Hot 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!

Shawn J Period - Production Spotlight

Posted: 10 Jun 2009 03:00 AM PDT

Shawn J Period was a dope mid-to-late 90s producer that hooked up beats for The Artifacts, Bush Babees, Mad Skillz, Mos Def, Black Star, J-Treds, etc. He became a born-again christian right around the turn of the century, and shortly thereafter, he disappeared from the hip hop scene. Here's a two volume set of tracks that he produced between the years of 1996 and 1999. He also handled production for his group "Down South" between the years of 1994 and 1995, so I'm including a link for their "Lost In Brooklyn" LP. Be aware that his Down South era production style is drastically different from the sound that he provided between the years of 1996 and 1999.
