Fear of a Black Hat (1994, US) is a mockumentary on the evolution of American rap music. This pseudo-documentary gives us the perspective of fictional film-maker Nina Blackburn, as she trails a hard-core gangsta rap group called N.W.H. ("Niggaz With Hats", a play on the name of the popular group, NWA.)

We glimpse the group on tour, as well as in their daily lives, and there are several musical performances, mostly in the form of music video.

There are many characters featured parodying rap and hip hop artists through the ages.

In many ways, Fear of a Black Hat is similar to the satirical film about early 1980s heavy metal, This is Spinal Tap.

The name of the film derives from the Public Enemy album Fear of a Black Planet (1990, Def Jam.)
