:03:01
And what you are about to see
is a documentary on the rap group N.W.H...
:03:05
or Niggaz With Hats.
:03:07
I began this project as a thesis
for my doctorate in sociology.
:03:11
My belief was that
not only does rap function...
:03:14
as the political voice
of today's urban youth...
:03:17
but it also serves as a tracer
of styles and values.
:03:21
I was attracted to N.W.H. because of...
:03:23
the strong political poses
adopted on such albums as the...
:03:27
controversial and never released
Kill Whitey album.
:03:31
This group also seems
to epitomize the disdain...
:03:34
towards women found
in much of rap culture...
:03:36
with songs such as
My Peanuts and Booty Juice...
:03:39
which they claim is a political theme.
:03:42
So sit back and enjoy.
The brothers have a lot to say.
:03:46
Now, I hear you guys are
from a really rough neighborhood.
:03:50
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
:03:52
So, where? Compton? The sewer? Oakland?
:03:55
-All that shit's for punks.
-Brooklyn?
:03:56
No, we don't necessarily like to say
where we're from.
:04:00
I thought all rappers like to say
where they're from.
:04:03
Bragging about their neighborhood
as the toughest.
:04:05
Yeah, we could.
:04:06
That's like a motherfucker
saying he got a big dick...
:04:09
and can fuck for hours.
:04:10
Exactly. So what we're saying is,
we don't front.
:04:13
We perform in this motherfucker.
:04:16
They say it's the quiet ones
that you have to watch out for.
:04:19
And if you've noticed, I ain't
said shit for a couple minutes now.
:04:23
That's true. I also noticed
that you don't smile too much.
:04:27
Damn skippy.
:04:28
If you be smiling,
motherfuckers think you're a punk.
:04:31
And I ain't no punk.
:04:32
Tasty once shot a motherfucker
for taking his picture...
:04:35
while he was thinking about smiling.
:04:38
-How about when you're making love?
-Nah!
:04:42
If you smile, the woman thinks she got you.
:04:44
The next thing you know,
she asking you for money and shit.
:04:48
Exactly. The best thing, if you think
you're the kind of motherfucker...
:04:52
that's predisposed to be smiling and shit...
:04:54
you best to kick that shit doggie-style.
:04:57
Then you can go in from behind, right?
