Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:14:16 +0000 http://worldofhurtonline.com/?p=839#comment-274 I remember it well. The "Black Hat" song was a takeoff of Cube's. Rap supergroup N.W.H. (The H is for hats) featured members Tasty Taste, Tone Def and Ice Cold and performed takeoffs that included "F--- the Security Guards," "My Peanuts" and "Come and Pet the P.U.S.S.Y. (Political Unrest Stabilizes Society, Yes.) Some of it doesn't hold up so well, but the song parodies are hilarious to anybody who remembers rap from that time period -- hitting Public Enemy, LL Cool J, C&C Music Factory and even P.M. Dawn (when's the last time you heard of them?) I remember it well. The “Black Hat” song was a takeoff of Cube’s. Rap supergroup N.W.H.

It might be hard to find now, but the song was a staple in my mixtape rotation when I was in college. This was back in the day when rap was able to be political, edgy and dance-able at the same time.

Did I catch a "Fear of a Black Hat" reference in the title of this? Because ... what we're trying to say is ... we got hats now, muthafuckas. P.S.
