Why Tribe Made ZERO Dollars from “Can I Kick It”
Added 2024-03-29 16:00:17 +0000 UTCToday we’re talking all about the classic song “Can I Kick It” by A Tribe Called Quest, why they’ve never made a dime from it, but with that… the strange story of the betrayed rock star who took 100% of this song - and why it’s a perfect encapsulation of everything wrong with the music industry.
NOTE: This video is 6 minutes longer than the YouTube edit, and includes a new kind of ending - let me know what you think!

I was slightly looking for phife dogs verse but I know your point was made! Great job as always.

As far as I know back then Tribe was using the S950 which had more than enough sampling time to properly sample the entire first two bars of Lou Reed’s song.
