A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebaum (Hootie mix)

[princeluv1972]

This came outa in 1989 way before big poppa big wasnt even on the radar. .....classic

[BloodReel]

@pbase36 on the radio...recently

[scottythegreat1]

To all the Ladies in the place with style and grace.....

[BloodReel]

@Derail1993 I'd also agreed with that comment by @45bombom

[jackstanrox72]

This was a time when the original track was hot and the remixes were hotter.

[KABaynes1971]

This Song iz ancient but it iz 1 of my FAVORITESSSS!!!!

[qdtsmooth]

@DJColdhard Hes right!!! Q-Tip release bonita remix in 01/01/ 1992 then Big Poppa came out in 1994 with his dubut album Ready 2 Die....

[bigru615]

the sample is the isley brothers between the sheet but the beat is little feat fool yourself it the same beat in the orginal version

[45bombom]

This song to me is a rare case were the remix version is better than the original

[Derail1993]

@45bombom Same thing I was thinking.

[jminnigan]

yooooo!!!! ive been looking for this version for the longest!!! Much better than the original!! Thanks for bringing it back!!! Anyone know where I can download it for the ipod?

[Jay80477]

Loved this version better

[spantgar]

@CaKeBSiKK

Wtf dude why are you calling me retarded and dumbfuck i just made a mistake, it was just the sample fucking nerd ass bitch whiteboy what are you calling me fucking no life hooker just like your mother

bitchass

[spantgar]

@DJColdhard

Haha i never heard about that :O sorry i was just wrong hehe :P

[dablacksquad]

shit aint fucking bad

[spantgar]

The original sample is from Biggie - Big Poppa..

But this remixed beat is from Gwen Stefani - Luxury

Let people know!

[jonmmadison]

@spantgar haha whaddup young buck, you're wrong, as you've already been corrected. cute though

[spantgar]

@jonmmadison

Yeh i didnt know about that hehe

[thatdude1971]

To bad they don't have this version on iTunes.

[Brougham1989]

This is the very best version of this cut!! Thank you thank you, this is nowhere else!! This version was in poetic justice at the beginning at the drive in movie..classic!!

[DroyD91]

id love to hear a mash up of this and pig poppa, anyone know if one exists?

[yungtouch225th]

its interesting that this song came out before Biggies biggest hit but got swept under the rug. This song was incredible

[bossaglia]

@il0vestreetart etalonhiphopblog

[bossaglia]

I love when you call me big bonit ehm ehm wtf xD

[jenja718]

KOOL DJ RED ALERT DAYZ........BX STAND THE FUCK UP!!!!

[XxXxLETHALXxXx]

Heard this on Poetic Justice.

[jarell96]

poetic justice had me looking for this version !!! thumps up if you feel me

[YoungDeezyDaDon]

LIKE THIS IF POETIC JUSTICE BROUGHT YOU HERE

[pqstr]

@YoungDeezyDaDon yea man in the beginning i couldn't find this version i just knew they sampled the isley brothers and could swear it's q tip singing so these were the only clues i had about the song n it wasn't easy findin it cuz it wouldn't appear on search but im glad i finally found it peace

[Replaya35]

did the notorious b.i.g. stole that beat????

[ssebonynyc]

@Replaya35 Yep! But I would say "borrowed" because TCQ " borrowed" it from the isley brothers.

[thegoodness]

@Replaya35

Yeah, B.I.G used this sample too. The original is Isley Brothers, Between The Sheets. That's a classic song and ATCQ and B.I.G made towo classic songs sampling it.

[liffer2700]

CLASSIC SLAPP!!

[DKF36]

This was my jam!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAvalonStudio]

[noynic]

This joint is like that!!!

[TheAvalonStudio]

[edell24]

Poetic Justice!



[lucy2011ization]

thanks to Q-tip janet jackson have ONE good song

[pqstr]

@lucy2011ization wtf? r u talkin bout

[lucy2011ization]

@pqstr Well there`s one song that i like a lot (even thogh it`s Janet`s,and the worst part is when she`s singing-which she does just a little) and video is a masterpiece. It`s called "Gone `til it`s gone"- and i belive Q tip produce it- great music- u should check it out

[z4k5ta]

@pqstr i think she means got til its gone but thats so irrelevant to this video lol..

