Project 365 Day #273

“Can I Kick It?” from the album People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rythm, released in 1990

“Can I Kick It?” is one of A Tribe Called Quest’s biggest hits for obvious reasons. It has a smooth, meandering sound that samples Lou Reed’s seminal “Walk on the Wild Side” to create a funky breath of fresh air. The lyrics keep asking, “Can I kick it?”

The obvious answer is, “Yes, you can,” which A Tribe Called Quest knows because everytime the question is asked, the quesiton is answered in the affirmative.

In other words, this should should be on everyone’s favorite songs list.
