Ice Cold (Cundieff), the main rapper and the intelligent and vulgar backbone of the group.

Tone Def , the who is talented enough to scratch with his butt and his penis (the latter is not shown directly, but strongly and humorously implied). His name is spelled 'Tone-Def' in the credits but not in other parts of the movie.The film is told from the point of view of Nina Blackburn , a who analyzes hip hop as a form of for her degree. She chooses N.W.H. As the subject of her and follows them around for a year. She familiarizes herself with the band members, their beliefs, and their often strange behavior.The members wear outrageous headwear during their performances. This is explained as an act of rebellion, remembering their ancestors, who had to work bare-headed in the sun. According to N.W.H., hats are a symbol for resistance and revolution since their hatless ancestors were too tired from working all day in the sun to revolt.

This is a typical example of the bizarre logic the group uses to explain the deeper meanings behind their otherwise crude and base music and images.A steady source of comedy is N.W.H.' S use of over-the-top graphic language (e.g. Sex, violence and rantings against the police), which detractors see as a cheap means to sell records, but in their eyes is essential to convey a 'socially relevant message'. They offer jaw-dropping explanations why songs such as 'Booty Juice' and 'Come and Pet the P.U.S.S.Y.' Are in fact deep and socially significant, and that detractors obviously do not truly understand the 'real meaning'. Throughout the movie, it is difficult to tell if the members of N.W.H.

Truly believe what they are saying, or are just portraying an image.A lot of time also goes into describing N.W.H.' S feud with another rap group, the Jam Boys. The groups constantly insult and discredit each other, even sometimes resulting in brandishing weapons. At one point, N.W.H. Brings to light evidence that the Jam Boys' lead rapper attended a prep school, directly threatening his.A running gag—inspired by This is Spinal Tap—involves their white managers dying under mysterious circumstances (the group originally insist that they 'wasn't in town when the shit happened'). They explain to Nina that their first few managers were black—in fact, were their relatives—and that they decided switching to white managers would be better for their families and the black community.N.W.H.' S internal matters turn sour when Ice Cold cuts down his involvement because he wants to participate in a film, and Cheryl C.

, a, hooks up with Tasty-Taste. Although she is clearly more interested in his money than in him, Tasty lets her take over his life. When Tasty finds Cheryl and Ice Cold in bed, N.W.H. Is no more.The group breaks up and each member launches a solo career. Ice dedicates himself to; Tasty brings out a in which he curses Ice; and Tone Def becomes a (with obvious references to 'flower rappers,' such as ). None sees much success until they ultimately reunite for a triumphant comeback in which their differences have been set aside, at least for the time being.Parody/satirical references The members of N.W.H.

Were created by using combinations of different aspects of different rappers and other people in the rap industry, as opposed to each of them satirizing a specific individual. For instance, Tasty Taste's violent personality and lyrics, short stature, and hairstyle are similar to the rapper from N.W.A, while his dress and name can just as easily be attributed to from Public Enemy.Similarly, Ice Cold's name can be said to be a parody of the many different rappers that use the word 'Ice' in their names such as and, but it can also be said that he easily parodies others such as and, as well as other rappers. By not centering their parody on one particular person or group, N.W.H. Had the flexibility to satirize a wide range of artists, groups, and events in the world of hip hop.The film satirizes the testosterone-fueled scene, which is obsessed by, sex, and violence. It also spoofs and lampoons, and rap groups.

Many controversies are spoofed as well, including feuds, greedy record companies, and many others.Characters Along with the film's title and its central characters, there are other characters seen briefly who are parodies of real-life prominent figures in hip-hop:.

Yo Highness:. Ice Tray, Ice Box, Ice Coffee, Ice Berg, etc.: variations of the name 'Ice' and the overuse of it in general in the rap industry. The Jam Boys:. Marty Rabinow: N.W.H.' S manager; his name is similar to Rainbow, which is a joke on Jewish names containing colors (e.g. Goldman, Goldberg, Greenberg, Silverberg); he's also a parody of stereotypical Jewish managers of African-American performers, such as N.W.A's. Rabinow is portrayed as a decent man whom N.W.H.

Likes and who provides them with sound, honest management. However, like those who preceded him, Marty dies—as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot under very bizarre comedic circumstances.Music Songs.
