The second bonus track from the 25th Anniversary re-issue of ATCQ’s debut features a completely re-worked instrumental of Bonita Applebum by Pharrell.
[Intro: Q-Tip]
Do I love you?
Do I lust for you?
Am I a sinner because I do the two?
Can you let me know
Right now, please
Bonita Applebum
[Chorus]
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita
[Verse 1: Q-Tip]
Hey Bonita, glad to meet ya
For the cunning, stunning you, miss, I must beseech ya (mhm)
Hey, being with you is a top priority
Ain't no need to question the authority (mhm)
Chairman of the board, the chief of affections (hhm)
You got mine's to swing in your direction
Hey, you're like a hip-hop song, you know?
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
[Chorus]
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita
[Verse 2: Q-Tip]
38-24-37 (uh, uh, uh!)
You and me, hun, we're a match made in heaven
I like to kiss ya where some brothers won't
I like to tell ya things some brothers don't
If only you could see through your elaborate eyes
Only you and me, hun, the love never dies
Satisfaction, I have the right tactics
And if you need 'em, I got crazy prophylactics
So far, I hope you like rap songs
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
[Chorus]
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
Bonita, Bonita, Bonita
[Outro]

Bonita Applebum (Pharrell Williams Remix) was written by Q-Tip & Ali Shaheed Muhammad.
Bonita Applebum (Pharrell Williams Remix) was produced by Pharrell Williams.
A Tribe Called Quest released Bonita Applebum (Pharrell Williams Remix) on Fri Nov 13 2015.
I heard the Pharrell joint and it’s pretty laid back; pretty smooth, very sultry. It’s a difficult task when you have the regular version and then you have Tip’s Isley Brothers remix, and those were both fire.
