(DiR) We all know rappers have a hard time doing anything original and a lot resort to "sampling" good songs, even classics, and putting their nonsense over it. Wu-Tang Clan are planning such a crime against a Beatles classic on their new album that may have George Harrison gently spinning in his grave. Contact Music has the story: Rap supergroup the WU-TANG CLAN are giving the BEATLES an urban twist by reworking the Fab Four's WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS with GEORGE HARRISON's son for a new album. Group member RZA has revealed the eight-piece's fifth album, 8 Diagrams, will feature the track Gently Weeps, which heavily samples the Beatles classic.
And, to give the new version the stamp of approval, the Wu-Tang Clan asked Dhani Harrison to join them in the studio. Red Hot Chili Peppers star John Frusciante also joins the group on the track. - more on this story