[pqstr]

@z4k5ta oh ok thats a great song but janet jackson has made so much more than that anyway

[clarencejones07]

did yall read that book HOW TO RAP where they interviewed Q-Tip and Phife and they explained how they learned to rap, and also explained loads of different elements of MCing... its really good, check that book out if you dont got it already

[W6S0A4]

@clarencejones07 do you have to be a rap guy to like it?

[markster7508]

@clarencejones07 ive got that book the science and art of a hip hop mc breal from cypress hill is in it as well great read!

[justjazzyj]

Yay-ah! This brings back so many memories, of me rollin to this at the rink! Im glad I still have mine on vinyl! :)

[qdtsmooth]

Tribe did this before B.I.G.'s big poppa. This was on "Poetic Justice" sdtk. Big heard Tip do it. And like it....

[TheCarmeloFan15Nug]

@qdtsmooth nawww biggie did do it before q tip but personlly i like q tip's version better. poetic justice was made after both songs were out. they put q tips in it because he was in the movie in the beggining

[ThaNotoriousBEN]

@TheCarmeloFan15Nug ....Wrong. This was a b-side single from "Tribe's" first album of "Bonita Applebum". This song is older than "Big Poppa".

[pqstr]

@ThaNotoriousBEN guys who cares? they all sampled it from the isley brothers lmao! who cares who sampled it first? damn

[aznxtasy341]

does anybody know if this remix pre-dates big poppa? this album was cut in 92, So I think they sampled this beat before biggie did, but I could be wrong

[grish76]

First time I heard this was when I saw them do this version on Showtime at the Apollo.

[mistadiz]

@grish76 ME 2

[Nightmare7415]

bonita applebaum u da bomb we can blow up/ but dont send me off, where u at , u aint show up/

[NZA14]

[BigTymez1]

i heard this in the movie Poetic Justice, its the shit.

[inte300]

Q-TiP  cool !!

[malbert34]

Absolute classic!

[yastuvoSL]

anyone knows who else uses this beat? or name of sample??

[extreme2010]

@yastuvoSL Biggy Smalls-Big Poppa

[Rjjr510]

@yastuvoSL original is Isley brothers between the sheets...Check out Tony Thompson- I wanna love like that (between the sheets remix)

[TheBrownsugar89]

I love this version !!!

[electriccowboy88]

This song always puts me in a real easy chill mode...it's classic

[Kwizmatix]

Oh Man... Thanks for posting this. Too bad this era is over because the music just seemed to have a lot more integrity back then. Tribe will always be classic!!! Thankls again.

[retro4sho]

This was in the opening of poetic justice wasn't it... at the drive-in?

[bloodz4life117]

damn i wish all these old times when niggas use to wear xxlarge

[pimpdaddyhustla]

[ElConquistadorNo1]

I just heard it recently; I still have the 12" with the stick figure Mr. Mohammed on the cover I bought in 1990. It is a classic I will keep forever.

[MoSwitchflipzMoProbz]

dudee i wish lil waynee and gucci man and all those gay rappers didnt turn rap into a complete piece of shit, this is what i call music.

[MOTHER2ANTONIO]

YOU ONLY GOT REMIXES LIKE THIS BACK WHEN YOU COULD BUY THE SINGLE! THIS WAS ON THE FLIPSIDE OF THE TAPE I BOUGHT SHOUT OUT TO RECORD WORLD IN THE PATHMARK MALL!!! THE STORE WAS ABOUT BIG AS MY KITCHEN BUT THE ALWAYS HAD THE HOTTEST!!!!!

[xXxtheCosmicSlopxXx]

to the people that actually went out of their way to dislike this song:

ur all fucked.

[4reala1]

my joint club 88 e.o nj evergreen

[MegaScorpio91]

Man i miss the 90s. I like the regular version and the hootie mix. Man, what happen to music?

[DLCOrganization]

Scorpio,

Don't miss the fact that this was the FIRST

HIP-HOP SEQUEL (that was a hit) that

set the standard for redefining what we call

"remixes", when they were never, in fact,

remixes at all.  What you're listening to right

now was PART 2 of "Bonita Applebum"

> Professor DLC

[LLJtbone]

@MegaScorpio91 Yeah me too ;-)

[apimpnameslickback2]

Damn I miss real hip-hop. This was muuuuucccccccchhhhhhhh better than the o.g

[Mrepifany]

one of the BEST remixes i have every heard...this song was the BEST to go roller skating on back in the days.. i had the cassingle tape and played it till it literally POPPED in my walkman. I was feelin the blues that whole weekend cuz i couldnt find it anywhere!

