Wu-Tang Clan - The Heart Gently Weeps

Brand new track off Wu Tang’s upcoming LP 8 Diagrams.

The Wu-Tang Clan has claimed to have "cleared the first-ever Beatles sample" for a song with this track that does technically feature a "sample" of George Harrison’s "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

MTV also reports that this is a composition sample and not a master sample that you hear on this track, meaning that the Wu-Tang did receive permission to use Harrison’s song, but not in its original, as-heard-on The White Album form. Rather, it’s been "interpolated" — literally, changed by adding some new material — with new lyrics from Wu rappers Ghostface and Raekwon. Harrison’s son, Dhani, plays guitar on the song.
