Wu Tang's Once Upon A Time in Shaolin has been difficult to listen to for the most part, but now you can hear two tracks from the album thanks to the Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast, which just released an episode about the exclusive record.

Once Upon a Time in Shaolin has a long history that Pablo Torre finds goes into detail. Disgraced pharmaceutical CEO Martin Shkreli bought the only version of the album, which cannot be commercially released until 2103, at auction in 2015. Shirley was forced to surrender the album to the US government, and the government sold it in 2021 to the crypto-art group PleasrDAO, which has allowed it to be played at special exhibitions.

Pablo Torre Finds Out, in collaboration with PleasrDAO, hosted an album listening party where they played it for Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man, who had never heard it before. The podcast recorded the event and Method Man's reaction, and you can hear two tracks from the album at 32:30 and 39:02 during the show.

Review the man's method? "I don't hate this album."
