Since his Dungeon Family days, Cee Lo Green has considered A Tribe Called Quest something like extended family, as well as an important influence. As he explained to The FADER, "How was it possible to be so varied, strange, unique, interesting and dope? Then "Can I Kick It" and "Bonita Applebum" guaranteed that a brave new world was upon us." He added that, "I am me, by way of many things, and one them is A Tribe Called Quest."
Now, The FADER is premiering the eccentric artist's slight-but-bright reworking of the group's "Footprints" from their 1990 debut album, People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm.The remix is the second in a serious of three (first up was Pharrell's take on "Bonita Applebum") that will be included as bonus tracks on ATCQ's upcoming reissue of that seminal LP.
The remix is streaming above, and available for download when you pre-order the reissue, which is set for release November 13. Next up, J. Cole's take on "Can I Kick It."
