    Lots of history with this joint for me. Takes me back to circa 1994 when I was at a house party in New York on Long Island and we had Hot 97 on the radio and this joint came on but with no introduction. I heard it and was instantly in love with it. For YEARS, I never forgot it and this is all before the days of the internet...I tried so hard to find that 'Taxi' song. Finally when Napster came into play, someone had uploaded it and there is when I was reunited with one of my favorite legit joints of all time.

    "Soul's of Mischief Cab Fare" is a song about the struggles and hustle of being a young artist in Oakland, California. The group talks about the need to take a cab home after a late night performance because they cannot afford a car, and the struggles of living paycheck to paycheck as they try to make it in the music industry. The song also touches on the themes of police brutality and gentrification in urban communities. Overall, the song is a reflection of the challenges faced by young black artists trying to navigate the music industry and urban life.

    People need to petition to clear the sample rights so this can be on streaming services. The original writer needs to understand this song is popular. He would have had such a huge cut for how much this was played. Glad it’s at least living on here.

      Bob James - “It was very rarely [that I would deny someone licensing because of lyrical content, though]. I wouldn’t want to be a censor if they were using foul language or if they were being disrespectful. That’s not my world, and I don’t really care what they do in that respect. But when you’re tampering with my music without my permission, or insulting my art [like when my theme song from Taxi ‘Angela’ was sped up on Souls of Mischief’s ‘Cab Fare’]* and then trying to tell me you’re being really creative about it, I say, ‘You’ve got another thing coming. No way.’ Those would be the only instances that I would’ve been motivated to deny a person permission to use my copyright.”
      *Eventually, Bob James came around and gave permission to Souls of Mischief to use a sample of his song “Angela” on “Cab Fare,” but ultimately, permission was denied by the publishing company that controlled the Taxi TV series.
