NME reports: *Wu Tang Clan have announced that they’ve been given permission to use a sample of a song by The Beatles for the first time ever. The rap supergroup originally said that they were covering The Beatles’ ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ with George Harrison’s son Dhani Harrison, as previously reported. Now the band have revealed that they’ve been given permission to use a sample of the song in their cover version. In a message posted today (October 2) on their website, the band wrote, “Special thanks to Danny [sic] Harrison & Erykah Badu for helping bring this song to life!! Also thanks to The Harrison Estate & The Beatles for helping make this possible!!” The band also said that they’re pushing back the release date of their new album, ’8 Diagrams’, from 11/13 to 12/4 “due to the magnitude of the sample and the History being made.”*
