Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
What is it about the mock documentary and popular music that seem to produce such deliciously subversive comedies? It worked for This Is Spinal Tap and it works again for Fear of a Black Hat, a mockumentary about a hot but hapless rap group. Writer-director Rusty Cundieff plays Ice Cold, leader of the gangsta rap group NWH (Niggaz with Hats), which also includes Tone-Def and Tasty Taste--and which seems to hit all the hot-button issues in rap today. Guns, obscenity, videos, violence--Cundieff has a sly sense of humor and knows how to get to the punch line over and over again. The result is surprisingly funny, an undiscovered gem that somehow slipped through the cracks during its meager theatrical release. --Marshall Fine

Rusty Cundieff provides masterful satire in this biting, funny mockumentary of a hip hop band. "Fear of a Black Hat" goes where "Spinal Tap" fears to tread. It takes on cultural commodication, patriarchy and Black machismo in ways that are both smart and absolutely hysterical. With more funky catch phrases than "Pulp Fiction", watch it and I bet you will be quoting from this movie for the rest of your days.

Great film from start to finish, had this film on vhs for years, so getting it on dvd with the extras was like watching for the first time, well worth the money

If you laughed while watching Spinal Tap you'll roll on the floor watching the chronological documentary about NWH, the satirical hip hop pioneers. Like Spinal tap most of the antics are based on factual incidences which have become legend in the hip hop world. Even if you are not a fan of the genre this movie trancends any misconseptions and delivers over and over again. It is very obvious who NWH parodies throughout different parts of their career, and the lyrics are so entertaining you will remember them for the rest of your life. Enjoy the trip.
Rating: -
The movie draws heavily from This is Spinal Tap, but manages to successfully blend the mockumentary feel of that classic with the world of 80's gangsta rap. The group NWH is made up of 3 stereotypical rappers and they are surrounded by many other characters which are parodies of real world rappers of the time (Vanilla Sherbet, M.C. Slammer). It is not movie with people who have a sensitivity for cursing or rap culture at it's fullest.
