Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to fuck with, and they showed it by securing a deal for a sample of the Beatles' "As My Guitar Gently Weeps". The song it is featured on (as well as a possible performance by Erykah Badu?) will be on their upcoming album 8 Diagrams. For those of you who don't know the magnitude of this, this is the FIRST EVER legal Beatles sample, (no, Dangermouse's "Gray Album" wasn't legal... good, yes; legal, no). The album is set to drop in early December.
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien has signed to Def Jux records, (El-P's label that also features Aesop Rock who has a new album. Pick that shit up). He's also delayed his much-anticipated solo album, entitled 11th Hour for a 2008 release date.
Upon the second week of their "feud". Kanye and 50's record sales PLUMMETED. Kanye's Graduation sold 226,000 copies in the second week, (compared to the 957,000 sold the first week). Curtis sold a mediocre 691,000 that first week and dropped to a meager 143,000 copies in the second week. Quick trivia: The Massacre sold 1,100,000 in the first week. Late Registration sold 860,000 in its first week. Looks like Kanye's on the rise and 50 is rap's little Icarus.
Dr. Dre's Detox is delayed AGAIN! Wow... surprise, surprise. As for Eminem, they're three songs away from delivering the "retired" rapper's newest effort. Boy, another rapper that goes into retirement only to come out. Unpredictable... or something.