[justjazzyj]

This was one of the best skating jams! I still have this on vinyl!

[mrallpurpose]

Big poppa, Funkdafied, Most beatifullest...Nika, Nothing but Love, Breaker 1/9, Written on ya kitten, Between the Sheets has to be the most sampled song in hip hop history...

[mrallpurpose]

@WOMDBOOM

La Di da Di was A cappella (unless you count beat boxing as an instrument). "It Takes Two" samples "Think" by Lyn Collins. "Top Billin" samples "Impeach the President" by the Honeydrippers.  WTH are you talking about??

[OziiBeats]

[ethanmcgowen]

[devynnwoods]

[blackronjeremy]

Now this is what rap is about the lyrics, the beats, the flow, not like today rap music it all sounds the same BORING!

[magoo282]

this defines my generation

mean beats

mean rap's

[KabrieaRobinsonSD]

i love it

[Buttahman100]

This Is The Best Sonq Ever

[BreuckelensFinest]

They don't make em like this anymore! What a fucking shame!

[DCkid4life1]

@BreuckelensFinest Yeah, Now we gotta listen to that young money bullshit. Music dont make sense anymore..

[BreuckelensFinest]

@DCkid4life1 Yo I don't even know what or who is a "Young Money." His or her name sounds wack from the getty up. I haven't listen to radio since about 2003, what's on there hurts my ears. Must be a sign of getting old hahaha but for real, The music today is not true Hip Hop Music. That's different music, I can't call it.

[jhammaster]

@BreuckelensFinest dont say that hip-hop sucks becaue you think it does.

[BreuckelensFinest]

@jhammaster So you're the only one with an opinion that means something now!? Based on what you said, Hip Hop doesn't suck and it's in its best form because you think so?

To me, hip hop and many other genre of music has turned from Authentic Restaurants into McDonalds, Authentic NYC Pizza into Domino's Pizza. Pack it up with cheap contents & sell it as fast as u can to make the most amounts of money as possible. No soul.

Again, they don't make em like this anymore! What a fucking shame!

[jhammaster]

@BreuckelensFinest yes actually there are good people making good music not just the underground.

[BreuckelensFinest]

@jhammaster That's your opinion & I can't knock u for it. My opinion stands, McDonalds is not real food, it's Grade F food, literally. The music today, to me, in my opinion is grade F Quality. Just like foods, the way buildings & cars are made today, very cheaply compared to back in the day. As far as Quality It just doesn't compare. Look I am friends with many older Hip Hip artist, particularly DJs, a famous one in particular for HOT97 &he is sickened by the lack of Quality in Music today!

[jhammaster]

@BreuckelensFinest same with you and my opinion is same but opposite to what you think of music yeah there are bad ways for entertainment but not all and thats great you know alot of people.

[PhilM662]

unreleased tupac track "time to get my drink on" also predates big poppa

[djshinobilaty]

u grew up to real music not no lil wayne, soulja boi shit.

[Mrepifany]

This is one of my favorite songs by this group... i remmeber bumpin this song in my ape deck back in the days... THEY JUST DONT MAKE RAP SONGS LIKE THIS ANYMORE AT ALL.... lil wayne has a song out now called i wish i could fuck every girl in the world...WTF? i cant let my son listen to that CRAP!!! but i woul let my son play this all day long for sure... YALL FEELING ME???

[willberridge]

thats a real valuable point man! definately feel you on that one

[nmitchell98405]

I hear you...I Love Tribe 4 Ever...Unfortunatly Lil' Wayne is addicted to Promethezyne cough syrup...makes you say crazy things you probably don"t mean, but kids don"t know that....

[Quister22]

Man, i love all there songs man real hip hop i kno im just 16 but all this shit nowadays is b.s wtf do lil wayne be tlkn about.????

[DCkid4life1]

nothin really..nowadays hip hop is replaced with commercial bubble-gum rap...like lil wayne, soulja boy, etc....kinda like the blind leading the blind. ppl like wayne because others do and apparently its "cool". my friends go on me cuz i listen to hip hop but u know im glad to know its ppl my age that still listen to what i call lyrical truth..keep it up homie..

[sunshinesda1]

u r a king for providing this!

[draffpick2]
