Ornette Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 Break name: Bonita Applebum (Why? Remix) Artist: A Tribe Called QuestTrack name: Bonita Applebum (Why? Remix)Original release: 12"Label: JiveCat number: Year: 1990Producer: It's a remix by the U.K. CJ Macintosh Also available on: A Tribe Called Quest - Anthology (compilation album, second 'bonus' CD) Example: Mampie Swift - Just Roll (Suburban Base, 1996) Notes:Well, I can't say I've discovered the 'Sandy' break yet but hows about this?Its similar, but not quite... There's a chance that it could be though - maybe someone could try experimenting with retriggering the beats. Not to be confused with the original "Bonita Applebum" version, as ripped off by The Fugees for their agonising (IMHO) "Killing Me Softly" cover version. CLIP HERE Quote
Phokus Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 Interesting, I've got that Anthology, will have to dig it out tonight In case anyone's interested, the original Bonita Applebum uses R.A.M.P.'s Daylight break - http://www.rolldabeats.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=36817 I'm presuming Roni sampled it direct from R.A.M.P., because of the name of the track he used it on, but there's potential for others to have used the original Bonita Applebum as the source of a second gen break.

Ornette Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Posted August 4, 2005 I thought it was a Little Feat track? "Dixie Chicken"? Quote
Ornette Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Posted August 4, 2005 Oh hold on..."Daylight" - you mean the ambient musicality of the track. I actually know the tune- one of Roy Ayers' production projects.Good tune. Quote
Phokus Posted August 4, 2005 Report Posted August 4, 2005 Ah crap, my sources were wrong then! I've not actually got the RAMP tune, does indeed look like the beats from Bonita Applebum are from Dixie Chicken. Guess I'll move the Daylight thread to the sample ID forum Quote

Ornette Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Posted August 17, 2006 There's three versions the Original (beat ala Fugee's Killing Me Softly), the 'Why' Remix (music from Carly Simon's Why) and a alternate, new lyrics version (music ala Isley Brothers/Notorious BIG - Big Poppa) called the Hootie Mix. Which one do you mean Quote

Which one do you mean Didn't CJ also do a remix of the alternate lyrics version??? I think the "Slave" mix or something, as it's based on Grace Jones? Quote
blakjedi Posted November 3, 2006 Report Posted November 3, 2006 on the original bonita applebum... anyone know what the original sample is during Q-tip's intro? I dont think thats been mentioned at all... Quote

Anunu Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 on the original bonita applebum... anyone know what the original sample is during Q-tip's intro? I dont think thats been mentioned at all... Hi - I think you're looking for the Rotary Connection's song "Memory band" (later sampled by Fugees for Killing me Softly). If you look that song up on Allmusic (maybe Amazon?) you can hear a clip. It's the "Bwow-wow-woww-wowww" at the beginning. The main sample throughout the song is "Daylight" by Ramp. hope that helps. Quote
