      While die-hard hip-hop fans eagerly await the release of the Wu-Tang Clan’s new album, “8 Diagrams,” the crew themselves are trying to make history. According to the groups website, they have just secured the sample rights to The Beatles’ song, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” The Beatles have never allowed anyone to sample their music until now. And because of this breakthrough, the group announced that the album is being pushed back.

      “The legendary Hip-Hop group, Wu-Tang Clan, has recently cleared the first ever Beatles sample for their upcoming Album, 8 Diagrams,” the group wrote on their blog. “The group was originally scheduled for a November 13th release but due to the magnitude of the sample and the History being made, “8 Diagrams” will now impact on December 4th. Special Thanks to Danny Harrison & Erykah Badu for helping bring this song to life!! Also Thanks to The Harrison Estate & The Beatles for helping make this possible!!”
