A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum

Bonita Applebum was the first single from A Tribe Called Quest's debut album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm.

It is believed to be about a real girl from the group's high school. The song contains a sample from the track 'Daylight' by Cincinnati-based soul/jazz group RAMP.

The video opens with Q-tip doing the intro by asking questions to Bonita. Then it has little stick figure cartoon characters who see Bonita and chase after her. Then the group is seen walking and dancing. Q-tip starts the first verse at a party.

Then the group stops at the because a kid is seen catching a baseball and they were going to be hit. Then they stop because they see a man playing a piano. Soon the kid who was playing baseball is seen dancing. And Q-tip is behind a violet curtain trying to impress Bonita.

Then the group are wearing helmets while cassette tapes are dropped on them. And ends with the group at the party with other people dancing.
