Product Description

In the tradition of This Is Spinal Tap comes this hilarious comedy about the greatest rap group that never was. This slyly subversive satire smashes racial stereotypes while it skewers the entire world of Gangsta Rap. Chronicling the controversial career of bad boys N.W.H. (Niggaz With Hats), this uproarious 'mockumentary' lampoons all of hardcore rap's hot-button issues: violence, censorship, white rappers and ruthless record industry types. Through the guerilla lens of writer/director Rusty Cundieff, this underground laugh riot recounts the rise, fall and resurrection of a clueless bunch of would-be rappers Ice Cold, Tone-Def & Tasty Taste performing as N.W.H. Fear Of A Black Hat is a cult classic that critic Roger Ebert calls "funny and fresh." Features include: Audio Commentary by Director Rusty Cundieff; Original Theatrical Trailers; Music Videos; Deleted Scenes; Cast Interviews; Widescreen Format (Aspect ratio 1.85:1)

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Spinal Tap..., August 5, 2009

By	Clarence Baldwin "random opinions" (Fresno, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fear of a Black Hat is a great satire/parody. It takes what Spinal Tap created and expanded upon it. Surprisingly smart and biting, it exposes the often over-macho world of gangsta rap and creates a social commentary without sacrificing genuine humor and entertainment. Great film for those who don't even particularly listen to or enjoy rap music.
