Wu-Tang Clan - Better tomorrow via @carine
Beloved Staten Island rap collective Wu-Tang Clan have released a new video for the title track from their latest album, A Better Tomorrow (not to be confused with their older song also titled “A Better Tomorrow”). It’s one of the best songs from the new record, and the video is just as good: it’s made up of footage from various recent protests from Ferguson over Mike Brown and NYC over Eric Garner, and ends with a list of all the black people who have been killed by cops since Sean Bell in 2006. “This visual was created by Wu-Tang Clan in the hopes of inspiring change and promoting unity throughout the world.” Check it out below.

La rareté est-elle l’avenir du disque ?

Face à la démonétisation de la musique, des artistes aussi divers que le Wu-Tang Clan et Jack White ont trouvé une nouvelle source de revenus en transformant la distribution de leurs œuvres en performance. Au risque d’oublier la musique en route ?

Pour le leader du Wu-Tang, son plan décalque simplement le « business model » du marché de l’art : « La valeur intrinsèque de la musique a été réduite à zéro. Alors que l’art contemporain vaut des millions de par sa simple valeur d’exclusivité. […] La créativité d’artistes d’aujourd’hui tels que RZA, Kanye West ou Dr. Dre n’est pas évaluée comme celle d’artistes comme Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst ou Jean-Michel Basquiat », conclut-il, espérant bien changer les choses et « accélérer les débats au sujet du futur de la musique ».

Why Wu-Tang Will Release Just One Copy Of Its Secret Album
▻http://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2014/03/26/why-wu-tang-will-release-just-one-copy-of-its-secret-album
According to RZA and the album’s main producer Tarik “Cilvaringz” Azzougarh, a Morocco-based part of Wu-Tang’s extended family, the plan is to first take Once Upon A Time In Shaolin on a “tour” through museums, galleries, festivals and the like. Just like a high-profile exhibit at a major institution, there will be a cost to attend, likely in the $30-$50 range.
Visitors will go through heavy security to ensure that recording devices aren’t smuggled in; as an extra precaution, they’ll likely have to listen to the 128-minute album’s 31 songs on headphones provided by the venue. As Cilvaringz puts it: “One leak of this thing nullifies the entire concept.”(...)
Once the album completes its excursion, Wu-Tang will make it available for purchase for a price “in the millions.” Suitors could include brands willing to shell out for cool points and free publicity (just as Samsung spent $5 million to buy copies of Jay Z’s latest album for its users) or major record labels hoping to launch the album through the usual channels (they’re used to paying top acts seven-figure advances).(...)
“I know it sounds crazy,” he says. “It might totally flop, and we might be completely ridiculed. But the essence and core of our ideas is to inspire creation and originality and debate, and save the music album from dying.”
Haha.
To be sure, there’s always a chance that this carefully conceived plan will combust before it sees the light of day, a possibility that Cilvaringz recognizes.

Le site du concept, quand même :

Industrial production and digital reproduction have failed. The intrinsic value of music has been reduced to zero.
Contemporary art is worth millions by virtue of its exclusivity.
This album is a piece of contemporary art.
