What is happening to my (our) beloved Wu Tang Clan?
You know who bought ABT?
White people in their '30s. And they were disappointed. I get why, to be honest, though I hold that it's a good album -- just not good by the group's own standards.
They have a chane for redemption with Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, which should probably be their last record, at least for a while...
And what are they (read: "what is RZA") doing? He's toying with ideas like 1.) never letting anyone hear it, 2.) Giving the music away and letting the physical product be the time-capsule, one in a million worl of art (what happened to this idea btw?) and 3.) Letting people hear it long after everyone who cares is DEAD.
I think he's off his nut, and I find myself hoping the band formally calls it quits before he further sullies the legacy of the greatest hip hop group of all time.
I AM SO ANGRY!
