when RZA figured out what he wanted to do with this track, he called Dani Harrison, George Harrison's son, to ask him to join him in making this track. ironically, Dani is a Wu Tang Clan fanatic, so much so that he knows every single Kung Fu sample that RZA had ever used on a Wu album. Conversely, RZA is a huge Beatles fan. because of this, the track is not just another Beatles cover. It is a track that shows both parties' love for each other's music. It is, quite literally, a Wu Tang rap over a Beatles track.

Still enjoying new (and new-to-me) music too much to stop.
