  • i searched for "hot sex"

  • Comment removed

  • I'll never be 19 again.....that summer.....this music......these days are gone....

  • Im sure im not imagining this but why is the version different to the one on midnight marauders :s

  • Just an FYI on the Q-Tip getting beat down thing: it was attributed to a crew affiliated with Wreckx-N-Effect called Posse Deep. These guys were actually named in an issue of The Source (that talked about how Tribe and WNE made up afterwards).

    Whether it happened or not, we all know who managed to have a much bigger career and impact on Hip-Hop in the long run.

  • to all my ppls with the funk, im the "undercover" brother

  • @xmneax lol its the first time I notice this but undercover brother was made after this song right

  • this is the real hip hop  hip hop thanks

  • @APEDOGBARKS...lmao POP POP.

  • Whooops! I don't have it loud enough on my mac! Let me turn it up. POP POP POP! ....nope. Still not enough! POP POP!

  • Tribe Called-Quest got intterviewed up in that book = "HOW:.,TO:.,RAP'''

    thats the book the real heads need, over 100 of the classic MCs were innterviewed in there, its an amazin read., got my-one from-Amazon...

  • umm no. the uploader of this video is wrong, cuz if u check out on wikipedia, the article on this song, said that q-tip wore that ski mask cuz of a physical altercation wit sum rap group named wrecks-n-effect.the fight occurred cuz wrrecks-n-effect thought that they were dissed by ATCQ in the song jazz (we've got)

  • @nightfox215 it also says [citation needed]

  • @zminemx oh

  • umm no. the uploader of this video is wrong, cuz if u check out on wikipedia, the article on this song, said that q-tip wore that ski mask cuz of a physical altercation wit sum rap group named wrecks-n-effect.

  • btw, the courts have a term for that kind of behavior, it's called... ASSAULT.

  • not to say it didn't happen, but somehow i don't see mr. "rumpshaker" resorting to violence over a lyric. would seem a bit extreme and and a needless over-reaction. i mean was there a time when va. beach (by way of uptown) became compton...?

  • @shamarone I've never heard of Teddy being personally involved, but they did say the dudes from Wreckx-n-Effect got in a fight with Tip over a line Phife had in the song. U can read it hear: ifihaventdotfilesdotwordpressd­otcom/2008/01/numeriser0003dot­jpg, it's from an old Source article.

  • i cant find anything about q-tip and teddy riley fight on the net. only thing i can find is that teddy riley is accused of beating up his daughters or some shit like that. LOL

  • Still love this beat. Never understood all the words.

  • @danielk916 same here :O

  • everyone knows what happened to Tip. it was Markell and Teddy Riley. they crashed dudes dome with a chair and knocked his eyeball loose.

  • 0:00 to 0:07 where it comes from?

  • the intro is so sick? where the sounds comes frm?

  • That mask on Q tip looks raw, haha

    It like goes with the song!

  • Woman were ugly back then.

  • probably one of tips best verses

  • QTIP fuckin killlls it "WHERE YA AT!?"

  • TIPS VERSE IS FIRE

  • I got the cd single for sale if anyone is interested.

  • all time great verse by qtip

  • He wears it because of the well documented fight that took place days before the shoot. It's too expencive to reschedule a massive effort like that and he wore the mask to hide the injured eye socket. Before someone says "nah ughhh did not ur wrong" look it up cause you sound stupid when you deny something most of us were around to remember hearing about on the news... That's like saying Tupac wasn't shot, that hole in his chest was in protest of the boxing match he had just left.

  • dudes. there is no way Tip got beat down by some corny ass, commercial, pop douchebag.

  • thanks to james for the tip on A Tribe Called Twist. El Segundo pretty good, really liked it. think I will try out some more.

  • Phife's best verse?

  • Actually...Teddy's crew Wreckkks 'n Effect jumped Tip. well documented.

  • i have questions about the award tour vid.

  • Phife kills it.

