Can I Kick It?

Released in October 1990 as the third single from A Tribe Called Quest's debut album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm, this song was written by Lou Reed, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Q-Tip. The track prominently samples Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side," with Reed claiming all profits from the single according to Phife Dawg, and the music video was directed by Jim Swaffield and filmed in New York City featuring De La Soul.
