Video: RZA Speaks on Wu-Tang's Chamber Music LP

As I mentioned before, this upcoming Wu-Tang Chamber Music project is looking pretty dope. I also mentioned my confusion as to the lack of buzz around the June 30th drop date. In this clip RZA clears up the details on the album. Along with the Wu usual suspects, features on the project will include Masta Ace, AZ, Cormega, Sean Price, Havoc, Kool G Rap, Sadat X and Tre Williams, with music provided by soul band, The Revelations. Go tell a friend about this one, hopefully it'll remove the bitter taste 8 Diagrams left.

The Guggenheim Museum’s 50th Anniversary

The Guggenheim Museum and Google have come together to launch a global design competition for The Guggenheim’s 50th anniversary. It’s called ‘Design It Shelter‘ that “invites the public to create designs for a 100 sq ft structure in which to live and work for anywhere in the world using the 3D design tools Google Earth and Google Sketch Up.” It’s just so damn futuristic! Also to celebrate, they are releasing incredibly rare film footage taken while the building (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright) was under construction, as well as special exhibitions including one centered on Wright’s works, another showing selected works from its inaugural art exhibition, and more. I love this building - it had a mixed reception at the time, apparently Wright wanted to design something ground-breaking , that would make the nearby Metropolitan Museum of Art ”look like a Protestant barn.”
