25. WU-TANG CLAN RETURNS
On Dec. 11, Wu-Tang Clan released "8 Diagrams," their first album since 2001's "Iron Flag." Wu members Raekwon and Ghostface both had gripes with group founder and producer RZA due to creative differences and overlapping release dates (the Wu album was originally set for release on the same date as Ghostface's "Big Doe Rehab"), but the release date snafu was resolved and "8 Diagrams" became available Dec. 11. Beyond the Ol' Dirty Bastard tribute "Life Changes," "Diagrams" features "The Heart Gently Weeps," with an interpolation of the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
