A track on Ja Rule's upcoming album 'The Mirror', entitled 'Judas' will feature a sample of The Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby'.
This news comes after Wu Tang Clan, who supposedly had the first Beatles' sample clearance with 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' on their upcoming album, had musicians performing the song and not a sample of the actual recording.Ja Rule told Billboard "We got the clearance, that's a win in itself!" Although with the credibility of Beatles sample claims of late, it is entirely possible that Ja Rule is trying to start another Ja vs. 50 Cent style fued.
Speaking of that feud, Rule said in that same interview "It wasn't really a beef, just something he was doing on record. It didn't faze me except when the public reacted. Then it was like, 'I've got to talk back.' But I never felt threatened; it was just words. People didn't understand that."
Calls to Apple Corp to clarify the situation were not immediately returned.
