Artwork Edited By dirt_dogHot Sex first appeared on the "Boomerang" soundtrack released in 1992. It was later included on the European version of Midnight Marauders. Throughout the video, Q-Tip can be seen wearing a ski mask looking like a '93 Ghostface Killer. So why was he wearing a mask? Well, Q-Tip was jumped by Wreckx-N-Effect's thugged out associates prior to the video shoot leaving him with a serious eye jammie. Phife Dawg in "Jazz": 'Strictly hardcore tracks, not a new jack swing'. Unable to hide the wounds with makeup, Q-Tip was forced to wear the mask for the video. Hot Sex wasn't included on the A Tribe Called Quest Anthology DVD. Thanks to Mamli for providing me with a high quality video tape rip. The rest of the videos taken from the DVD are Award Tour, Electric Relaxtion, & Oh My God. Enjoy!

even though Q-Tip was wearing that mask, it added more appeal to the video. anyway u put it, it worked mysteriously. cause i know nobody knew why he was wearing that mask, they thought it just added more appeal to the video. so Q-Tip might have took a lost, but at the same time picked up a win!
ReplyDeletecrazy right?!!
He looks like a cross between Rip Hamilton and Jim Carrey from The Mask.
ReplyDeleteMidnight Marauders was the album that turned me on to rap. Cool back story, and great blog - keep dropping knowledge on all of us.
