The Wu-Tang Clan makes Music an Art Literally

I am a major fan of creative thought and the Wu-Tang Clan really caught my eye with this great music promotional idea to sell only one copy of their top-secret album. Yes, read that sentence again. This has never been done in music history and I think it’s incredibly awesome.

The Wu-Tang Clan has been working on this top-secret album called ‘The Wu-Once Upon A Time in Shaolin’ for years. The only copy of the album will sell for millions.

Only a few months ago did Beyoncé and Jay-Z show us #NewRules to this music game and the Wu-Tang Clan is joining the party.

What’s really cool about this single copy of the album is the double disc LP container – it’s a hand crafted container by Yahya, a in-demand British Moroccan artist. Yahya is known for doing art work for royal families in elite members of society. The whole creative music process Wu-Tang Clan is undergoing is  legendary. It’s art in every sense of the word.

If you want to get a listen and touch of this single copy LP, you will have to pay a visit to some museums, galleries and festivals in the United States. Having a look and listen will estimated to cost between $30-$50. The Wu-Tang Clan secret album is 128 minutes long. Music is art and The Wu-Tang Clan want to keep that art alive.

What are your thoughts? You dig it or nah?

Here’s a  Wu-Tang Clan Throwback. Enjoy!

Briana Fierce: Why I Became A Writer.

Discovering me...one day at a time.

By Briana Booker

I have chosen Broadcast Journalism as a career because I have a passion for uncovering injustice, promoting positive Global/social change and chasing down crucial stories that the community needs to be informed about to empower itself. This is why I decided to major in International Studies. I wanted to be informed about a variety of cross-cultural communications so I could relate to people of all walks of life. There is something remarkable about Journalism, just like music, a media story can connect people all over the world and change the world- in one headline, one vision, or one statement. This is possible more than ever with the online media platform. It is extraordinary.

There is something beautiful about human truth that broadcast journalism can reveal and capture. It honestly captures the essence of life, the human experience. The sorrow is captured. The joy is captured. The determination is captured. The drive is captured. This is life. I thrive on that type of atmosphere. Journalism is an investment to society that spreads information and helps leaders of today and builds leaders of tomorrow. Journalism is an insightful look into the world we live within.  Journalism opens up a medium for discussion of tough topics such as wars on complexion by spreading the word on documentaries such as Dark Girls, the struggle to revive a community broken by self-hatred and mutilation.  I want to be part of this revival of humanity, this movement to a new world order of prosperity through the spread of democracy and quality of life. This is why I have chosen to pursue a career in Broadcast Journalism.

A Caribbean dinner party theme is a must-have for summer parties to throw! Play Calypso music, a type of Caribbean music that blends African and European roots. Calypso music has its origination in Trinidad and Tobago. Your guest will surely enjoy it!

For decorations, place bowls of coconuts and pineapples to form a tropical atmosphere. Use fresh flower petals to decorate the table, as well as seashells!

If you are into blow up decorations, try using exotic blow up birds such as flamingos and parrots. Use beach colors such as tan and light blue to make your guest really take in the experience.
