5 out of 5 stars Hilarious, and not just for hip-hop fans.......2006-09-14

Follow the adventures of N.W.H and laugh [...]!

This movie is often described as "Spinal Rap", and rightly so. True, it is pretty much Spinal Tap remade scene-for-scene with hip-hop instead of heavy metal, but it is just as funny. The song parodies are brilliant - I'm not much of a hip-hop fan and don't know a great deal about the genre, but all the groups and rappers they lampoon are all instantly recognisable. It's full of brilliant jokes and scenes (Tasty Taste's gun collection scene is hilarious - like Nigel's guitar collection in Spinal Tap, but with firearms), and the songs are really well written and very funny, such as "F**k tha Security Guards", and "Guerrillas in the Midst".

Great music/comedy film, and not just for die-hard fans of rap. If you liked Spinal Tap, you'll love this.

3 out of 5 stars Good but not the greatest hip hop film.......2004-10-11

I remember when this film was on general release in the cinema - it was released in the UK not long after Chris Rock's "CB4", and at the time I thought that it was a crying shame that there were hardly any good black music genre films, and suddenly there were two films with the not so serious take on hiphop, this particular one being the weakest. I remember thinking at the time "who the hell let loose Rusty Cundieff behind the camera?". However, in retrospect, although I still rate CB4 as a better story, there are some hilarious moments in this film too, especially the take off of P.M. Dawn which still cracks me up to this day. Thankfully, Rusty did go on to do some other good work (House Party II springs to mind)

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Hip Hop Comedy of all time!.......2004-02-27

This is film that must be seen by anybody who considers themselves a fan of Hip-Hop and Comedy. The number of jibes made about the once untouchable Hip-Hop community is amzing. Almost every scene has a classic moment, the script is superb and the songs (though they are parodies of original rap songs) had me splitting my sides. I never tire of watching this film and I believe everyone should watch it at least once. The film may be a little old now but you would be suprised at how relevant some of the jokes still are.
