Whether you sport a fedora, a babushka or some Horton hears a Who type lid, this CD has something for you: phat beats (My Peanuts), dope rhymes (Grab Yo Stuff), smooth lyrical prowress (White Cops on Dope) and social consciousness (Come and Pet the P.U.S.S.Y.). Just look at some other song titles: Wear Yo Hat (Buried and Bald), F@#$ the Security Guards, Booty Juice. The words speak to me on a very intimite level. This CD changed my life.

I agree with Eddie about the necessity of seeing this movie. It should be required viewing for anyone who owns a rap album. In fact, they should make a sequal to this landmark film. With people like Puffy, Eminem and Will Smith dominating the charts, there are countless possibilities for lampooning.

Buy the CD. Listen to the CD. Love the CD.

Lyrical genius Rusty Cundieff's masterpiece is finally available again. I've been waiting 5 years for the re-release of this CD today, and I've not been disappointed. Full versions of all of the hit songs from Fear of a Black Hat. If you thought the bits you heard in the movie were dope, wait until you hear the whole album!

You really need to see this movie. Once you've seen the videos and can understand the beauty of Tasty-Taste ripping on LL Cool J, then you're ready to appreciate this CD. All the songs (even the optional one from the movie's opening that isn't no my copy of the tape) from the movie are here, with a few okay additionals like White Cops of Dope. And, if you were wondering, it comes with the lyrics, so you can impress your friends by busting into 'My Peanuts' at parties. Or, like me, you can keep your coworkers away by doing the same.

This ain't your average run-of-the-mill garden variety soundtrack! But you gotta be careful, cause the white man don't want you to buy this CD! I could go on and on quoting this great movie, but just trust me and buy this CD it is the perfect compliment to the film!

This is as funny a CD as I've ever heard. Rusty Cundieff's songs are incredibly deft (not def, although they're that, too) in their mixing of parody, verbal dexterity and even some internal rhymes that put the average busta to shame. The movie, of course, is brilliant as well.

A personal favorite, from "Come Pet ...": "It's our job to educate, infiltrate or shred 'em/So c'mon, let's spread 'em ..."

The only thing that keeps it from five stars is the idiotic "White Cops On Dope," which isn't in the movie and shouldn't have been on the CD. And why isn't "A Gangsta's Life Ain't Easy" (the song that's playing while Ice Cold is maxin' and relaxin' in the hot tub wit' his ...) on here?

Why the hell isn't this album still made. I'm willing to pay big bucks to get to cruise around and listen to Ice Froggy Frog. The movie is great, but I need the soundtrack. I bust a cap in anyone who think differently.

What makes this CD so great is despite rap being one of my least favorite musical genres, these are really good tunes! They're lyrically hysterical AND they rock!

It's a short list of films that can bear repetition. This one does. My copy has survived heavy usage for almost 10(!) years, but the soundtrack has the full versions of the songs.

See it, buy it, love it!

I thought I was the only one that got this movie and it's songs. The tracks are very reminicent of the early stages of hip-hop but it's meant to be that way. The lyrics are hilarious and even more so if you have experienced the movie. Once you have seen the movie, this soundtrack is a must. However, the soundtrack is strong enough to stand on it's own even without "A Gangter's Life Ain't fun." You will enjoy it, especially if you grew up listening to hip-hop.

Wear Your Hats! The movie is great(like Spinal Tap and CB4), but the soundtrack is unreal! You will sing along & laugh to every track, see the movie first to get the full effect. You will become a N.W.H. fan for life!

Unless you watched the extra featurs for the movie, you probably haven't hear the entire songs (and in some cases, NONE of the songs, as 'Ice Froggy Frog' and 'White Cops On Dope (parody of Body Count)' aren't even in the movie. I love listening to this cut as I am driving. Yeah, its kinda childish and stuff, but the songs they parody (My FAVORITE is the PM DAWN parody 'I'm Just A Human') are actually quite good. And, to be honest, the best song on the album, which is kindofa political statement about the Rodney King beating and race riots in LA, is 'Guerrillas In the Midst', and its not humorous at all, just really good and politically potent. If you like the movie, you will love the soundtrack.
