Wu-Tang Clan made an appearance on The Daily Show. The host John Stewart was successfully able to ask questions and get the group to talk about staying together for twenty years. Some of the tension in the group has been publicized over the last 18 months or so while working on A Better Tomorrow. In the clip below you can see RZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and Method Man answer questions directly while avoiding saying anything too controversial. Overall the energy definitely seemed good though.

“Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” is expected to be showcased on tour via exclusive listening sessions at various museums and galleries. There is currently a crowdfunding effort on Kickstarter to purchase the album and make it publicly available for Wu Tang fans.
