Critic Reviews
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The best hip-hop film of all.
-
Emanuel Levy, Variety
Inspired by This Is Spinal Tap, this mockumentary exposes the trials of a hardcore rap band, N.W.H. (Niggas With Hats) with wild, irreverent humor and exuberant music.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
If Mr. Cundieff doesn't match the satirical genius of Mr. Reiner's film, he does understand the rules of the game.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Not as fearless and sharp-edged as it could be -- but it provides a lot of laughs, and barbecues a few sacred cows.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
This movie is not tightly-scripted or elegantly produced, but it is (for the most part) highly entertaining. For those who have been waiting for a sequel to Spinal Tap, this may be the best alternative.
