A young journalist, David Katz, who writes for a hip-hop magazine called "Mic Check", starts following a music mogul around as part of a story and over time incorrectly starts to think he is part of that world, which leads to him writing an article for a gossip newspaper that starts a rivalry between the producer and his most famous rapper.

Le film suit Lil Wayne avant et après la sortie de l'album Tha Carter III, dans la perspective du cinéma direct, sans aucune interview du rappeur. Bien que celui-ci ait donné son accord pour le film, il tenta d'en bloquer la sortie après avoir vu la première projection au festival du film de Sundance 2009. Cette réaction était due au fait qu'on l'y voit consommer de la marijuana et du sirop à la codéine en grandes quantités. En dépit de son action en justice, le film est sorti le 17 novembre 2009 aux États-Unis en DVD et au téléchargement. Il a atteint la tête des iTunes movie charts pour sa première semaine et le Huffington Post l'a appelé « un des cinq meilleurs documentaires de hip-hop de tous les temps ».

As most of those who follow the Rastafarian faith do, Snoop decided to go through a transformation into his new self; his new, Rastafarian self. Reincarnated documents Snoop Dogg’s transition into Snoop Lion, which involved him taking a trip to Jamaica to make a reggae album and discover more about the Rastafarian faith. The documentary starts out by exploring Snoop’s past; his time on Death Row Records, the loss of his friends Tupac and Nate Dogg, and the murder accusation. The focus then shifts to his spiritual journey and new style of music. While in Jamaica, Snoop collaborated with a few famous reggae artists, including Bunny Wailer and Diplo, to create the Reincarnated (album), which focuses on love and nonviolence. Wailer was Snoop’s guide throughout the trip, leading him through his journey into Rastafarianism. The film includes many intimate moments with Snoop, where he discusses his personal thoughts and reasons for becoming Rasta. The documentary also includes the heavy marijuana smoking in which Snoop participated, which is a common practice among Rastafarians, and a common stereotype of how they practice their faith as well.

This film is a comedic mockumentary depicting the perspective of a filmmaker as she trails a hardcore gangsta rap group called N.W.H. ("Niggaz With Hats"), a play on the name of the popular group N.W.A In many ways, Fear of a Black Hat is similar to the satirical film about early 1980s heavy metal This is Spinal Tap.

Depuis plus de vingt ans, le rap n'a cessé de prendre de l'ampleur : cette musique dont le grand public découvrit l'existence dès 1979 avec le tube de Sugarhill Gang Rappers' delight est devenu un genre majeur, infiltrant peu à peu les hit parades du monde entier et les habitudes vestimentaires de la jeune génération. Cependant, dans l'ombre des rappers occupant le devant de la scène musicale se trouvent les DJs. Ce documentaire, ponctué d'interviews d'Afrika Bambaataa et de GrandMixer DXT, retrace l'histoire de ces artistes, des années 70 à nos jours, et en particulier des experts du scratch, indissociable du phénomène hip-hop.

Ce documentaire ouvre à nouveau les enquêtes sur les meurtres des superstars du rap, Biggie Smalls (The Notorious B.I.G.) et Tupac Shakur. Ces deux rappeurs, d'abord amis, sont devenus à cause de leurs succès respectifs des ennemis mortels. La thèse officielle de leurs assassinats est celle de la guerre du rap. Nick Broomfield offre la parole aux témoins et aux proches que la police n'a pas entendus. Les dessous de ces enquêtes bâclées révèlent la corruption des autorités, le pouvoir du producteur Suge, le rôle du FBI, les rumeurs selon lesquelles Notorious Big aurait commandité le meurtre de Tupac.
