Tasty Taste Quotes in Fear of a Black Hat (1993)

Nina Blackburn: So, guys, what's the deal with the hats?

Ice Cold: That's what NWH is all about. We got a whole hat philosophy, you know what I'm saying? I mean, see, back in the days when there was slaves and stuff, they would work in the hot sun all day, you know, with the sun beating down them. Hatless. I mean, not even a babushka.

Tone Def: Word. Heads totally exposed to the sun.

Ice Cold: You know, so by the time they got back to the plantation from being in all the heat, they was too tired to rebel against their masters, right? So what we saying with Niggaz With Hats is, "Yo, we got some hats now, muh-fuckers."

Tasty Taste: And we ain't too tired to bust a cap in yo ass.

Tasty Taste: This is a bazooka, see? And you just pick this up like this. It's-it's-it's-it's kind of heavy. But I figured if I couldn't pick it up, I need to have it.

Nina Blackburn: Why would you need a bazooka?

Tasty Taste: Well, sometimes you gotta take out stuff like a bus or a building, or a *bunch* of muhfuckas.

Nina Blackburn: Do you worry that you have a lot of enemies, more than the average guy?

Tasty Taste: So what you tryin' to say? You tryin' to say that I'm, like, paranoid 'n stuff? Do I look like the kind of person that would be paranoid? I mean, when you rollin' with THIS, would *you* be paranoid?

Tasty Taste: It's our civic duty to bang the booty.

Tasty Taste: We anti-violent. Anyone says different, I'll bust a cap in their ass.

Nina Blackburn: So, what's the deal with the hats?

Ice Cold: Shit, the hats're what NWH is all about. See, back in the day when there were slaves and stuff, we was forced to work in the hot sun all day, hatless. I mean, not even a babushka.

Tone Def: Word. Heads totally exposed to the sun.

Ice Cold: So when the slaves got back from the fields, they was too tired to revolt against they masters. So what we're sayin' now is: Yo, we got some hats now, muh-fuckas.

Tasty Taste: And we ain't too tired to bust a cap in yo' ass.

Nina Blackburn: They say it's the quiet ones that you have to watch out for.

Tasty Taste: And, if you've noticed, I ain't said shit for a couple minutes now.

Tone Def: I need one of y'all to stick that bedpan underneath my ass.

Tasty Taste: It ain't THAT type of party.
