Who is Wu-Tang Clan
The history is super interesting. Once Upon a Time in Shaolin was sold to Martin Shkreli, who was convicted of fraud for making millions off an illegal pharmaceutical drug. He had to give up $7 million dollars of personal assets to the federal government, including the album which, as far as I know, is now held by the government. During his ownership, he tried to sell it on ebay, said he would publish parts of it if Trump won the 2016 election, and had considered destroying the record or "installing it in some remote place so that people [had] to make a spiritual quest to listen." The album is not legally allowed to be released to the public until 2103.