  • If he was beat up and his eye was messed up why do you see both of his eyes through the mask and his eyes look fine. I don't see any signs of a fight on him. I believe Tip on this one. He has been none to protest what he does not like....

  • i saw robin the other day at church girls play

  • Where ya at...

    tuh all my people with the funk

  • Phatt classic track !!-takes me back in the days !!

  • The one thing all the gullible, high school kids seem to overlook in regards to said imaginary scuffle is this: if it did happen, which most sane people highly doubt, then ATCQ would've just waited a week or two for the the bruises to go away...wtf. It's not like they would've absolutely HAD to shoot the video right then. Jesus, people...use your heads.

  • i love tribe

  • need this instrumental

  • Comment removed

  • what's the sample for this song?

  • TRIBEE!!! I loved thes guys as a kid!!

  • "don't be bitter, i hear that honey resembles a critter/heard she likes it 2-on-1 like my man John Ritter"

  • classic

  • Q-TIP's explanation makes more sense, because he seems like the type to stand up for what he believes in, so he is going to make some type of protest or statement to prove his point. You can see that in the way he fought to get his album Kamaal the Abstract out to the public. HE FOUGHT FOR 10 LONG YEARS. PROPS TO Q-TIP FOR PUTTING UP THE HARD FIGHT FOR REAL MUSIC!! BTW, OfficialQTIP is really Q-TIP (support the brotha)

  • @blkcherry21 totally, plus them doing songs like "Show Business" and his line off the Renaissance "I'll never desire for the industry." I hope his explanation is correct, I'm a Q-Tip fan for life.

  • i heard that honey resembles a critter....lol phife always droppin gems

  • Classic

  • @ myish08 yea i guess tht can be a reason y he wore the mask cuz there cant be any other way y he would wear it

  • ohh okk thanks man. props to Tip

  • what does "suboops suboops" mean?. Q-tip says it around 1:53

  • Tip is riffing on Sly & Robbie's "Boops (Here We Go)

    Ra6WJgVt4Y0

    You'll hear the "Si Boops Deh" line at about 2:19.

  • In the music video, Q-Tip wears a ski mask to hide the damage he suffered from a physical altercation with Wreckx-N-Effect who felt they were dissed in the group's single "Jazz (We've Got)".

  • i remember hearing back then,mtv raps i believe, bout his face was burnt somehowthats why he wore it...who knows but im pretty sure im right..

  • omg. i didn't know he got his azz whooped..man..i miss back in the day when ninjas had beef and just messed u up for life and wasnt so quick to grab a gun for dissin....effed up about Q tho.

  • damn who would have to balls to beat up q-tip? he knows everyone so i wouldve expected some retaliation haha

  • this is a remix

  • One of THE MOST recognizable tracks and beats of the golden era of rap. One of the top rap tracks of all time. NYC rap at it's best.... raw sound of the streets of that time. OUTSTANDING!!!

  • Comment removed

  • well about that Mask question.... i heard Q Tip got fucked up so bad by one of the members of Wrexx N Effect that he lost partial sight in one of his eyes hence why in the video for hot sex he wore a mask

  • I remembered the riff between Tribe and Wrexx over Phife's verse on "The Jazz."

    "Strictly hardcore tracks, not a new jack swing"

  • @zinkerlove That's Not True...Read The Description

  • One of my favorite background beats of all time.

  • hot sex on a platter

  • Sampled by BootCampClik for I Ain't Havin' That!

    dat track ida BOMB;D

  • tips verse goes to hard

  • I got Lunch Specialz 4 da 1st 10 Sistahz Who ReSpond 2 this post!

  • (2:12) pops - BANG BANG BANG!!!!!!!!!

  • "The misunderstanding resulted in a melee in which Q-Tip sustained an injury to one of his eyes. Thus, during the shooting of the promo clip for "Hot Sex", the rapper resorted to wearing a ski mask to cover up the abrasion." FreakLGrimeRappuh is right. Phife was misinterpreted to dissing Wreckx-N-Effect on the song Jazz(We've Got) and Q got in a brawl with one of the members.

