 Qwipster's Movie Reviews - Review: Fear of a Black Hat
FEAR OF A BLACK HAT might be a little dated by today's standards, spoofing a style of hip hop that may not be known by many not in the scene at the time.
FEAR OF A BLACK HAT is not a film for everyone, as it does assume a familiarity with the music and groups spoofed, and considering it's now several years old, quite a bit of the humor has lost its satirical bite as hip hop of today is a vastly different scene.
If you're old enough and hip enough to remember the times, Cundieff's creation still provides plenty of belly laughs and is about as accurate a representation of hip hop of the day as there has been on celluloid.

 Review: Fear of a Black Hat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Fear of a Black Hat is the 1990s version of This is Spinal Tap, skewering rap music on the same stake that Rob Reiner used to impale heavy metal.
As was the case with Spinal Tap, the premise behind Fear of a Black Hat is that someone is doing a documentary.
The group she chooses is NWH (Niggaz With Hats), comprised of the fast-talking leader Ice Cold (Rusty Cundieff), the ultra-violent Tasty-Taste (Larry B. Scott), and the spiritual Tone Def (Mark Christopher Lawrence).

In the grand tradition of This Is Spinal Tap, Rusty Cundieff's urban comedy Fear of a Black Hat took perfect aim at Gansta Rap and blew it to a million riotous pieces.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Fear of a Black Hat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Released shortly after Chris Rock's uneven 1994 CB4, Fear of a Black Hat was closer to what both films appeared to be: a rap version of the comedy classic This Is Spinal Tap.
The mockumentary follows Nina Blackburn (Kasi Lemmons) as she follows around N.W.H. —; "Niggas with Hats." The band is led by Ice Cold (writer/director Rusty Cundieff), and includes Tasty Taste (Larry B. Scott, best remembered as Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds) and Tone-Def (Mark Christopher Lawrence).
Black Hat is at its best when the pretentious yammering stars of N.W.H. are trying to justify a song like "Booty Juice" or swearing that they're "Rappers Against Violence" while celebrating and reveling in their thug lives.

 Review: Fear of a Black Hat
I can't understand why this rap version of Spinal Tap hasn't attained the same cult status--perhaps it simply didn't get enough attention when it first came out, and if so it probably won't be widely appreciated for a long time.
Communications major Nina Blackburn is making a docu on rap music and whether it is the modern form of political expression in music, but unfortunately she has picked the dopiest (not dopest) rap group to follow for a year, NWH (Niggas with Hats).
There isn't a whole lot of plot--they squabble over their billing, lose three managers (adding to their total of five dead) to mysterious gun-related incidents, release Fear of a Black Hat, which makes them rap superstars, break up, go solo, and re-form at the end.
