If you have been under a rock the past few days, then you might not know that Drake recently released a song called “Wu-Tang Forever” when his album Nothing Was The Same went up for iTunes pre-order. The song caught a little bit of heat from some fans due to the title of the track having nothing to do the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. Those people might have to live with it now, because yesterday the official Wu-Tang Twitter officially endorsed the song saying that Drizzy payed homage.
Things got a little more interesting when U-God revealed that over the Summer, he and Wu-Tang Clan recorded verses for an official remix of the track. No word on when it will surface, but we can’t wait to hear them spit over that crazy 40-produced beat, especially with the way he flipped that sample.

“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. “Meth 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.”
For those who didn’t like the name of Drake’s track to begin with, would an official Wu-Tang remix change your opinion on the song?
