Lecture 20: Founded in 1985 in Queens, A Tribe Called Quest performs in this music video their beloved song “Can I Kick It,” which simples Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side” (1972). The group wanted to sample Reed’s song so badly they willingly signed over all of the profits from “Can I Kick It” to Reed, a deal he accepted. The song appears on the group’s 1990 debut album People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. Today, A Tribe Called Quest is widely considered to be one of the very best groups from Hip Hop’s Golden Age.
