wu tang clan just got cleared to use beatles sample...first time ever

and i think it sucks
www.pitchforkmedia.com...

The sample comes from the George Harrison-penned "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and is featured on the Wu's "Gently Weeps", from their forthcoming new album, 8 Diagrams. The song was originally thought to be just a partial cover of the Beatles track, albeit one featuring both Harrison's son Dhani and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante playing guitar. Now, it's obviously something more.

you know, there are just some songs/groups that should be left as is...

This is the evolution of music. RZA is going to make something INCREDIBLE with the platform they just handed over to him. I'm excited to hear it.

Killa Bees forever. It's gonna be on. I've taken an 8 year sabbatical from Wu actually. I was the BIGGEST Wu head growing up, got some catching up to do...

Hmm, didnt even know there was a new album coming. Thanks for the post.

Ill have to listen to that at home, and reserve judgement for later.

Either way, Im looking forward to some new beat styles than thier traditional "Shaolin - Twangy" background beats. Not that that sound is bad, it is the essence of WU afterall.
