The Beatles & The Wu-Tang Clan, Like Eggs & Beer



You know how you have these two favorite things and always wondered what it would be like if you could somehow combine them to make something so awesome your head would explode? No? Trust me you did at one time. For some it's different combos of food: peanut butter & bananas, ham & pineapple, chocolate and popcorn, eggs and beer (one of my personal favorites). For others it's collecting the perfect combo of athletes to form the best sports team ever (i.e. fantasy football). For Tom Caruana of Tea Sea Records it was his desire to bring two very distinct musical groups together and make a great album. The result being his Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles "Enter The Magical Mystery Chambers".

A lot of reviews are comparing it to Danger Mouse's "The Grey Album" and with good reason because honestly what other Beatles-inspired hip-hop albums are out there? Blah, blah, blah... whatever. I could care less about the comparisons because this album stands on it's own - despite it being a rehash of songs we already know. These versions of Wu & Beatle songs will never compare to their respected party's originals, but there is definitely something that makes them work for me. You can find the whole thing here for free and below is a new version of C.R.E.A.M that appears on the album.
