HipHopWired Featured Video Source: JOHNNY NUNEZ / Johnny Nunez Fans of the Wu-Tang Clan will undoubtedly have some mixed feelings as it was announced that Wu-Tang: An American Saga will return for a third – and final season – on Hulu. Wu-Tang: An American Saga is the story of the rise of the group from their hardscrabble beginnings on the borough of Staten Island in New York City in the early 1990’s as the crack cocaine epidemic was in full effect. Bobby Diggs, aka The RZA, is someone who has a unique vision to create a new path involving music and the involvement of other young Black men he knows from the streets. Their path would lead them to become one of the most innovative and unconventional groups ever in Hip-Hop culture and music overall. The second season, which ended in October, s...
RZA Regrets Selling Once Upon a Time in Shaolin to Martin Shkreli
RZA admitted his regret about selling Wu-Tang Clan‘s controversial, one-and-only compact disc copy of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin to Martin Shkreli in a Hot 97 radio interview on Wednesday. “It was in the wrong hands in reality,” RZA said. “He made the deal before it was revealed of his character, his personality, and all of the insidious things he would go on to do. That wasn’t the guy I met, but he definitely unfolded into that guy.” Last week, crypto collective PleasrDAO purchased the CD at a government auction, which had previously been seized from “pharma bro” Shkreli who had purchased it directly from RZA for $2 million in 2015. The pharmaceutical executive, Shkreli, was sentenced to prison on securities fraud and charges three years later. “Now that PleasrDAO has it, there...

N.O.R.E. Walks Back “Flunkies” Jab Towards Wu-Tang Clan Affiliates
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty N.O.R.E. has become one of the most prominent voices in media today via his Drink Champs podcast series with co-host DJ EFN. Given the nature of the show’s program and the looseness of conversation, the Queens veteran took a swipe at Wu-Tang Clan affiliates but has since walked back the jab after calling members of the collective “flunkies.” During an episode of Drink Champs featuring Mickey Factz, Asher Roth, and Blu, N.O.R.E. referred to Shyheim and the Sunz Of Man as “flunkies” which prompted some laughs from the guests. Shyheim, not taking kindly to N.O.R.E.’s jab, responded via Instagram and let it be known that he’s never been anyone’s flunky. Shyheim also made sure to defend other crew affiliates such as La The Darkman, Royal F...

The Government Finally Sold Martin Shkreli’s Copy of Exclusive Wu-Tang Clan Album
Three years after the government seized hedge fund manager and overly smug pile of human trash Martin Shkreli’s copy of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin back in 2018, it’s now in the hands of an unknown buyer. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York didn’t say who they sold the exclusive Wu-Tang Clan album to or how much they paid for it in their statement about the sale, but hey, they can’t be any worse than the disgraced pharma bro, right? Either way, the dollar dollar bills made from the sale will go toward the $7.36 million Shkreli owes from his 2017 conviction while he continues to serve his 7-year sentence for securities fraud. Of course, there were all sorts of stipulations in the contract Shkreli originally signed to obtain the only known copy of the last Wu...
