- Synopsis:
The gangstas, the girls, the guns. It's all here. And it's large! Join documentary filmmaker Nina Blackburn (Kasi Lemmons, Eve's Bayou) as she infiltrates the behind-the-scenes world of rap's most controversial, and well-armed, band, NWH (Niggaz With Hats). NWH are fast-talking philosophical Ice Cold (Rusty Cundieff, Tales from the Hood), short-tempered militant Tasty-Taste (Larry B Scott, Another Stakeout), and their spiritual centre, DJ Tone Def (Mark Christopher Lawrence, Crimson Tide). As a VIP behind-the-scenes observer you will find out the answers o the mysterious questions that have plagued the crew since the beginning: why have all of their managers met tragic, violent and entirely 'accidental' deaths? Why has big-time success always been just out of reach? Why are so many rappers named 'Ice' and how many are there? And what's with all the hats? Featuring hilarious videos of all their biggest hits, including 'My Peanuts', 'Booty Juice' and 'Come Pet the P.U.S.S.Y', Fear of a Black Hat is rap's answer to This is Spinal Tap and will also appeal to fans of The David Chapelle Show, Barbershop, CB4 and Don't be a Menace to South Central. - Actors:
