Most of the Wu-Tang Clan members do not consider 'Once Upon a Time In Shaolin' an official Wu-Tang Clan album, but RZA says it still serves a purpose.

But even before that,"Shaolin" was a sore subject for many in the legendary rap group, as they realized they had provided their talents to a bizarre art piece.

Looking back on it now, RZA said if he had to do it all over again, he would still give his blessing to the creation of"Shaolin."Showtime's 4-part Wu-Tang Clan documentary is so epic RZA calls it the 'bible' of the band "From the time that project existed, it was a proper time to do what it did," RZA told Business Insider while promoting"Of Mics and Men.""I'm strongly against the devaluation of music, I'm strongly against entitlement that people feel about music.
