"Can't Knock the Hustle" is a song by the American rock band Weezer, released on October 11, 2018 as the lead single for their self titled album, also called the Black Album. A music video was released on the same day.
Composition
"Can't Knock the Hustle" was produced by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio fame.[1] The song contains influences from funk music and Latin music.[2] It is described as a funk rock song by Stereogum[3] and disco by Paste,[4] while Beyond the Stage Magazine categorizes it as pop rock.[5] It is also one of the only Weezer songs to use strong profanity.
Music video
A music video was released for the song on October 11, 2018, and was produced by Jerry Media and directed by Guy Blelloch.[6]
None of the band's members appear in the video, but Rivers Cuomo's glasses are worn by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz (known as Rivers Wentz in the video),[3] who is driving the car. Wentz's character is repeatedly disrupted by two passengers in the back of the vehicle, played by James Ohliger and Romane Recalde,[6] who are shown to be making out, and later, arguing and stabbing each other, ending with them being driven to the emergency room.
