It was intended as tribute, but Drake’s track ‘Wu-Tang Forever’ hasn’t got the backing of all members of the seminal hip hop collective Wu Tang Clan.
Several of the members have written and recorded verses to appear on a remix of the track, but others aren’t happy about the track’s title.
U-God explained: “[Drake] wanted us to remix it and get on there [so] you gon’ probably hear another one with us on it.
“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.”
But the track has been criticised by fans for using the title of the group’s second album, Wu Tang Forever.
Wu affiliate Inspectah Deck initially offered his support for the track, seeing it as a tribute, but after hearing the track he said he agreed with fans’ complaints.
“After listening to the @Drake song, I agree with u... It is in no form a tribute to WU and SHOULD NOT wear the title Wutang Forever!” he tweeted.
He added: “Not stating if its wack or not I said what I felt about the song and title in conjunction with WU.”
