Show Notes:


In 2015, Wu-Tang Clan shocked the world by selling Once Upon a Time in Shaolin—a one-of-a-kind album packaged like a priceless artifact. The buyer? Martin Shkreli, the infamous “pharma bro,” who locked the music away.


In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore the story of the rarest rap album ever made, why it became a symbol of greed and controversy, and how it ultimately resurfaced. We also dig into the world of ultra-rare, insanely expensive vinyl—from The Beatles to Prince—and the collectors who’ll pay anything for the right record.


🎧 Press play for a journey into music, money, and myth.