  • so this is where mary j got that beat from, love at first sight

  • Phife killed it.

  • Dump ya ho in the trunk/save all the sad songs and tear jerkers/nii step back it's the lyrical worker... i'm such a damn dickens if u step to this than the plot just thickens... Tip ripped it.

  • the mask was worn out of refusal to do the video... it was in protest of the label....

  • MF Q-Tip now he's even MORE abstract lol

  • Nigga that shit got me rollin.

  • yo i was thinking the same exact thing!

  • the tribe is tha shit

  • Q Tip got fucked up so bad by one of the members of Wrexx N Effect that he lost partial sight in one of his eyes. thats why he s wearin a mask in the video for "Hot Sex" (Rumor)

  • yea it says that shit on Wikipedia, lol what the fuck was it worth it. Q-Tip seems like a peaceful dude.

  • Robin Givens is hot!

  • luv it

  • rofl.

  • phifes part is good but q-tips part is incredible.

  • he's probably just wearing that mask because it looks different and cool for the video, not because he got beat up...especially not by teddy riley...i almost burst out laughing when i read that

  • q had the altercation with wreckx-n-effect.

  • wrex n effect was produced by teddy riley n yes he was there when it went down

  • this is the real shit . teddy riley is a bitch who cant do shit new jack swing sucks ass wen he dies its gonna be because of me ice cube dissed new jack swing to but dey scared of him he said somthin worse he new jack swing on my nuts teddy riley juss a little bitch i hope he sees dis

  • droppin' that shit on the ill dramatics!

  • i think its pretty fuckin cool, i mean him rappin with the mask

  • He wore the mask i heard casue he didnt wanna do this video..not sure if it was a money thing or what...i LOVE that mask tho..its one of those Extreme cold military masks..

  • VEEERY NIICE MAAN THIS SONG IS FUCK

  • hot, gig that  flow

  • whats with the mask?

  • Q tip got punched by one of the Wreck N Effect guys, I don't know if this is the reason of the mask, but I read it is the reason Q Tip needs glasses now.

  • haha. fuckn gossip girl of rap right here. watta lie

  • Not sure if that story is true about the mask. Q tip is from QB and tribe were friends with leaders of the new school. Busta and them cats would have had their back.

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah the Neptunes aka Pharell Williams and Chad Hugo produced Rump Shaker of course Teddy didn't do them right business wise either .

    Real Talk

  • YES YES..DAMN RIGHT !!! This was the shit back in the early 90s..BOOMERANG SOUNDTRACK !! PEACE! I Miss the 90s !

  • I am liking Q Tip's mask man.

    Man videos these days have the same format and you can't even catch joke and be entertained anymore.

    You can't beat the 90's for video even when the video was in a club it was still interesting but not nowadays.

  • that story's got to be total bs. they would've just waited to shoot the video. lame.

  • Yo!!! Q-Tip was rockin the mask way before MF Doom was....LOL

  • @Mastagrip Q-Tip had that mask on because he got fucked up so bad by one of the members of Wrexx N Effect that he lost partial sight in one of his eyes.

  • @Mastagrip DOOM wears it for personal reasons.

  • @iMReCKLeSS22 Wrong sir. He wears it as a statement, "image means nothing, talent is everything". Sorry to burst your bubble.

  • @SunnGod1 Wow, I never thought of it that way, thanks

  • wen q tip came on i thoug it was lupe fiasco

    it sounded like em

  • mothafuck Teddy Riley!

  • omg i feel so bad ferr Q-Tip when he got messed up teddy! man FxCK teddy!

  • props to TIP for even showing up wit the mask on and doin the video!!! this shit was fire and his intro verse line will always be a sampe: WHERE U AT?!!!

  • sample i meant..sorry for the typo.

  • WHERE U AT?!!!!

