Martin Shkreli, who once bought Wu-Tang Clan’s exclusive album “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” for $1.5 million, recently shared his thoughts on the record. Shkreli didn’t mince words, calling the album “bad.” He suggested that the project’s value was never really about the music itself. Comparing it to Wu-Tang’s iconic debut, “36 Chambers,” Shkreli was critical, arguing that even though “36 Chambers” was great for its time, its impact doesn’t necessarily endure in today’s musical landscape. He highlighted how musical production and tastes have evolved, pinpointing that today’s hip-hop is a different beast, driven by significant investments and evolving production techniques. Despite Shkreli’s harsh critique, DJ Vlad defended “36 Chambers” as a timeless piece, underscoring the subjective nature of musical appreciation. The discussion veered into broader topics, with Shkreli asserting hip-hop’s adaptive, youthful nature compared to other genres like rock and jazz.
