Last week, we reported on the 88-year copyright clause surrounding the highly secretive, single-copy album: Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. Now, in a new interview with XXL, Method Man spoke out against the new conditions tacked onto the project.

“What do you mean 88 years?” said Method Man. Once the conditions were explained, Method Man simply responded “Fuck that album.” He elaborated, saying the following:

“I’m tired of this shit and I know everybody else is tired of it, too. Fuck that album, if that’s what they are doing. I haven’t heard anything like that, but if they’re doing crap like that, fuck that album. Straight up. I’m just keeping it 100. When music can’t be music and y’all turning it into something else, fuck that. Give it to the people, if they want to hear the shit, let them have it. Give it away free. I don’t give a fuck; that ain’t making nobody rich or poor. Give the fucking music out. Stop playing with the public, man.”

Later in the piece, Method Man stated that he was on board with the one-of-a-kind album idea, but the 88 year clause really threw him for a loop. “I dug the whole idea in the beginning. I’m like, ‘Wow, this has never been done before.’ I was cool with shit. But now, this is ridiculous. 88 years? Really? If that shit is true, that shit is stupid. You have to wait 88 years to hear some shit? By that time, it’s going to be fuckin’ played out. If it ain’t already played out. I hope that’s a rumor. Whoever said that, that shit is fuckin’ stupid.”

Reports indicate that offers for the album are somewhere around 5 Million dollars. Conceivably, someone who bought the record could release it to the public if they so desire, but for that price, it seems unlikely.

Meanwhile, RZA took to Twitter to defend the 88 year condition:

@xxl @methodman let us clarify for you. A 88 year “non commercialization”clause. Means corporations can’t buy it & mass produce it for sell — RZA! (@RZA) March 5, 2015

We’ll be sure to continue updating on this thoroughly intriguing story.
