A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It? 1990
"Can I Kick It?" is a song by American hip hop group A Tribe Called Quest, released in October 1990 as the third single from their debut album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. The song, which has a call and response chorus, was recorded in 1989, when the group members were aged 18-19. "Can I Kick It?" contains samples of "Walk on the Wild Side" by Lou Reed, "What a Waste" by Ian Dury and the Blockheads, "Spinning Wheel" by Dr. Lonnie Smith, "Dance of the Knights" by Sergei Prokofiev, and "Sunshower" by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. Phife Dawg has stated that, because of the use of the "Walk on the Wild Side" sample, the group did not receive any money from the single, with Lou Reed instead claiming the profits. The music video for the song was directed by Jim Swaffield and filmed in New York City, featuring among others De La Soul.
In 2012, NME ranked "Can I Kick It?" number 90 in their list of the "100 Best Songs of the 1990s", naming it a "laidback chant-a-long". In 2021, Rolling Stone included it in their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" at number 292. In 2022, Pitchfork ranked it number 25 in their list of "The 250 Best Songs of the 1990s". In 2023, Billboard ranked it number 50 in their list of "The 100 Best Pop Songs Never to Hit the Hot 100", and PureWow ranked it number 20 in their list of "The 53 Best 90s Songs of All Time". In 2024, Esquire ranked it number 25 in their "The 50 Best Songs of the '90s".
The song was featured on the soundtrack to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, a remake of the first 2 Tony Hawk games Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. It was used at the start of the 2021 film Tom & Jerry being performed by a flock of pigeons, for the end credits for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in 2023, and for the Paramount+ series Knuckles.
