Fiction: Wu-Tang is the "first-ever" group to secure a Beatles sample.
Fact: You can hear Beatles sampled on The Beastie Boys' legally released "The Sounds of Science." Plus, Ja Rule got clearance to sample "Eleanor Rigby" for his new album, The Mirror, due November 13. (You can hear way more on The Grey Album by Danger Mouse. But this one's illegal.)
Fiction: Wu-Tang sampled "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" for their track titled "The Heart Gently Weeps."
Fact: It's technically a composition sample, not a master sample. It is also referred to as an "interpolation."
Fiction: Erykah Badu, John Frusciante, and Danny Harrison -- George Harrison's son -- guest on the track.
Fact: It's "Dhani," not "Danny," FYI Wu-Tang.
Fiction: Wu-Tang's The 8 Diagrams comes out November 13.
Fact: The release date has been moved to December 4. According to P, our writer Nick Marx is reviewing it.
Fiction: The album will be released via Secretly Canadian (with a sample of a Phosphorescent song. JK).
Fact: Loud will release it, not SC, silly.
Fiction: TMT has done one of these fact/fiction stories before.
Fact: It's so true!
