    This is crazy. Forget the sample, the song is bananas.

    Wu-Tang clears most of their samples. RZA (and crew) just doesn’t credit them. He says it’s like giving away your record collection.

    Peace to man, woman, and child,
    this is nice, dun very nice. Lyrics are lovely, more meaningful than any R& B joint out there, harder than any of that bling bling rap now I see why The Wu used this.
