Cue the hype machine. Last night, Loud.com premiered this cut from the 8 Diagrams. It spots an interpolation of the Beatles’ “My Guitar Gently Weeps.” As I mentioned earlier, Ghost had already administered some lyrical justice to this instrumental. After 43 listens, I can tell you that Method Man truly owned this version.
The 8 Diagrams is scheduled to drop on December 4, same day as Saigon’s The Greatest Story Never Told.

esbee Says: October 4th, 2007 at 1:50 pm you negroez kiilll meeeee lol Ghost deini.. this song is NICE..I’d have loved the entire Wu to spit on this but it works..I felt meth’s verse was a bit too short though..other than that no complaints from me. |

Rizoh Says: October 4th, 2007 at 1:50 pm I don’t believe we’ll see a Saigon album this year. But that’s just me. |

JaRouge Says: October 4th, 2007 at 2:05 pm Ghost’s original verse is possibly my favorite Ghost track ever so you can’t top the rawness and straight gangster of that, but he still kills it. “So I fuckin’ bit him” Rae has the menace and Meth rips it (but too short) Solid track |

sooch Says: October 4th, 2007 at 7:11 pm I think Raekwon’s verse is just boring. He’s been real lazy lately, on every track he’s been on. This needs to be remixed with more verses from Meth and no Rae. Just snoozy man!!! Where’s the passion kid! |

Thun Says: November 5th, 2007 at 3:09 pm Sooch, Gotta tell it man, You str8 talkin shit… How you gnna come at Rae like that… You aint know infinite style when you hear it? Raekwon your uncles uncles uncle, nah mean? Seems you aint heard nuttin from any of the Vatican mixtapes. For me, Rae the most consistent, Most artistic member of Wu n he deserve those props you aint givin him, do the diggin’, you aint gnna find him slippin on wax… Insha’Allah theres more of this to come on 8 Diagrams… Buy the Album, Be real n stay up! 1 |

spider13 Says: February 7th, 2008 at 1:50 pm you people have no shame, no talented fools, how can you use a song a genious wrote and bastardise it in this way, the beatles were the biggest band ever a band who after over 40 years have songs that people still know today and you take talentless idiots who destroy a song like this, no!!!! the wu tang clan is pigibacking of some ones fame and in reality the clan wont have songs the world knows 40 years from now. this really makes me upset. |
