Ever heard of a rare album? How about only one in existence? Legendary Hip Hop group Wu-Tang Clan is polishing off their new album release "The Wu - Once Upon A Time In Shaolin..." but this isn't your ordinary album release. The double album is held within a hand crafted nickel-silver box by British Moroccan artist Yahya and awaits the purchase from one owner, that's right one. Pictures can be seen here if you're interested in the multi-million dollar bid.
What are the odds of this person uploading the mp3's on the internet after making a purchase that big? Don't hold your breath. Our only hope is that a big company makes the purchase and distributes the MP3's online for the public. Otherwise, you'll ears will never hear it.
So what do you guys think? Should they just release it like a normal album? Is this a good thing? Bad thing? Should all music artist follow this path? Remember Nipsey Hustle selling $100 mixtapes and Jay-Z reached out and bought 100? Leave your thoughts below and let us know what you think.
A person spends $20 to get high or drunk, but can't spent $10 to make themselves better or buy good music.