  • i like new jack swing, but the Tribe is a million times better than Wreckx N Effect, which is who wikipedia says beat up q-tip.

  • tribe is ain't no god damn new jack swing

  • Das wat I'm sayin. U misunderstood, I'm talkin about how I like New Jack Swing, though the Tribe is better, know what i'm saying? it was a reference to the description.

  • SOOO FREEGIN SMOOVE

  • okay why is Q-Tip wearing tht mask!?!?!

  • umm did you read the description?

  • read the description..

  • why i thought tip was mf doom with the mask lol dope song though. i stil blast it in the whip

  • The mask is not a burn mask, in NYC back then we use to wear them for the cold!

    RH~

  • lol real talk i used to hate them lol and the Vasaline for ya face on Freezing Days

  • This is the joint right here bagging beat..Question...from when I was younger until now...CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY QTIP IS WEARING THAT DAMN MASK????

  • beacuse he got in a fight with one of Teddy Rileys Boys and his face was bruised

  • Teddy riley is broke!

  • Heltah Skeltah tried to use this beat on their

    second album. Not as good as the original!

  • their version was aite too, Meth and Mary also got on this...

  • wats da name of da movie?

  • The name of the movie is "Boomerang"

  • I'm in an ital mode but my energy's kenetik

  • This song was the bomb,too---didn't know it was from a movie soundtrack.

  • newjack was the star of tha rot supa-pop-hop 4 chicks an camp dudes."strickly Hip-Hop not a newjack swing

  • Q-Tip's newest album is fucking good. And where is New Jack Swing now? Just one of those forgotten genres that we laugh about like nu-metal.

  • That ain't fair--New Jack Swing at the time was one of the more exhilarating new musical styles around---it made rap and R&B even more fun to listen and injected some much-needed freshness into the pop musical landscape. I think it lasted from about 1988--1995--just a guess. Heck,even the tune that gave this style its name, "New Jack Swing" was fun as hell to hear. You had to be there in that era to appreciate it, I guess--it was plain fun!

  • thanks man. i remember one scene. i swear i saw this when i was like 5 lol

  • what was this movie?

  • "Boomerang" ..ONLY ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES EVER MADE!!

  • nope, youre all wrong.

    its actually MF Doom

  • the beef was between Wreckx-N-Effect and ATCQ. Teddy Riley were probably just involved by being their producer.

    I thinks its true that the mask is worn cause W-N-E beat up Q-Tip.

  • nigga the tribe is from Jamaica Queens yo stupid my nigga lol Wreckx and Effect couldnt swing at the park

  • hayofa is right wreckz an effect belonged to a gang teddy's uncle is a real OG. Africa Bam squashed da beef b4 it got out of hand after 1 of wreckz boyz done it to Qtip it was coverd by all the rap mags of the day.teddy moved from NY becaues of his uncle.

  • WTH! Q-tip was (allegedly) beaten up by Teddy Riley? TR is around 5'6" tall! Teddy's crew must have done most of the damage.

  • what does his height have to do with it?

    does he have to be 7' something to kick_ass?

    HOW TALL ARE YOU? (LOL)

  • Lol. No, a person doesn't NEED to be tall to kick ass. I'm Teddy's height, but I'm also a woman!

  • oh! okay... I was just jokin' anyway!!!

    ...but don't sleep on midgets... I've gotten in a fight with one... they are no joke!!!

    those tiny li'l limbs move fast!!!!

    FIESTY_LITTLE_BASTARDS!!! (LOL)

    (I STILL WON... BUT NOT EASY!!)

  • I knew I wasn't going crazy...

  • what's with the little bubble sounds?

  • yea thats weird it sounds like the sound that macs make when you turn the volume up or down

  • young MF Doom? lol.

  • What's with the mask?

  • Q-tip was jumped and sustained extensive cuts and bruises to his face around this time. The mask is to hide the damage.

  • "My mental is excelling cuz I dabble in the books"

    Wow you dont here lines like that anymore

  • agreed
