where visitors will be charged a price to listen to the 128-minute, 31 song album on headphones provided by the venue. (Rigorous security checks will discourage the possibility of any illegal recording.) We’re about to put out a piece of art like nobody else has done in the history of [modern] music, RZA said in an interview with Forbes. We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like somebody having the scepter of an Egyptian king. After the tour is over, the group will make the album available for purchase for a price in the millions.
