Wu-Tang Clan’s 8 Diagrams Pushed Back, Beatles Sample Cleared, Still Not on SRC Site

Wu-Tang Clan’s 8 Diagrams – A Future Event in Progress

The Wu-Tang Clan are set to go on tour October 20th but their upcoming album, 8 Diagrams, has been pushed back to December 4th.

They’ve also done the theoretically impossible, cleared a Beatles sample, which they announced on their MySpace blog.

We’ll see about that Beatles sample but it’s nice to see folks still excited about Wu-Tang.

I checked out a wide range of sources for this post to confirm two trends.  Lots of sites mention Wu-Tang’s MySpace page but many don’t actually link through.  Maybe they didn’t bother to go there after cutting and pasting the news?

Many bloggers are anticipating this album but we knew that.  Sadly, some were already braced for the push back since at least January:
Here’s hoping the album won’t get pushed back, mid 2007′s already a long enough wait for me.

It’s tough being a fan.  Especially since this isn’t the first delay.

On the other hand, given that the album is not listed on Amazon and The Wu-Tang Clan don’t even get a mention on the SRC website, not even on the Artists page, perhaps the back office just needs more time.  Besides, getting the Wu together must be really tough.
