U-God revealed in his latest interview that he and a couple of other Wu-Tang Clan members are in the works of renovating Drakes “Wu-Tang Forever” track, Hit the jump for more detail!
U-God stated to VIBE that he and fellow hip hop legends in the Wu-Tang clan have been working on innovating Drake’s latest track. In light of the criticism that Drake has been receiving behind the title of his track “Wu-Tang” Forever and its actual contents, the clan members have teamed up to make the track, well.. more Wu!
“They wanted us to remix it and get on there [so] you gon’ probably hear another one with us on it,” says U-God, shortly after landing in San Francisco to perform at Rock The Bells on Sunday. “[Method Man] did his verse–we all did our verses. I wrote my rhyme in probably 15, 20 minutes. We were moving so fast we only had about four hours of studio time. If I had some time to really sit down and get juicy with it, I probably could’ve got juicier with it. But I still do a nice one, I still do a real banger.” The Nothing Was The Same cut, which samples “It’s Yourz” from the Staten Island crew’s sophomore album Wu-Tang Forever, makes references to Raekwon’s “machine gun rap” opening lines from the original. Rae, as well as the official Wu-Tang Clan Twitter account have already expressed support for the track. [VIBE]
Hopefully the revamped version lives up to the song’s title, but I think any additional help by the Wu-Tang Clan will clear up any confusion behind the songs influence!
