CB4 vs. Fear of a Black Hat

Yeah, like CB4 is the better movie but Fear was good, but a tad 'rough' around the edges.
I look at it like this if we're talking comedy, acting, music, cleverness and overall movie, Fear is better. No debate. Clearly.
But CB4 had the better looking film in terms of cinematography and it had by far the most memorably character in Gusto and probably more quotables in terms of just moments and scenes people remember.

It was made in 1993 and not like it’s a movie shown on TV much
I haven’t ever really heard any rappers ever talk about Fear maybe it hit too close to home

Never heard of fear of the black hat
What’s the meaning behind the title

Spin off of "Fear of a Black Planet" from Public Enemy. They were called NWH (nikkas with Hats). It's a parody movie on NWA (And gangster rap music of that era) just like CB4. Fear was written and came out first though but both dropped the same year.
They made fun of everyone from Spike Lee to John Singleton to Ice T, to LL Cool J to PM Dawn to C&C Music Factory

There’s a part in the movie when they’re explaining it. I don’t want to ruin it but it’s funny as fukk and does sound like the kind of convoluted nonsense a rapper would say sometimes to make themselves seem hard and smart at the same time.

I don't know what the meaning was back then but in IT someone who is labelled a "black hat" is out to commit malice for personal gain (ie a black hat hacker).
It's a double entendre I guess, they are relating the term of being a criminal black hat to being a black men and society being scared of them.
That's all the logic I could come up with.
Makes sense.

edit: double post
fear of a black hat is underrated whenever it alluded to them killin the old manager that shyt was funny, and the parody songs where all funny, lol fukk the security guard, its a rap spinal tap I like the concept, I probably seen cb4 more often because it used to air on tv and I don't really recall that happening too much with foabh, but it was more clever I think, though I found both entertaining
