New Wu

Some new Wu has surfaced on the net, and the verdict.... Banging



A big deal has been made about the use of this sample, and getting it cleared. Apparently they haven't actually, directly, sampled the song - but have used an "interpolation" instead. According to Billboard.com:

"Rather than a sample of the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," the Clan's "The Heart Gently Weeps" actually features an "interpolation" of the track, with new recordings by George Harrison's son Dhani, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante and soul vocalist Erykah Badu."

"(Harrison) himself helped secure the reuse license," Wu-Tang says in a statement, adding that its song will be streamed tonight on Loud.com and will serve as the first single from "The 8 Diagrams."

Of course Ghostface has already smashed this once before on "My Guitar", although that was never officially released afaik.

Anyway, Here is the new one for your listening pleasure.
