The Tribe gonna get you vibin' this morning. Welcome to the weekend, party people.
The Tribe is gonna be your soundtrack this morning. Today we peep the classic "Can I Kick It?". The video uses a non-album version (Spirit Mix) while the orginal (below) has the tasty Lou Reed sample.
"Wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug"
This track is a party starter. Always has been. I've been a fan of Tip's flow since first hearing him in 1990. This cut just vibes - so fresh. Also, dig the sample source, "I Wanna Stay" by Love Unlimited Orchestra (featuring Barry White). Stay cool.
I recently started following actor/director Michael Rappaport on Twitter. As some of you know, he has just launched a documentary called Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest. A doc he shot about the bands origin, break up and eventual reunion. Can't wait to see it. On Twitter, he asked "when did you first hear ATCQ?". For me, it was 1991. The Low End Theory had just come out and I heard the cut "Check the Rhime". I immediately went out and bought the album. Been a fan since, in fact - just bought a Low End Theory t-shirt last week. Can't wait for the film.
